The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1649

The moment Elizabeth saw Royce, her true colors were revealed, vulnerable, helpless, and pitiful. She was

completely incapacitated in front of Royce. Years of dependency on Royce had conditioned her to become a little

damsel in distress” whenever he was around, completely lost on what to do. And Royce’s weak point was precisely

Elizabeth’s vulnerability Whenever he heard her whining and on the verge of tears, he couldn’t bear it “Don’t worry,

since they didn’t harm her directly and chose to take her away, it means she’s safe for now! They might be using

her to achieve some objectives…

Elizabeth sobbed even harder. Her cries were not loud, but the sound seeped through her fingers and sounded

particularly poignant. “But that makes me feel even worse. My daughter–in–law just came back, and with her

difficult personality, who would be close to her? In the end, it’ll only be Chloe… You’re saying they want to threaten

Chloe, right? Those damn.”

Elizabeth muttered between her sobs, gritting her teeth c2

Royce fell silent for a moment “Don’t worry too much Damon is handling this.”

“But he is so far away! That good–for–nothing is jobless What’s he doing always running abroad? What use is he to

me? He used to be all about work The only decent thing he did was find me a daughter–in–law! Now that his wife is

pregnant, he.. where the hell did he go?

Elizabeth’s anger boiled over as she continued to rant Eventually, she lost her temper and shouted out. Marina,

standing by the side, hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head at Elizabeth, indicating she was being too loud.

Elizabeth glanced at her, quickly realizing her mistake, and quickly covered her mouth. “…I don’t care, just don’t let

me see that brat again Otherwise, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!”

“Alright, do as you please” Royce completely gave in, treating his son like a toy just to please Elizabeth.

She could do whatever she wanted with him. Whether it was hitting or scolding, it was all up to her.

Elizabeth sobbed a couple of times. He’s your son too, don’t you care about him? Don’t you love them?”

Royce went silent for a few seconds on the other end of the call. I do.” One word, if Damon or Nathan were present

to hear it, they would definitely get goosebumps. They had never heard their father. Royce, say the word love!”

Typically, it would be cringe–worthy to hear such a word from a stiff, serious man like Royce, especially when

referring to two tall, brooding men

Elizabeth, however, didn’t find it odd at all Hearing Royce profess his love for their sons, made her feel truly happy.

“So you will let me hit them without stopping me

Royce went silent for another few seconds.

Because I love you more”

A small smile finally broke out on Elizabeth’s face. One she couldn’t hide no matter how hard she tried. Okay, then

I’ll give Damon a piece of my mind

Royce’s tone relaxed slightly. As long as you’re happy.”

“Alright

Elizabeth responded with a firm nod, but her face suddenly fell. “Now’s not the time for this, you… you’re just trying

to pacify mel My daughter–in–law is in danger, and this isn’t the time for sweet talk”

Marina stood by, looking completely lost Indeed, this wasnt the time for sweet talk! And after decades of marriage,

with both sons married, why were‘ they still acting like lovebirds?

Royce pursed his lips Right now, you can’t do anything but worry it’s useless, and like I said, your daughter–in-law is

safe for now

Elizabeth pouted Anyway, I’m upset right now. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going to be with Chloe I

can’t risk anything happening to my precious grandkids”

Royces voice went cold So you’re saying that your grandkids are more important than me?”

“Of course, isn’t that obvious? Elizabeth responded matter of factly

Royce, hearing her words, tried to swallow his annoyance. He knew he shouldn’t have let it get to him, but he

couldn’t help it. This woman. if he didn’t keep her in check, she’d run wild

“Elizabeth

“What is it? I’m only telling you the truth We’ve been together for decades, so there’s nothing new or exciting about

it. I’ve only just started spending time with Chloe haven’t even seen my grandkids yet Don’t worry, I still love you,

mwah Bye, I have to go check on Chice

Her candidness and a quick peck didn’t do much to improve Royce’s mood. He wanted to say something, but

Elizabeth hung up the phone, not giving hemi a chance to speak

Marina let out a sigh of rebel Mrs Harper’s words had nearly given her a heart attack! Could anyone really talk to

Mr. Harper

that!

Young Mr Harper had been so alouf, so stern, and so difficult to get along with She’d been with the Harper famdy

for decades, so she knew tha wel. And Elizabeth was well aware of how Royce used to be

Just a few days ago, shed accidentally seen a young maid’s phone wallpaper, which read. ‘A woman should be

pampered, the_mu i pampered, the better At the time shed shook her head thinking that while it was true it was too

blunt lacked grace, and was a bit unrealistis, But seeing Elzabeth now, she began to agree with that statement it

seemed that a woman who was Customed to being duted un indeed had a lot of i

Elizabeth hung up the phone with a sigh, and her face was etched with worry

At Marina’s command, the Wi–Fi in the entire villa had been switched off. They wanted to keep Chloe in the dark, at

least for a while

Chapter 164

Elizabeth climbed the stairs, heading back to the room where Chloe still sat, fiddling with the double stroller meant

for the twins. Upon seeing Elizabeth, Chloe looked up and flashed her a grin.
