Damon gently pecked her nose, his dark eyes quietly focused on her.
Chloe blinked her eyes lightly, her hands scaling his shoulders, pushing herself into his warm, broad chest, and fondly returning his kiss on his chin. "Sorry, I shouldn't have spoken about him that way. I know it's disrespectful to our elders, but I thought it might cheer you up."
Despite the strangeness of this statement, it was clear that Damon was in high spirits, sensing Chloe's obvious displeasure with Presley.
Because he was dissatisfied with Presley, and he felt she should join him in his discontent.
In this matter, from the beginning to the end, Damon didn't have the right to be angry with Chloe.
Moreover, even if he was angry, he couldn't do anything about it.d2
But some lingering emotions made him nibble on Chloe's lips in a somewhat sullen manner, before he let her go and began to help her out of her pink cotton coat.
Chloe obediently allowed him to attend to her. So much so that she ended up naked, carried into the bathroom.
Lying in the bathtub, she gazed at her slightly protruding belly and tenderly stroked it. Then she looked up at Damon and asked calmly, "Didn't you promise to get me a dress? The Global Economic Summit is tomorrow night. Where's my dress?"
Damon's big hand also rested on her stomach, gently caressing it, feeling the curve of her belly.
A corner of his mouth lifted in a smirk.
"You can wear a down jacket."
Chloe's bored eyes suddenly blinked, looking at him in surprise. "A down jacket? Like the bulky one I wore today? I'll be the laughing stock of the Global Economic Summit dressed like that. I don't want to be a chubby bunny anymore."
Damon chuckled lightly, "You're carrying my babies now. No one will laugh at you."
Chloe shook her head, "I don't want to. This might be my last banquet for several months."
"But with your current belly, I don't think there’s a suitable dress for you."
Chloe pursed her lips tightly, her brows furrowed, her face looking rather displeased. "I never thought you'd break your promise."
"Your health is important right now. Beauty can be put aside."
Chloe shot him a particularly resentful look.
"Hmm? Are you really that angry?"
Damon was always curious about Chloe's little temper tantrums during her pregnancy, so sometimes he couldn't help but poke fun at her.
Sure enough, she never disappointed him.
After the bath, Chloe was carried out of the bathroom by Damon. She stubbornly went through their suitcases for a while, but indeed didn't find the dress Damon had promised her. Finally, she crawled back into bed sullenly, pulling the blanket over her.
Seeing this, Damon couldn't help but chuckle, both indulgent and helpless. How could this woman be so adorable?
He climbed into the bed, pulling her into his arms despite her sulking. "Still angry?"
"I don't want to talk to people who break their promises."
"Heh." Damon chuckled softly.
Her mood lasted until the next day at noon.
At this time, Nathan and Kane were trying to convince Chloe to go out for food, but Chloe remained silent and unresponsive.
"Damon, what did you do to upset Chloe? Look at her, she's on a hunger strike."
"I think you're getting too cocky. Now that Chloe's pregnant, do you think you've got nothing to fear?"
Hearing both of them siding with her cheered Chloe up a lot.
Damon sat there impassively; regardless of what they said, his temper was surprisingly good.
Kane and Nathan exchanged glances, feeling something was off. "Damon, you're not really taking Chloe for granted, are you? It's almost noon, aren't you worried Chloe will go hungry?"
Chloe looked at him, finding his reaction today strange. Was he really planning to let her starve?
Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, the door to the room suddenly opened. Nathan quickly went to answer it. When he saw who was at the door, he was quite surprised. "You... What brings you here?"
"Move it. Blocking the door is not polite."
That voice...
Chloe turned her head just in time to see Elizabeth walk in through the door. She paused for a moment, then got up from the couch. "What are you doing here?"
Elizabeth quickly walked over to Chloe and gave her a big hug. "We missed you."
Chloe didn't say anything. They had just left a day ago. Sorry, but she didn't miss them.
Royce slowly walked over from behind, and Elizabeth took a bag from his hand and handed it to Chloe.
"Damon had asked me to make a dress for you. It was only finished last night, so I rushed it over here to avoid any delay."
Chloe was taken aback and took the bag, turning to give Damon a resentful look. He was just teasing her! Why was his behavior getting worse?
"I'm sorry you had to make a special trip."
Elizabeth laughed, "No trouble at all, I haven't been to H City in a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to have a look around. Also, this is a makeup kit that Rose asked me to bring for you. She said all the cosmetics in it are new products, absolutely safe, even for pregnant women. She's worried about the quality of other makeup, so she asked you to use this."
Chloe raised an eyebrow and accepted the makeup kit. Inside was a full set of skincare products, facial cleanser, makeup remover, eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, and more. Everything you could need.
Ensuring the absolute safety of skincare and makeup products had always been the top priority she had recommended to Spotlight Beauty. Rose had always agreed and adhered to it. Nowadays, there were many competing skincare and makeup brands, and if you wanted to guarantee product quality and safety, you would definitely have to invest more than other products. This was not something that ordinary companies can do for a long time.
But since Rose dared to let her use these things, it was enough to prove that she had never been negligent in this regard. With a policy of small profits and high sales, and winning with quality, Spotlight Beauty would surely succeed.
She gave a light sigh and gently stroked the makeup kit. It seemed like she could still stand beside Damon tonight, undistracted and at ease.
She didn't need to be particularly beautiful; rather, she wanted to present her best self when she stood next to Damon. She didn't want to be a flaw by his side, but instead, she wanted to be someone he could be proud of.
In every aspect, she wanted to excel.
“Alright, my task is done, shall we have lunch now?” Elizabeth clapped her hands cheerfully. She had refrained from even eating an in-flight meal on the plane, just so she could enjoy a hearty meal here.
There was nothing a good meal couldn't solve.
