The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1233

Chloe was leaning against the wall, taking in the fresh air, her lips a rosy hue. The scent of Damon still lingered in her nostrils as she looked at his handsome face near hers.

"Chloe... remember, your future is mine, got it?"

Chloe's eyes twinkled for a moment. "Can I object?"

"No." Damon's deep voice cut her off.

"But what about my friends? Are you taking over them too?"

Damon leaned down to kiss her ear, taking in the unique scent emanating from her neckline. His actions paused at her words, his breathing becoming heavier.

"If they're just friends..." He finally spoke after a moment of silence.

Chloe once again felt a hint of unease. It was the same emotion she had felt from Damon not long ago.

"Damon..." she suddenly called his name.

"I'm here." His head rested against her forehead, his deep voice making her cheeks flush.

"Are you... afraid of marriage?"

Damon paused for a moment, not answering immediately.

"I think you've been unstable lately. Besides getting engaged, I can't think of anything else that would make you anxious."

"...Isn't it because you nearly got beaten up last time, and I'm worried you'll get hurt again?"

Chloe smiled unconcernedly. "You're so powerful, and you've arranged so many people to protect me. How could anything happen to me?"

"You're too careless." Damon felt he should thank her for her unconditional trust!

"So, will you give me a gun? You promised me in Hong Kong! Look at me now, aren’t I in such a dangerous situation? I need to protect myself."

Damon became serious, "Would one gun be enough?"

Chloe quickly shook her head, "Not enough, I need more."

Seeing her playful demeanor, Damon couldn't help but chuckle. "Cunning little fox."

Chloe grinned, "So, will you give me one?"

"Yes." Damon stroked her cheek. "You're a good shot. Of course I'll give you one. What do you want?"

"A Desert Eagle?"

Damon's hold on her tightened slightly. "You're quite brave."

"Don't you have one?"

Damon pursed his lips, giving her a quick peck before letting her go. "I can give you one."

Chloe raised an eyebrow triumphantly.

"Will you really give it to me? You're such a ladies’ man. Do you really have no experience? Have you never had a girlfriend before?"

Damon's gaze turned dark.

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked, laughing.

"Stop fooling around." Damon said in a low voice, taking Chloe's hand and leading her out of the room. His response and demeanor made Chloe's heart flutter with unease. She felt there were more questions to be asked, but seeing Damon's current state, she didn't think it was appropriate to continue.
