The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1359

Hugo's vacant eyes fluttered and tears made them seem even brighter. "Are we gonna live together?"
Cicely replied softly, "Yes, that's my wish. Do you want that too?"
Hugo nodded vigorously, "I want to live with you too, mom."
Cicely gently patted Hugo's head, her eyes brimming with tenderness and guilt.
In the afternoon, Chloe, aside from helping out and playing games with the kids, sat on the sidelines watching them.
Winston became the girls' hero but was messed around with by the boys all afternoon.
Cicely spent the whole time with Hugo, bathing him, dressing him in new clothes that she had Chloe buy, playing piano with him and chatting with Chloe.
Hugo was becoming more outgoing. For the orphanage's staff, him starting to talk was already a miracle, but today he spoke a lot, even sporting a rare smile.
Perhaps Hugo didn't smile often, hence his smiling face attracted a few pretty little girls to play around him. However, Hugo seemed a bit shy. Hearing the girls' voices, his smile vanished instantly.
Cicely had told Hugo to get along with everyone, but he just pursed his lips, turned his head, and hid in Cicely's or Chloe's arms.
Cicely felt helpless but couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hugo's personality was really similar to Seth's. If there was no woman like the former Cicely who was not afraid of being embarrassed and never gave up no matter how many times she was rejected, would he stay single forever?
Quite likely. Cicely chuckled.
Seth wasn't lacking in women, and it wasn't that he couldn't live without her.
Looking at Hugo's head in her arms, Cicely's melancholy faded a bit. Hugo was still so young, why was she thinking so much?
Rose was also very satisfied today. Looking at all the adorable children, she was looking forward to her own child being born. When the time came, she will give him the best things in the world, she will raise him to be the most outstanding person.
"Chloe, the kids are so cute. I feel that once my child is born, I won't have much energy for others. Just thinking of having a child with me makes me feel so happy."
Chloe replied with a smile, "All kids are angels."
They undoubtedly brought happiness to people. Thinking of the two little angels in her belly, Chloe was filled with joy.
After dinner at the orphanage, they left.
Chloe chatted with them in the car for a bit, then took out her phone to check the news online, wondering if Wendy was making any moves. However, everything was within Chloe's expectations.
What surprised her was that Wendy hadn't made any moves. Reporters were still waiting outside Infinity Media's door, but got no response.
Seeing Chloe constantly on her phone, Yasmine frowned, "Do you know you're pregnant? You're always on your phone. Do you know that phones emit a lot of radiation?"
Chloe looked at Yasmine, then smiled, "It's okay, Damon bought me anti-radiation clothing."
Yasmine was speechless for a while, "That's just treating the symptoms not the cause. Can anti-radiation clothing really block 100% of the radiation? This is nonsense!"
Chloe paused, then just put away her phone. She turned slightly and asked, "Has there been any news from M Country?"
Yasmine glanced at her, "Not yet, might have to wait a few days. You should be concerned about your own matters. Don't worry too much."
Chloe helplessly said, "Mom, can you be a bit nicer to me?"
"No." Yasmine immediately replied, "I just got back and you're already pregnant out of wedlock, I told you not to meet Damon, but you eloped with him in no time. Now you're even living with him without my approval. We haven't settled these issues yet, where do you get the nerve to ask me to be nicer to you?"
Chloe sighed, "Okay, my bad."
Yasmine gave her a cold glance, "Let me tell you, don't think that because you're pregnant now, I have to compromise with you. You're not married, so what if you have kids? You and Damon have nothing to do with each other, do you hear me?"
Chloe silently turned her head, her eyes filled with worry, and she thought to herself, "This is embarrassing. Although Damon and I haven't held a wedding ceremony, we have registered for marriage. We're... married."
Seeing that Chloe didn't respond, Yasmine said seriously again, "Did you hear what I said?"
"I heard you."
To end this conversation as soon as possible, Chloe could only temporarily compromise. If Yasmine knew that she and Damon were already married, she didn't know what she would face next.
"Go home with me tonight," Yasmine said.
"Mom..." Chloe felt a headache coming on.
"Do you think everything I said earlier was nonsense?"
Unable to refute her mother, Chloe could only send Damon a message.
When they arrived at Peck's Manor, a black luxury car was parked outside the gate. Damon was dressed in a slim-fitting trench coat, underneath which was a crisp black suit. His pants were ironed flat and meticulous. His handsome face was cold and expressionless. Noticing the approaching car, he casually lifted his eyes, staring out the car window as if he could read people's minds.
Seeing Damon, Chloe immediately opened the car door and got out. Damon quickly walked over, directly pulling Chloe into his arms.
"Cold?" he asked.
Chloe shook her head with a smile.
Damon held her a bit tighter, then glanced at Yasmine who'd just got out of the car, saying, "I'm gonna take Chloe with me now. Won't be bugging you today, you should hit the hay early too."
Yasmine squinted her eyes and said, "Chloe's staying with me at home these days."
Damon frowned slightly, "Chloe is going through a special time right now and needs care."
