The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1392

"I can't take it anymore!" Nathan couldn't contain his emotions, "I'm not that kind of guy!"
The idea of living a bisexual lifestyle was simply inconceivable for him. How on earth could he do such a thing? What was more, his own brother was doubting him. Was he even his brother anymore?
However, once he had cooled down, he suddenly realized and asked, "If you don't trust me, why'd you drag me out here?"
"To get some fresh air." Damon said.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and Nathan couldn't help but shiver. Standing on the rooftop in the middle of winter? Was he out of his mind?
But in front of his brother, he would never dare to utter such words.
He hugged himself against the chill, standing in front of his brother, his eyes fixated on the park below the hospital building. The trees were evergreen, and a few people were pushing patients around for a walk.
This was the mundanity of life. His expression gradually turned cold, and he shoved his hands into his pockets. His breath was as cold as the icy wind on the rooftop.
"If Grandpa Presley was firmly against you and Chloe, what would you do?" Nathan asked.
"No one has the right to interfere with my affairs." Damon said.
"So you're just gonna wait?" Nathan asked.
"That's not for me to decide." Damon replied calmly, "If he thinks this lifestyle is what he wants."
The decision was not in his hands.
Nathan took a deep breath, "Bro, any news from Mom and Dad?"
Damon couldn't answer.
"Mom used to nag all the time, and I found her annoying. But now I haven't even let her see her grandkid, I suddenly feel so guilty." Nathan said.
Damon shot him a cold glance, "Isn't Anya your child?"
Nathan frowned, "Anya is Yulia's sister! How many times do I have to tell you? You guys are in cahoots, aren't you? You all keep saying this, making me almost believe that Anya is my child."
Damon stared at him intently.
Nathan suddenly felt a chill. That look made him feel like a complete fool.
"There's still no news about Mom and Dad, and you seem indifferent. Are you still their son? You're acting like I'm just putting on a show by being upset." Nathan said.
He had always behaved according to his brother's reactions since childhood, and now, even when their parents were in this situation, he couldn't quite adjust his emotions.
"Well then, cry." Damon said indifferently.
Nathan was speechless.
As the two brothers made their way down, Chloe and Yulia were chatting on the chairs outside the ward. Anya was sitting in Chloe's lap, swinging her little legs as Chloe was fixing her hair.
"Grandpa Presley's stubbornness is his problem. It won't affect my decision." Chloe said lightly, with Yulia nodding in agreement.
"Don't take it to heart. He is just too stubborn, unless he can figure it out by himself." Yulia said.
"He can't." Chloe interrupted, fixing Anya's braids. Her voice was calm and light," Damon's parents are in trouble and he hasn't even realized his fault in the situation. I can't say I'm blameless either. I was stubborn, especially about being with Damon. If I had compromised back then, I don't think this would've happened."
Yulia's face softened," It's not your fault."
Damon heard Chloe's words from a distance, his face darkening. What he had been worried about was finally happening.
These past few days, he had been trying to distract her, but he couldn't stop her sensitive mind. What was she going to do next then? Was she thinking of leaving him?
"No, I'm at fault, Yulia." Chloe shook her head," As much as I regret it, if I had to choose again, I would make the same choices. I would be sad if I left Damon, and Damon wouldn't let me leave halfway. Now that this has happened, and all I can do is pray for his parents to be safe."
Damon's face lightened a bit.
"Smart women, who are always so emotionally intelligent in love, can make life easier." Nathan's words were filled with envy and admiration, but when his gaze landed on Yulia, his expression quickly turned sour.
When Yulia noticed the sound and turned to look at him, meeting his gaze with a plain and unresponsive manner, Nathan felt a surge of anger well up inside him. Was he a block of wood or a pillar? She had no reaction to him at all?
These past few days, there had been too much of that. Too much that it was becoming increasingly annoying. But then, every time they were in bed, her confused and sultry demeanor made her seem like a completely different person.
What did she think of him? A source of entertainment?
A sudden flame of anger ignited within Nathan, and Damon glanced at him, a smirk playing on his lips.
“Served him right.” Damon thought.
Damon walked over to Chloe and sat down next to her. Anya, who was sitting on Chloe's lap, wiggled her little head, and gazed up at Damon with a beaming smile. Her childish voice sounded soft and sweet, "Damon, am I pretty?"
Damon looked at her indifferently, "So-so."
Anya blinked, her face showing signs of hurt. She wasn't praised as being pretty.
"These are the braids that Chloe made for me." Anya said.
Just as Anya was on the brink of tears, Damon finally added, "Very pretty."
Yulia took Anya from Chloe's lap. She was certain that Damon’s praise was not sincere. If not for Chloe’s work, even if Anya cried her heart out, she didn't think Damon would complement her.
Chloe stood up, "Are we done then?"
"Yes." Damon pulled her into his arms, "I'll take you to rest."
As they walked past Nathan, Chloe looked at his swollen cheekbone and the bruise on it, and gave him an apologetic smile. "Consider it a massage."
Nathan rolled his eyes dramatically.
He thought he was going to avoid getting hit today, but just before they left, his brother had landed a solid punch on his face.
After their fight, Damon even had the nerve to mock, "Leaving a few scars might just be the proof to Chloe that we've had a tussle," nearly causing Nathan to have a stroke with anger right on the rooftop.
As Damon and Chloe just stepped through the hospital room door, they saw Nate hurrying over, "Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper."
Damon responded indifferently, leading Chloe into the room first. Nate followed in, addressing Chloe straightaway, "Mrs. Harper, your mother's been looking for you, hoping you could swing by home soon."
With this prompt, Chloe suddenly remembered that she had promised her mother to visit her sometime.
She totally spaced on it. She pulled out her phone, hoping to give her mom a quick call back, only to find that her phone had died ages ago.
