A tiny twitch of Damon's brow, a half-smiling, half-sneering expression on his face as he looked at Yasmine.
"The babies in Chloe's belly still need a father's love."
Yasmine was speechless. This annoying, shameless man! He was now using the kids to make her shut her mouth!
"Glad to hear you know that. I think men are unreliable. What do you guys think of family and children? Career and ambition are the most important." Yasmine said.
Damon chuckled, "I don't have much ambition now; the children are the most important."
Yasmine frowned, "Don't play innocent in front of me."
"Regardless, Chloe is mine." Damon said.
Yasmine's lips were tightly closed.
"And the children are mine." Damon added.
Yasmine clenched her fists.
"Chloe and the children are mine." Damon continued.
Yasmine's wheelchair sled towards Damon.
Nate, who was on the side, watched them without finding it strange. A subtle expression on his face, but it seemed he was used to it.
Nathan, on the other hand, his head swaying back and forth with the rhythm of Yasmine and Damon's conversation. Hearing his brother keep mentioning the children, he blinked. "Bro." Nathan slowly raised his hand, "I have a question."
Damon looked at him coldly, "Shoot. Just spit it out, don't waste our time."
Nathan curled his lips and said, "The children you're talking about, are they yours?"
This time Damon stared at him coldly. Yasmine also turned her head and gave him an icy look, saying "What do you mean? The two children in my daughter's belly are not your brother's, but someone else's? Is this how you think of my daughter?"
Nathan wasn't really stupid. After hearing this, he quickly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "I didn't mean anything else, I just didn't expect. How could she have children? My brother, he's like this..."
As he said this, he secretly glanced at Damon.
Damon narrowed his eyes and asked, "Go on. What am I like?"
Nathan gave a dry laugh and replied, "Nothing really."
Yasmine looked at these two brothers and suddenly felt a bit envious of their relationship. If she had been able to keep that child back then, she thought, Chloe wouldn't have been so lonely, and she wouldn't have been without anyone to rely on. If there was someone who could stay by her side, why would Chloe have to bear so much.
But then she thought, that was life; everything was destined.
For example, she was destined to lose a child and to give birth to Chloe. Chloe was destined to go through all this, to meet Damon. Wasn't everything destined?
For example, this time attending the state banquet was also the case. Since it was already decided by fate, then, she would just go with the flow.
"Since you won't back down, your grandfather certainly won't treat the entire Harper family as a joke. You might as well give up your inheritance." Yasmine advised.
Nate looked at Yasmine, a little confused.
Damon asked, "So I don't fight at all?"
Yasmine smiled and responded, "Rather than fighting and losing in the end, it's better not to fight at all. At least you can keep some dignity and not lose too much dignity."
