The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1339

Even Seth was stunned when he heard the news. His gaze swept over Chloe’s belly, then calmly landed on Cicely,

who was standing aside.

Something flickered in his eyes, gone in an instant. He turned and walked into the living room, seemingly indifferent

to the Angel’s Haven Orphanage that Chloe had just mentioned.

Maybe all he wanted now was for Cicely to stay put. Just her staying was enough.

Cicely’s gaze followed his retreating figure until her anxiety gradually dissipated.

Later, she looked at Chloe again. Cicely was the carefree person who used to seem indifferent to everything, but

now Chloe could clearly see the expectations and desires in her eyes.

Chloe felt a twinge in her heart. If before she couldn’t understand Cicely’s feelings, now looking at her, all Chloe felt

was sorrow. The two babies in her belly hadn’t shown any reaction yet, but she felt they were the best things in the

world.

She looked forward to their birth, their first time calling her mommy, watching them grow day by day, not wanting

to miss a single moment with them.

She had always thought her mother was great before, from praising her in school to later understanding her

mother’s hardships and sacrifices. She had felt her mother’s love for her, but couldn’t fully appreciate her

greatness, her hardship, her selflessness, and the deep love for her child.

Most of these thoughts were instilled through education, and she had always been the one receiving the motherly

love. But now, becoming a mother herself, she felt so many things deeper than ever before.

She thought, if she were Cicely, she might not be as strong. If she were Cicely, she might do whatever it takes to

keep her children by her side and give them the best love. But, for the sake of her child, she had to be strong.

There were things Cicely had to consider, so she had to restrain herself. Missing several years of her son’s growth,

it was a regret she could never make up for in her life.

“Come with me tomorrow, let’s go see the kids together.”

Cicely bit her lip, her eyes red. “Okay, you’re my boss. Your word is law.” Her voice was trembling slightly.

I

Chloe stepped forward, looking into her eyes, full of sympathy. “Is it because I’m your boss? Why do I think the

focus is actually on the vacation?”

Cicely lowered her head, took off her boots, “Since you know, you should be more proactive about the next

holiday.”

She walked towards the living room, stopped halfway, and turned to Chloe, “Is it a paid leave? If not, forget it.”

Seth suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on Chloe. Chloe saw a strong warning in his calm gazes. She raised an

eyebrow, suddenly saying, “Paid leave… that’s a bit tricky.”

Seth’s eyes narrowed slightly, but Chloe walked over to Cicely supporting her waist as they headed towards the

dining room, saying, “You must have seen the news I’m taking over Infinity Media’s artists soon, and there might be

a lot of them. So the company can only try to cut costs as much as possible.”

Seth’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a gloom flashed in his eyes. His gaze swept over Damon on the couch, and

seeing his indifferent but gentle smile, Seth’s face turned even darker.

He thought to himself, why had Damon, who usually wouldn’t proactively reached out to him, suddenly contacted

him today? It turned out he had a purpose. When he suddenly contacted him today, Seth immediately thought of

Chloe’s sudden request in the afternoon. But he thought that based on Chloe’s personality she might just want to

use Damon to get a chance to discuss things with him.

He knew Chloe was very smart; her performance in the industry over the past few months was enough for him to

completely acknowledge her.

About the thing she mentioned in the afternoon, he had already clearly rejected her. Even if they met again, there

should be a process of opening the topic. But after she walked into the room, there was no conversation between

them. How did she manage to bring up the matter so naturally? Who was she talking to?

Seth gave a slight smile. In his deep gazes, a hint of sarcasm flickered. What a good way to save costs.

“So, you can handle so many artists, but you’re nitpicking over my daily wage?”

Cicely was puzzled by Chloe’s reasoning. She was nitpicking over paid leave, when did Chloe become so petty?

Chloe pulled out a chair for Cicely to sit down, then sat down next to her, looking helpless. “What can I do, I’m

broke.” Though Cicely didn’t care much about this insignificant topic, she couldn’t help but give a smirk.

Everyone in the living room who heard Chloe’s words wanted roll their eyes.

Broke?! Her husband was the head of the Harper, Group, sitting right here. How could she dare to say that she was

broke?

Seth cast a cold glance at the indifferent Damon on the couch, gave a low chuckle, then said coldly. “She’s broke?”

Damon lifted his eyes and glanced at Seth indifferently. Seeing his displeased look, he smiled casually. “Yeah, she’s

broke.”

Seth chuckled, and he continued to ridicule, “When did you become so poor?”

Damon slowly stood up, his fitted dark suit making him look tall and upright, his mature and noble aura emanated a

faint, undeniable dominance.

The word poor was the last thing that matched his image. He glanced towards the dining room, and gave a slight

smile, “That depends on her. When she needs me to be poor, I must be poor.”

Seth was speechless. Rose suddenly felt that she regretted agreeing to this “poor” man to accompany Chloe. She

came to eat, not to witness their sweet romance.

Several veins popped up on Seth’s forehead. Compared to Rose getting all riled up outta nowhere, Seth thought

Damon strutting around in his house was way more infuriating.
