The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1702

Fiona called out behind her, but she didn’t stop on her tracks and hurriedly followed after her. As soon as Chloe

stepped outside, she saw Damon. He was standing there, waiting for her.

Chloe opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Fiona, who came running up behind her.

“Chloe!” Her breath was ragged from the run. She tilted her head to look at her, but Fiona snatched the little thing

from her arms. “Why are you in such a rush? This is mine.”

The warm sensation in her arms was gone, replaced by the emptiness. Chloe watched as Fiona cradled the small

object in her arms.

Fiona turned her body away protectively. “I knew something was off about you. What are you up to? Are you having

second thoughts about the gift?”

Damon had reached her by this time, and Chloe’s gaze immediately shifted from the object in Fiona’s arms to

Damon d2

He paused, glancing at Chloe before turning his gaze elsewhere. To outsiders, it looked like nothing was wrong, but

Damon alone knew the accusations and grievances hidden in Chloe’s eyes.

Fiona, oblivious to the drama unfolding between Chloe and Damon, looked at them and said, “So you’re not

sleeping with me tonight?”

Damon shot her a sideways glance. Fiona rolled her eyes and made a face. “Sleeping next to a man is overrated.

Fine, you can leave. ‘i

go see you tomorrow.”

“Fiona Mrs Dubonnet, who had followed them out, scolded Fiona for her casual attitude.

Fiona huffed and turned back towards the living room. Mrs. Dubonnet apologized to Damon and Chloe before

escorting them out.

Chloe, wrapped tightly in Damon’s arm, took the passenger seat in the car, remaining silent.

Damon, who was driving, was the one feeling uneasy. “Didn’t you have fun tonight?” Although it might seem a bit

intentional, someone always had to break the current awkwardness by speaking up.

Chloe leaned back in her seat, giving him a gloomy look.

Damon pursed his lips. “What’s wrong?”

Without answering. Chloe pulled out her phone and started scrolling through it. Soon, a cheery song filled the car.

Just from the intro, Damon could tell it wasn’t Chloe’s style.

When the lyrics started, Damon’s grip on the steering wheel wavered.

“Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur

Damon couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Chloe, on the other hand, didn’t even spare him a glance.

She stared out the window, seemingly enjoying the music, leaving Damon helpless.

“Let me explain.”

Chloe remained unmoved.

“It wasn’t my idea. It was Nate’s.”

Chloe didn’t turn to look at him, but responded, “Nate is indeed useful. He’s always there when needed.”

Damon rubbed his forehead. “It was really him.”

“So why hasn’t he found a girlfriend with all his charm?” Chloe’s tone was noticeably irritated.

Damon was quiet for a moment “Maybe it’s time for him to find someone.”

“Right He’s spent all these years helping you charm women Chloe paused before suddenly turning to look at

Damon, her eyebrow raised “Did you pursue me on your own, or did Nate come up with the idea? Should I be your

girlfriend, or should I be Nate’s

The car abruptly pulled over Damon turned to Chloe, his expression darkened “What did you say? Say it again

Chloe froze, not daring to speak She looked down at her phone and turned the music up to its maximum volume

The lyrics seemed to defuse Damon’s anger. A moment later, he sighed and said, ‘Of course it was me who

pursued you. If you don’t believe me, just ask the twins in your belly”

Chloe moved her lips, but didn’t speak. She knew the truth. But was that the real issue?

“Why didn’t you tell me the gift was that.”

Damon gave a helpless look. “If you knew what the gift was, would you have given it away?”

“You knew I would like it? You weren’t planning on giving it to me?!”

“Don’t you like alpacas?”

“Just because I like alpacas doesn’t mean I can’t like kittens.”

The lyrics played on: “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur…”

Damon’s brow twitched. “Do you want a human–shaped cat?”

Chloe turned to look at him, blinking in confusion. “Huh?”

Damon reached out, tapping her forehead. Then, under Chloe’s gaze, he pulled her closer and kissed her lips,

lingering for a moment.

Chloe froze, realizing what Damon was suggesting.

Damon’s deep voice echoed in the car. “Do you want me, the human–shaped cat?”

Chloe blushed. She pushed against his chest, her face turning crimson. “No, no. You’re not soft or cute, and you

can’t meow. What would I want you for?”

Damon raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to whisper in her ear. His hot breath lingered, then a soft sound echoed in

her ear it was light, like a feather, but it exploded like a bomb in Chloe’s ear She sat there, stunned, as if she had

been blown to the moon and back. It took a while before she finally regained her senses. “You you.”

Damon looked slightly embarrassed but decided to take control of the situation. “So do you want me or not?”

Chloe blinked a few times, slowly regaining her senses. A small crease formed between her brows as she said,

“What did you just do? Do it again, then I’ll decide.”

Damon let go of her, silently restarting the car’s engine.

Sensing Darmon’s sudden silence, Chloe hurriedly said, “Why aren’t you speaking? What was that thing you did? I

haven’t made a decision yet. Do it again, this time I’ll truly pay attention.”
