The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243

Stanley's gaze lingered on Wendy's face for a moment, Grace hastily shielding it with her hand.

“What the hell are you guys up to? If you're planning any funny business, the Alonso family won't let you get away with it!"

Stanley frowned. "Relax, your daughter is so ugly, she can't even hold a candle to Chloe's toenail! Stop daydreaming.

What guy would be interested in her?"

“Hah...” Ned couldn't help but chuckle. Sometimes hanging with Stanley meant not only dealing with his moody, hot-tempered nature but also enduring his sudden, cold jokes.

Stanley shot him a look. "What's so funny?"

Ned nodded. "I mean, I think even a madman wouldn't wanna... touch a toenail."

Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Fair point.

Wendy was about to blow her top! She was less than Chloe's toenail? She was a lady of the Alonso family!

“No wonder Damon chose Chloe.’ Stanley shook his head, then got into his car.

It wasn't until the cars had slowly driven away that Grace and Wendy stood up.

“Where did this bully come from? Figures that anyone associated with Chloe is no good.” Grace was so mad she could chew nails! In just a few days, she had come to loathe Chloe to the bone.

“Mom, the car... our bags and phones were all in it, and we're still miles away from the Harper family. Are we supposed to walk back?"

"What else can we do?"

Wendy's face fell. These past few days, due to Damon's engagement, her injuries had barely healed. And now she had to walk back to the Harper family with the pain. What was it that kept her going?

‘Damon, do you know who loves you the most in this world?"

But there was nothing they could do right now but walk back to the Harper family, step by step.

Today was a very important day! Because today, the focus wasn't Chloe, but Wendy!

Due to Stanley's behavior, Chloe sat at the breakfast table, predictably getting an earful from Presley. She kept quiet, eating her breakfast as she listened. She was already rattled because of Stanley, and Presley's reprimanding was just adding fuel to the fire.

She tried to control her emotions, not wanting to blow up on what should be the happiest day of her life so far. Just had to bear it a bit longer, get through today, and perhaps she wouldn't see Presley for a long time.

But Presley's voice was really grating, and Elizabeth automatically blocked out his voice and put a sandwich into Chloe's hand. "Eat up, you'll need your strength today"

"Because you're a really good mother.’ Chloe's eyes sparkled. "There were so many times after losing my mom when I wanted to rely on her... I felt that if she were by my side, all the problems I faced wouldn't be problems. Over the years, I've endured so much, but I often thought that if my mom were here, things would be easier."

Elizabeth patted Chloe's arm gently. "You can rely on me from now on. I always wanted a daughter, but instead I got two troublemakers!"

Chloe laughed. "Troublemakers? Your sons will give you lots of grandkids."

“That's why I said they're troublemakers. What if they bring home a wife I can't stand? What if they marry a troublesome woman and drive me to my grave?"

Chloe's voice softened. "Do you find me easy to get along with?"

“Mhm, very much so! If you give me lots of grandkids, I'll like you even more!"

“Thank you so much. So far, only grandpa disapproves of me, which is the best-case scenario I could hope for. You've argued with him numerous times for my sake...

“You don't have to thank me, I've got my head screwed on right, I know what's what. Most importantly, you're the one Damon chose. By helping you, I'm essentially helping my son. I’m not blind to that fact. I haven't really hashed this out with you, but Damon was raised in the lap of luxury as part of the Harper family. He's a bit immature when it comes to taking care of himself. So, I'm counting on you to look out for him. As for his personaiity.."

Elizabeth knitted her brows, looking quite peeved. "Ina nutshell, he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder. He's standoffish, likes to give people the cold shoulder, and it's like pulling teeth to have a deep conversation with him. He acts like every word costs him a buck!"

"Ha!"

Chloe couldn't help but burst out laughing again. Talking as if it cost money? Who roasted their own kid like this?
