That's the best idea she's got!
Rose picked up a bunch of grapes from the table, ready to enjoy, but then she started laughing. "Why would he give him money?"
"And why on earth would he send stuff to Winston for no reason?"
Rose popped a grape into her mouth. "Who knows why he suddenly sent Winston two bags full of onions..."
Chloe made a face. Onions? What's that about?
"Ms. Yasmine is planning to go to Angel's Haven Orphanage tomorrow. She asked if you want to come along. She said you're about to become a mother, and it's time to learn how to take care of a baby."
Chloe thought for a moment. "Angel's Haven Orphanage?"
"Yeah. Isn't that where Ms. Yasmine grew up?"
"I can go, but probably not until the afternoon."
"Suit yourself, just let her know."

In the evening, when Damon got home, he had two bags in his hand. When Chloe saw him coming, she rushed to him, but he pushed her away.
There was a warning in his eyes. "Don't get too close."
Chloe's lips pressed together. "Why are you being so careful?"
Damon looked somewhat helpless. Looking at the little woman in front of him pretending to be angry, he couldn't help himself. He leaned over and lightly tapped her nose with a doting, low voice. "Mrs. Harper, you're about to become the mother of my two children, you should take better care of yourself, right?"
Chloe's lips relaxed a bit. "...Then why were you so stern just now?"
Damon looked helpless. "I wouldn't dare be stern with you."
He stood up, changed his shoes, and handed her the bags. "You go in and see what's inside."
Chloe took the bags, knowing Damon was deliberately avoiding her. She brought the bags to the couch and took out what was inside.
"Is this clothing?"
Rose, standing nearby, took a look. "It's radiation protection. Essential for pregnant women."
By this time Damon had come in, having changed his shoes. He gave Rose a cold look, and she quickly tossed the bag aside. What, did he think she'd like it? She could buy her own!
"Wear these from now on. Radiation isn't good for you."
Chloe nodded, put the clothes aside, and looked up at Damon.
Damon reached out and tousled her hair, saying helplessly, "Just wait a little longer."
Rose rolled her eyes. Wait for what?
Sure enough, after a while, Damon took a phone call and then took them both out the door. The three of them got into the elevator, but instead of going down, it went up. They only went up one floor, and they were at their destination.
They knocked on a door, and when Rose saw who opened it, she was relieved that she wasn't being sold.
