Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 460 I Want to Marry Him Properly

Watching such an obedient man getting on his knees before me, I felt a bit uncomfortable. "Damian, please don't do this. I know you were forced into it back then. Stand up."

Damian looked at Carter with tearful eyes, while Carter stared down at him, silent.

"You knew how much Chloe means to me, yet you kept this from me and did what you did," Carter said coldly.

"Mr. Carter, I'm sorry."

"Even though you knew Yael wouldn't harm Chloe, do you think I could live with myself if something happened to her? If she died, could I survive that?"

Carter's eyes were as cold as ice. "Damian, I can forgive a lot of betrayals, but not when it comes to Chloe. Be grateful she wasn't hurt, or I wouldn't let you go so easily."

He pulled out a check. "You've been with me for years. I've arranged for your sister to go to a prestigious school. With her talents, she'll have a bright future. Aunt Amber and I will help her. Take this money and start fresh somewhere you like."

I glanced at the check-it was for 100 million.

It was enough for Damian to buy a house and live comfortably anywhere. He was capable enough to take care of himself.

Plus, Carter had already given him a decent salary before, so this money felt like a way of closing the chapter on their past.

Damian shook his head. "Mr. Carter, please don't send me away. I just want to stay by yours and Mrs. Zoey's side. I swear I'll never harm her again."

"Once you lose my trust, you become unnecessary. I understand you were trying to protect me, but I can't risk Chloe's life again. You're seriously injured, so take care of yourself from now on. Don't you like flowers? You could open a flower shop, find a girl, and lead a simple, happy life."

Damian wasn't ready to accept this fate. A tough man who had never shed a tear, not even when facing death, now cried like a child.

"Mrs. Zoey, Mr. Carter saved my sister's life. I've done so much wrong, and I haven't repaid him. Please speak up for me. I never meant to hurt you. I was forced into it."

Seeing Damian in tears, I glanced helplessly at Carter.

Carter's main concern was me, and I was the only one who could change his mind.

Clearing my throat, I said, "Well, since Damian wants to help, why not let him stay? I like how he delivers a powerful slap."

Damian quickly added, "Mrs. Zoey, I'll slap anyone you ask me to."

Carter sighed. "Get up. Rest, then come back."

Damian stood up with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Carter. Here's the check back."
