The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1339

Even Seth was stunned when he heard the news. His gaze swept over Chloe's belly, then calmly landed on Cicely, who was standing aside.

Something flickered in his eyes, gone in an instant. He turned and walked into the living room, seemingly indifferent to the Angel's Haven Orphanage that Chloe had just mentioned.

Maybe all he wanted now was for Cicely to stay put. Just her staying was enough.

Cicely's gaze followed his retreating figure until her anxiety gradually dissipated.

Later, she looked at Chloe again. Cicely was the carefree person who used to seem indifferent to everything, but now Chloe could clearly see the expectations and desires in her eyes.

Chloe felt a twinge in her heart. If before she couldn't understand Cicely's feelings, now looking at her, all Chloe felt was sorrow. The two babies in her belly hadn't shown any reaction yet, but she felt they were the best things in the world.

She looked forward to their birth, their first time calling her mommy, watching them grow day by day, not wanting to miss a single moment with them.

She had always thought her mother was great before, from praising her in school to later understanding her mother's hardships and sacrifices. She had felt her mother's love for her, but couldn't fully appreciate her greatness, her hardship, her selflessness, and the deep love for her child.

Most of these thoughts were instilled through education, and she had always been the one receiving the motherly love. But now, becoming a mother herself, she felt so many things deeper than ever before.

She thought, if she were Cicely, she might not be as strong. If she were Cicely, she might do whatever it takes to keep her children by her side and give them the best love. But, for the sake of her child, she had to be strong.

There were things Cicely had to consider, so she had to restrain herself. Missing several years of her son's growth, it was a regret she could never make up for in her life.

“Come with me tomorrow, let's go see the kids together.”

Cicely bit her lip, her eyes red. “Okay, you're my boss. Your word is law.” Her voice was trembling slightly.

Chloe stepped forward, looking into her eyes, full of sympathy. “Is it because I'm your boss? Why do I think the focus is actually on the vacation?”

Cicely lowered her head, took off her boots, “Since you know, you should be more proactive about the next holiday.”

She walked towards the living room, stopped halfway, and turned to Chloe, “Is it a paid leave? If not, forget it.”

Seth suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on Chloe. Chloe saw a strong warning in his calm gazes. She raised an eyebrow, suddenly saying, “Paid leave... that's a bit tricky.”

Seth's eyes narrowed slightly, but Chloe walked over to Cicely, supporting her waist as they headed towards the dining room, saying, “You must have seen the news, I'm taking over Infinity Media's artists soon, and there might be a lot of them. So the company can only try to cut costs as much as possible.”
