Noticing his gloomy look, Chloe clasped her tummy, eyeing him warily. "What are you thinking about?"
Damon's gaze moved from her stomach and lingered on her pretty face. Finally, he slowly said, "You are my wife. You know that, right?"
Chloe blinked. "I know. What are you getting at?"
Damon's lips sealed, pointing at her belly. "So those two were accidents. Accidents aren't meant to be a big deal."
Chloe was speechless. Somehow she felt that her children would lack a father's love from the moment they were born. The thought of her two kids sitting on the bed, looking up with big eyes, waiting for a hug from their father, it was a bitter pill to swallow.
"You...don't love them?" Imagining this pitiful scene, Chloe's voice bore a hint of grievance. How could her children lack a father's love?
Looking at Chloe's pitiful face, Damon leaned in for a kiss on her cheek, whispering in her ear, "I love you more."
Chloe's eyes lit up, barely able to hide her smile. At this moment, Damon grabbed Chloe's hand.
"Huh?"
"Didn't you say you were tired? Let me take you to bed."
"Oh... Can't you show some love for our kids, too?"
"No."
"... But I'll love them so much."
"Still no." His voice became serious.
"What do you mean no?"
Damon closed his lips tightly, took a deep breath, bent over and picked up Chloe, heading straight for the bedroom. "You can only love me."
Without hesitation, Chloe shook her head. "Since you don't love them, I'll love them twice as much, to make up for the love you won't give."
Damon's expression changed slightly. This woman, she really knew how to play with his emotions!
"They are our children. Of course, I love them. So, you don't need to double..." Save some love for him, perhaps.
Seeing Damon's awkward expression, Chloe couldn't help but laugh. He was saying one thing but thinking another. But the kids haven't been born yet. It's still early days. When they are born, how could he, as a father, not love them.
Damon pulled back the covers, tucking Chloe in tightly. "Go to sleep."
"Are you going to the office?"
"Yes, I have to feed you and them."
Chloe smiled. "Then, good luck!"
