Chapter 1642
Chloe just stared blankly at her.
The kitchen door was then promptly closed in her face, leaving her in the company of a few servants who wore expressions of expected bemusement.
Chloe tucked the apple - larger than her own fist - into the refrigerator, with her lips pursed. She simply was too full to eat.
After two hours, Elizabeth emerged from the kitchen, one hand on her hip and the other carrying a wooden lunchbox, a proud smile on her face. "Voila!
A culinary masterpiece,’ she announced.
The servants collectively released a sigh of relief before clapping politely.
"Bravo, Madam!"
“Excellent!”
“Congratulations!”
Chloe couldn't help but chuckle at the spectacle. The scene was reminiscent of a superhero saving the planet. And Chloe found it amusing that this jovial woman was the mother of the seemingly aloof and sophisticated Damon.
Elizabeth, having soaked up enough praise, ascended the stairs to change.
She then promptly whisked Chloe out of the house, lunchbox in tow.
Yasmine had physical therapy at 2 PM sharp. Throughout the journey, Chloe couldn't help but sneak glances at the lunchbox in Elizabeth's lap. With each look, Elizabeth tightened her grip on the lunchbox.
“I can cook for you when we get home! This is for your mother. I know you're pregnant and all, but your mom's physical therapy is tough, too. Just bear with it a bit longer. Or you could eat an apple to tide you over’ she offered.
Chloe sighed, "I had a big lunch.”
"Oh, good!" Elizabeth replied, clutching the lunchbox even tighter. "This is my trump card to win over your mother! I'm going to have her stomach under my control. Let's see how she dares to give me the cold shoulder then!"
Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Knowing her mother, she was not one to compromise - especially over something like this.
They reached the physical therapy center just a few minutes past two.
Elizabeth just laughed, pressing her face against the glass. "She should smile more often, don't you think? She's too beautiful to be frowning all the time."
Chloe watched Elizabeth, feeling a sudden sense of unease.
The rest of the therapy session went as usual. After two hours, Yasmine finally finished. Her face was pale and sweat-soaked, but her mood seemed to be good. She was just about to head to the showers when the door suddenly opened.
“Hello, Yasmine! I'm back again!"
Yasmine paused in her tracks, looking up to see Elizabeth standing at the door, lunchbox in hand and a beaming smile on her face.
Despite Yasmine's indifference, Elizabeth didn't seem to mind. She walked over, pushing Yasmine's wheelchair toward the therapy room's couch.
"Today's been tough for you, hasn't it? Here, taste my cooking. I stewed chicken soup just for you. It's light, not greasy at all," she insisted.
Yasmine laid the towel on her lap, closing her eyes in apparent impatience. "I can feed myself when I'm hungry, you know. You don't need to fuss over me."
Regardless, Elizabeth went ahead and uncovered the food container, pouring out some chicken soup. It was genuinely crystal clear.
"This is to help you regain your strength. After all, you're the mother of my daughter-in-law. What's wrong with taking care of you? I should be thanking you for giving birth to such an amazing woman, haha...’

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
