Chloe Summers‘ brow twitched slightly, and suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Katie’s chin.
“Don’t…” Katie was obviously scared, and the words she spoke came out in a weak voice, like the buzz
of a mosquito.
James was following behind Presley Harper, standing at the staircase entrance, watching the two of
them.
Seeing Chloe’s cold, domineering demeanor, Presley’s eyes looked indifferent and calm. James, on the
other hand, was deeply shocked. Even though it was a small gesture, Chloe’s aura felt like it was
flowing from her very bones.
Presley’s wife and the lady who was coming back tomorrow, just the two of them had their own unique
traits. In some respects, they were even matchless. Now looking at Chloe, although they hadn’t been
together for a long time, the Larkin family’s matters were enough to prove she was a smart woman.
This woman, other than being from a poor family, was quite good otherwise,.
Chloe completely ignored Katie’s panic and unease, tightly holding her chin and forcefully lifting up her
downcast face.
The sight before her caused Chloe’s cold eyes to instantly brighten. She moved aside the hair on
Katie’s forehead, and an irregular birthmark in the center of her forehead immediately caught her eye.
Chloe lifted her other hand and gently touched the birthmark on Katie’s forehead, a trace of interest
slowly rising on her face.
Katie’s face was full of panic, her eyes filled with fear and pleading. “Don’t… Don’t look…”
However, the hand on her chin didn’t release its grip.
Feeling the cool fingertips lightly tracing her birthmark, Katie wished she could find a place to hide. Her
body involuntarily trembled, the harsh laughter and mocking voices echoing in her ears.
“Ugly!”
“Disgusting!”
“I heard it’s a birthmark. My mom said my birthmark is on my butt. Hers is on her face, how…”
“Fuck off, don’t bother me!”
From childhood to adulthood, wherever she went, she would become the laughing stock. She had no
friends. Even her family was indifferent to her. No one cared.
She read, studied, and even did more things on her own, there were so many things she wanted to do,
but they were all held
back because of this birthmark.
If it weren’t for Presley calling her over, she would never go out.
Unexpectedly, this woman, from the very beginning, directly uncovered her “wound“.
“Beautiful.”
Chloe’s words brought different expressions to the faces of those in the room. Katie’s body stiffened
even more, and she looked at Chloe in disbelief.
“You… what did you say?”
She said… beautiful?
Chloe’s eyes shimmered with a strange light. Hearing Katie’s voice of disbelief, she lowered her eyes,
her bright eyes sweeping over the woman’s face.
Untouched by makeup, her skin was glowing and smooth. Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful,
devoid of any hostile emotions, displaying gentleness, grace, as well as a hint of shyness and surprise.
Chloe gave a slight smile, looking straight into her eyes, and asked, “Do you think it’s ugly?”
She said, placing her finger on her birthmark.
Katie’s eyes flickered, and after a moment, she gave a somewhat sorrowful smile, “Don’t comfort me.
Do you think it’s beautiful? You won’t understand. From childhood to adulthood, the kind of life I’ve lived
because of it. No one has ever accepted it, not even the people closest to me. Your kindness feels too
forced…”
Hearing Katie’s words, Chloe felt warmth in her heart. She no longer felt Katie’s lack of self–confidence
was due to her own inadequacy. On the contrary, she might have her own unique traits in some
aspects.
“Is everything everyone says always right? Does the only person with a different opinion have to be
wrong?”
Due to her height advantage, Chloe looked down at her, with a slight smile on her face.
Katie didn’t speak, but Chloe continued, “You’ve just accepted their point of view.”
Having said that, Chloe let go of Katie.
Katie instinctively started to sort out her hair, trying her best to cover the birthmark. Chloe just watched
her and smiled faintly, “Let’s go for a walk.”
Katie was somewhat reluctant, clutching the white canvas bag in her hand tightly.
On the bag was an exquisite moon pattern. Chloe’s eyes swept over it, flashing with interest; she
suddenly bent down to look at the bag in her hand.
Upon a closer look, she realized that the pattern was indeed embroidered.
“Where did you buy this cloth bag?”
Katie retreated a little, looking at Chloe, who was looking up at her, and she turned her face to one
side, “I embroidered it myself.”
Chloe was taken aback, and turned to look in the direction of the staircase entrance.
James and Presley felt awkward under her gaze. Presley coughed heavily and disappeared into the
staircase entrance.
Chloe gave a small smile and said helplessly, “Teach me too when you have time.”
“What?”
“Embroidery.”
By the time they were ready to leave, a car had already been arranged to wait for them.
They got in the car and headed straight for the nearest mall.
There were naturally a lot of people in the mall, everyone dressed in suits and designer clothes,
exuding an air of elegance.
Katie felt even more restrained in such a place.
Seeing her almost trip while nervously getting on the elevator, Chloe quickly grabbed her hand. Her
palm was full of cold sweat. Katie tried to pull her hand back, but Chloe didn’t let go.
Although she had doubted Chloe’s words at the Harper family, Chloe’s proactive approach now made
Katie feel a bit warm.
The two went straight to the clothing section. Chloe picked out a few dresses she wanted to try on
Katie, but Katie, being nervous, dodged them all.
Chloe shook her head, and when they passed by a vintage–style clothing store, she dragged Katie
straight in. Sure enough, seeing the clothes in the store, Katie was willing to stop. However, the part
she was most interested in was the patterns on the clothes.
Chloe picked out a bright yellow dress embroidered with jasmine flowers and walked over to Katie. She
held it up against Katie’s body, then nodded her head.
“Go try it on.” She stuffed the dress into Katie’s arms.
Katie was looking at the brightly colored dress in her arms, just about to decline when the store
attendant suddenly walked
over.
“M’lady, you’ve got quite the taste! This dress is the pride and joy of our brand designer, a real gem in
our store. It’s just that, due to its unique design, its appeal is somewhat limited. To be honest, quite a
few wealthy ladies have shown interest in this dress, but after trying it on, they all felt it wasn’t quite
right for them…”
The store attendant’s tone was gentle, her eyes briefly swept over Katie, who was dressed in cotton
and linen, and she gave a somewhat sheepish smile.
Seeing this scene, Katie’s resolve began to waver.
“Try this one on.” Chloe’s expression was somewhat cold as she repeated her previous statement,
leaving no room for
argument.
The store attendant was a bit intimidated by Chloe’s aura, but under some subtle pressure, she still led
Katie into the fitting
room.
Shortly after, Katie emerged from the fitting room.
