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. c2
“But the banquet is indoors and this dress Chloe sighed helplessly. I 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChloe’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 Damans 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?
T’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”
Queen Julia murmured in response, falling silent for a moment before speaking again, “Chloe, I am your
grandmother, we are bonded by blood, and I love you and your mother very much. So remember, grandma is part
of your family, okay? Don’t think about leaving anymore. It took me so long to find you know you’re an excellent
child, and I trust you completely, so go ahead and do what you need to do You don’t have to worry about anything
Chloe furrowed her brows, sensing an underlying message in Queen Julia’s words Thinking back to the conversation
they had yesterday, everything feill into place. “I may have said something that I shouldn’t have yesterday, but I
never intended to cut ties with you. My mother misses you a lot and is trying to be in the best state to see you. We
won’t leave you anymore. Please rest assured”
Queen Julia’s tense expression gradually relaxed “That’s good, get some rest now, and I’ll send a car to pick you up
at seven tomorrow evening.‘
“Yeah”
After hanging up the phone. Lea took the receiver and placed it back down. She looked at Queen Julia, who was
sitting on the chair Although her expression had relaxed, it was filled with more heartache and sadness
She was taken aback, she should have just heard Chloe’s assurance that they wouldn’t leave her, so why was her
expression suddenly like this? “Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”
Queen Julia bit her lip, her hands clutching her chest, the strong woman was now on the verge of tears Lea had
only seen this stale when the Queen was missing her daughter
“Chipe said her mother is trying to see me Lea. I owe her so much if i had protected her properly, she wouldn’t
have had to suffer”
Lea comforted her. This is everyone’s fate Without these things, you wouldn’t have your little princess now.
Queen Julia nodded, currently in a very conflicted state
Heartache, guilt, yet also relief mixed in her heart
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment. Ava was standing quietly at their door, listening to their conversation. She was looking down, lost in
thought.
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
Chapter 1683
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?
