The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

”

Chapter 1681

TI keep a close eye on her, but if you don’t show up at this year’s shindig at Dubonnets Manor, there will be talk.”

Barbara pursed her lips Indeed, she had always been the one invited to all the parties. Being the eldest princess of

the royal family, she was always treated with high regard. She was the center of admiration, with envious looks

constantly cast in her direction.

Although people usually fawned over her, she had often heard them gossiping about her behind her back. If she

didn’t attend Fiona’s birthday bash this time, who knew what they would say behind her back. Would they say that

her past grandeur was a joke, and that her replacement was a cause for celebration?

Nowadays, people love to kick others when they are down. She hadn’t experienced it, but she had seen it happen.

Seeing it often, she knew that in this world, only power and status truly mattered, so she couldn’t give anyone the

chance to make fun of her

She had to attend this birthday bash. Even if she couldn’t, Chloe certainly couldn’t have that opportunity.c2

Chloe returned to the hotel from the palace. In the luxurious suite, Damon was in the study dealing with work. The

room temperature was just right. Damon was wearing a grey shirt. He casually put on a V–neck sweater on top,

very casual

Chloe leaned against the door frame of the study, arms folded, quietly watching Damon work diligently.

She saw him by her side every day but never saw him go to the office, even Elizabeth was always calling him a kept

boy, a do–nothing young manof a wealthy family. But who could have imagined that the power he held, was truly

terrifying. Just being the world’s largest arms dealer was enough to shock everyone

No wonder he didn’t take the Harper family seriously. No wonder he didn’t mind being labeled a kept boy, In this

world, there were probably no other kept boys like him

The man sure looked fine when he was working.

A few minutes passed, and Damon finally put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at Chloe

“Seen enough?”

Chloe raised her well–groomed eyebrows, walked into the study, came to his side, leaned on his desk, and faced

him. “You’re not focusing on your work. I didn’t make a sound”

Damon lightly curled his lips Your presence is so strong even when you’re silent, what can I do?”

T’ll leave then. I don’t want to disturb your work”

Her hand was gently held 1 don’t want to work anymore.”

Chloe blinked “How can you not work? You have dependents both old and young, and they all count on you for

living”

He pulled Chloe into his arms Indeed, I need to work hard to support a prestigious princess. But not now, I’m too

distracted by beauty, so I can’t focus

on work”

Chloe sighed and caressed the collar of his sweater, but her eyes seemed a bit absent. It was as if she was

completely immersed in her own world, not knowing what she was thinking about

Damon narrowed his eyes and grabbed her hand. His voice was low and husky “What happened?”

Chloe sighed lightly, leaned closer to him, and began to fiddle with the hem of his sweater again. “Granny said the

day after tomorrow is Duke Dubonnet’s granddaughter’s birthday party and asked me to attend.”

Damon raised an eyebrow. “And then?”

Chloe let go of his sweater. Her slender fingers gently slid on the pattern of his sweater. Those three are almost

furious”

She sighed again and said. They looked like they wanted to tear me apart. Their looks were even worse than

Wendy’s”

Damon’s deep voice rang out, ‘Don’t make trouble.”

Chloe’s fingers, which had been wandering on his sweater, paused. “We’re in the palace. How can I make trouble?”

Her fingers tapped on his clothes to express dissatisfaction and protest

The next second, he held her hand I told you not to make trouble here”

Chloe’s eyes flashed, and Damon’s husky voice carried a clear undertone, making her understand something

instantly

She looked at him, saw his eyes full of hidden lust staring at her, and her fingers curled slightly. “Can’t you think of

something else?”

What did she do? Why did he suddenly change like this?

She moved her body, and her face flushed as she tried to get away from him, but the next moment, she was lifted

up and landed on the desk.

Two long arms circled her into his chest. Damon’s face was close at hand. The warm breath hit her face, and the

low, husky voice almost grazed her “The pregnancy check before you came, Jane said it’s already been three

months”

Chloe’s eyelids twitched Her fingers involuntarily grabbed his sweater. Yes congratulations, it’s been three months.”

A warm hand suddenly rested on her abdomen, and gently stroked it. “Yes, congratulations to us both”

Chloe swallowed, unable to help but feel a bit nervous This ‘congratulations made her feel a bit frightened.

Was he congratulating them for becoming parents in seven months? Or was he saying that because after the

three–month pregnancy period, he could finally do as he pleased?

Chapter 1681

Although she didn’t agree with him, she thought, given the situation, it was probably the latter. She tried to bring his

attention back.

“I have to attend a birthday party the day after tomorrow.

“Right, you can rest well tomorrow.”

Chloe was flabbergasted. Was that what she meant?!

“Damon, you should be thinking about how to make money and support the family now! Work is important…”

1 can’t now. Beauty is in front of me, and I can’t help but waver”

His hand began to wander upwards

Chloes scalp tingled, and she clung to Damon’s clothes. Her eyes were trembling, and Damon’s tight expression

reflected in her eyes.

The hand on her body didn’t stop. Her face suddenly turned red, and her breathing rhythm changed. Just because

it’s been three months doesn’t mean you can mess around

Damon chuckled lowly “Mhm”

Chloe lowered her eyes, her face all red.

Tll go with you to the party.”

“Mhm Chloe responded weakly, lying in the soft bedding, not wanting to move at all.

It had been a while, and although she felt that Damon had been careful this time, the afterglow hadn’t passed, and

she didn’t have much strength left

Damon gently squeezed her shoulders. “What’s your game, Chloe? You’ve been stirring the pot these past few

days. What are you hoping to achieve. huh?”

Chloe slowly opened her eyes, and a subtle smile played on her lips. “Obviously, I want them to slip up. Nothing says

‘guilty like catching someone red–handed”
