Chapter 844
He was filled with quilt and regret Pulling Chloe into his arms, he gently rested his head on her forehead
“I’m sorry it’s all my fault”
He leaned down to kiss her quivering eyelashes, her eyelids, her cheeks, and finally her lips It was as if he was desperate to prove something to eam her forgiveness
Chloe let him do so, but gave no response She had no idea how to handle the situation
“I messed up You have every right to be angry You can hit me, okay? Just let it all out”
Chloe stayed silent for a while before finally speaking
“People say I’m too smart
They were so close that when Chloe looked up, he could see the helplessness in her eyes.
“So how could I be mad at you? I trust you and I know you did all this to fulfill your grandfather’s task. You were just trying to protect me. I know that.”
She wished she wasn’t so smart that she couldn’t see through everything But she knew everything, so even when he lied, she didn’t have the right to be angry.
For the first time. Damon was at a loss Whether she made a fuss or not, it didn’t feel right. He was the one who put her in this difficult situation.
“Im sorry Chloe” He didn’t know what else to say
It took Chloe a while to finally speak up
“Damon, remember when you said you loved me?”
He remembered her asking him to say that he loved her the night before. It seemed she had her reasons.
He nodded remember I love you”
Chloe squinted her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.
“I can handle it”
Just that simple sentence made Damon freeze for a moment.
Chloe looked up and gave Damon a faint smile.
“I can handle the love you give me, and the danger and pain that come with it.”
Damon’s eyes widened in alarm, his heart deeply shaken.
“Chloe”
Chloe put her fingers over his lips, shaking her head gently.
“Let me finish.” She paused and said calmly,
“If I’m only accepting your feelings, I won’t feel secure. You could leave me at any time for any reason, and I can’t keep you tied to me forever. So the only thing I can do is to return your feelings, even more so, to keep you always thinking of me, to make you unable to leave me in this lifetime..
“From the moment I chose to be with you, I never thought of backing down. I knew from the start, with my status, it wouldn’t be easy to be part of the Harper family. Not only could the elder Harpers oppose, but you… might oppose
too”
Damon’s eyes flickered, not denying Chloe’s words, just looking at her, his voice hoarse.
“From the start?”
Chloe nodded. “When I found out you were Damon. When I met Grandma.”
She shifted her gaze to the beautiful night view outside the car window. “Your grandpa must cares a lot about Grandma, so he let her live alone in P City…
Damon’s hand tightened, his lips pressed together. As Chloe spoke, she suddenly laughed, gently stroking her hair.
“Because he cares about her, he couldn’t let her stay by his side. He was afraid someone would hurt her, or use her to influence his decisions.”
She turned her gaze from the window back to Damon, looking him straight in the eye. And then she slowly said one word –
“Weakness.”
Damon’s eyes trembled.
“This is probably what all of you heirs of big families want to avoid… You never drink too much, and your food tastes are not singular. You’re not obsessed with anything. You don’t let people see your preferences… These habits aren’t formed overnight. You grew up in this environment, so how could you make the most fatal mistake now? You love me, so what you have to do is hide this ‘weakness and protect me to the fullest.”
Damon was shocked. She knew everything from the start. He knew she was smart, but he didn’t expect her to know so much while keeping quiet.
Chloe looked at his reaction and gave a small, calm smile.
“But, Damon, I love you. I can be your weakness, but I can also be your protection.”
She was his weakness and his protection.
Damon had never imagined that a woman would tell him something like this. She even wanted to protect him…
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
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...
