The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1281

Suddenly, the sound of two knocks echoed, followed by Yasmine's frigid tone. "What on earth are you two doing in the bathroom in the middle of the night?"

Their smiles vanished in an instant. Chloe signaled Rose to keep quiet, and after Rose nodded in understanding, they opened the bathroom door.

Rose immediately extended her arms and hugged Yasmine tightly. "Ms. Yasmine."

Rose warmly embraced Yasmine, who had recognized Rose the moment she opened the door and didn't resist the hug.

"When did you get here?"

Rose replied with a grin. "Just arrived, came for Chloe's engagement party. But Chloe ditched me at the party. Can you believe it? She left me, a pregnant lady and her best friend, alone..."

Yasmine pushed her away and looked at her belly. "Since you're pregnant, stop causing such a ruckus! Stay over since you're here! Pregnant women shouldn't stay up late. Go wash up and get some sleep!"

"Alright!"

Watching Yasmine leave, Rose winked at Chloe. "Pregnant women can't stay up late, remember? Find me a guest room! I need some rest."

Chloe gave her a longer look. "Why aren't you insisting on sleeping with me today?"

Rose winked. "Well... it's just not convenient." She touched her belly as she spoke.

Chloe laughed, found her a guest room on the second floor, wished her goodnight, and then headed back to her room.

With each step she took, every heartbeat, every second, was split into single moments. Chloe felt as if she was walking on marshmallows. The sweetness and happiness made her feel like she was living in a dream.

Her hand was always on her heart, feeling it was about to burst out of her chest.

As she opened her door, she was thinking about how to break the news to Damon and what his reaction would be.

She couldn't imagine whether he would be happy or disappointed. Happy that they were finally having a child, or disappointed that he was going to have to live a celibate life for a while.

Thinking about his possible disheartened expression due to the prolonged lack of sex, Chloe couldn't help but chuckle. As she opened the door, the smile on her face froze. She could sense something was off in the room, but before she could react, a tall figure lunged at her.

In an instant, she was in someone's arms. She quickly grabbed the person's shirt, the familiar cold fragrance first filled her nostrils, but she was still startled by this sudden "intruder". She looked up at the man who was much taller than her.

The handsome face was imposing, yet it was a face she was very familiar with. Her hand that was gripping his shirt didn't let go. Her tense expression finally relaxed, and then gradually turned into surprise.

"How did you..." She was puzzled but stopped mid-sentence. Being as smart as she was, she could deduce what was happening. No wonder Rose chose to visit her late at night, she wanted to bring him in.

Whether Rose was threatened or accepted some benefits, she wasn't sure.

Her gaze fell unconsciously on his injured shoulder. Her lips quivered slightly, and her eyes welled up, moved by the man who had sacrificed so much for her. But he had only been in the hospital for three days. Was his wound really healed?
