Cicely’s gazes went blank for a moment, unable to respond.
Seeing her like this, Seth smiled faintly, his sarcastic tone making Cicely feel slightly awkward. “You’re acting uninterested in me yet hoping I’d sacrifice for others because of you…”
Cicely frowned, avoiding Seth’s handsome face and the close proximity between them. Seth’s gaze rested on her smooth forehead, his voice cold, but his breath warm against her skin. “I’ve already rejected her once today, and tonight she clearly brought Mr. Harper to stir up trouble. Did you know? If I had agreed in the daytime, she might have offered me a couple of talented artists, but now… How many do you think she’ll arrange for me?”
You rejected my kindness, then you must accept my punishment.
Every word Chloe spoke came true.
Cicely, however, just laughed at him, “After all, she’s your friend’s woman and now pregnant, don’t you think you should lend a hand?”
“Whether I should help her or not is my business, why do you need to remind me of these things?”

Cicely clamped her mouth shut, placing her hand on his shoulder, “You’re overthinking, I’m just looking out for my boss‘ interests.”
Seth laughed coldly, “Are you sure I’ll protect you and then help others gain benefits?”
“That’s your business.” With that, she pushed him hard, trying to shove him away.
But Seth stepped back before her, straightened up, and coldly eyed Chloe. “Since you mentioned what happened during the day, I agree. You sort out your husband’s problem first.
Damon frowned, his piercing gaze still dangerously on Cicely. Seth moved forward a couple of steps, subtly blocking Damon’s line of sight to Chloe. “If this continues, not many people can tolerate it, are you sure… you don’t need to solve this problem?”
Seth’s words made Chloe feel a bit awkward; she tugged at the corner of her mouth. She had a hunch that Cicely might be doing this on purpose, just to help her deal with Seth/

This had nothing to do with what happened during the day, she just brought it up at the right time, getting Seth to agree, and that was enough. But Seth was unpredictable, and she wasn’t sure he would agree.
Although even if it failed, she still had Damon to help her.
She didn’t expect him to agree; having her tactics exposed was indeed a bit awkward. After thinking for a while, she glanced at Seth again. This guy can be really smart sometimes.
Fortunately, his relationship with Damon wasn’t bad enough make him her enemy. She felt confident dealing with Wendy, but if it was Seth that would really be a challenge.
Chloe gently stroked the back of Damon’s neck. At first, Damon ignored her. But after she stroked him a few more times, Damon looked down at her. His eyes were filled with coldness, making people afraid.
“Don’t be angry. Seth has agreed, and Cicely was trying to help me.”
Damon immediately frowned, “What did you say?”
His words were sharp and cold, making people afraid. But before Chloe could explain, Damon seemed to understand. “Do you think I can’t handle this, and need her to help you?”
Crap. This might have hurt his pride.
Chloe immediately shook her head, “No, it was a temporary decision by her, but since the goal has been achieved, let’s just drop it…”
Chloe’s explanation did not help at all. Seeing his increasingly serious expression, she paused, her eyes showing a bit of grievance.
“It’s not my fault… you’re so mad… it’s scary…”

Hearing this, Damon moved his lips slightly and looked down at Chloe in his arms. Real grievance and pitifulness were showing on her face. His eyebrows twitched slightly, his anger gradually subsiding. Although his face was still grim, it was much better than before, and his voice also softened. “Alright, I won’t be mad, nor scary.”
Chloe’s lips moved slightly, but she still looked hurt, and whispered, “Cicely was just trying to help…”
“Stop mentioning this, or I’ll really kill her.” Damon tried to restrain his inner anger, and it felt like Cicely had “died” several times in his words.
“I won’t talk about it anymore. I won’t.” Chloe immediately complied. She looked at the food on the table, then at Damon, whispering, “I’m hungry.”
Damon sighed, holding her as he turned around, adjusted the chair with one hand, then let Chloe sit. “Eat.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
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...
