Chapter 905
“Could it be because I was always nagging when I was pregnant with him that he developed this rebellious attitude? Always trying to contradict
me since he was born?”
Elizabeth mumbled to herself, causing Chloe to chuckle.
Did she start encouraging him to get a girlfriend while he was still in the womb?
“What about Nathan? Did you also teach him in the womb to find an outstanding girlfriend for you?”
Elizabeth waved her hand, “When I was pregnant with him, I was hoping he would be a girl. But he turned out to be another rebel, who ended up growing into a son! I was so pissed… So my only hope for him was to give me a beautiful and cute granddaughter!”
Chloe’s lips twitched. This woman was thinking way ahead, skipping the daughter–in–law and going straight for the granddaughter.
However, this wish might have actually had a chance of coming true now…
Seeing Elizabeth’s beaming face, Chloe couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
She was envious of Elizabeth’s current happiness, for herself, and also for her mother.
Why did her mother, who was so wonderful and outstanding, have to marry into the Summers family…

Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t hear all of what Elizabeth was saying, but when she heard the words “coming of age ceremony“, she came back to her senses.
“Nathan was the one who insisted on getting a car for his coming–of–age ceremony. In the end, it was Damon who gifted it to him. Speaking of Damon’s coming–of–age ceremony, Presley prepared more than a dozen women for him to choose from, which pissed him off so much that he almost overturned the Harper family… By the way, what about yours…”
Elizabeth abruptly stopped speaking, quickly covering her mouth.
Oh no!
She remembered that Damon had told her not to mention Chloe’s past, especially her coming–of–age ceremony. How could she just blurt it out.
As expected, Chloe’s gentle expression changed, and Elizabeth felt even more alarmed.
“Don’t worry about it, Mom… My coming–of–age ceremony gift was all of the business assets under my mother’s name, enough to ensure that I would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of my life.”
Elizabeth looked at Chloe, who was forcing a smile on her face, and it broke her heart.
“Your mother was a very powerful woman.”
Chloe nodded, “Yeah, she was, but she didn’t have a good eye for men.”
Elizabeth nodded, “I’m glad you didn’t inherit her taste in men. You chose Damon, which is the best choice you could have made!”
Chloe gave a bitter smile, “Maybe, I did inherit it. I used to have a fiancé If it wasn’t for Damon… I guess we would have missed each other…”
“That must be fate.” Elizabeth didn’t show any signs of discomfort at the fact that Chloe had a former fiancé, which surprised Chloe.
“Do you really have no objections to me?”
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, “If I pick on you every day and find all kinds of things to dislike about you, it’d be exhausting for me. Why would I want to make things hard for myself?”
This blunt honesty was both amusing and touching.
“After all, you are the one my son chose. If I can’t trust you, can’t I trust my own son? Since he made the choice with such determination, you must be the best.”
Chloe felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
She may have seemed cold and distant, but her heart was easily touched.
Elizabeth looked at Chloe, who was trying to contain her emotions, but the look of sympathy on her face was unmistakable.
She suddenly stood up from the sofa, walked over to Chloe, and gently pulled her into her arms.
Chloe’s body stiffened instantly.
Elizabeth gently stroked her hair and said softly, “You don’t need to always be on guard, and you don’t need to be so strong all the time. It’s okay to have weaknesses. Damon can give you more than just love; he can give you us. We love him, he loves you, so we will love you too.”
Chloe bit her lip, feeling a warmth well up in her eyes.
“Thank you… Mom.”
Her voice choked up as she buried her head in Elizabeth’s tender embrace.
She suddenly felt a sense of belonging that she had never before experienced.
Her rigid body gradually relaxed, and her slender shoulders trembled slightly.
Damon couldn’t wait for Elizabeth and Chloe to come back, his face growing grimmer by the minute.
The calls he made to Chloe went unanswered.
Finally, he called his mother.
Elizabeth saw the incoming call, raised an eyebrow, patted Chloe, whose eyes were red from crying, and then took the phone into the bathroom.
As soon as she picked up, Damon asked in a cold voice, “Where is she?”
As if she had kidnapped Chloe.
“We’re at a hotel.”
Damon’s face darkened even more, and he quickly stood up from the sofa.
“Which hotel?”
“The one where the banquet is being held tomorrow.”
Damon was already at the door, grabbing his car keys and heading out.
“You running away from home on your own is one thing! But you took her with you?”
His voice was harsh. Was this his mother?
She ran away from home with his wife?
“What are you talking about? You’re the one who drove her away, and now you’re blaming me?”
Damon was so angry that he hung up the phone.
Elizabeth shrugged, put away her phone, went into the bathroom, took out all the towels and bathrobes, put them in a corner, and then went back to the living room.
Seeing Chloe sitting there with her eyes red from crying, her felt sympathy towards her again.
She walked over, ruffled Chloe’s hair, and said softly,
“I’ve had someone prepare the bath for you. You should go soak for a bit and relax. I’ll get dinner ready.”
She said, lightly brushing over Chloe’s tear–streaked face.
“I can make dinner…” Chloe croaked.
“No need. You go take a bath. Tonight…just rest.”
Elizabeth quickly pushed Chloe into the bathroom, eager to help her undress and get her into the bathtub.
Chloe was a bit overwhelmed by this enthusiasm and quickly said, “I can do it myself.”
Elizabeth didn’t insist. Seeing that Chloe was indeed starting to undress, she left satisfied.
Not long after, Chloe heard Elizabeth making dinner plans over the phone outside.
Then, silence..

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
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...
