She pondered for a moment, then turned back to the large trash bag and picked up the other pair of men's slippers. She tossed them directly into the golden retriever's bed, one on each side.
Finally, she stroked the pup's head, "That should keep you busy, right?"
"Woof...woof..." The golden retriever barked a couple of times, then shifted its attention back to Morrison's slippers.
Rose chuckled, her hand paused in the middle of petting the pup. She walked back to the trash bag, grabbing a toothbrush, tooth mug, dishes and plates out of it.
She returned to the balcony, found a chair, and sat next to the dog bed. She used the toothbrush to brush the puppy's soft fur, placed the dishes and plates next to the dog bed, filled the mug with water, and poured it into a dish. She also poured a little milk into a plate.
"From now on, these will be your dining utensils. How do you like living with me? You'll behave yourself, right?"d2
"Woof."
"Good boy."
Once again, Rose rubbed the soft little fur, staring at it for a while. Suddenly, she said, "What should I name you? Something powerful that my son will be proud to call out."
She looked conflicted, her elbow resting on her knee, her palm supporting her chin, lost in thought. Finally, she pulled out her phone and directly dialed Chloe's video call.
It took a moment for Chloe to answer, lounging on some couch at home. As the call connected, Chloe's bare-faced expression still packed quite a punch.
Rose gasped, "Chloe, how does Damon keep you looking so good?"
Chloe shrugged, "I've always been like this."
"No, no, no, having a man around has definitely improved you. I never noticed how delicate you were before."
Chloe blushed at her words, "What's the reason for your sudden call?"
Rose grinned, "Have you picked names for your babies? Any nicknames?"
Rose saw Chloe glance to the side, squinting her eyes, "Chloe, is your husband by any chance near you?"
Chloe pursed her lips, tilting her phone slightly. Damon appeared on the screen, seemingly working at his desk. "I'm just keeping him company while he works."
Rose felt a pang in her heart, "Chloe, you two are so clingy."
Chloe chuckled awkwardly. Stanley had been popping by recently, nearly driving Damon mad. If she didn't perform well, who knows when Damon might have a fit and give her a hard time. It would be a real loss.
"Chop chop, the names."
Chloe turned to Damon, "What should we name the babies?"
Rose was getting impatient, "Let's start with the daughter."
After Damon listed a few names, Chloe was silent.
Rose: "God, can you take this man away?"
Such common names, they were downright vulgar. Wouldn't their daughter vomit if she heard her own nickname in the future?
Chloe's mouth twitched, clearly not satisfied with these names, "They sound too crude."
Damon frowned, "What's crude about them? What else would you use to describe her?"
Rose virtually reached through the screen to strangle Damon in a playful way.
Chloe blushed and chuckled, "Think of something else. Our daughter will be upset if she hears these names."
Damon raised an eyebrow, doodling with his pen for a while before finally breaking into a smile. "How about we call her Luna?"
Chloe's eyes lit up, "Luna?"
Damon nodded, "Yes, like a moon. Always by Chloe's side, Luna."
Chloe's eyes were full of stars, she nodded vigorously, "Yes, let's call our daughter Luna."
Rose rolled her eyes, even naming a child was a romantic event for them. Annoying.
"What about our son?" Chloe asked, looking forward to it. She obviously thought highly of Damon's naming skills.
Damon's face darkened, without any hesitation, he blurted out-- "Black Hole."
Chloe's smile froze on her face.
Rose too was stunned, then couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Black Hole! Black Hole? Hahaha... genius!"
Looking at Chloe's changing expression, Damon quickly amended, "Or we can call him Saturn."
"Ahahahaha... my god, Saturn! hahahaha." Rose couldn't stop laughing at these two names.
Damon, keeping a straight face, couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Chloe's phone, hanging up on Rose. "Annoying."
Chloe didn't argue, but she said nothing more, her lips tightly pressed together. Her expression seemed normal, but to Damon, she looked hurt.
He sighed, pulling her to sit beside him. "I was just joking. I'll name our daughter, and it's only fair if you name our son, right?"
Chloe looked at him thoughtfully, "I get to name him?"
"Yes, you do."
Chloe furrowed her brows, cupping her chin, deep in thought. "I need to think about what to name him."
Rose, still laughing after being hung up on, couldn't stop.
The golden retriever, gnawing on Morrison's slippers, was scared back into his bed by her laughter, looking at her with a terrified face, shivering.
It took a while for Rose to calm down, wiping away the tears from her laughter.
Damn. She almost laughed her head off.
Once she finally stopped laughing, Rose picked up the golden retriever from his bed. "Alright. I've decided, from now on your name is Moon, just like Luna, cool huh?"
After saying that, she chuckled, "If Chloe knew I gave her daughter's nickname to you, she'd probably skin me alive."
"But there's no helping it. In order to increase the chances of my son and Luna, I have to make him remember the name Moon from birth. Always saying 'Little Moon', making him unable to leave Luna for a lifetime, right? Chloe is so smart, beautiful, and excellent, Luna will be just wonderful, right?"
"Woof, woof, woof..."
