Stanley’s gaze lingered on Wendy’s face for a moment, Grace hastily shielding it with her hand.
“What the hell are you guys up to? If you’re planning any funny business, the Alonso family won’t let
you get away with it!”
Stanley frowned. “Relax, your daughter is so ugly, she can’t even hold a candle to Chloe’s toenail! Stop
daydreaming. What guy would be interested in her?”
“Hah…” Ned couldn’t help but chuckle. Sometimes hanging with Stanley meant not only dealing with
his moody, hot–tempered nature but also enduring his sudden, cold jokes.
Stanley shot him a look. “What’s so funny?”
Ned nodded. “I mean, I think even a madman wouldn’t wanna… touch a toenail.”
Stanley raised an eyebrow. “Fair point.”
Wendy was about to blow her top! She was less than Chloe’s toenail? She was a lady of the Alonso
family!
“No wonder Damon chose Chloe.” Stanley shook his head, then got into his car.
It wasn’t until the cars had slowly driven away that Grace and Wendy stood up.
“Where did this bully come from? Figures that anyone associated with Chloe is no good.” Grace was so
mad she could chew nails! In just a few days, she had come to loathe Chloe to the bone.
“Mom, the car… our bags and phones were all in it, and we’re still miles away from the Harper family.
Are we supposed to walk back?”
“What else can we do?”
Wendy’s face fell. These past few days, due to Damon’s engagement, her injuries had barely healed.
And now she had to walk back to the Harper family with the pain. What was it that kept her going?
‘Damon, do you know who loves you the most in this world?‘
But there was nothing they could do right now but walk back to the Harper family, step by step.
Today was a very important day! Because today, the focus wasn’t Chloe, but Wendy!
Due to Stanley’s behavior, Chloe sat at the breakfast table, predictably getting an earful from Presley.
She kept quiet, eating her breakfast as she listened. She was already rattled because of Stanley, and
Presley’s reprimanding was just adding fuel to the fire.
She tried to control her emotions, not wanting to blow up on what should be the happiest day of her life
so far. Just had to bear it a bit longer, get through today, and perhaps she wouldn’t see Presley for a
long time.
But Presley’s voice was really grating, and Elizabeth automatically blocked out his voice and put a
sandwich into Chloe’s hand. “Eat up, you’ll need your strength today.”
“Mhm.”
The old man continued his cold remarks, and Chloe took a bored bite of her sandwich. But after just a
few chews, she felt a wave of nausea and immediately ran to the bathroom.
The old man’s face turned black with rage, slamming the tableware on the table, and snapping angrily,
“What is she playing at? I say a few words and she gives me this attitude?”
Elizabeth scoffed. “Can’t you see she’s been unwell since yesterday? Today’s her engagement day,
and you’re picking on her first thing in the morning. Who would be in a good mood?!”
But the old man wasn’t angry. He had made a fuss about disagreeing with the engagement last night
but didn’t mention it this morning. Elizabeth didn’t have the patience to wonder what he was thinking
and went to check on Chloe after setting down her utensils.
In the bathroom, Chloe hadn’t eaten much, but she vomited what little she had. Elizabeth came over
and gently rubbed her back, her face full of concern. “Are you okay? Should I call a doctor to check on
you? You can’t afford to have anything happen at the engagement party.”
Chloe rinsed her mouth, then exhaled deeply. “I’m feeling a lot better.”
She rubbed her ears, her face a bit troubled. “Grandpa is really annoying.”
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “Annoying is an understatement. He’s absolutely insufferable! He got you so
worked up you threw up. Just goes to show how irritating he is.”
Chloe chuckled, then suddenly grabbed Elizabeth’s arm, bending slightly to rest her head on her
shoulder.
“Elizabeth…” She spoke slowly, the word going straight to Elizabeth’s heart.
“What’s gotten into you, being so clingy all of a sudden…”
“Because you’re a really good mother.” Chloe’s eyes sparkled. “There were so many times after losing
my mom when I wanted to rely on her… I felt that if she were by my side, all the problems I faced
wouldn’t be problems. Over the years, I’ve endured so much, but I often thought that if my mom were
here, things would be easier.”
Elizabeth patted Chloe’s arm gently. “You can rely on me from now on I always wanted a daughter, but
instead I got two troublemakers!”
Chloe laughed. “Troublemakers? Your sons will give you lots of grandkids.”
“That’s why I said they’re troublemakers. What if they bring home a wife I can’t stand? What if they
marry a troublesome woman and drive me to my grave?”
Chloe’s voice softened. “Do you find me easy to get along with?”
“Mhm, very much so! If you give me lots of grandkids, I’ll like
“Thank you so much. So far, only grandpa disapproves or
sake…”

Chapter 1243
“You don’t have to thank me, I’ve got my head screwed on right, I know what’s what. Most importantly,
you’re the one Damon chose. By helping you, I’m essentially helping my son. I’m not blind to that fact. I
haven’t really hashed this out with you, but Damon was raised in the lap of luxury as part of the Harper
family. He’s a bit immature when it comes to taking care of himself. So, I’m counting on you to look out
for him. As for his personality…”
Elizabeth knitted her brows, looking quite peeved. “In a nutshell, he’s got a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
He’s standoffish, likes to give people the cold shoulder, and it’s like pulling teeth to have a deep
conversation with him. He acts like every word costs him a buck!”
“Ha!”
Chloe couldn’t help but burst out laughing again. Talking as if it cost money? Who roasted their own kid
like this?
