The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1178

Chloe’s eyes lit up with anticipation, “Nothing beats the vibe of slurping beef soup.”

Elizabeth’s eyes started to sparkle. “Is there hot sauce?”

Chloe nodded with a grin, “The beef soup comes with hot sauce.”

Elizabeth clapped her hands together, pointing at Chloe, “You know how to enjoy food!”

Chloe got up, “I’ll go and get it ready.”

Elizabeth also stood up, “I’ll help.”

But both women were held back by the men next to them. “For something as simple as this, you guys don’t need to

lift a finger. Let the servants handle it.” Just then, the servants coordinatedly cleared the four plates of pasta from

the table, saying “We’ll prepare the beef soup right away,” and then one after another, they headed into the

kitchen.

When Chloe and Elizabeth sat back down, Damon and Royce’s tense expressions also gradually eased. They had

dodged an awkward situation.

Royce felt particularly relieved. No matter how the beef soup turned out, anything would be better than the pasta in

front of him.

In fact, when he tasted the beef soup, he found it quite alright. He could adjust the taste of the soup according to

his preference.

Although the dish was simple, seeing his wife and son’s proficient movements, he couldn’t help but ask, “Have you

guys had this before?”

Damon put a piece of meat into Chloe’s plate, saying nonchalantly, “It’s all the rage these days.”

Elizabeth also took a bite of the meat, “What do you mean it’s popular now? It’s always been popular, okay?”

Royce looked at Elizabeth, “You like it a lot?”

“Yes.”

Royce frowned, “Why didn’t I know?”

He should’ve known everything she liked.

Elizabeth pursed her lips, expressing her displeasure, “Presley pesters me every day, I don’t want to be reminded of

Presley’s nagging every time heat beef soup.”

How many hobbies had she given up because of Presley?

Royce tightened his lips, “From now on, we’ll have it with mom.”

“Cough cough…” Elizabeth coughed, “And not invite dad?”

Royce picked up a piece of lettuce, putting it into his mouth.

“Let him watch.”

That was harsh.

Meanwhile, in the Harper family home, Wendy had settled in comfortably.

Addie was taking care of her in every possible way. No matter what it was, the care and concern she gave were the

best.

Chloe said Addie was Wendy’s relative, but looking at how she treated Wendy, even her real mother would not be

able to match up.

Wendy was taken straight from the hospital by Presley without any preparation. Naturally, the task of dressing her

wounds fell onto Addie. When she saw the horrifying scars on Wendy’s body, even though she was mentally

prepared, Addie still gasped. Her heart ached beyond words.

“How could Chloe be so cruel?”

Wendy clenched her teeth, staying silent.

Addie sighed, opened the medicine box, and started to carefully tend to her wounds. “It seems like you’ll have to

endure the pain for a few more days. At least the medicine prescribed by the doctor is the best, it can ease some

of the pain.”

As for whether the wounds would scar, Addie didn’t mention this crucial question. When the doctor taught her how

to handle the wounds, she had already asked about it.

The doctor’s answer wasn’t definitive. The fact that Wendy’s body was covered in scars clearly showed Chloe had

no mercy. Although the doctor said this balm wouldn’t scar, nothing was certain. It all depended on the recovery,

resistance, immunity, and many other factors.

Thinking that these terrifying scars would remain on Wendy’s delicate skin, Addie’s heart filled with anger and

sorrow.

Her impression of Chloe worsened.

“I really don’t understand what Mr. Harper is thinking. In terms of familiarity, besides his mother, probably only you

know him best, yet he suddenly chose such a heartless and ungrateful woman!

“I heard that woman was dumped by her boyfriend at first. She actually had a boyfriend. How could Mr. Harper,

such a noble and handsome man, accept a woman who was dumped by someone else…

“Thank goodness the two of them haven’t tie the knot yet, otherwise if Chloe really becomes the mistress of our

Harper family, that would be unacceptable. Such a woman can’t become the matriarch of the family.”

As Addie treated Wendy’s wounds, she grumbled, her dissatisfaction with Chloe overflowing.

Wendy sat there quietly, and after hearing Addie’s complaints, her eyes also filled with anger.

Yes, everyone knew that if it weren’t for Chloe’s appearance, she would undoubtedly become the future matriarch

of the Harper family. Even if Damon didn’t have feelings for her at first, given enough time, she believed he would

fall for her. Others might’ve not known, but she knew. Although Damon was cold, he was a gentleman. Even if he

didn’t love her, he would respect her.

But now, how deeply had he hurt her for Chloe? He even wanted to kill her for that woman…

Perhaps, recalling Damon’s icy and resolute gaze, she suddenly shivered.

“Ah, did I hurt you?”

Addie got scared and quickly asked. Wendy shook her head. “No, I just remembered some unpleasant things.”

Unpleasant things, weren’t they all because of Damon?

“Sigh, it’s heartbreaking to see the man you’ve always liked about to marry another woman… You have to be

optimistic, things haven’t reached the final step yet!”

Wendy was actually somewhat disheartened. Damon even wanted to kill her for that worthless woman, could he

really forgive her?

Maybe now, she shouldn’t just sit and wait for the outcome, there were a lot of things she needed to do. At least,

she needed to find a way to change. Damon’s view of her.

“Alright, Ms. Wendy, the dressing is done… Ah, this dress can’t be worn anymore, you need something light and

loose.”

Wendy was silent for two seconds, then she gave a faint smile. “Addie, don’t a lot of the servants here have a soft

spot for Ms. Chloe? Sometimes when step out, they give me these weird looks. Maybe it’s ‘cause I moved in and

she had to bug off, they’re probably not too thrilled with me, huh?”
