The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1357

Suddenly, someone gripped Cicely's shoulder hard. She was spun halfway around and then shoved against the black luxury car behind her.

Seth's handsome face leaned in. His face was devoid of warmth. His lips were slightly pursed and his gazes were as sharp as knives, staring at her.

Cicely's waist was pressed against the car, her shoulders firmly held against the window.

Seth opened his mouth again, each word seeming to grind out from between his teeth, "Where'd you leave your compassion, huh?"

His voice nearly froze the surrounding air, and his eyes emitted a chilling and sinister aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Cicely, enduring the pain in her body, maintained a calm and indifferent facade. Seeing her expression, the anger in Seth's heart blazed even more fiercely. "Speak up! Where did it go?!"

Cicely was startled by Seth's words, her eyelashes fluttering. She lifted her face, forcing a smile as she looked at him, then she slowly said in her unique voice, "I don't know. The things I lose, I never think about getting them back. Do you go digging through the trash for something you threw away?"

Seth's brow twitched, and the veins on his forehead became visible.

Cicely laughed, watching him. Rarely did she see so many expressions on Seth's face. "Are you mad?" Cicely smiled again, "See, what's the point in you looking for me? I won't sleep with you, I don't care if you're tired or drunk, and I'll probably piss you off and cause you trouble. You're not exactly lacking in women, just a wave of your hand and there'll be a line of them ready to jump in your bed, serving you, pleasing you, trying in every way to win your favor, and they're way more sensible than me. Why do you want to keep me around to be a thorn in your side?"

Cicely's words were laced with sarcasm, the idea of having to face this man again gave her a headache.

Seth suddenly laughed, "There are plenty of women who know how to please me, so that makes you special. Maybe one day some clueless woman will replace you, and then you can bow out gracefully."

Cicely was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, "Really? Then I can only pray for that person to show up sooner."

Seth's decision couldn't be changed no matter how it was phrased. There was no point in remaining in this standoff with him. But he wanted a special woman? What was so hard about that?

"Are you two done arguing yet?"

Chloe's voice came from behind, breaking the standoff between them.

Seth stood up, creating distance between himself and Cicely. Cicely stood up, tidying her messy hair. The next second, her arm was grabbed again.

She stopped in her tracks, furrowing her brow as she looked at the man who had once again approached her.

"What more do you want?"

"Weren't you supposed to be going to clear your mind? Since you don't like the kids here, I'll take you somewhere else."

Cicely chuckled lightly, decisively pulling her hand back. "Sorry, I'd rather stay here with these naughty kids than go clear my mind."

"Cicely, trying too hard will only backfire. If you really want to leave me sooner, then act like other women, follow some rules. Maybe I'll get tired of you sooner and let you out of my sight," Seth stared at her intently.
