Chapter 105
“So, after seeing Lance at the Summers’y home, you turned yourself into a hot mess, huh?”
Chloe responded nonchalantly, “I just got soaked in the rain…”
Damon spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion, “So you’re saying… you got abused when you went
home?”
Chloe thought about everything that went down when she went home today. It might sound mundane,
but upon reflection, it all felt incredibly ironic.
Perhaps it was the sickness that made her feel vulnerable, or maybe it was the rarity of someone
caring for her like this, she stared at the deep moonlight outside, a sense of desolation
washing over her.
“I did some stupid things again when I went home today… I always thought that no matter how
indifferent we are, we’re still family and tied by blood.”

Chloe’s face was filled with naked irony and sorrow. She said a lot but didn’t mention Lance.
He thought it was the affectionate interaction between Lance and Keira that stirred her, making her feel
sad because she couldn’t let go of Lance.
But that wasn’t the case.
It was all for that cold familial love.
From the company to here, the anger he had been accumulating along the way dissipated at this
moment.
However, seeing the sadness that clouded her face, his heart tightened slightly.
He turned her face back towards him.
He could now see the stubbornness in her eyes more clearly.
In this world, not all familial bonds are pure, especially when faced with benefits, honor, and power, it’s
like family ties have a price tag.”
Chloe bitterly smiled. That was true.
In the beginning, the Summers family abandoned her mother, who didn’t have power or influence and
couldn’t bring any benefits to them, and let the prestigious Viviana take over. “Smart people wouldn’t
want to be this sacrificial lamb.”
Damon finished and looked at her quietly.
Chloe shook her head, “Neither would I.”
Damon chuckled lightly, leaning down to plant a kiss on her warm forehead..
“Neither would I… I wouldn’t let you be sacrificed by anyone either.”
Chloe’s eyelashes fluttered as she turned her head to the side, “Stay away from me.”
“Why have you been avoiding talking to me from the start?” Damon turned Chloe’s face towards him
again.
Chloe’s hand pressed against his shoulder, the heat from their close proximity making her skin hot.

“I’m sick, I don’t want to get you infected.”
Damon’s grip on her chin tightened.
“So, from the start, you’ve been rejecting me because you’re worried about getting me sick?”
“No.” Chloe’s gaze shifted away.
“You’re lying!”
Damon bent down and fiercely captured Chloe’s lips in a kiss.
He pried her lips open and kissed her deeply.
Chloe’s eyes widened.
She never thought that a man like Damon would kiss her in such a passionate and unrestrained way.
His kiss was so powerful that she couldn’t resist. She struggled to push him away.
However, she was too weak, n
ot until Chloe was almost failing to breathe did Damon begrudgingly let her go.
“Even though I hate being sick, if it’s an infection from you, I’d actually be quite pleased.”
*…” Chloe’s eyes were shining; her gaze was dazed.
“Will you be my woman?”
