Chloe was totally shocked, blinked her eyes gently, and finally couldn't help but laugh.
Chloe said, "Sorry, it's definitely my bad."
Damon looked at her bright smile, and his eyes flashed with tenderness. "What are you laughing at?"
Chloe said, "It seems I really don't know you well. I never expected that someone as elegant and low-key as you could say something like that. It really doesn't match your appearance."
Damon said, "You're right, as long as you understand what I'm saying, there's no problem.
But, Miss Chloe, everything has its essential attributes and superficial attributes. Essential attributes usually remain unchanged, while superficial attributes change with conditions. So, if you only look at the superficial attributes of things, you won't see their true nature.
Speaking of people, it's like 'Don't judge a book by its cover!' Are you sure you only judge people by their appearance?"
Chloe's laughter gradually faded and became cold.
Of course she couldn't!
One Keira was enough to teach her a lifetime of lessons about society and human nature!
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Chloe said, "So, Mr. Harper, we're really not a good fit. I don't know you well, I can't even see through your superficial attributes, let alone your essential attributes.
And I just broke up with my boyfriend a few minutes ago, I haven't even recovered from it, and you want me to jump into another relationship immediately, I'm afraid I can't handle it, and it'll be disrespectful to you.”
Damon said, "I didn't expect you to agree now. You asked me the purpose, and I answered your question. Deciding to pursue you is my business, and I don't like others influencing my decisions."
Damon seemed to be waiting for Chloe to adapt, and then spoke lightly after a moment,
"Of course, whether or not to reject is your business. But, I reject your rejection!"
Chloe didn’t say anything.
Damon said, "I welcome Miss Chloe to examine my essential attributes at any time!"
Chloe was completely stunned, watching Damon leave without saying a word.
