"Are you sure there's nothing?" Damon asked.
Chloe nodded, "Nothing."
"Kiss me then."
Chloe froze. What was happening here?
Damon continued, "You said there's nothing you want, right? Now you don't even want to kiss me?"
Chloe frowned, and to prove that she wasn't lying in Damon's logic, she didn't think much and just leaned in to kiss Damon's thin lips.d2
Then during the kiss, Damon suddenly took control, he was one step ahead of Chloe, and kissed her. This time, he didn't give Chloe the chance to give him a peck and leave, he held her tightly by the back of her head.
Just a moment ago, his lips were cold, but now they had a warmth that could melt her.
Chloe's whole body softened, and she didn't even have the strength to stand straight.
Under Damon's imposing presence, her shoulders slowly leaned against the wall behind her.
Just then, the door suddenly opened. Chloe was dizzy from the kiss, and it took her a few seconds to react. By the time she realized it, the door next to her had already been abruptly opened.
"Why not, just coming for a meal. The cook is free... Oh my God!!"
The voices from the open door became clearer. Nathan's words suddenly stopped, he froze for a moment, then tried to close the door and leave, but Yulia's puzzled voice came from behind. "What's wrong? Aren't we going in?"
She curiously walked a couple of steps forward and took a peek inside. Because of Nathan's sudden appearance, Chloe forcefully pushed Damon away. What Yulia saw was the moment Chloe pushed Damon away and their lips parted.
Yulia's face turned red instantly, and she stood there not knowing what to do. It felt like the awkwardness of a mom walking into her son's room and seeing him watching an adult movie.
Chloe was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole. She grabbed the sides of Damon's open coat with both hands and buried her face in it. Damon's eyes were filled with unfulfilled desire, and now that he was interrupted abruptly, his face immediately turned stern.
Nathan knew things were bad, but there was no turning back.
Damon slowly turned his face, and Nathan instantly wore a mournful expression, starting to plead with his brother. "Damon, I..."
He couldn't find an excuse that wouldn't get him punched even after thinking for a long time. He couldn't tell the truth that he just wanted to have a delicious meal while they were not home, so he wanted to use their cook.
Just as he was getting anxious, Nathan turned his head and saw Yulia, his eyes brightened, he immediately pulled her into his arms and said, "Yulia hasn't been feeling well these days. She's always nauseous when she eats, she said she really liked yesterday's lunch, so I came to borrow the cook... um... I think she might be pregnant, and I am planning to take her to the hospital for a check-up after lunch."
Yulia looked at Nathan in disbelief as he smoothly spun a web of lies. Using her as an excuse for his lie, this made her feel both amused and helpless.
How could she be pregnant?
Apparently, Nathan's lie worked. When Chloe heard this, she looked up from Damon's chest, and her gaze went directly to Yulia. "You... are pregnant?"
Yulia paused, "I..."
