The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 397

As her agitation gradually subsided, she took a deep breath and popped the candy in her mouth.

His taste still lingered, unbelievably sweet...

After Damon finished showering, Chloe had already fallen asleep on the couch. Walking towards her, he saw her curled up and sleeping, it was heartbreaking.

These days, they would occasionally sleep together. Typically, in the latter half of the night when she was sound asleep, she would instinctively curl up, trying to make herself as small as possible.

A few times, he had to hold her tight to keep her from turning her back to him, and in the middle of the night, she would unconsciously snuggle into his arms.

At first, he was thrilled, but gradually, it saddened him. Because it was a sign of insecurity.

Such an independent and strong woman, yet alone in the night, she revealed her inner fragility and unease.

Her mother made an extreme choice right in front of her, her family never supported her, and Lance even chose to abandon her at the line between life and death. With contempt and misunderstanding, no one was on her side.

But she still persisted until now, facing it all alone, which was heartbreaking.

He bent down, picked her up, and gently put her on the soft bed, lying down with her.

She opened her eyes hazily, her eyes filled with clear wariness. Seeing Damon, her tense body instantly relaxed, she closed her eyes in relief and snuggled into his arms.

Damon smiled slightly, his eyes filled with deep affection.

He liked her trust like this. He always knew she was cautious of people, including him.

Sometimes her caution gave him a headache. Sometimes he felt her wariness of people was not so big, otherwise, how could she trust him so much?

Such a paradox!
