He didn't even give her the basic trust!
He never responded to her reliance on him, she endured the ridicule and sarcasm from others, bearing the slander for a whole six years.
"As long as you trust me, that's all that matters. Let's try to keep this low-key, I am your fiancée after all, if this blows up, it will affect your reputation!"
Back then, she chose not to pursue it, simply because she believed, he trusted her!
Even to protect his reputation, she ultimately chose to compromise herself.
He felt like his heart had been cut open, the pain was unbearable...
In Chloe's room, Nate stood solemnly at the door.
"Sir, this is all we could find for tonight. Because Old Mrs. Summers was involved in a bribe back then, plus the way the Summers family handled it was rather crude, most of the evidence has been erased, it's hard to get any now."
"I just need results." Damon's face was gloomy, his deep eyes were enough to intimidate anyone.
"Yes, sir."
Nate bowed slightly, showing utmost respect.
Chloe, with her arms crossed, stood by the window. Under the dim light, the tree shadows swayed, making everything seem eerily quiet.
She closed her eyes, suppressing the chill rising in her heart, swallowed the sour lump in her throat, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze was blurry, looking through the window into the darkness.
Someone wrapped their arms around her from behind, the cold embrace made her feel a warmth she had never felt before.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, the chill in her heart faded by half.
This person was her redemption in this life.
Chloe thought.
She just leaned on his chest, looking at the desolate night outside the window, feeling a sense of peaceful beauty.
"You have ten seconds to feel sad."
His low voice rang out from above her head, dominating and stingy.
The stiff and awkward comfort, showing a bit of helplessness, made Chloe chuckle.
"What?"
Damon's hand holding her tightened a bit.
The depression in her heart gradually disappeared, Chloe turned around in his arms, looking up at the handsome man who was much taller than her.
"Ten seconds is not enough to feel sad."
