"Damon, I don't want to have a falling out with you over something unfounded. Let's just drop it, okay?"
"Alright. I won't bring it up again."
Damon hid the gloom in his eyes.
He responded to Chloe's words without any hesitation, and a gentle kiss landed on her hair.
He wouldn't bring it up again.
Even if that child really was Seth's, it was his business.
Just because of a child who had nothing to do with him, he actually made this woman so upset.
Naturally, Damon wouldn't meddle in other people's affairs anymore.
The matter about Hugo came to an end, and neither Damon nor Chloe mentioned it again.
The car started again, and Chloe suggested going to the supermarket to buy groceries.
"Let's skip it today," Damon suddenly said.
"Why? It's a rare weekend."
"You're upset. I don't deserve to eat the food you make."
Damon's tone was somewhat cautious.
Chloe's nose suddenly felt a bit sour.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything, a
fraid that once she spoke, it would expose her vulnerability.

Back at Emerald Valley Estates, Damon took Chloe to the door.
"Go get some rest."
"Yeah, you too." Chloe nodded, without any hesitation. She looked a bit dispirited as she opened the door and went inside.
Damon's tall figure just stood there, looking down at the woman's slightly tired but still beautiful face.
When Chloe closed the door, she turned around, caught a glimpse of his expression, and gave him a slight smile. "You go first. I'll call you if I need anything."
Damon nodded, and his deep voice softly uttered, "Okay."
