Chapter 80 Want to Dominate Me?
Chloe and Brian looked at each other.
Brian’s eyes shimmered faintly under the moonlight, looking like they could easily stir one’s heart. She
could feel that at this moment, if she said yes, then her life might undergo a drastic change.
“I don’t want to,” Chloe replied.
Brian frowned slightly. “Why? Do you still have Curtis in your heart?”
“No. I don’t have any feelings for Curtis anymore. I don’t want to because I don’t love you. Besides, I’ll
fight for whatever I want myself.”
Brian pursed his lips. When she said she didn’t love him, an indescribable sense of disappointment surged
in his heart.
After he stopped yearning for his parents‘ love long ago, he had clearly also stopped yearning for anyone’s
love. But now, he felt like he was yearning for her love.
“What about in the future?” he asked.
Chloe replied, “In the future, I-”
Before she could finish, he suddenly pressed a finger against her lips.
“You don’t need to answer me,” he murmured. He was afraid that whatever she might say wouldn’t be the
answer he was hoping for.
Rather than hear that, it was better not to hear anything at all.
Chloe was slightly stunned. At that moment, she realized the finger pressed to her lips was icy cold, but
her lips felt as if they were burning.
Sonya and Cutis returned to their hotel room.
Curtis had been silent ever since they left the banquet, which only made the uneasiness in Sonya’s heart
grow.
“Curtis, Chloe had gone too far,” she said. “She just got divorced, and she’s already clinging to Brian. I even heard from Willow that Chloe’s been stuck to Brian since she arrived in Yarfdale. They’ve been
inseparable. It’s as if she’s desperate for everyone to know they’re close.”
Curtis merely kept his head down, staying silent the whole time.
“Curtis?” Sonya raised her voice.
“What?” He suddenly snapped back to reality. “What did you say?”

Sonya bit her lip. “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been so distracted ever since we left the banquet.”
“It’s nothing,” Curtis replied. “I’m just feeling a little tired.”
“You’re thinking about Chloe, aren’t you?”
He didn’t answer.
Sonya continued, “Well, you’ve been married to her for three years, after all. I just didn’t expect that she’d be so eager to throw herself into Brian’s arms right after the divorce.
“I thought she had real feelings for you at first, so I didn’t want to affect your marriage when I came back. I didn’t expect her to be like this.”
As she spoke, she cupped Curtis‘ face. “Curtis, if it were me, if I truly loved someone, I would never let my
love waver. I would only ever love that one person my whole life.”
Sonya gazed at him tenderly, slowly closing her eyes as she moved her lips closer to his.
Curtis stiffened. He knew what Sonya was trying to hint at. If he just kissed her now, they would naturally
move forward and be together.
If this were before he married Chloe, he would have been overjoyed. He would have carefully kissed the lips he had longed for so desperately. He might have felt like it was the greatest blessing he could
possibly get.
But now, what flashed in his mind was Chloe’s face.
“It’s getting late, you should go back to your room and rest,” he said slowly.
Sonya’s eyes snapped open as she looked at him in disbelief.
Curtis turned his eyes away somewhat guiltily. “Sonya, I’m very grateful to you. No matter what, you’re an
important person to me.”
She clenched her teeth, gripping her dress tightly. Was this a rejection?
He kept on telling her how important she was to him. Yet, even after his divorce, he refused to take another step forward with her.
Was Chloe still in his heart?
The thought unsettled Sonya even more, though she still forced a smile on her face. “You’re right. It’s late, and we’re both tired. Rest well.”
“Alright,” Curtis replied.
After she left, a bitter smile played on Curtis‘ face.
What was wrong with him? He had actually rejected Sonya’s advance because of Chloe, not taking that
next step.

Worse still, when he saw Chloe with Brian, he actually started to regret the divorce. If he hadn’t divorced Chloe, then the one standing at her side today would have been him.
No, he shouldn’t regret it.
Curtis shook his head, driving away that fleeting thought.
To him, Sonya was far more important than Chloe. What he should be thinking about now was how to
treat Sonya better. He needed to repay her for saving his life and become someone she could rely on.
“Chloe, I don’t regret it,” he murmured into the empty room.
Early the next morning, Chloe was woken up by a call from Lena.
The first thing she said was, “You and Brian are dating, and you didn’t even tell me?”
Chloe blinked sleepily. “Why don’t I know I’m dating Brian?”
“Brian’s confession to you at the banquet last night is trending online!” Lena exclaimed.
Chloe jolted awake, quickly pulling up the news feed on her phone. Sure enough, just like Lena said, it was
trending.
The headline read, “Shocking, Corvessia’s Mr. Steele Dating a Divorced Woman?”
Underneath were photos from the banquet. Chloe and Brian were looking at each other, and his normally indifferent gaze seemed to carry an unusual gentleness to it.
The contrast with his usual cold demeanor was so strong that it was no wonder the comments section
was blowing up.
“Wow, is this really the most powerful man in Corvessia? He can’t seriously be interested in a divorced
woman, right?”
“What’s so good about that divorced woman that he’d look at her like that?”
“If he confessed to me, I’d accept him instantly!”
“That gaze could drown me! The gentle look in his eyes is lethal!”
Chloe scrolled through the comments in exasperation. Lena said loudly through the speaker, “Hey, so are you dating Brian or not?”
“No,” Chloe replied. “Do you really think I’d jump into another relationship immediately after my divorce?”
“Don’t tell me you’re still hung up on that scumbag Curtis?” Lena shot back.
“No, but I don’t plan to date Brian either,” Chloe said.
Lena clicked her tongue. “He confessed to you, and you weren’t even tempted? Did you know a magazine

once voted him as the man women most want to dominate?”
Chloe nearly choked. Because her phone was on speaker, Lena’s loud voice filled the whole room.
The man women most want to dominate. What kind of magazine gave Brian that title?
But as for whether she was tempted…
4/4
Chloe’s lips tingled faintly, feeling hot. It was as if the lingering chill of his finger from the night before still
rested there.
“No,” she said. At least, it was probably not.
After hanging up, she washed up and went downstairs to have breakfast with Brian.
Halfway through breakfast, Brian suddenly asked, “Do I not make you want to pin me down?”
Chloe froze, staring at him. The soup in her mouth instantly tasted like cardboard.
