The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280

Around four or five in the afternoon, Chloe was hit by hunger again.

While going for a bathroom break, she bumped into two secretaries at the front desk, who were casually chatting and cleaning some stuff.

"Who would've guessed that our Ms. Summers' fiancé is the CEO of the Harper Group..."

"Right? I never saw it coming. Compared to the previous Mr. Olson, it feels like she really hit the jackpot."

"But alas, the Harper family isn’t a walk in the park. It's still up in the air whether Ms. Summers and the CEO will actually tie the knot... Oh, Ms. Summers."

One of the secretaries noticed Chloe, and they both instantly became tense.

Chloe overheard their chit-chat. They didn't say anything bad, but they mentioned a few things that could've potentially been hurtful.

Chloe nodded, then walked towards the sink, but her gaze was fixed on the two boxes of cherry tomatoes in their hands.

One of the secretaries quickly handed the two boxes of cherry tomatoes to Chloe, and politely asked, "Ms. Summers, would you...

like some?"

Chloe looked for a while, then suddenly reached out and took one of the boxes. "Thanks."

The secretaries were speechless. They initially just wanted Chloe to try some, thinking that with her high status, she probably wouldn't want to eat their food. How could they've ever imagined that Chloe would actually like their common food?

They thought, if the boss actually took one or two to taste, that would already be pushing it. But Chloe just straight up took a whole box.

Back in the office, Chloe started eating the box of cherry tomatoes.

With the first bite, Chloe thought, this might've been one of the best things she'd ever tasted.

While working, Chloe kept eating, and before she knew it, the whole box of cherry tomatoes was gone, and it was about time to clock off.

She still rode home in Winston's car. Since she had a box of cherry tomatoes in the afternoon, she got her appetite going. There were several heavy-tasting dishes on the dinner table, and Chloe ate a lot.

Yasmine looked at her and couldn't help saying, "What's up with you lately? You're eating more and sleeping more."

Chloe paused, then said, "It's because Lilian's cooking is good."

"Why are you sleeping so much then? Is it because the bed here is comfy?"

"It's fine."

At ten in the evening, Chloe was ready for bed after taking a bath.

Suddenly, Rose called. "Chloe, you heartless creature. You actually left me alone in the Harper family. You don't even care about me!"

Chloe responded, "...are you okay?"

"You did forget about me!" Rose said angrily, making Chloe's ears buzz.

"I don't care, I'm coming over right now. Make sure you open the door for me."

Chloe asked surprisedly, "You're coming now?"

"Yes, I'm on my way."

“Then I'll call the doorman. Have you eaten?"

"I haven't had dinner!" Rose's reply had a hint of annoyance.

Chloe was speechless. "...do you want to have some porcini mushroom soup?"

"Yes!"

"I'll prepare it in the kitchen"

"What are you thinking? This is just for you."

Chloe was speechless.

"I noticed something was off about you for a while, so I prepared this for you before coming today, just in case"

Chloe looked at the instructions for use on the pregnancy test, and upon hearing Rose's words, caught onto the key phrase. "What do you mean just in case?"

"That's..."

Rose's smile froze. "Just go test it already."

Chloe was pushed into the bathroom. Five minutes later, she came out with the pregnancy test.

Rose rushed over immediately. "What does it show? What is it?"

Chloe showed Rose the result of the pregnancy test.

"Two lines?" Rose's eyes widened, she was so excited she almost screamed!

Chloe quickly made a shushing gesture. Then she slowly placed her hand over her chest, looking at the almost crying Rose. "Rose, I'm really pregnant!"

“Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" Rose looked at Chloe excitedly, her mood even more excited than when she found out she was pregnant herself.

Indeed, the feeling of knowing she was pregnant then, compared to now, was still an indescribable complexity. Happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, confusion, avoidance...

But Chloe's was a different story. After everything she'd been through, and finally bumping into the right guy, Rose couldn't be happier for her.

The two of them were hugging it out in the bathroom, all excited.

Even though they tried keeping their voices down, they were still making quite a racket.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Yasmine's icy voice. "What on earth are you doing in the bathroom in the middle of the night?"
