The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1241

Chloe's eyes narrowed instantly, turning to Stanley. "Why can't he come back? Do you know why?!"

"...If you go today, you'll only end up being the laughingstock! An engagement party without the groom. Chloe, if I were you, I wouldn't want to be the butt of everyone's jokes!"

Stanley's demeanor and tone were more serious than ever, as if he was not his usual self. But Chloe knew, this was him.

"Stanley, if I find out that you had a hand in his sudden departure, I will never forgive you."

Stanley's hand holding the gun tightened slightly, and Ned at his side quickly said, "Chloe, no matter what, Stanley is right. Mr. Harper is in Country B now, and he might not be able to make it back today. It might be better to cancel the engagement party for now. We can discuss it again when Mr. Harper comes back."

Elizabeth and others were getting anxious hearing this. "Can't he come back today? What the hell is he doing in Country B at a time like this?! Chloe, why don't we just cancel today, no... postpone the wedding to tomorrow or the day after, okay?"

Chloe remained silent for a long time, her gaze fixed on Stanley. "There's a chance he may not be able to make it back, but there's also a chance he can. Both possibilities exist, and besides, Damon said he would be back, and I promised him I would wait."

Stanley's face was tense, more terrifying than any time he had been angry. In the early winter, the cold wind was blowing, and he was now sweating coldly. When the wind blew, he got goosebumps. She was basically rejecting Stanley's suggestion.

Stanley didn't want her to go, not only for his own reasons, but also because he didn't want to see her in that kind of embarrassing situation. Being watched and laughed at by everyone.

Her success had made so many people secretly envy and jealous, right? Those people must’ve been waiting for her to make a fool of herself!

In the end, Stanley's good intentions were all rejected by her. All her words showed that she unconditionally trusted another man and had no respect for his suggestions.

Ned thought Stanley would explode with anger the next second, and start shooting everyone indiscriminately, friend or foe. But all he heard was Stanley's unusually calm voice. "I'm just looking out for you. Let's delay it, make it tomorrow or the day after, play it safe."

Hearing such calm words, Ned was shocked. Even though he knew that Stanley's maximum patience in his life was all spent on Chloe, seeing this, he had to admit that Chloe had once again pushed Stanley's patience to the limit.

Chloe looked at him quietly, and after a long while, she slowly said, "If we delay... will you try to get me to leave?"

Ned was taken aback. "Chloe!"

His voice was filled with obvious anger. She had always fully trusted Damon, but now, she suddenly began to question Stanley? Stanley had patiently explained everything, and after so many years with Stanley, why was she so cold and ruthless towards Stanley?

Stanley looked at her, and his thin lips curled up slightly. "I will."

Ned was speechless. Perhaps, Chloe was the person in the world who understood Stanley's temper the best. The words she just said were not questioning, but they could’ve also been words of trust. She had anticipated some of Stanley's intentions.

"Right. So I can't keep delaying."

Stanley's deep eyes sparkled slightly, calmly looking at Chloe. His tone was plain but carried a detached smile. "So why do you think, if you hold the engagement party today, I have to sit back and do nothing?"

Chloe's eyebrows furrowed.
