The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1722

At that moment, two men came in carrying two baskets of fruit, placing them in front of Chloe. “Red bananas and

oranges, a basket of each”

Chloe glanced at the fruit, a small frown creasing her brow. They were not particularly impressive in size or

appearance. Could the quality of fruit in The Y Country really be this mediocre, even for the royal family?

However, in these past few days, whether it was the fruit from the palace or the fruit Damon specially prepared for

her, even the most random one seemed more appealing than these two baskets of fruit before her

Spotting Chloe’s slight change in expression, Lola snapped at the two men. “You’re delivering to the palace Is this

the best you can do?”

“We sure know they’re for the palace.” the men replied stiffly. “This is the best fruit we have right now“c2

Lola, without a word, turned and retreated into the kitchen She returned holding a banana and an orange These

were picked from the orchard too, right?”

Everyone glanced at the fruit in Lola’s hand, which were indeed superior to any in the baskets. Chloe’s gaze

darkened slightly, then a hint of mockery flickered across her face

Lola continued, “We could’ve sent better fruit to the palace, yet these are what we’re delivering. You two sure got

guts.”

The men shook their heads. We don’t know anything about it. Caden usually takes care of the orchard. You can ask

him

Lolas expression soured slightly, but she called for Caden nonetheless. The person was a rugged man with blonde

hair, blue eyes, and a hooked nose. He was tall, and his chin and sideburns were covered with a beard of the same

color as his hair.

He greeted Chloe respectfully. She nodded, making a slight gesture in the air. Everyone looked puzzled Chloe picked

up her thermal mug and leaned back into the sofa, turning to look at the confused Lola “Why stop now? Weren’t

you going to get to the bottom of this?”

Lola stiffened slightly at Chloe’s words. She turned to Caden and asked in a much softer tone than before, “Are

these really the best fruits the orchard has to offer?”

“Of course. We always send the best to the palace.” Caden’s English had a strange accent, but he was

understandable.

Lola showed him the fruits in her hand. “What about these?”

Caden glanced at the fruit, his beard twitching. After a while, he finally spoke, “Those are for the Lady, aren’t they?

She lives here in the manor, so naturally. she gets the best fruit.”

“So, the fruit delivered to the palace is what’s left after the Lady has had her pick?” Lola frowned, her gaze drifting

to Chloe. She looked somewhat embarrassed. “Well Princess Chloe, I don’t think the Lady means any disrespect.

She probably didn’t think much of it. She certainly didn’t mean for the

palace to have her leftovers”

Chloe sipped her water, her face displaying a smirk that was hard to read “How big is the orchard for this manor?”

Caden replied, “Including the back hill, more than fifty hectares.”

“You manage such a large orchard all by yourself. That must be tough” Chloe praised Caden.

That’s my duty I’m grateful to the royal family for giving me this job. It has solved my family’s financial problems.”

Chloe pointed at the two baskets of fruit These fruits are indeed quite unimpressive But I’m curious, what kind of

creature is this Lady of yours? With” an orchard of more than fifty hectares, she can finish off the best and biggest

fruits in just a few days”

Caden’s beard twitched noticeably again, and he looked at Lola Lola was a bit flustered. The Queen has always

refused to let our Lady into the palace for many years it’s natural for her to hold some resentment

Chloe put the lid back on her thermal mug As she screwed it tightly, she looked at Lola with a smile. “So, are you

implying that your lady is deliberately opposing the royal family, secretly challenging the Queen?”

Chloe’s words were straightforward. “By saying this aren’t you trying to sow discord? Want me to go back and

convey it to my grandmother, and then

what?”

And then what? What are you talking about? Before Lola could respond, a soft gentle voice came from the direction

of the staircase

Chloe looked up This was a woman in her thirties not very tall, with neat hair resting on one shoulder, wearing a

fleece shawi, with a faint smile face She was quite attractive even without makeup. Her gaze landed lightly on Chloe

Lolas expression changed subtly but she managed to hide it well. She turned her head upwards and laughed. The

fruits that were just picked are beng presented for Princess Chlors inspection”

Brisa shifted her gaze to Chloe Chloe nonchalantly said. “That’s right But the quality of these fruits is quite

disappointing. At first, (thought all the fruits from the orchard were like this But then Mrs. Lola here brought out the

same types of frut from the kitchen, and they were much bigger and recen

Brisa, who was descending the stairs suddenly paused. She glanced at the frat in colas hand and immediately knew

what was going on. She continund into the living room glancing at the two out of place baskets in the center, then

sat across from Chice with an indifferent expression.

“The quality of these two baskets of fruit is indeed not impressive Luccasionally heard Caden saying this year i

weather would quarantee a abundance The fruit brought in not long ago did look quite pleasing How is it that in just

a few days it’s all turned out like this

Chice raised an eyebrow, finding Brisas words quite intriguing. After a few seconds of silence the unuled and said,

Cropa depend on Mother Nature’s whim it seems Caden can make mistakes too Since these are the best i take

them back to the palace ”

Brisa gave a slight smile. I’m not feeling well and haven’t been to the orchard if this is this year a yield, then so be

it.”

Chloe glanced at Lola, stood up, and took the two pieces of fruit from her hand, placing them in the basket

“There are still some decent ones Let me take them back with a comparison, I believe my grandmother will most

Upon hearing this, both Lola and Caderis expressions changed

Brisa chuckled. With this year’s harvest like this, what s there to investigate How about this, to save the Queen the

trouble of sending someone for inquiry when you leave later, Take Caden and Lola with you Let them explain to the

Queen properly. This will also serve as vacation for them after all. they are a married couple who due to work

hardly get to spend time together ‘

Then, she changed the subject abruptly, not giving anyone else a chance to speak, and looked directly at dries

saying, “Wh mentioned earhe: that you weren’t feeling well?
