After dinner, Chloe led Damon to the panoramic window in the living room.
She picked up a set of accessories she had previously bought from the nearby piano and handed it to Damon, "I've had these ready for a while now. This brooch, it's mine, and these cufflinks, they're yours. Both accessories are close to our heartbeats, one on my chest, one on your wrist."
Chloe opened the box, looking at the accessories lying quietly inside, a soft smile emerges on her face.
"Before, hearing things like this, I might not have cared. I might have thought I wasn't a romantic, or even that these things were childish. I used to think they weren't that important. What's really important in life is supporting each other, understanding each other, and being there for each other. These flashy things seemed unnecessary to me. They're just symbols, most of the time for showing off to others. But now. I really want to have all the beautiful things in the world and give them to you. Like the brooch, I want to hold your heart tight. Like these cufflinks, I want to know your heartbeat." After saying all this, Chloe paused for a moment, then laughed at herself. "Am I being too greedy?"
Taking a deep breath, she put the cufflinks back in the brocade box.
However, in that moment, Damon held onto her wrist tightly. Chloe looked up, her eyes filled with love and tenderness. Damon's heartbeat began to accelerate, feeling surprised and excited, "It took you long enough to say all that. I like your greed. You can be a little greedier."
Chloe's eyes trembled slightly, then she shook her head with a smile, "You'll get annoyed. I don't need to tie you down too tightly."
"I'm very rich." Damon blurted out, leaving Chloe a bit puzzled.
"What?" Chloe asked.
Damon looked down at her, "Rich men tend to go bad. I'm very rich, so you need to keep a closer eye on me."
