Chapter 1332
She went downstairs to open the door, and there stood Nate, who she had just seen earlier today.
Chloe’s eyes were still a bit swollen, and the faint redness around them stood out on her face. The first sight of Chloe made Nate’s heart skip a beat.
One thought played over and over in his head – She’d been crying, she’d been crying, she’d been crying.
Who on earth had made her so upset?! And he’d seen it. This was definitely something he needed to tell Mr. Harper about.
Then Mr. Harper would be pissed, and he’d be the one who’d get screwed!
So, she’d been crying, and he was the one who would bear the consequences. Nate sent a silent prayer to the heavens but put on a smile and said, “Mrs. Harper, good day”
Chloe nodded. “Nate, what’s up?”
Nate immediately stepped aside to let someone in from outside. “He’s the chef Mr. Harper asked me to bring from the restaurant. He’ll be preparing your lunch today.
“Ms. Summers……Mrs. Harper, hi there.” The chef was a plump man who didn’t seem too old. On seeing Chloe, he nervously greeted her.
He still wasn’t quite used to addressing her. He hadn’t quite caught on to Nate’s way of addressing her. He knew about Ms. Summers from Starlight International and had heard about her engagement ceremony with Damon.
But hadn’t they just had their engagement party? How did Ms. Summers become “Mrs. Harper“?
Then he thought about it and realized she was about to become Mrs. Harper, so even though they were just engaged, it wasn’t inappropriate to address her as Mrs. Harper.
“…Hi.” It took Chloe a while to respond. Nate noticed something was off about her tone and immediately felt a twitch in his eyelid.
She had cried! Mrs. Harper had actually cried.
His gaze immediately turned to the chef beside him. What the hell had this chubby chef done to make Mrs. Harper cry?!
The chubby chef shuddered in fear, and his face was a mix of innocence and panic. Had he done something wrong?
Damon’s thoughtful arrangement had touched her deeply, but she quickly realized her lapse and turned around to sniffle quietly.
At that moment, her phone in her pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Seth.
[Just finished my meeting, what’s up?]
Chloe rubbed her nose and texted back – [Does your company need any new talents?]
Seth – [Nope.]
Chloe bit her lip lightly- [You sure about that? One can never have too many soldiers, right?]
Seth – [I don’t need talents from Infinity Media.]
Chloe frowned – [How’d you know?]
Seth – [What do you think I do for a living?]
Chloe – [You run an entertainment company.]
Then she immediately texted back – [But what does that have to do with you knowing what I’m planning?]
Seth – [Do you think you’re the only one with a brain?]
Chloe was getting annoyed. Was she being provoked continuously today? Such a disrespectful attitude, had he and Cicely come to an agreement to treat her rudely?
Chloe – [My company can’t accommodate everyone, I’ll let you take some.]
Seth – [I don’t want them.]
Chloe clenched her phone – [Refuse my goodwill, then get ready for my punishment.]
Seth – [I’m waiting.]
Chloe could feel his blatant disdain.
From behind, she could hear Nate and the chef whispering, “You’re some piece of work, making Mrs. Harper cry just after meeting her.”
“Nate, I really didn’t do anything. You saw everything, didn’t you?”
“I’m definitely telling Mr. Harper about this.”
“Nate, I really don’t know what’s going on.”
Nate sighed softly, patting the chubby chef’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’m sure Mr. Harper will get to the bottom of this. Go make lunch now, maybe your cooking will cheer Mrs. Harper up.”
“Okay, I’m on it!”
The chubby chef, carrying two bags of ingredients, went into the kitchen. Chloe glanced at Seth’s reply on her phone.
“Nate…” she called out to Nate.
She turned around, startling Nate so much he almost fell over. “Mrs. Harper…”
Nate looked horrified; he had no clue what had happened in such a short time. Who could tell him why Mrs. Harper was crying so sadly? She used to be so strong!
Could being pregnant really have such a big impact? Turning a strong woman into a fragile being?
Chloe’s eyes were red and wet with tears, her pain so evident. A single word from the chubby chef couldn’t have possibly caused this.
Chloe wiped her tears and said to Nate, “I’m fine. It has nothing to do with the chef or you, don’t worry.”
Nate awkwardly nodded, watching as Chloe finished speaking and went upstairs alone.
Seeing Chloe like this, how could Nate stay calm? She was pregnant now, and if a pregnant woman’s emotions weren’t taken care of, it could lead to irreversible consequences.
This was, of course, very serious.
Watching Chloe’s figure disappear up the staircase, he immediately took out his phone to call Damon.
“What’s up?”
Nate looked serious. “Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper was crying a lot today. I don’t know why, but it seemed like someone had upset her.”
Damon, who was currently sitting in his office, pen in hand, writing something, paused when he heard this. His voice immediately turned cold. “You don’t know why?”
Everyone in the office immediately lowered their heads. They were worried about being implicated.
Nate felt a chill. “Yes, we just came in and saw Mrs. Harper’s eyes were red, we don’t know what happened…”
Damon’s face was all knotted up. “Who has she seen today?”
“When we arrived, it seemed like Mrs. Harper was the only one in the apartment. She said she was fine, but I thought I should let you know. After all, she’s pregnant now, and her mood’s a big deal.”
At that, Damon, dropped everything, grabbed his phone, and said, “I’m heading back right now. Keep an eye on her.”
“Sure thing!”
After hanging up, Nate felt a weight lift off his shoulders. He was chuffed, feeling like he did something super important. He felt his spine straighten up.
He knew Mr. Harper was up to his neck in a collaboration project with PrimeVision. As an assistant, he knew how much this project meant to the Harper Group, and to Mr. Harper himself.
But he also knew one thing for sure-
In Mr. Harper’s eyes, even if the world was going to hell in a handbasket, Mrs. Harper was first priority.
And with her emotions going haywire, wasn’t this practically like the apocalypse? In that moment, Nate felt like he just saved the world.
Damon bolted from the meeting, leaving a room full of puzzled faces.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
