The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 960

Even though the bed was huge, she still moved to the edge of it.

Damon, feeling helpless, stretched out his hands, pulling Chloe into his arms. Over the blanket, he covered her head

and whispered, “Alright, they’re all gone now.”

Chloe bit her lip lightly under the blanket, quietly allowing Damon to hold her in his arms. The tight embrace filled

her heart with contentment.

After being held quietly for a while, just when Chloe was finding it hard to breathe, Damon couldn’t wait to yank her

blanket off.

“You gotta come out, or you might suffocate.”

“Uh…”

Chloe didn’t resist, she lifted the blanket and started breathing heavily.

“I was really about to suffocate,”

Her hair was messy. Damon chuckled and slowly smoothed her hair out. Then his fingers slid to her rosy cheeks.

“I’m sorry.”

Chloe looked at him, “Why are you apologizing?”

Damon leaned his forehead against hers, “I will explain things to Wendy. I never considered her feelings, so…”

“I understand.”

Chloe said softly,

“You’re exceptional, and it’s predictable that she likes you. Not just me, probably everyone thinks you two look good

together. I knew she was hostile towards me.

Damon suddenly held her even tighter. He didn’t quite like her understanding attitude right now. It made him feel

like she was ready to step aside for Wendy at any moment.

“But I also want to thank her for giving me a chance to prove that I’m smarter and better than her. I have

overpowered the woman who everyone thinks is most suitable for you, so I’m the one who truly deserves to stand

by your side,”

Damon took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the woman in his arms, his heart filled with both joy and

powerlessness.

“You don’t have to be so perfect. Whoever I choose is always the best.”

Chloe’s eyes twinkled with a smile, “That’s the only way I can be at ease.”

But he was not at ease. The more she did, the better and more perfect she became, the more he didn’t know how

to give her the best.

Damon’s lips gently brushed hers.

“When are we going back to P City?” Chloe asked, there were lots of things that she needed to handle back in P

City.

“When do you want to go back?”

“Hmm… the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

Damon thought for a while, then finally nodded and whispered, “Okay.”

Chloe’s eyelids started to feel heavy, and she lay in his arms, her voice full of exhaustion,

“I’m very tired, I’m gonna hit the hay.”

“Okay.” Damon gently patted her, his voice extraordinarily careful.

Not long after, the woman in his arms‘ breathing became steady and deep.

Damon carefully placed her on the pillow, tucked her in, and then left the room.

The doctor was waiting downstairs. Seeing him come down, he said, “This is some sedative, also let her rest

properly, and there should be no big problem then.”

“Hmm, she’s asleep.”

The doctor smiled, “That’s best. It’s good to take less medicine.”

Damon didn’t say anything, just sat on the couch, furrowing his brows.

The doctors looked at each other, packed up their stuff and left quietly.

When Nathan arrived, he ran into the departing doctors, who greeted him.

“Leaving so early?”

“Yes, she’s asleep.”

Nathan nodded and went in:

He then saw his brother sitting on the couch, his face cold as though he was deep in thought. But Nathan guessed,

he must be feeling uneasy, maybe partly because of what he said to him today.

Nathan sat directly on the couch opposite to him, and Damon glanced at him coldly.

“Buzz off.”

See, he’s still holding a grudge.

“The family is all here today, and grandpa decided to have a family dinner tomorrow night, and head back to P City

the day after.”

Damon frowned, “Who’s coming?”

Nathan smirked, “Both our uncles and their families. Oh, and Phoebe is also here. Grandpa asked her to notify her

sister to come as well,”

Damon’s brows furrowed even more.

“When?”

S

“Just now.” Nathan paused, then scoffed, “Grandpa also knows about what happened at the banquet, but he

seemed to have no major reaction. He even told me to specifically tell you to be nice to Ms. Wendy.”

Nathan found it ridiculous as he said it.

What the hell was he thinking? Wendy made such a big scene tonight, and grandpa not only didn’t hold it against

her, but even asked his brother to be nice to her. Was he ignoring his brother’s temper?

Damon squinted his eyes, remaining silent.

Nathan raised his eyebrow. Grandpa really was something. It was obvious that no matter what he said, it would be

pointless. Why bother making him say this useless

sentence.

With a sigh, Nathan leaned on the couch, crossed his legs, and stared at Damon for a while before saying,

“Chloe doesn’t seem like she’s frail or sickly, and her repeated performances show that she’s not a timid person.

What happened tonight was a piece of cake compared to what she did in the Fragrance Frenzy and the award

ceremony, how come… she suddenly got scared like this?”

Damon also frowned, that was exactly what he was thinking. What exactly happened at the banquet today that

made her suddenly like this?

Nathan also frowned, recalling the situation at the banquet.

“I remember, the only thing that could’ve scared her was probably the accident by the pool.. Chloe almost fell into

the pool…”

Nathan mumbled to himself, then clapped his hands, “Right! That’s it, after the pool accident, Chloe’s face started

to look off!”

Damon pondered for a moment, his handsome face suddenly turned gloomy. Their first encounter was in the

hospital, when she nearly drowned in the sea but luckily

survived.

She can’t swim. Her mother committed suicide by jumping into the sea right in front of her…

In this world, probably nothing can stop her or make her feel scared. Her only weakness was not being able to

swim.

The fact that it can make the tough Chloe feel scared showed just how damaging it was.

Nathan peered at Damon’s face, his own expression losing its playful edge, turning serious.

“Found the chick who tried to mess with Chloe. She’s the illegitimate daughter of Horizon Wealth Management.

Wanna meet her?”
