The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1181

“What? Injured?”

True to being a good friend, the shocked expression on the other end of the line was quite satisfying to Chloe.

“What happened?” Rose set her half–eaten apple aside, her face nearing the screen as if trying to discern the

details from Chloe’s face.

“Things are a bit complicated, I’ll explain when you get here. I’m fine for now. Don’t worry.”

“Okay…” Rose let out a sigh and picked up her apple again.

Chloe couldn’t help but chuckle, then asked casually, “How’ve you been? Living alone in the mansion with Morrison?

He’s probably at work now, right? Is he coming back with you tomorrow?”

Chewing her apple, Rose seemed to slow down a bit, but soon she regained her composure.

“I’m doing well, and yes, living in the mansion with him. He’s busy now, and probably won’t be coming back with me

tomorrow.”

Chloe noticed Rose’s reaction and couldn’t help but wonder if things were as smooth as they seemed. “Let me pick

you up from the airport tomorrow.”

Rose didn’t refuse, considering she was pregnant and going out alone could be a bit concerning.

They chatted for a bit more, Chloe reminding Rose to avoid any radiation exposure before hanging up.

Afterward, Chloe opened her video player and started browsing through the recommended movies. Her eyes were

on the screen, but her mind was elsewhere.

Could Rose really handle it all alone? She couldn’t imagine, would Morrison still hurt her even after she’s pregnant

with his child?

When Damon returned to the bedroom from his study, he saw Chloe sitting in the chair, hugging her knees, lost in

thought. He made some noise deliberately to avoid frightening her. Chloe looked up and saw him coming over

through the mirror.

Dressed in a black suit, Damon looked handsome and calm, exuding an aristocratic aura. However, Chloe sensed a

hint of gloom and harshness in him. She looked up, blinked, and then the man was standing beside her, lifting her

onto the soft bed.

“What are you thinking about?” Damon kissed her cheek and asked softly. Chloe looked at him, his face bearing a

faint smile, as if the gloomy atmosphere before was all her imagination.

“Huh?” His slender fingers gently caressed her cheek, his face drawing closer to hers again, his deep eyes like the

endless night sky, as if to draw her in. “Rose is coming back tomorrow. I need to pick her up.”

Damon’s gaze paused slightly, his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. They were so close that she could see

his eyelashes clearly. Therefore, his almost imperceptible movement was actually very obvious.

“She’s coming alone, and she’s pregnant, so I’m a bit worried.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to pick her up.”

“…” Chloe didn’t say anything, just quietly looked at him.

After a while, Damon’s fingers gently pinched her chin, his deep gaze finally landed on her lips, and the obvious

prelude to a kiss made Chloe’s heart race, feeling a mix of anxiety and shyness. Soon, the man’s lips covered hers,

their lips rubbing against each other, his tongue gently tracing the shape of her lips, the warm and soft touch was

full of temptation.

She felt a current surge from deep within her, circulating throughout her body along the path of her blood. She

gripped his suit tightly, pushing him away slightly.

“What’s wrong with you?” she asked.

He seemed a bit off today. Although he was suppressing his emotions, she could still notice it.

What was he busy with in the study?

Damon gently brushed the hair off her face, then kissed her on the face.

“Do you want to take a nap?” He changed the subject.

“Are you planning to nap dressed like this?”

Damon paused, looking at her slightly flushed cheeks and smiled. “Is there a problem?”

“What do you think?”

“I think it’s great.”

Chloe blinked, “What’s so great?”

Wearing a smile, Damon gently rubbed her reddish lips with his fingers and murmured, “Because I found out that

dressing up attracts you more…”

Chloe’s face turned red instantly. Seeing his gaze, she felt a bit uneasy. “What nonsense are you talking about!”

Her reaction only made Damon laugh more. “It seems you really enjoy watching me slowly undress…”

“Stop talking!”

His voice was already low, and now he was saying these romantic things in her ear, she was completely unable to

respond. She put her hand over his mouth and forcefully pushed him away.

This was too embarrassing! How did he suddenly start being a rogue again?

“Do you want to sleep or not?”

His voice came from her palm, making it feel warm, and she instinctively let go.

“Stop being such a flirt!” Chloe warned.

Unable to bear it, Chloe pushed Damon away, dove into the blanket, and covered her head, giving him no chance!

Through the blanket, Chloe could hear Damon’s joyful laughter. Soon, he began to pull the blanket from her head.

“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you, come out.”

“You really won’t tease me anymore?” Chloe’s muffled voice came from the blanket.

“Ha… I promise.”

Looking at the blanket in front of him, Damon thought his wife was just too adorable.

Chloe paused for a moment before crawling out of the blanket, and there was Damon, smiling at her. Then he

raised his hand and placed it on her belly, patting gently. “Alright, let’s nap.”

Only then did Chloe truly relax.

She didn’t know when she fell asleep, all she knew was the last thing she saw before drifting off was Damon’s face.

Later on, she vaguely remembered she was supposed to pick up Rose at the airport tomorrow, but she hadn’t

received Damon’s approval yet. She wanted to ask, but the overwhelming sleepiness left her without the energy to

speak.

Watching Chloe sleep soundly, Damon gently touched her cheek, his eyes filled with deep affection. It took a while

before Damon pulled his hand back, slowly got up, and headed for the door.

The smile on his face vanished the instant he closed the door. That gloomy vibe Chloe had picked up on earlier was

now even more palpable. He walked downstairs stone–faced, the servant who was about to greet him at the

stairway was so intimidated by the fierce aura Damon was radiating that she didn’t utter a single word.
