The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1963

Everyone knew what Cicely wanted, and that definitely included Seth. So when Creighton heard that Seth had actually agreed to Cicely's unconditioned request, there was not a hint of surprise on his face. It was as though he had seen it coming all along.

Cicely, for her part, didn't overthink it.

The day she emerged from her final exam, Cicely was surprised to find Seth waiting under the shade of an oak tree outside the school. His relaxed pose against the sleek black car, a cigarette casually held between his fingers, occasionally lifted to his lips, made him stand out amongst the crowd of anxious parents gathered at the gates. Though he looked young, an air of sophistication and an aura of cool detachment surrounded him, making him a beacon for curious glances, yet no one dared to approach.

To Cicely, his presence was an unexpected delight. She had tossed her pencil case into the trash bin inside the exam hall, her hands free as she exited. Spotting Seth, she weaved through the crowd and ran straight towards him.

Her presence was as conspicuous as a firework. Whether it was her looks, her demeanor, or her audacious spirit, everything about her screamed freedom and defiance.

As she sprinted towards him, Seth didn't even need to look up to sense her coming. Crushing the half-smoked cigarette under his shoe, he tilted his head slightly, catching a glint of sunlight on his silver-framed glasses that partially concealed his dark, narrow eyes and somehow made him appear even more mature and refined.d2

Cicely, with her unique scent and her dress fluttering as she ran, threw herself into his arms. Her body, soft and fragrant, was pressed against him as her arms encircled his neck, nearly clinging to him. Even her breath, slightly erratic from the run, conveyed her happiness.

“Seth,” she panted lightly, her voice close to his neck, her warm breath brushing his skin.

Seth's eyes narrowed just a touch.

"You said you’d grant me that wish. I want you to be my boyfriend," she declared, holding him tighter.

There was a brief silence before Seth spoke, “That's assuming you've passed your exams.”

“I will pass. No doubt about it,” she asserted confidently.

“Let's wait for the results then,” he replied.
