The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1469

"You..." Seeing her truly remorseful expression, Damon was suddenly at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, Damon slowly said, "What if...you lose? Have you considered that possibility?"
Chloe nodded. "Of course I did. I'm not dumb. I wouldn't overlook such a possibility."
Damon's face turned a bit angry and scared. He could’ve really lost control and did something irreversible to Chloe in front of him.
Nathan and Kane swallowed hard. The atmosphere was really tense. Thankfully, it was Chloe they were dealing with.
"You should stop taking risks, start acting cute, beg for his forgiveness, and let this thing blow over," said Kane, regretting his previous actions.
Nathan nodded strongly, showing his agreement. "Go on! Act cute, hug him, and kiss him!"
Kane, "…are you…are you sure she would do that?"
Seeing Damon's sour face, Chloe chuckled, approaching Damon again, her hands on his shoulders. "But I think it's okay even if I lose."
"…It's okay if you lose?" Damon's eyes turned dangerous.
The smile on Chloe's face grew brighter, appearing somewhat...well... unreasonable. "I still have you. You wouldn't just stand by and let other men bully me, would you?"
Damon didn't respond, but the cold, strong aura around him was shattered by Chloe's words.
Let her run to other men and be bullied? He certainly couldn't!!
She considered all possibilities. Winning would be great, but even if she lost, she still had him. In the end, she was still the clever one!
Damon's demeanor noticeably changed.
Chloe seized the opportunity, laughing as she nestled into his arms again, hugging his waist, standing on her toes, and kissing his jaw.
"You're so skilled, you definitely wouldn't let me be bullied by other men!"
Damon lifted his chin, snorting, "How do you know I wouldn't allow it? Who was it that agreed to the terms of the bet…"
"It was me! I said it, but you didn't. I believe you definitely won't let other men bully me!" She expressed her trust in Damon very clearly.
Damon even felt that even if he could stand by and watch her being bullied by other men, he couldn't do it.
This woman. She was not content with deceiving others, she even deceived him. Who else but her could be so brazen about being exposed?
Nathan and Kane kept nodding in agreement. "She's really competent! She can even handle this."
"Yeah, no wonder she can control Damon so well. She's really... impressive!"
"The key point is Damon is at her mercy, right? I just want to ask you. Do you think he can do anything extreme to Chloe?"
Kane exclaimed, "Chloe is really amazing. I feel that as long as we keep her happy, our days will be blissful."
Nathan chuckled, "You realized this too late."
Kane retorted, "You realized this early, but I didn't see you having a comfortable life."
Nathan looked at him, speechless.

Damon's anger had almost been dissolved by Chloe. Even if she didn't chase after him, he could only vent his anger alone before seeing her again.
Chloe knew it well, and probably many others knew it too. Apart from being angry with himself, he could do nothing to Chloe.
He couldn't hit her or scold her. He couldn't be mad at her, nor could he give her the cold shoulder.
He'd been so cold to her and he didn't know how she felt about it, but he was already feeling regret and worry.
What else could he do? Being angry with her was simply punishing himself. But if you didn’t teach this woman a lesson, she'd become increasingly unruly.
He tried to push her away in anger, but Chloe only clung tighter.
"Leave, I don't want to forgive you right now."
"Then forgive me later. I'm not in a hurry." She was clearly being unreasonable.
Damon clenched his jaw. "Chloe, your behavior today was seriously out of line. I won't forgive you easily..."
Chloe stood on her toes, trying to kiss Damon's lips.
Damon paused, then turned his head to avoid her.
"I really realize my mistake... I promise I won't make this mistake again. Hmm…"
Damon pretended to be indifferent and said nothing. Chloe wanted to kiss him again, but Damon dodged several times, obviously not letting her have her way. In the end, Chloe was driven to desperation, she held Damon's face with both hands, aimed at his lips, and kissed him.
Damon's eyes narrowed slightly.
Chloe's actions were a bit clumsy. But the sweetness of her lips softened his resolve a bit.
After not getting a response from Damon, Chloe eventually pulled away her lips. She looked up at Damon, her eyes filled with tears. "I'm tired. You're too tall."
Damon's lips curled slightly. He looked down at the seemingly wronged Chloe in front of him, feeling a sense of helplessness.
"You dare to do it again?"
Chloe shook her head without hesitation. "Absolutely not. I will never go to the casino again!"
Damon frowned. "Chloe, if the casino was the root of the problem, I wouldn't have taken you there tonight. It seems you still don't understand yourself..."
"I get it. I will never put myself at risk again, let alone use you as a gamble. I won't let myself appear weak, nor will I let myself be hurt in any way, nor will I give any man the opportunity to get close to me. I've always known that in this life, I only belong to a man named Damon. I can only be his woman, his wife, his weakness, his defense, and his challenge..."
Chloe always knew how much Damon cared for her, and how helpless he was against her. It was her who took advantage of her understanding of him, and his indulgence of her, to act recklessly.
