The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076 

The moment the hospital room door closed, silence fell, filled only with the echo of Crysti’s scornful laugh

Chloe arranged the bouquet of flowers into a beautiful shape and placed them in a vase before finally carrying it out

Crysti didn’t watch her, but her eyes were fixed on the flowers on the cabinet

Do you think they’re pretty?Chloe asked

Yeah.” 

Pity they’ll wilt by tomorrow.” 

That caught Crysti’s attention. What do you mean?” 

Chloe sat by the hospital bed, playing with her watch

Because they’ve lost their roots, and left their mother plant. For them, the water in the vase is only a temporary nourishment, just delaying their wilting process.” 

Crysti was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, Are you here to convince me to compromise with my family or to discuss a collaboration with me?” 

Chloe shrugged, If I could achieve both, that’d be the best outcome for me. Sure, I’m mainly interested in you, but if I can snatch up you as the daughter of the Watson family, that’d be even more thrilling! You have just confronted those two with the attitude of a young lady from the Watson family. I think it won’t be long before you can return to that position.” 

So why bother with this?” 

What would the Watsons owe me if I could help you return to them?” 

Crysti’s eyes widened, Can’t you be a bit more subtle? Why be so blunt?” 

Don’t you get it? Rather than have you guessing and thinking I’m too opportunistic, I’d rather be upfront. At least I’d seem a bit cute then” 

Crysti’s eyes grew wider, full of disbelief. In the end, after pondering for a moment, she burst out laughing. You’re rightBut who would’ve thought, a strong woman like you, wanting to be described as cute?” 

Better than being belittled.” 

Crysti laughed again, You’re actually quite interesting. I can’t figure out why Lance would leave you?” 

Chloe glanced at her, I wasn’t expecting you to be such a tiger. You just got hurt and you want to give me a taste of that as well?” 

Exactly. If you want to collaborate with me, shouldn’t there be some cost?” 

Chloe nodded, Fine, you can talk about him, if it makes you feel better. But I’m not going to wallow with you. I don’t really feel anything about him now.” 

Crysti said with a laugh, I just need to know you’ve dealt with jerks too. It balances me out.” 

Sometimes women do need a bit of a jolt. Without bitter experiences, you never learn right from wrong, and you never grow out of being naive

Reporters were swarming the hospital entrance

Philip, we saw you taking Melinda to the maternity ward. Is she pregnant?” 

Is Melinda’s baby yours?” 

Are you two together?” 

Chloe stood silently in the hospital lobby, watching the interview outside

Melinda was confidently holding Philip’s arm, her smile sweet. Philip and I are getting married soon. Thank you for your concern.” 

So you’re really carrying Philip’s child?” 

Yes.” 

Then congratulations.” 

But what about Crysti who was always by your side, Philip? We thought you two were together.” 

Yeah, you two seemed inseparable. Everyone thought you were official.” 

You never denied the rumors about you two being together! How come you’re suddenly marrying Melinda today?” 

I remember Melinda was with someone else just three months ago.” 

Yeah, so how” 

I remember, Crysti had a car accident near the Reed family’s entertainment company last night. She’s also in this hospital” 

Oh my God, Philip brought Melinda to this hospital for a prenatal check today. Isn’t that a bit too harsh!” 

Philip’s previously kind smile slowly faded. Melinda’s face turned pale

Crysti and I are just colleagues.Eventually, that’s all Philip said that before leaving with Melinda

Chloe smiled faintly, waiting for the reporters to follow them out before leaving the hospital

She never thought Philip was a good guy. His unprincipled support for Keira was enough to make her sick. Now it seemed he was just using women to 

achieve his goals. This kind of man was even worse than Lance

She frowned slightly and laughed coldly. They’re all the same.” 

After leaving the hospital, Chloe called Melvin

Crysti, she’s agreed to cooperate.” 

Melvin was silent for a moment, Really?!”
