The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1248

The lounge was now deadly quiet, the stifling atmosphere making it hard to breathe. Katie was so anxious that she was about to explode. She grabbed Miles and stormed out of the room.

"Where the hell is Mr. Harper?" she said, her voice trembling with anxiety. "Why isn't he here at this crucial moment?"

Miles closed the door behind him, his face serious. "We still have two hours. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Wait for what? How could he do this? Doesn't he know what today is? How could he leave without planning his schedule? This is a engagement banquet we're talking about! What could possibly be more important?"

By the end of her rant, Katie was so angry she was on the brink of tears.

Chloe's eyes flickered. What could be more important than a wedding?

"Nothing is more important than you."

She still remembered vividly the day she was discharged from the hospital, him waiting for her in the rain with an umbrella. And the serious look on his face when he said those words.

Nothing was more important than her... So, he would definitely come, right?

He promised her, told her to wait for him...

Her hand tightened and loosened on her dress hem. She swallowed, and her collarbone looked beautiful in her tension.

"Don't worry. We still have time," Rose said, handing her a peeled orange. "Eat a little. Calm your nerves."

Chloe looked at the orange in her hand, both amused and helpless. "Are you really that in love with oranges? You always have them with you."

"I don't eat that much. I just always share half with you. Good things are meant to be shared."

Chloe gave a small smile and started eating. She had thought that nearly ten hours would be the longest wait. But she found herself hoping that time would slow down more She wasn't afraid of waiting, as long as Damon had enough time to come back.

Suddenly, the lounge door swung open with a bang. Chloe turned to look and saw Katie and Miles, who had just left.

Katie looked pale, standing in the doorway looking at Chloe in a daze.

"Chloe..." She called out her name, her eyes blinking back tears.

"What... what's happened?"

Katie held her phone, hesitating and not making a move.

Miles came out from behind her, looking at Chloe with a complicated expression.

"Ms. Chloe..."

"The bride! Where's the bride?"

"Bride!"

"Bride..."

Before Miles could finish, a crowd of people poured in from the doorway. Kane, Ella, Ollie, Noah... they all rushed in.

Chloe was thrown off by this sudden situation. "What's going on?"
