The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 967

Chapter 967 

“True that. Looks like Freya really is under the weather. She’ll need to pop a few more pills when she gets home. Speaking of which, do we still have a BrainWave Stimulator at home? If not, I can have a truckload delivered to you.” 

BrainWave Stimulator? 

Most people in the room couldn’t help but crack up at Nathan’s bitter remark, Freya’s face soured instantly, and she finally lost her cool. 

Seeing Nathan mock his mother without any regard, Ivan’s face turned just as sour. 

“Nathan, you’re crossing the line. She’s your elder.” 

“Did I say anything wrong? She’s sick I just suggested she take more medicine. Is that wrong? Sure, respecting elders is important, but we should also consider if their actions deserve respect. I’d love to respect her….” If she’s worth it. 

“Nathan!” 

Presley abruptly rebuked Nathan, cutting off his unfinished sentence. 

Nathan shrugged and fell silent. After all, he thought he’d said all that needed to be said, and there was no point in going on. Nathan pointed at a dish in front of Freya, telling the servant nearby. “Pass that dish over to me.” 

The table was big, and there were many people. Each dish was prepared according to individual tastes. The dish in front of Freya was one she fancied. 

The servant glanced at Freya, knowing that as an elder, she wouldn’t squabble over a dish with a junior, and proceeded to swap the dish. However, the issue was more than just a dish, 

Freya looked troubled, her chest heaving. Ivan, on the other hand, was gritting his teeth in anger. 

At this point, Wendy dabbed her mouth and said, “Me Summers was indeed unwell yesterday, and I am partially to blame for that. 

As she spoke, she bit her lip, looking rather distressed 

Freya pulled at Ivan’s arm, hinting at him to keep his emotions in check. 

After all, the future of the Alonso family hinged on Wendy’s decisions, and they had to give her some respect. Continuing would potentially implicate Wendy. 

Ivan certainly understood this, With Presley and other elders present, he couldn’t lose his temper. He could only pick up his wine glass and drown his anger. 

After downing a few glasses of wine, Ivan abruptly stood up, pulling Anana with him. 

“Ariana needs to use the restroom, I’ll take her” 

Even though the excuse was flimsy, everyone knew Ivan was fuming because of Nathan. He had managed to keep his cool in public, showing his restraint 

Ivan led Ariana to the restroom, but Ariana had no intention of using it 

“Why are you so pissed? It’s pretty obvious that Freya started this. It’s only normal for others to react” 

Ivan’s face darkened instantly. “What did you just say?” 

Ariana was a bit on edge. She was convinced that the Harper family’s genes were dominant, and her initial impression of Ivan was that he was handsome, apart from his last name. 

Now his icy demeanor made him even more intimidating. 

Ariana felt a strange urge to get closer to him, so she placed her hand on his shoulder and snuggled into his embrace. 

“I’m just being honest. But I do think Nathan went too far. He totally disregarded people’s dignity.” 

Thinking of Nathan’s handsome face, she didn’t want van to pick a fight with him. 

“All in all, this isn’t Freya’s fault, nor is it Nathan’s. Ms. Alonso did say that Ms. Summers falling sick was her responsibility. So, if Ms. Summers hadn’t gotten sick, none of this would have happened right? She really is a delicate flower, not even showing up for today’s affair. She really does put on sir.” 

Ivan had been brooding since this afternoon, and after downing a few drinks, he was immediately aroused by Ariana’s closeness. His anger transformed into desire, and Ariana’s words echoed in his mind. 

Ariana’s breaths grew heavier, and she looked seductively at ivan. 

“You’re so smart, yet so naughty when it comes to this… 

Ivan gave a sly smile as he closed in on Arana 

“It’s the naughty part… 

The fact that Ivan and Ariana hit it off so quickly was largely due to their shared viewpoints 

The two didn’t bother hiding their affection, their passionate kissing echoing in the restroom. Ariana’s suppressed gasps sounded even more enticing. 

However, when Ivan slipped his hand under Ariana’s skirt, something felt off. He pulled his hand out to find it covered in blood.
