Chapter 678 He didn't say anything.
Chloe had no idea what kind of feelings Amelia had when she adopted her back then.
Amelia probably adopted Chloe when she was very young. At that time, Chloe was just a baby without any background, and Amelia naturally liked her. But Jake, who had picked up many bad habits from Janet and Cynthia, was viewed through a biased lens by others, unlike Chloe back then.
The next day, Chloe and Donovan went to get their marriage certificate. They got the certificate, but it didn't feel any different. After all, they had been living together and already had a child, so it was just a formality.
After getting the remarriage certificate, the two kids were acting mysteriously.
Although Jake had a bandage on his head, his smile was exceptionally charming. It seemed that a person's appearance is related to their spirit and energy.
In the evening, when it was time to eat, Francis suddenly turned off the lights.
Chloe was a bit surprised and naively asked, "Did the power go out?"
Then she saw Francis and Jake coming out with a cake. The candlelight from the cake illuminated their faces, making their cheeks look rosy.
They brought the cake over and said in unison to Chloe, "We wish Mom and Dad would always be together."
Chloe's eyes welled up with tears, and she immediately smiled, quickly pulling the two kids close, "Good, very good."
She rubbed her forehead against the kids' foreheads. Indeed, Jake was much happier now than when he first arrived, thanks to Chloe's efforts.
Francis and Jake pressed their foreheads against Chloe's and softly called, "Mom."
Chloe was deeply moved.
She glanced at Donovan, who showed no particular reaction.
From Jake, Chloe saw many abandoned children and suddenly thought that if they were given more love, they would surely thrive.
Chloe inadvertently noticed Zoey's expression; she seemed deeply touched, probably thinking about something.
"Zoey, what are you thinking about?" Chloe asked.
Zoey suddenly lowered her head to wipe away a tear. Fortunately, the lights were still off, so she felt less embarrassed.
"Nothing," Zoey said.
Chloe guessed that seeing Jake probably reminded Zoey of many children in the mountains and her son, Andrew.
Feeling gratified, Chloe also thought of Andrew.
So, after dinner, Chloe and Donovan discussed donating some money and items to children in impoverished areas.
"What do you think?" Chloe asked Donovan.
"If you think it's good, then it's good. Let's donate in both our names."
"I want to go see them," Chloe said.
"Alright, tomorrow. We'll go together," Donovan said. "I'll go to the office first to arrange some work. You wait for me. The kids don't need to go to preschool tomorrow; they can come with us."
"Okay." Chloe was very happy. After all, she hadn't gone out for a long time, and she had no classes tomorrow, so she could go out and relax.
Seeing Donovan so cooperative, Chloe was quite pleased. He wasn't a heartless person after all.
The news came out from the New East Group's advertising department: the winning bid was from Mountain UAV Company, a bid worth over ten million dollars, but it wasn't finalized yet and needed Donovan's confirmation.
On Monday, after Donovan arrived at the company, Charles came into his office and placed a stack of documents in front of him.
"Donovan, sign this. Once you sign, the contract will be effective," Charles said.
Donovan glanced at the documents and saw that the winning bid was from Mountain UAV Company. He didn't say anything and continued packing his things.
