Chapter 1712
Queen Julia cast a cautious glance at Chloe, whose eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy that was rather
heartbreaking. “Seems like that he indeed knows how to win a woman’s heart.”
Chloe took a deep breath, and her expression seemed to have turned somewhat unpleasant.
Queen Julia, who had never been good at offering comfort, was at a loss seeing Chloe’s expression. “Well, I can tell
he is a good man, he’s probably not the type to flirt around. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship.”
Chloe managed a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes, “I know that.”
But knowing didn’t ease her worry Damon had a way with women, and she wasn’t the only one. This fact unsettled
her. At the thought that Damon might treat other women the same way he treated her, a feeling of suffocation and
unease welled up in her chest, even though she knew she shouldn’t feel like this.
Fiona once said that it was not good for a woman to be too understanding. It led to being overlooked and taken for
granted, which often resulted in men cheating. Despite Fiona being younger than her and not always offering the
best advice, Chloe had to agree on this one. After all, her ex, Lance, was a perfect example of a man who took
advantage of her understanding nature.
Hmph Was she a magnet that attracted jerks?e2
Queen Julia opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words. It was a sensitive topic, and she felt like no matter
what she said, she might say something wrong. The atmosphere turned awkward, fortunately, Lea soon walked in.
No. It would be more accurate to say she ran in
She had been by Queen Julia’s side for decades and was no longer young. Seeing her hobble in, Queen Julia and

down her face.
“Your Majesty…”
Lea’s voice was filled with grief and an indescribable emotion, “Your Majesty… Princess… she…”
Queen Julia had never seen Lea so distraught before. She bent down to support her by the arm and softly asked,
“Lea, what
happened?”
Lea shook her head then nodded. “The princess, she has returned.”
Chloe frowned Ava? Barbara? Becky? But would their return cause Lea to be so upset?
However, Queen Julia stared at Lea for a few moments, then suddenly grabbed her hand, her voice trembling as
she asked, “You… you’re talking about… her…” She hesitated to say the name. After so many years of
disappointment, the pain of broken hopes was too hard to bear.
Lea nodded vigorously, “Yes, it’s….
Queen Julia staggered a couple of steps, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked towards the greenhouse’s
entrance, her grip on Lea’s hand trembling. Chloe, too, had now realized who they were talking about, and she
watched the entrance in stunned
silence
Queen Julia slowly placed her hand over her heart, as if to calm her racing heartbeat. She bit her lip, her gaze fixed
on the entrance, filled with a desperate hope, as if she were waiting for a salvation.
Finally, the curtain at the greenhouse’s entrance was pulled back, and two figures slowly came into view.
Damon’s tall and imposing figure was the first to catch the eye, but a second later, when the woman he was
holding appeared, the greenhouse fell into an eerie silence.
Not a sound could be heard. Even the sound of breathing.
Yasmine, with Damon’s large hand gripping her arm, walked with a slightly stiff and strained posture.
Damon’s gaze fell on Chloe the moment he entered His dark eyes held a hint of resentment, but Chloe didn’t
notice.
Damon pursed his lips. Although the situation wasn’t ideal, he couldn’t help but feel slighted. He had brought her
mother here Didn’t she at least owe him a look of admiration?
At that moment, Yasmine’s attention was focused solely on Queen Julia Her lips moved for a long time, but no
sound came out. The word she had hardly ever uttered felt so foreign that she struggled to speak it. Only heaven
knew how much that one call
meant to her.
For the first time, Chloe saw her mother appear so anxious and flustered. She could probably understand why her
mother was
acting like this, but she couldn’t truly empathize.
Queen Julia’s grip on Lea’s hand was so tight it was almost bone–crushing, but Lea bit her lip and didn’t utter a
sound. Tears silently streamed down her face. No one in the world understood Queen Julia better than she did, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmno one knew how thrilled the Queen must be feeling at that moment. This was a scene she had dreamed of
countless times.
Queen Julia’s toes moved slightly, but as she took a step, she stumbled and almost fell. Chloe and Lea rushed to
support her.
Yasmine, standing at the entrance, also took a step forward, but a pang of pain made her furrow her eyebrows. Yet,
she didn’t stop Noticing her intention, Damon helped her walk towards Queen Julia.
When they were in front of Queen Julia, Yasmine gently pushed Damon away and stood alone in front of the Queen.
Queen Julia’s gaze roamed greedily over Yasmine’s face, her expression betraying her uncontrollable emotions.
“Yas. Her hoarse voice barely managed to utter a word before being choked by a surge of emotion.
Yasmine nodded, tears welled up in her eyes, “It’s me, mother.”
“Mother” that word made Queen Julia take a deep breath, walking forward and reaching out her trembling hand to
stroke
Yasmine’s face. Thank heavens you’re alive.”
Yasmine bit her lip as tears fell.
Queen Julia wiped away her tears as they fell, finally opening her arms to pull her into a warm embrace. The
tangible sensation made Queen Julia close her eyes tightly, her hand gently stroking Yasmine’s hair, her voice filled
with boundless sorrow. “My child, my dear child
Reunions didn’t always require a lot of words. Sometimes, a simple call to each other can be more powerful than
the most eloquent speeches in the world.
Chloe’s eyes began to sting, so she turned her gaze away. She was never comfortable with these emotional scenes.
She had been crying a lot recently.
Damon silently walked up to her, lightly cupped her head with his hand, and pulled her into his arms.
