The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1239

Rose arched an eyebrow, not caring. "What's the big deal? Grannie bought this specially for me!"

As she spoke, Chloe lowered her head and popped a piece of orange into her mouth. Rose's munching stopped mid-bite, her gaze fixed on Chloe.

"Overeating anything isn't good, you need to maintain a balanced diet." Chloe said this, then popped half of the orange into her mouth.

Rose rolled her eyes at Elizabeth, brow slightly raised. "Is the orange sweet?"

Chloe glanced at the orange in her hand, indifferent. "It's alright."

Rose sat up, her gaze switching from Chloe's face to Elizabeth's. She said lightly, "Guess your plan flopped."

Elizabeth frowned, watching as Chloe devoured the orange. Chloe's chewing slowed down as she caught Rose's words and Elizabeth's expression. She looked at the orange in her hand, a gift from her grandma...

"Hah..." Chloe chuckled lightly, finishing the last piece of the orange.

"What's so funny?" Elizabeth was a bit upset. Her failed plan had become a laughingstock. How embarrassing!

Chloe bent over to pick up another orange, giving it a squeeze, "This trick of Granny Alyssa’s has been overused. She even pulled it on Damon's assistant, Nate." The implication was that Chloe had been on the receiving end of this trick before.

Elizabeth was immensely disappointed. So, Chloe had known from the start that she was being pranked, thus her calm demeanor was all an act. "Not fun at all."

Chloe laughed again, gripping the orange in her hand before heading upstairs to rest.

"Ugh, so mean! You knew we were pranking you, and you still took my orange!" Rose grumbled to Chloe's retreating back, reaching for another orange, but remembering Chloe's words, she held back.

Upstairs, after finishing the orange and getting ready for bed, Miles' video call came through. Chloe rolled her eyes slightly, then picked up the call. Her hair, which was typically tied up, was now a little untidy because she was dressed in comfy home clothing. Her face was naked and she appeared tired.

Used to her strong persona and seeing her like this was a bit odd for Miles. "Ms. Chloe."

"Mhm. How's the competition prep going?"

Miles nodded. "It's good. I think I'm in a good state."

"That's good." Chloe nodded, pulling back the covers and leaning against the headboard. "Did you need something?"

"Yeah, I wanted to check on your skin condition. Tomorrow is a big day, and I promised to make you the most beautiful bride."

Chloe chuckled lightly, "It's just an engagement, not quite a bride yet, am I?"

"Regardless, you're the bride." Miles rare smile made an appearance. "Your and Mr. Harper's outfits have been delivered directly to the hotel by Katie. We'll be waiting for you in the hotel's makeup room in the afternoon. Best of luck."

"Thank you."

Just as she was about to end the call, Chloe stopped Miles. "I know I shouldn't put too much pressure on you, but Miles, you must win the competition."

Miles paused, then nodded. "I will."
