The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1437

Chapter 1437 

“Really?” Julia stared at Ava, her reply was so calm, and there was no hint of emotion in her voice or her face. 

Ava forced a smile, trying to appear relaxed. She had nothing to hide. A song didn’t prove anything. And as long as she was here, she’d do everything she could to stop Chloe from getting a DNA test. 

“Yes, so we should be suspicious of Ms. Chloe…” 

“She never intended to prove anything. She made that clear to Barbara. I just happened to know the song she played. If Becky hadn’t suddenly decided to throw water all over her, she would’ve been gone by now. She blocked the water to protect me, and I felt bad, so I let her take a shower in my room to warm up. How could anyone call her a fraud?” 

Ava frowned. Becky was such a screw–up! “Is that so? Well, I’ll take Chloe out after she finishes her shower. I need to head home anyway.” 

Queen Julia glanced at Ava but didn’t respond.. 

The bathroom door opened, and Chloe stepped out, her face flushed from the warm shower. She was wrapped in a white bathrobe, standing at the door, looking at Julia and Ava. 

“Where are my clothes?” 

She had left them on the hanger outside the bathroom, but they were gone. 

Lea quickly replied, “I had someone take them to be dried. We have other clothes for you…” 

“When will my clothes be dry?” After all, they were a gift from Damon. 

Queen Julia got up and walked towards Chloe. “Your hair is still wet.” 

Queen Julia said, smiling. Lea immediately handed her a towel, as if everything had been planned in advance. 

Chloe avoided Queen Julia’s attempt to dry her hair, saying, “I can do it myself.” 

Queen Julia handed Chloe the towel, but her gaze fell to Chloe’s exposed chest. As Chloe dried her hair, her bathrobe opened and closed with her movements, revealing her delicate skin. 

Chloe felt Julia’s gaze, stopped drying her hair, and looked at Queen Julia. She moved away, creating distance between them. 

“Chloe!” Queen Julia suddenly called out in desperation, grabbing Chloe’s arm. 

Ava’s eyes flashed with coldness. This was more than just a shower. 

“Is there anything else?” Chloe asked, looking at Julia. 

“Can I… look at you?” 

Chloe paused. “…Why?” 

“…Please.” Julia’s pleading look and shaking voice made Chloe’s heart heavy. The heavy feeling in her heart made her eyes sting. 

The Queen was begging. 

Lea couldn’t help but tear up. Queen Julia was always proud, always strong, always resilient. No matter what, she never begged. But now, she was begging Chloe. 

Chloe couldn’t ignore the humility and desire radiating from Queen Julia. She shouldn’t have to be like this. 

“Can I?” Queen Julia asked again. 

Chloe gripped the towel tightly, then finally nodded, her voice stiff and detached. “…Okay.” 

Queen Julia almost cried with joy. She looked at Chloe gratefully and slowly raised her hand. It was shaking badly. 

Chloe looked away, feeling sad. A warm hand touched her cheek, caressing her skin and pushing her wet hair away from her face. 

“My Jasmine didn’t like to dry her hair after a shower. She liked to play pranks, always splashing water on me. I didn’t mind, because I was too busy, and I liked her laughter after she succeeded.” 

Chloe’s eyes flickered involuntarily. She bit her lip. She remembered when she used to play pranks like that when she was little. Yasmine was always serious, but she always laughed helplessly and lovingly. Yasmine would pretend to punish her while gently scratching Chloe’s nose. “You little rascal! Who do you take after?” 

Who?” 

It was her. No wonder Yasmine’s smile was so beautiful then. Maybe she was thinking about her own childhood. 

Queen Julia touched Chloe’s eyes, nose, and lips, then slowly let go of her shoulder. Just when Chloe thought it was over, she felt a hand on her chest. She looked down and saw her robe had been pulled open. 

She was speechless. She didn’t expect this seemingly kind old lady to suddenly do this to her!
