Chapter 259: Chapter 255

"Why are you here out of the blue?" Damon asked me in a grave tone while helping me into his coat

I didn’t answer and just turned to look inside the cafe Ariel had noticed Damon’s arrival by now. She must’ve seen Damon helping me into his coat too

Otherwise her face wouldn’t have looked so sour. The satisfied and confident smile she wore earlier was gone.

When a person was in love with someone that person was basically handing someone their emotions Ariel was no exception, getting back at her using Damon was a piece of cake

Damon followed my gaze and noticed Ariel

"Did you come to see her?" His tone turned icy and he furrowed his brows subconsciously

"I came to confirm if it was her who murdered Joshua"

Damon’s face hardened. "You’re just asking for trouble"

I gave a small smile as I looked at the man in front of me, who was still as dashing as ever. Time had not taken away his charm but had actually made him more mature and domineering No wonder Ariel was so hung up on him

But his inside didn’t match his outside

After noticing my peculiar gaze, Damon asked again, "What’s up?"

"You were pretty mad at what I said in the hospital room, weren’t you? Why are you still picking me. It’s freezing, let’s talk in the car"

"Okay" Damon headed towards the car

Ariel followed us out of the café and called out to Damon "Damon"

Damon stopped and turned around, but not to answer Ariel "Aren’t you coming? it’s really cold out."

I chuckled while pulling his coat tighter around

I quickened my pace to catch up to him, ignoring Ariel’s hateful gaze. What she said to me earlier made me realize something. Putting up with everything didn’t help, sometimes you needed to know what you wanted and go after it with everything you had.

Otherwise. I’ll always be the one getting fooled

From start to finish, Damon didn’t glance at Ariel. The car smoothly moved forward into the night Unusually I was the one to break the silence, "Damon, how about we make a deal?"

"Shoot" Damon’s response was crisp and clear

"If you can help me figure out the situation with my father and Joshua’s death, we can get married again. How does that sound?" I turned to look at Damon,

I was driving, feeling surprisingly at ease as I proposed this condition

The car slowed abruptly Damon looked at me in shock. "Eliana Brooks, are you serious?"

I smiled. "Yeah, as long as you help me with these two things that s proof enough of your sincerity"

Even though these two things were a bit complicated, it would be a lot easier with Damon’s help than figuring them out on my own.

Damon didn’t respond immediately. His grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his fingers went slightly pale. His tight lips made his profile seem tense, as if he were thinking about something.

To truly use Damon and fool him would be difficult. If he was a man who could be easily fooled, he wouldn’t have brought the

here it was today

I could only use one thing: His so-called feelings for me.

The car faty stopped in the garage of Starlight Estates when Damon finally spoke, "Okay I agree. But you should know that I’m not so easily fooled"

I know I clenched my hands feeling nervous inside but keeping a calm smile on my face

"I want a child" he focused on me, his clear eyes were filled with a shocking intensity For a moment, I felt like he could see right through me, as i could expose any plot i had

His request surprised me so much that my heart started racing. Given my health condition, it was practically impossible for me to get pregnant.

It was something I completely did not expect.

I was speechless, he smirked. "So, you were just joking with me?"

"Okay"

Damon’s eyes sparked an answer. "But both of these things must happen concurrently. If you mean to wait until I’m pregnant or ..."

Originally planned to leave Starlight Estates after seeing my dad,There was no panic in my heart, only deep hatred

Damon, I had an epiphany If I was going to use him, I would use him

As I got out of the car

He followed behind me "Tomorrow."

"I have someone go to your apartment to move your stuff over"

"Okay can I see my dad tomorrow?" I asked calmly as we stepped into the elevator

"Yeah, I go with you" As I expected Damon had everything planned out for me

I felt a glimmer of hope Even if everyone else deceived me, I still had my parents and a few true friends. They were my pillars of support

Dinner was ready, so I washed my hands and went to eat. This time, I chose to sit next to Damon instead of away from him.

Damon noticed these tiny changes but didn’t say anything

"Oh, by the way. I heard there was someone pulling the strings behind my dad’s case. Maybe you can look into that. My dad is definitely being framed; there’s something not right about those documents."I brought up this matter halfway through dinner.

"Hmm, eat" Damon glanced at me, and for some reason, that look made me feel a bit uneasy

After dinner, I went upstairs to take a shower. When I came back to the master bedroom, Damon was already standing on the balcony. He was smoking with his back to me

After noticing that I had come out, he put out his cigarette and turned around to come in.

I didn’t expect him to come back into the bedroom so soon, so I wasn’t wearing anything under my nightgown, not even underwear. Faced with his burning gaze, I quickly got under the covers.

"Why are you shy?" Damon slowly picked up the remote control and pressed a button. The thick curtains slowly closed, blocking the view from outside. "Damon, I know I promised you, but I’m just not feeling it right now. All this stuff with Joshua and my dad... it spooked me, you know?" I curled up tightly in my blanket

Damon was already at the edge of the bed, staring down at me while I was all curled up. His eyes were filled with longing

"If you’ve agreed to my terms, you’ve gotta play by my rules" Damon’s gaze suddenly became a bit cryptic as the corner of his mouth curled up into a chilling smirk." If you dare deceive me this time, I’ll make

sure you regret it."

He’d noticed my off-kilter state, and suspicion started creeping in,

I was actually really nervous inside.
