The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 881

“Do you know, Penny’s been badmouthing you to your dad, saying you shouldn’t take over the family business.

You’re quite the bigger person, huh.”

Phoebe didn’t answer, just shrugged, “I don’t really care anymore. My sister is definitely competent. I admit I’m not

as good as her, and I don’t need to make life so hard on myself. If I really went for it, I wouldn’t have time to hang

out with you.”

Angie quickly took Phoebe’s arm, “You’ve still got your research to finish. Plus, I’m not such a party animal. If you

really want to do your own thing, I won’t cling on to you.”

“But I still want to be with you all the time.”

“Haha…”

Chloe watched these two good friends, feeling a warmth in her heart.

In this complex high society, there was still such innocent friendship. She hoped this friendship could last forever.

Chloe sighed softly, looking at Angie, and whispered.

“Do you know, Damon’s mother is coming back the day after tomorrow?”

The smile on Angie’s face froze instantly, her small face twitched twice. “She’s coming back?”

Phoebe swallowed hard, her face turning a little pale.

Seeing Angie and Phoebe’s reactions, Chloe couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

What was going on?

Why did they react so strongly when it came to Damon’s mother?

What kind of person was she?

“What’s with your reactions?”

Angie slowly looked up at Chloe with sympathy, “She… Actually… she’s not that bad.”

Chloe’s face gradually became serious, they were all acting like this, and yet they said, “she’s not that bad“?

Angie never reacted like this in front of Presley, but when it came to Damon’s mother, they seemed to have been

struck by lightning.

Was she really that terrifying?

As Chloe was pondering this, Angie and Phoebe were beginning to feel restless.

“We won’t disturb your rest then. Get well soon.”

With that, the two of them hurriedly headed out of the ward.

It wasn’t until dusk that Damon returned to the ward.

Chloe was standing by the window, her arms crossed in front of her, one hand slightly bent, her fingernail lightly

resting on her lips, her expression somewhat heavy, as if she was thinking about something.

Her tall, slender figure was wrapped in a large hospital gown, looking a little petite.

Her hair was tied back, revealing a pair of small ears. She stood there, her beautiful profile looking somewhat

serious, her long eyelashes fluttering unconsciously. The aloof and indifferent aura she emitted, along with her non–

competitive elegance, were unmatched by anyone in this world.

She always exuded this unique aura unintentionally.

He walked up to her, bent down to pick her up.

“Ah…”

Chloe was suddenly lifted, she let out a small cry, then felt a familiar scent enter her nostrils, and she held onto the

man’s shoulders tightly.

She looked up at him, surprise on her face.

“When did you get here?” she asked.

Damon glanced at her, then put her on the bed.

“What were you thinking about just now?” he asked.

Chloe lowered her head, “I was thinking about your mother.”

Seeing her troubled by this, Damon sighed softly.

“Just be yourself,” he said.

Chloe shrugged, and sighed, guess that’s all she could do.

The next morning, Damon had the doctor change Chloe’s medicine, then brought her back to the Harper family.

Presley had breakfast early and was not in the living room at that moment.

A hearty breakfast and various nutritional soups had been prepared in the kitchen.

Chloe was a little at a loss.

Just how much did the Harpers value her? Her little injury, with this kind of treatment, always made her feel uneasy.

After breakfast, Presley came back from outside, probably from a walk.

He saw Damon and Chloe coming out of the dining room, glanced at Chloe’s knee, seeing it didn’t seem to affect

her walking, so he turned away.

The two greeted Presley, Chloe sighed.

“Damon, we rarely come to Hong Kong, I want to go out and wander around… it’s too boring at home.”

She leaned closer to Damon, deliberately lowering her voice.

“Your leg.” Damon replied, clearly refusing.

“No problem, your grandfather’s soup really works, it’s much better now.”

Chloe said, trying to please Presley in passing.

Presley looked at her, seemed very upset, but didn’t say anything.

Damon looked at her, he knew what she was up to.

But seeing her hopeful eyes, he gave in, “I’ll go with you.”

Chloe smiled, “Then I’ll buy you clothes.”

Interest flashed in Damon’s eyes, “Okay.”

Watching them flirting, Presley felt a little helpless, sighing deeply.

“What’s going on? A woman goes shopping, and the man follows, is this normal? Weren’t you supposed to go back

to P City? Have you sorted out the company’s affairs here? Don’t let others take advantage of the situation.”

Damon frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Chloe felt there must have been some serious business in the company. She smiled and said,

“Maybe I should help you with work.”

“Oh, always following him around. He’s busy making money, and you want to go out and spend it. Just go shopping

if you want! Can’t stand being apart for a moment. I’ll find someone to go with you.”

After Presley finished speaking, he called James to hand over his phone.
