CHAPTER 1760

Damon gently pecked her nose, his dark eyes quietly focused on her

Chloe blinked her eyes lightly, her hands scaling his shoulders, pushing herself into his warm, broad chest, and fondly returning his kiss on his chin. ‘Sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken about him that way I know it’s disrespectful to our elders, but I thought it might cheer you up.”

Despite the strangeness of this statement, it was clear that Damon was in high spirits, sensing Chloe’s obvious displeasure with Presley

Because he was dissatisfied with Presley, and he felt she should join him in his discontent

In this matter, from the beginning to the end. Damon didn’t have the right to be angry with Chloe c2

Moreover, even if he was angry, he couldn’t do anything about it

But some lingering emotions made him nibble on Chloe’s lips in a somewhat sullen manner, before he let her go and began to help her out of her pink cotton coat.

Chloe obediently allowed him to attend to her. So much so that she ended up naked, carried into the bathroom.

Lying in the bathtub, she gazed at her slightly protruding belly and tenderly stroked it. Then she looked up at Damon and asked calmly, “Didn’t you promise to get me a dress? The Global Economic Summit is tomorrow night Where’s my dress?”

Damon’s big hand also rested on her stomach, gently caressing it, feeling the curve of her belly.

A comer of his mouth lifted in a smirk.

“You can wear a down jacket

Chloe’s bored eyes suddenly blinked, looking at him in surprise A down jacket? Like the bulky one I wore today? I’ll be the laughing stock of the Global Economic Summit dressed like that I don’t want to be a chubby bunny anymore.”

Damon chuckled lightly, “You’re carrying my babies now. No one will laugh at you”

Chloe shook her head. “I don’t want to. This might be my last banquet for several months

“But with your current belly, I don’t think there’s a suitable dress for you.”

Chloe pursed her lips tightly, her brows furrowed, her face looking rather displeased. “I never thought you d break your promise”

“Your health is important night now. Beauty can be put aside.”

Chloe shot him a particularly resentful look

“Hmm? Are you really that angry?”

Damon was always curious about Chloe’s little temper tantrums during her pregnancy, so sometimes he couldn’t help but poke fun at her

Sure enough she never disappointed him.

After the bath, Chloe was carried out of the bathroom by Damon She stubbornly went through their suitcases for a while, but indeed didn’t find the dress Damon had promised her Finally, she crawled back into bed sullenly, pulling the blanket over her.

Seeing this, Damon couldn’t help but chuckle, both indulgent and helpless How could this woman be so adorable?

He climbed into the bed, pulling her into his arms despite her sulking. “Still angry?”

“I don’t want to talk to people who break their promises”

“Heh” Damon chuckled softly.

Her mood lasted until the next day at noon

At this time, Nathan and Kane were trying to convince Chloe to go out for food, but Chloe remained silent and unresponsive.

“Damon, what did you do to upset Chloe? Look at her, she’s on a hunger strike.”

“I think you’re getting too cocky. Now that Chloe’s pregnant, do you think you’ve got nothing to fear?”

Hearing both of them siding with her cheered Chloe up a lot.

Damon sat there impassively, regardless of what they said, his temper was surprisingly good

Kane and Nathan exchanged glances, feeling something was off. “Damon, you’re not really taking Chloe for granted, are you? It’s almost noon, aren’t you wormed Chloe will go hungry?

Chloe looked at him, finding his reaction today strange. Was he really planning to let her starve?

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, the door to the room suddenly opened. Nathan quickly went to answer it. When he saw who was at the door, he was quite surprised “You What brings you here?”

“Move it. Blocking the door is not polite

That voice

Chloe turned her head just in time to see Elizabeth walk in through the door She paused for a moment, then got up from the couch “What are you doing here?”

Elizabeth quickly walked over to Chloe and gave her a big hug “We missed you

Chloe didn’t say anything. They had just left a day ago Sorry, but she didn’t miss them

Royce slowly walked over from behind, and Elizabeth took a bag from his hand and handed it to Chloe

“Damon had asked me to make a dress for you. It was only finished last night, so I rushed it over here to avoid any delay”

Chloe was taken aback and took the bag, turning to give Damon a resentful look. He was just teasing her! Why was his behavior getting

“I’m sorry you had to make a special trip”

Elizabeth laughed, “No trouble at all, I haven’t been to H City in a long time. It’s a good opportunity for me to have a look around. Also, this is a makeup hit that Ro Content © 2024.

Ime to bring for you. She said all the cosmetics in it are new products, absolutely safe, even for pregnant women. She’s worried about the quality of other hakeup, so she asked you to use this

Chloe raised an eyebrow and accepted the makeup kit Inside was a full set of skincare products, facial cleanser, makeup remover, eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, and more Everything you could need

Ensuring the absolute safety of skincare and makeup products had always been the top priority she had recommended to Spotlight Beauty. Rose had always agreed and adhered to it. Nowadays, there were many competing skincare and makeup brands, and if you wanted to guarantee product quality and safety, you would definitely have to invest more than other products. This was not something that ordinary companies can do for a long time

But since Rose dared to let her use these things, it was enough to prove that she had never been negligent in this regard. With a policy of small profits and high sales, and winning with quality, Spotlight Beauty would surely succeed

She gave a light sigh and gently stroked the makeup kit. It seemed like she could still stand beside Damon tonight undistracted and at ease

She didn’t need to be particularly beautiful, rather, she wanted to present her best self when she stood next to Damon. She didn’t want to be a flaw by his side, but

instead, she wanted to be someone he could be proud of

In every aspect, she wanted to excel

“Alright, my task is done, shall we have lunch now?” Elizabeth clapped her hands cheerfully. She had refrained from even eating an in–flight meal on the plane, just so she could enjoy a hearty meal here

There was nothing a good meal couldn’t solve

At this moment, Damon also rose from his seat, approached Chloe, and gently put his arm around her waist “Let’s go, I’ve reserved a table

Chloe looked up at him, deeply moved. It turned out that he had already made arrangements

With a loud cheer from Kane and Nathan, the group of people headed straight for their destination.

By five in the evening, the makeup artist arranged by Damon was already waiting in the makeup room.

At past six, with her makeup done, Chloe returned to her room to meet Damon and head to the Global Economic Summit together.

At this moment, Damon, dressed in an expensive black suit, was standing by the floor–to–ceiling window of the hotel, making a phone call. His low voice echoed

calmly in the room

The sky outside the window had already darkened, and the floor–to–ceiling window in front of Damon now seemed like a large mirror

As Chloe approached from behind, holding the hem of her dress, he was still on the phone giving instructions, but his dark eyes were fixed on her figure, unblinking. When the slender figure got closer, he naturally ended the call, put down the phone, and then slowly turned around.

His deep dark eyes fell directly onto her, and the slow smile that spread across his lips made Chloe inexplicably nervous.

Chloe was now dressed in a red vintage chiffon embroidered dress. With a small stand collar featuring a detailed V design, her neck was half–hidden, half–visible. On either side of the collar were embroidered golden blossoms

in front of her a colourful phoenix was surrounded by floral patterns, and the loose hem was a lace imprint of a phoenix tail.

Her slightly bulging belly was not deliberately covered, and the slight bump made her original slender waist more noticeable

Her long hair was styled into delicate natural curls, and her brows and eyes were carefully drawn. The lipstick on her lips matched the colour of her gown.

Today’s Chloe was probably the most glamorous she had ever been. With her crimson retro lipstick and a powerful aura, together with her dress, she looked like a blazing fire that was constantly jumping and heating up. full of passion

He had always said that she was a captivating woman. He had never lied. Even when she was pregnant, she was still so enticing

Damon’s burning gaze made Chloe’s hand, which was holding her dress, tighten slightly. Her breathing and the rhythm of her heart in her chest were somewhat disrupted She stopped her steps not far from Damon, not daring to go any further

However, Damon gradually approached her, finally standing in front of her, looking down at her. The flicker of fire in his eyes made Chloe bite her lip slightly. “Don’t look at me like that.”

“Why?”

Chloe’s eyes flickered, “It makes me uncomfortable.”

“Uh–huh “Damon responded lightly. “You’re deliberately trying to seduce me. That’s why you feel uncomfortable.”

Chloe didn’t say anything

“Or maybe

Damen wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his arms. He pointed to her heart and whispered. “You have other thoughts here.”

Chloe’s face suddenly turned red

Seeing this, Damon laughed softly. “As I thought ”

Chloe stepped back a bit. “Stop fooling around, We have to go to the summit soon

Damon nodded, “We still have some time” As he spoke, his large hand had already moved from her waist

Chloe’s body trembled slightly, looking at the fiery red shadow in his eyes, which seemed to be filled with her reflection, and seemed to be something else.

Just looking into his eyes made her feel inexplicably weak. She turned her head away, ashamed to let the man see through her curent condition.

“Instead of trying to hide yourself, why not be a little honest, huh?”

Her chin was hooked back by the man, who was smiling at her

Chipe knew that her thoughts had been seen through, and she was embarrassed. “Stop it.”

Daman leaned close to her ear, “Mrs. Harper, you may have a natural talent for seducing me. I now want to

His voice got lower and lower, but Chloe stopped his lips that were pressing down After a while, she whispered, “I just put on lipstick.”

11:49

Demon chuckled, his hand already exploring the zipper on her back. Chloe’s eyes fluttered, and she slowly wrapped her arms around Damon’s neck, leaning her body into his embrace “Be careful Don’t ruin the dress

This indirect consent made Damon’s body tense slightly. Not daring to put too much force on the woman in his arms, he pushed her against the wall, igniting a fire on her body, and finally gently possessed her

When Damon called the makeup artists to do Chloe’s makeup again, the expressions on the makeup artists faces made Chloe wish she could find a hole to crawl into. The blush on her cheeks saved the makeup artists from re–applying blush

When they were ready again, Nate notified them to prepare to go to the Global Economic Summit venue

Damon helped her put on her coat and went downstairs. Chloe’s legs were still a bit weak Fortunately, Damon was holding her, bearing almost all of her weight.

On the way to the venue, she had a little time to rest

Those international fashion gatherings or award ceremonies were incomparable to the Global Economic Summit in terms of influence

The world’s top hundred companies were each wealthy enough to rival a country. These capitalists not only held absolute positions in international companies, but also held an absolutely not to be underestimated value and power between countries

Any one of them could be a concern for any country, because they were the wealthiest, most capable, and wisest people in the world

In the eyes of the country, money equaled weapons and equipment, which meant a country’s absolute basic inviolability

Outside the largest international exhibition center in H City, the scene was now illuminated with bright lights. The area was fully adorned with a red carpet. surrounded by armed personnel holding long rifles, all poised and solemn, responsibly ensuring the security of the surroundings.

The people here were high–profile figures, their worth astronomical. They were of significant importance to their respective counties, and any mishap in H City could lead to severe diplomatic issues

In the periphery, journalists in smart suits were lined up, cameras in hand, capturing every precious moment as figures stepped onto the red carpet As reporters who had covered the Global Economic Summit multiple times, they were well acquainted with the people gracing the red carpet. Almost every year, the same few corporations attended the Global Economic Summit almost every year These faces were no longer a surprise to the journalists.

Their consistent enthusiasm and the global attention they attracted were due to the significant decisions that were made at the Summit, decisions that could affect the direction of entire nations and even the world, including collaborations, conflicts, and any other potential interactions.

However this year, apart from the usual, there were two events that were causing a buzz

For instance, tonight would see the debut of the top executive from Obsidian Group, a leading international company, at the Global Economic Summit

Another point of interest was the internal strife within the Harper Group, a renowned enterprise second only to the Obsidian Group

Presley would personally attend the Summit His grandson, a figure known mostly by reputation and not by sight internationally, would also make an appearance. It was not clear what would happen when the grandfather and grandson met at that time

Moreover, it remained to be seen what kind of interactions would take place between the Harper Group and the Obsidian Group
