The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1235

"Alright, I get it, he's marrying my daughter. Stop rubbing it in."

Thinking of the little life inside Rose's belly, her mood started to pick up.

"It's because I want you to love us more."

As they headed towards the villa, Chloe thought to herself, maybe there really isn't much time to think about other things once you have a kid.

-

Just as she stepped into the living room, Chloe was stopped by Presley. "Come to the study with me."

The smile on Chloe's face faded, and her gaze grew serious. "Alright."

"No way!"

Elizabeth suddenly stood up from the sofa, placing the apple she was eating on the table. "We're all family here, so spit it out. No need to talk to her alone."

Presley frowned at her. "Do I need your permission to talk to someone?"

"I don't care who you talk to, but Chloe is now Damon's wife, and I won't let you mistreat her!"

"You tell me, why would I mistreat her?"

Elizabeth scoffed and walked towards Chloe, shielding her behind her body. "Just like before, you were against my marriage to Royce. You told me that if I really loved him, I should let him go because I would hold him back? Affect his future?"

Chloe looked at Presley. He didn't answer, and just bit his lips tightly, without any reaction.

That's what he intended to say. But didn't he also object to Damon's parents' marriage in the past?

He didn't agree with them being together. If they hadn't been together, Damon might not have existed. At this moment, Chloe's respect and admiration for Presley were rapidly fading.

"I really don't understand what's going through your head? One moment you think something is good, and the next you think I did something wrong. Your attitude is always up in the air, and easily influenced by others. I wonder how much you're to blame for the Harper family's current state?! Maybe, without you, the Harpers would be better off."

"How dare you!"

"I dare to!" Facing Presley's cane pounding on the ground, Elizabeth didn't back down. "I've always been daring to stand my ground! If I hadn't, I wouldn't be with Royce! If I hadn't been with him, Damon wouldn't have been born! And there wouldn't be a Nathan! I have every right to be daring! If I'm not, what can you give me?!"

Elizabeth retorted loudly without any hesitation, Presley really made it hard for her to stay in the same room with him for long. Chloe finally understood why the old lady chose to live alone outside, and why Elizabeth had been outside for so many years, and yet Royce Harper was always by her side.
