Talking about their childhood, Elizabeth seemed super into it, laughing her head off.
Chloe watched her, a gentle feeling growing inside. Ignoring Wendy's intentional provocation, mentioning a past she wasn't part of, Chloe had to admit, the topic did strike a chord.
In this world, in the eyes of every woman, there was nothing more important than their husbands and children.
Wendy sure knew how to pick a topic, no wonder Elizabeth didn't have a beef with her.
"What did Damon say?" Wendy asked curiously, even Nathan was all ears.
"Damon said, Nathan got less cute as he grew up. Not as soft and chubby as before. He was angry because Nathan didn't grow up well, but got worse instead, looking like he needed a good thrashing..."
As soon as Elizabeth finished speaking, the living room fell silent. Then Wendy started chuckling. She glanced at Damon and smiled sweetly.
"Who would've thought... such a cute reason..."
Damon scowled, his face impassive.
Nathan, on the other hand, looked like he'd been hit by a bolt of lightning.
"What?! I got worse as I grew up? Who said that, who said I got worse?! I'm handsome and charming now, a total heartthrob, where did I go wrong?!"
Though it sounded like he was blowing his own trumpet, he was speaking the truth. The Harper family's genes couldn't possibly make someone look bad, could they?
Nathan pointed to his handsome face, turning to a maid, "Did I turn out bad?"
The young maid blushed instantly, shaking her head hurriedly.
Nathan then looked at Wendy, asking, "Am I ugly now?"
Wendy shook her head slightly, "You're handsome."
Nathan then turned to his mother, with a face full of grievance and anticipation.
Elizabeth nodded, "Yes, you're not as cute as you were when you were little, but you're still excellent."
Nathan's face darkened a bit, he turned to Chloe, putting all his hope on her.
"Chloe..."
Chloe smiled gently, "Yes, you're very attractive now."
Nathan's eyes started to sparkle, but Chloe's next words sent him crashing down.
"But you're definitely not as cute as when you were little."
Wendy smiled, "So many years have passed. It's quite a shame not to have some memories. After all these years, I can't even remember what Damon and Nathan looked like when they were kids."
Elizabeth just gave a faint smile, saying nothing.
Nathan was still wallowing in his own world of sorrow, looking at Chloe with trembling lips, "You... you didn't even see me when I was a kid..."
Chloe rolled her eyes, so he was still hung up on that. She replied, "I did see you."
"Really?" Nathan asked, puzzled.
Damon also turned to her, "Did you see him?"
Wendy frowned slightly, then gave a soft chuckle, "Did we meet you when we were little? I'm sorry, I don't quite remember when?"
