Queen Julia nodded, "Go on, keep him company. If you need anything, just give me a holler." She doubted it would be necessary though.
Chloe nodded, picked up her dress and started towards the door. After a few steps, she paused halfway.
Queen Julia raised an eyebrow and smiled as Chloe turned around.
"I might not need those measurements we just took," Chloe said.
"What do you mean?"
Chloe grinned, gently patting her belly. Her eyes and brows were filled with happiness. "These two little ones are growing each day..."
The smile on Queen Julia's face stiffened slightly. She blinked in surprise, her expression shifting from confusion to joy. She covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, "Oh my God, are you for real... you're pregnant, with twins?"
Chloe nodded, "So I might not need those measurements for the dress. I have no idea how big these two will be..."
Queen Julia rushed forward, gently touching Chloe's still flat stomach, "Carrying twins must be so tough. Your belly will definitely be much bigger than others. No worries, we can make the dress more loose-fitting. Oh my God. I can't even imagine how exciting the coronation on Christmas will be."
Chloe looked down at her belly, imagining the scene, "I completely understand your excitement about the coronation, because I also want to tell everyone that Damon is my husband, and we are having adorable twins."
Queen Julia nodded, "Yes, I love you, just like you love them."
"I understand. Take care of yourself, I gotta go now..."
"Go where?" A deep voice echoed from the entrance.
Chloe's foot, which had just taken a step, suddenly froze, and her entire body came to a halt. She tightened her grip on her dress and looked towards the door, her heart skipping a beat.
The double doors opened, revealing a familiar figure. Tall and elegant in a magnificent black coat, his attractive face smiled warmly, his deep gazes fixated on her.
Queen Julia glanced over, a smile flashed in her eyes. She nodded approvingly, relieved for Chloe's choice in a man. With his charisma and looks, Damon was definitely a chick magnet.
Chloe watched as Damon slowly approached her. Her longing for him bubbled up, mixed with a myriad of emotions. Her eyes immediately welled up, her eyelashes trembling, about to shed tears.
The calm she had just moments ago vanished as soon as she saw Damon. Her heart instantly softened, and she dropped all her defenses, clutching her skirt as she ran toward Damon like a child.
Before she even reached him, he had already reached out to catch her. She threw herself into his arms.
Damon tightly held Chloe by her waist, bending over so she could wrap her arms around his neck. "Where were you off to? Didn't you promise to wait for me here?"
Chloe shook her head, "I saw the news. You're no longer the CEO of The Harper Group."
Damon chuckled, let go of Chloe, looked down into her worried and guilty eyes, "I resigned voluntarily. I wasn't fired. Do you think I don't care about my reputation?"
Chloe looked him in the eyes, "But now you're no longer the CEO."
"So do you like me or me as the CEO?"
