"I want you!"
Those simple but profound words echoed once again. His voice was soft, but it carried a strong and domineering tone, hitting her heart directly.
Chloe's heart skipped a beat. She withdrew her hand and sat up straight.
Staring at the increasingly heavy rain outside the car window, she used all her strength to calm her racing heart.
The car interior was quiet, with rainwater gathering outside, streaming down the windows like a curtain, gradually blurring the view.
After a while, Chloe spoke softly.
"You're right, I should start over. Congrats, you're the… first man in my new life?"
Damon frowned.
"Change that. Not the first man, but the only one."
Chloe clenched her hands in front of her.
She thought for a moment, recalling his words from just moments ago, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat again.
"Damon… I can't trust you."
She seemed to struggle with her words, as if forcing herself. It wasn't that she didn't want to trust him, but she didn't want to face the same outcome again.
She had once believed in Lance without any hesitation, and eight years had passed without any doubt on her part. But what happened?
How could she trust a man she only met a few times? To gamble her life so easily?
She couldn't do it.
Escaping pain was human nature. If no one sheltered her from the storm, she'll protect herself, even if it meant being a hedgehog.
However, Damon just glanced at her and calmly said.
"That's my business."
Chloe looked up at him.
"How to make you trust me is my business."
