The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 961

Chapter 961 

“We’ve figured out the identity of the woman who tried to mess with Chloe. She’s the illegitimate daughter of the owners of Horizon Wealth Management. Wanna meet her?” 

Damon’s voice was ice-cold. “No need.” 

He stood up, “Horizon Wealth Management might be too big for its britches. Let’s teach them a lesson.” 

Nathan shrugged nonchalantly, watching Damon’s retreating figure, and asked, “Don’t you want to know her motives?” 

“No need.” 

This simple sentence put a stop to all the chatter for the night. 

Nathan watched Damon’s figure disappear down the hallway before frowning, standing up from the couch, and walking out the door 

Damon returned to his room, freshened up, and stood under the warm air in the bathroom for a long time until his body was toasted warm. Then he carefully lifted the quilt and lay down next to Chloe. 

Chloe felt the quilt being lifted in her sleep. She didn’t feel any chill, but a warmth. The familiar scent that came to her nose made her instinctively lean towards Damon in her sleep, and the closer she got, the warmer she felt 

Damon gently wrapped his arms around her body, leaving a kiss on her forehead. Although Damon was by her side, Chloe’s mind was still replaying the moment her mother jumped into the sea. It happened too fast for her to stop, she couldn’t touch her body, and she could only hear the “splash” when she hit the water. 

This scene replayed in her mind over and over, until it became her in the scene. She was pulled into the sea by Keira. She struggled desperately, tried to call for help, then felt something pulling her down. The sea water rushed into her ears, nose, and throat, the feeling of suffocation. 

Cold bone-chillingly cold. 

In the middle of the night, Chloe’s brows furrowed. Her face pale, covered in sweat, her breathing rapid, as if someone was choking her, she even felt suffocated for a while. 

Chloe, Chloe, wake up… 

Chloe’s body trembled, she panicked, and as consciousness gradually returned, her breathing suddenly became easier and she stopped gasping for air. She opened her eyes and saw Damon’s handsome face. He relaxed when he saw her eyes. Chloe’s breathing gradually calmed down, and looking at Damon’s grim face, she grabbed his hand. 

Tm fine…just had a nightmare.” Her voice was a bit hoarse. Obviously, the nightmare scared her 

Damon looked deeply at her, “What do you consider as a problem? Chloe, you should rely on me, instead of worrying about being a burden to me 

all the time.” 

Chloe suddenly paused; her heart felt like it was pierced. Damon leaned down and gently kissed her lips 

“Let me feel that you need me, okay?” 

Chloe’s eyelids trembled slightly, “You might not fully understand how much of a salvation you are to me. How could I possibly not need you?” She snuggled tightly in his arms, “I just had a dream. I dreamt that I couldn’t breathe in the water, it was cold and tiring, I’m glad you were there, otherwise I might have really suffocated from a dream. 

Damon gently stroked her shoulder. He felt her expectations of him were high, which put a lot of pressure on him. He sighed helplessly. Maybe just left it that way. She was just too amazing 

If she didn’t need him, then he would always follow her 

She spent the whole night in Damon’s arms. Despite sleeping well, her body was too tired, she didn’t recover the next day, but got a fever from catching a cold and was confined to bed. Feeling weak all over, Chloe didn’t even think about going anywhere. 

From the morning, the Harper family started to visit one after another 

Damon didn’t tell Chloe that his family was having a dinner party tonight. Her physical condition didn’t allow her to participate. Furthermore, the family members were not very harmonious, and his grandfather was going to invite Wendy tonight, which made him even less willing to let Chloe attend the dinner. 

His grandfather hoped that Chloe could put the past behind her, but he couldn’t. Deep in his heart, he was not over this situation yet. 

He remembered when he first met Chloe, she was at her most vulnerable. In the hospital, she was betrayed by Lance and Keira, ostracized by her family, survived a near-death experience, and was barely alive. 

And now, she has been tormented so much in just a few days after coming to Hong Kong, and he needed to give her an explanation. 

Chloe ate breakfast under Damon’s watch, took her medicine, and then fell into a deep sleep 

In the living room, it was bustling Robin and Percy needed to deal with their respective company affairs, and their families arrived one after another Elizabeth was in the living room dealing with the relatives’ conversations. 

A few people were holding embroidery tools, chatting while embroidering. This was all because of Elizabeth’s enthusiastic recommendation, 

forcing them to agree to embroidering 

Seeing that it had been a morning, and Chloe had not appeared, Freya looked around the living room and couldn’t help but ask Elizabeth, 

“Didn’t you say Damon’s fiancée is here? I’ve been feeling unwell and haven’t been out these few day. I haven’t seen her, why hasn’t she come out yet?” 

Elizabeth calmly replied, “Chloe is sick, so she can’t come out.” 

“Oh, I hope she’s alright… 

“There shouldn’t be any severe problems.” 

“That’s good. 

Freya smiled a bit disappointedly 

Although she didn’t attend the banquet yesterday, she roughly knew what happened. Last night’s banquet made the Alonso family so embarrassed, and today she said she was sick, she didn’t know if it was retribution.
