Chapter 161 He's My Sugar Daddy
"Have you ever mentioned me to your cousin?" Donovan leaned against the head of the bed and asked Chloe.
"There's nothing good to say, we'll part ways sooner or later," Chloe replied with her eyes closed.
She decided that from now on, she would retract all the emotions she had invested before and keep her distance from Donovan until the agreement ended.
"So, does she mistakenly think Brayden is your husband? Are you feeling proud of yourself?" Chloe didn't say anything. She got dressed and went to have breakfast.
Donovan noticed the bruise marks on her neck, but she covered them up with a high-necked sweater.
After getting dressed, Donovan went to have breakfast. The breakfast at Chloe's house couldn't compare to the lavish spread at Donovan's.
Layla had bought coffee, lasagna, sandwiches, and eggs. Feeling nervous in Donovan's presence, Layla said, "Mr. Blake, I hope this is alright."
"It's fine," Donovan replied.
Chloe didn't eat eggs this morning. If she had wanted to eat eggs, he would have taken the egg yolk from her, but the complications would have led to new feelings for him. So, she chose not to have any.
"Chloe, not eating eggs today? I know you don't eat egg yolks, but I do," Amelia said as she peeled an egg for Chloe. "Give me the yolk later."
"Okay," Chloe felt warm inside. She used to discard the egg yolks, but now her mom would eat them.
Just as Chloe picked out the yolk to give to her mom, Donovan picked it up and handed it to her. Without a word, he quietly ate it.
Chloe glanced at him, finding it hard not to be moved at this moment. She wanted to suppress these emotions, but he seemed to fuel them.
Amelia chuckled. "Once you marry Donovan, I'll be at ease."
Chloe remained silent. She rode to the company in Donovan's car, wanting to say something along the way but ultimately staying quiet.
"What's on your mind?" Donovan noticed her hesitation and asked.
"Nothing," Chloe turned her head away.
When she got into the car earlier, Chloe noticed bite marks on his lips. She had accidentally bitten him yesterday, and she feared he might carry the marks to the office, leading to gossip and speculation.
"Oh, Sofia mentioned that you're quite the sleeper," Donovan suddenly chuckled to himself.
Chloe was momentarily stunned. Sofia? So, he chatted with mom last night and learned about New Year's? No wonder his attitude was so good today! Last night, he had almost devoured Chloe alive.
"Yes, I am," Chloe responded.
"Don't sleep too much, one nap is enough," Donovan teased Chloe.
Chloe thought to herself: How does he manage to turn everything into a matter of relationships between men and women? She can sleep, but that doesn't mean she can sleep with men.
After getting out of the car, Chloe walked ahead, followed by Donovan. They walked toward the company, one in front of the other.
Barbara happened to approach from the other side, wondering why Chloe got out of Donovan's car. She was married, so why was she getting involved with Donovan? Was it because of what Brayden did, and she was seeking revenge on Brayden? And the way they walked, one in front of the other, seemed like they didn't want others to know about their relationship.
As soon as Chloe entered the lobby, Barbara grabbed her arm. Yesterday's events had left Chloe feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Chloe, why were you with Mr. Blake?" Barbara asked.
"He..." Chloe thought to herself: 'How does she manage to see everything and be so nosy?'
She wanted to tease Barbara a bit and get back at her for yesterday, "He's my sugar daddy."
"Sugar daddy?" Barbara's jaw dropped, a tinge of jealousy creeping in.
These days, being supported by a wealthy person wasn't considered shameful, especially if it was someone like Donovan, who was handsome and rich. Many middle-aged men with big bellies in their forties were supporting young and pretty girls. Barbara had thought about finding someone to support her, but she couldn't find anyone.
"Does he give you money?" Barbara asked again.
"He does. If he didn't, why would I be his sugar baby? I want his money, he wants my body," Chloe said, crossing her arms, thinking about the awkward situation Barbara had caused yesterday, feeling irritated.
"How much?"
"He said around five million would be mine. He also gives me some pocket money," Chloe said.
After some thought, she realized that her relationship with Donovan was quite similar to being patronized, just with an extra piece of paper. In reality, that paper wasn't of much use; it was for his grandfather to see, and when the time came, they would have to part ways.
"So much?" Barbara was dumbfounded. It seemed that Chloe not only had a better job than her but was also wealthier.
Back in the office, Barbara asked the person next to her, "Is Mr. Blake Chloe's sugar daddy? Did you guys know?"
The office staff were eager for some drama. They were aware of yesterday's mishap and were now waiting for an even bigger one.
Naturally, they wouldn't reveal the truth to Barbara. Someone like Barbara needed to be taught a lesson.
After much thought, Barbara decided to go directly to Donovan and confront him. As a low-level salesperson, she had never been to Donovan's office before and needed to prepare herself mentally for such a significant step.
