Chapter 54
“Alright, then, spill the beans – what exactly are you trying to explain?!”
Chloe responded without hesitation, her tone clearly revealing her impatience and anger.
So, a man kissed a woman and then said it was an accident. What’s up with that?!
Damon suddenly cooled down, lowering his gaze to look at her for a long time, “Why are you angry?”
I’m not!‘ Chloe turned her head away, her voice sounding a bit stiff.
A soft chuckle filled the air, “You’re definitely pissed off. What a sourpuss”
Chloe frowned slightly, turning to look at him. “Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Harper, since…”
Suddenly, pressure on her forehead stopped Chloe’s words mid sentence
Damon’s forehead was already pressed against hers, his breath spraying on her face, making Chloe’s heart pound RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“You know what I just confirmed?” Damon’s deep voice tickled Chloe slightly
Chloe didn’t speak, her gaze fixed on the open collar of Damon’s shirt, his pale skin was enticing
“Kissing you was irresistible. I even underestimated your effect on me. Chloe, I’m even more certain that whether you agree or not, I’m going to pursue you”
Chloe’s heart started racing, looking up at Damon, and a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, giving him a devilish charm he shouldn’t have
“And, compared to before, I find I like the real you even more
The blush on her face spread to her neck, Chloe felt her heart was about to burst from her chest, but she still stubbornly straightened her back, not daring to even look at him
… What do you mean, the real me? You saying I was fake before?”
“Of course not, it’s just that the real you might need some help getting dug up.”
His voice was deep and husky, carrying a hint of ambiguous temptation.
However, she was quite satisfied with his earlier explanation that the kiss was “an accident“.
… Are you still going to have lunch?” Unable to withstand his assertive allure, Chloe pushed against his chest..
Damon raised an eyebrow slightly, releasing her.
“Of course. That was why I came today.”
Although, he had gained something even more important than the main aim.
As Damon spoke, he rolled up his shirt sleeves, a move that took Chloe by surprise.
“You’re going to cook?”
“Is there a problem?”
Damon asked her with a smile as he turned around and headed for the kitchen.
“No, it’s just that I thought…” Chloe followed Damon into the kitchen, then watched him as he assessed the kitchen for a while.
Seeing Damon like this, a teasing glint flashed in Chloe’s eyes. Standing beside him, she looked up at him with a smile and continued her unfinished statement-
“Can you really cook?”
Damon hesitated for a moment, then looked down at her.
“There’s nothing I’ve wanted to do in this world that I haven’t been able to.”
The smile in Chloe’s eyes became more apparent, and she nodded compliantly.
“So, what are you planning to cook?”
Damon furrowed his brow, “Oxtail meatballs, cream corn soup, fried squid, tacos…”
His voice was calm as a pond, as if he was answering a simple question.
