The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1387

Then he warmed her feet with his palms and said, looking up at her, "You should be more careful. Stop running around barefoot, or else I'll cut off your feet."
Chloe didn't believe his threat, but she still let him hold her feet, making them warm. Seeing his expression, she believed he wasn't lying to her. Presley should be safe for now.
"So…" Chloe spoke up.
Damon looked at her casually, "How many more things do you have on your mind? Shouldn't you give your silly brain a break?"
Chloe blinked. Was he mocking her? He actually had the nerve to mock her?!
She was actually pretty smart, okay?
"I’m not that stupid as you think." Chloe suddenly stopped, realizing the meaning in Damon's words. He was mocking her slow reactions.
She pulled her feet back and hid them under the blanket. Then Damon stood up and sat by the bed.
"How is he doing now?" Chloe asked.
"He's in the ICU now. We'll see how it goes in 24 hours."
Chloe nodded. She believed he would be fine. After all, there were so many professional doctors taking care of him. There shouldn't be any major issues.
"When did he come out last night? You said you would tell me right away.” Chloe said.
Damon smiled, "I was going to tell you last night, but you were sleeping so soundly. I couldn't resist and slept with you."
Chloe raised an eyebrow. He slept with her?
She didn't remember anything. She didn't get drunk. She had just slept normally. How could she not have felt it?
She looked at him, "You're lying." She didn't trust him.
Then Damon laughed, and Chloe heard some tiredness in his laughter. She looked at him and saw some dark circles under his eyes. She was even more certain that he was lying.
Suddenly, she felt a little sympathy for him. She softly said, "I'm still a bit sleepy."
Damon looked at her for a few seconds. "You can continue sleeping."
"But I hope you can hold me." Chloe said, unbuttoning his suit jacket and taking it off.
The bed in the hospital room was very comfortable and spacious. Damon was practically pulled onto the bed by Chloe. She then nestled into his chest, finding a comfortable position to lay her head.
Damon could hardly move, just letting her lean on him until she calmed down. His waist was tightly wrapped by her, as if worried he might run away. He simply stretched out his arms and held her tightly.
The room was silent. Chloe's breathing gradually became even. Damon held her, watching the woman in his arms sleep, and gently kissed her hair.
He knew she did this intentionally. Her anxiety and confusion, he had felt it last night. He told her it was okay, but she didn't believe him.
He felt helpless, too. He couldn't describe how he felt then. They both knew each other's confusion and insecurity, but they couldn't do anything about it. This experience left him at a loss.
Several times in the night, he saw her sleepy eyes close and open, open and close. It was not until he saw her truly fall asleep, that he was completely at ease.
He liked that she was jealous for him, worried about him, and cared for him. But he never thought he would encounter such an unexpected accident that made her worry so much. He really didn't know what to do with her. Nothing seemed enough to give her.
She was completely honest with him, unreserved. Anyway, he had to bear her honesty towards him.
Actually, for him, staying up all night was nothing. It was just that too many things happened last night. For her little thought of letting him rest well, he closed his eyes.
Anyway, there was nothing else.
-
The news of the Harper family's private plane crash was suppressed. There was still no mention of this incident on the internet. But it wasn't Damon who suppressed the news.
Nate found it strange when he was investigating. After a little check, he found out that it was Robin who arranged for someone to suppress the news.
As a member of the Harper family, this action seemed normal on the surface, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed suspicious. He had never done this when something happened before.
But Damon instructed Nate not to worry about it for now, just to make sure the news of Presley's serious illness was suppressed.
Nate acted exactly according to his instructions.
With these two big news suppressed, the internet was still focusing on the previous hot topics.
#Wendy#, #Alonso Corporation#, #Alonso Corporation Stock Trend#
Topics related to the Alonso family came one after another.
In the following days, Alonso Corporation went through a roller coaster ride.
The stock market had been limit down for two consecutive days, and assets shrank by 10% in two days.
If this continued, Alonso Corporation could really fall from the top and become a joke.
Cole couldn't explain to the shareholders, he could only helplessly announce the fact that the company's assets were shrinking, and that nearly a billion dollars in funds disappeared in the stock market.
This figure threw the entire Alonso Corporation into chaos. Alonso Corporation was always a stable company, but now it was in trouble, which was a pity to everyone. At the same time, they were always on guard against themselves, not to provoke Yasmine and Chloe in P City.
When women decided to take action, they could become very powerful. In front of these two women, one couldn’t show any weaknesses, nor could they become enemies with them. Otherwise, once they made a mistake, they would be ruthlessly knocked down by them.
But in the business world, who wasn't taking risks to move forward? No one could claim to be flawless; it was impossible. Therefore, it was best to avoid Chloe and her mother as much as possible.
But the silver lining here was that right now, this mother-daughter duo's main focus was on Alonso Corporation.
These past few days, the stock market had barely opened and Alonso Corporation's stocks had already hit rock bottom.
They had lost nearly a billion bucks, and the stocks kept going downhill. Cole was just at his wits' end, and the folks working at Alonso Corporation were scared out of their wits.
