Chapter 182 Encounter with a Female Wolf in Heat
Just as the stalemate persisted, Jacob and Karen arrived. Now, Jacob's presence was indispensable on important days, and Karen came because she had a thief's heart for Donovan, lacking the courage, only wanting to watch from afar.
Jacob brought a lot of sea cucumbers for Donovan, very expensive, claiming they were for his grandfather. He knew Donovan wouldn't mistreat him; sea cucumbers were just a small investment.
Everyone sat around the dining table. "My gift?" Obviously, if Chloe brought out the two belts she bought, it would be humiliating.
Chloe reached over Donovan's neck and kissed his cheek. "I bought you..."
Chloe didn't say the rest of the words in front of everyone, as it was their privacy.
"So, how are we going to get through today?" Donovan squinted at Chloe.
Chloe had already bought a gift for Donovan yesterday, so why didn't she bring it out today? Donovan had already guessed the reason.
"A kiss isn't a birthday gift? Only I can kiss you. No one else can. Isn't that unique?" Chloe said somewhat coquettishly.
The phrase "unique" made Paisley's chest ache. Chloe was mocking her for buying two identical belts. But there was something Chloe didn't spend a penny on, yet it was unique.
"Mr. Blake, Chloe loves you a lot," Jacob added timely.
Donovan turned to Chloe, "Love?"
Chloe hesitated a bit, "Jacob said it, of course, I love you."
Donovan caressed the back of Chloe's head, gently exploring, then his hand gradually slid down to her nape, giving it a squeeze.
To onlookers, this was a caress. But to Chloe, the pressure was already quite heavy, making it hard to breathe.
She didn't understand why, just by saying "love him," he was punishing her like this?
Donovan turned back, insincerely saying, "Indeed, very much!"
She loved him a lot!
Seeing the two confiding in each other, Paisley thought to herself her plan had failed again. She needed to find a way to completely separate Chloe and Donovan.
After lunch, Paisley left. Perhaps Donovan was in a good mood today; he had a bit to drink. Downstairs, Chloe didn't feel much, but once they were back in the bedroom, Chloe found the intoxication quite charming.
He wasn't drunk, but he made Chloe feel drunk.
She followed Donovan closely. When Donovan turned around, he saw Chloe following him.
"What? Wife follows husband?" His eyes narrowed, already a bit tipsy.
Chloe looked at him, feeling that he had a kind of irresistible charm now. He was unbuttoning his shirt, already on the second button.
The man's allure was strong, and Chloe felt a rush of emotions; her heart was racing.
Donovan also looked at Chloe.
Chloe pushed Donovan against the wall and couldn't help but kiss him. Her hands were still exploring Donovan's body.
"Just acting downstairs, now it's real," Donovan teased Chloe with a smile.
Chloe didn't care and continued kissing him.
"Today, I encountered a female wolf in heat," Donovan chuckled.
"I am the female wolf, stealing your color," Chloe's hands kept moving.
Donovan was very happy today.
Chloe thought of the gift she wanted to give him and took it out of the cabinet.
"Look, Paisley gave the exact same thing to Maya's husband. How can I give it to you?" Chloe sounded a bit dejected.
"Or, create your own mark. I'll use it," he looked at Chloe.
"What mark?"
"Like L&J." Donovan had already taken off his clothes, ready for a nap.
Chloe furrowed her brows, "But the belt is so stiff, how do I put it on?"
"Well, that's a problem," Donovan said casually.
Chloe fell into thought.
"How about starting a company specializing in the L&J brand?"
Chloe looked at Donovan, unsure if he had this idea in mind for a while or if it was impromptu. If it was impromptu, Chloe thought he was a business genius.
"Sure," Chloe got on the bed, leaned toward Donovan, and involuntarily placed her hands on his arms, "We'll specialize in men's underwear, belts, shirts, all high-end products, with the L&J label. We need a dedicated company for this. Who will invest?"
"Me."
"Who gets the profits?"
"You."
"Who will be the legal representative?"
"Both of us!"
Chloe looked at Donovan with a smile, "Really, husband?"
"Absolutely."
Chloe felt this was much better than him giving her money; she could be in charge of managing the factory and accounting, he was the major shareholder.
She was working for him, not just taking money for nothing.
Donovan playfully flicked Chloe's face.
