Damon looked down at the petite woman lying on his stomach and raised an eyebrow. "What are you up to now?"
What did he mean by "up to now"? What had she done before? Chloe didn't reply directly, "Just asking."
Damon shook his head, "Well, I'm not."
Upon hearing this, Chloe frowned, "Didn't I give you the 20 billion from Las Vegas?"
He replied, "Does having 20 billion make you a rich dude?"
Chloe's mouth fell open, speechless for a moment. Didn't he consider 20 billion as being rich? Then what was his idea of a rich dude? She even thought of herself as a super-rich lady now!d2
She said, "Having 20 billion should make you rich."
Damon said, "Guess rich dudes aren't as rich as I thought."
Please, just shut up! If people heard this, it might bring trouble! It was infuriating.
Chloe, "What about the 20 billion…"
Damon, "What? Didn't you give it to me? Are you backing out?"
Chloe rubbed her chin against Damon's muscular stomach, envious of his abs. How could his body be so good?
Chloe, "I'm not backing out, just wondering if you have any plans for it. If not…"
"I have plans."
Damon didn't even let Chloe finish her sentence before answering. A hint of disappointment flashed across Chloe's face. "Alright."
Damon gently stroked her hair, "You okay?"
Chloe looked a bit disappointed, but she shook her head, "No."
Damon watched her for a moment, then, pushing her shoulders, he laid her down on the pillow. He said, "Go to sleep early. It's late."
Chloe sighed, staring at the ceiling with wide-open eyes, clearly not feeling sleepy. She tried to close her eyes, but it didn't last long before she opened them again. She turned to look at the man next to her, only to meet his intense gaze, as if he knew she couldn't sleep and was waiting for her to open her eyes.
Caught red-handed, Chloe blinked and gave him an awkward smile. She said, "… I'm not sleepy now."
A few seconds later, Chloe said, "I need to use the restroom."
A few minutes later, Chloe lay back down on the bed.
Not long after, she looked at Damon again, who was still staring at her.
Chloe, "...I'm thirsty, I want some milk."
