Chapter 1683
Chloe didn't know what to say. She held the dress up uncertainly to him for confirmation. "Are you sure you want me to wear this to the Duke's granddaughter’s birthday banquet?"
Damon nodded without changing his expression, his tone very affirmative. "Mm. It suits you."
Chloe turned to leave, but Damon caught her wrist. “Where do you think you're going?"
"I prefer the one grandma gave me. Let go of me." Her words only made Damon tighten his grip, finally pulling her into his arms. “You can't wear that. It's too thin for the cold weather right now."
"But the banquet is indoors. and this dress..." Chloe sighed helplessly, "Il can tell Grandma places great importance on Duke Dubonnet, and there will be many important people there. Isn't this dress a bit too casual for the royal family's image?"
The significance of clothing and jewelry now was not merely for warmth and cleanliness. It represented status, a symbol of the royal family's dignity. The dress in front of her, although expensive and of top quality, was too simple for tomorrow night's banquet, wasn't it?
"You're just lacking confidence in yourself." Damon spoke lightly, twirling her hair, his eyes downcast, looking straight at her face. “You look good in anything."
Chloe glanced doubtfully at her figure. There were plenty of women with better figures than hers. Looking good in anything was something that would typically come out of a smooth-talking man's mouth. It was hardly credible. Especially since her belly was slightly protruding now, looking good in anything was simply not possible.
Chloe's puzzlement was all seen by Damon, and his attitude became more assertive. "Don't like this one? You can pick another one from over here."
He pulled her over to the wardrobe he had just chosen from. Chloe glanced at it briefly then looked back at Damon.
“Are you serious?"
Damon raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I bought them just for show?"
Chloe sighed. She looked back at the clothes, wondering if Damon had bought them as maternity wear for her.
These oversized, loose-fitting clothes were so different from his usual taste.
In the end, she failed to alter Damon's uncompromising attitude. She still chose the dress he initially picked out for her.
Chloe called Queen Julia to inform her about the dress situation, and promptly told her about the role that Damon played in it.
Queen Julia just smiled warmly, "That's alright, I'm sure the dress Mr. Harper prepared for you is just as beautiful as the one I picked."
Chloe hesitated, then chuckled awkwardly, *....Ah... Uh... it's nice."
What else could she say?
"I'll send a car to pick you up from the hotel tomorrow afternoon. He won't fight me on this, will he?"
Chloe shook her head, “He won't."
"Good."
When Queen Julia's emotions had somewhat stabilized, Ava raised her hand, lightly knocking on the door before entering.
Queen Julia's eyes were still red, and Ava was surprised to see her like this. "Mother, what happened?"
Queen Julia looked at her, her eyes cold. “Do you need something?"
"No, I just wanted to keep you company."
Julia frowned, "If nothing's wrong, I'd rather you tend to your husband, Ava. That's where you truly belong."
It was because of Ava’s companionship that Queen Julia had chosen Ava for her nephew. But within a few years, her nephew had brazenly betrayed her.
Queen Julia felt somewhat guilty about this, and several times Ava had cried in front of her just to deepen her guilt. Even when her nephew had expressed his desire to bring his mistress home, Julia had firmly rejected him.
But now thinking about it, he had lived with Ava for years, and no one knew her better than him. Why would he rather live with other women all year round, even ignoring the feelings of his two daughters, than stay home?
Her nephew, she knew him well enough to know that he would never have done something so out of line unless he was pushed to the limit.
Now that she thought about it, perhaps Ava wasn't as benign and kind as she appeared on the surface.
At these words, Ava's expression froze instantly. Her husband was where she truly belonged? Did this mean to completely separate her from the royal family?

J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
