Damon cracked a smile, gently rubbed her head, and then pulled her into his embrace.
Chloe had already taken a nap on the plane, so she wasn't the slightest bit sleepy when they got home. She turned her head to gaze at Damon, who had already fallen asleep next to her. Soft affection gradually surfaced in her eyes.
Recalling how he had waited for her at the airport, it instantly filled her heart with a warm sense of contentment.
His trust, thoughtfulness, and affection for her made her feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
She was a bit scared. She felt like no matter what she did, she could never reciprocate his feelings for her.
She slightly lifted her head and leaned towards him. His handsome face stirred her heart.
Chloe extended her finger, inches away from his face, and traced his profound and perfect features in the air.
She swore she would never go through that kind of training again. She wouldn't do anything that could possibly make her forget him.
Slowly she leaned in, her soft breath brushing against his face.
"I love you."
After saying this, her face flushed a little, giving his lips a light peck. Then she gave a giggle, nestling herself into his embrace.
She found a comfy position in his arms, draping her slender arm over his waist. The corners of Damon's lips twitched upwards slightly. He lowered his head, inhaling her faint fragrance, his arms naturally holding her tight.
In the morning, Damon didn't rise early to go to the company as usual. Instead, he had Nate push all his schedules back a day. Damon's recent occasional absences made Nate think women truly were dangerous creatures.
Eventually, Chloe unknowingly dozed off lying in Damon's arms. When Damon got up to wash up, she also opened her eyes.
She got out of bed and moved toward the window. Chloe pulled back the curtain and peered outside at the serene lake and lush trees. She then gently pinched her nose bridge and sighed.
Outdoors was bathed in bright sunshine. The sky seemed bluer than before, and the willows by the lake gently swayed in the wind.
"Weren't you asleep?"
Damon's deep voice came from behind her, followed by a fresh scent closing in on her. His arms slightly circled her, pulling her into his embrace.
She turned around, looking up at him.
