The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1358

"Your food shouldn’t touch the floor, or you'll be starving."

Winston's voice suddenly rang out, and then a kid holding a tray suddenly burst into tears.

Winston, who was already stone-faced, now looked even more ruthless. "Why cry?" Did he say something upsetting? Why did they suddenly start crying so sadly?

"Wah!" The crying seemed contagious and soon several kids in front of Winston started weeping.

Chloe quickly stepped forward, came to Winston's side, bent down and said to the kids, "Guys, don't cry. If there's a problem, talk about it first. If you cry, we'll be really worried, you know?"

Chloe's gentle tone left Winston slightly taken aback. He had seen Chloe before as someone who was usually detached from the Summers family matters, very focused on her job. He rarely witnessed this gentle side of Chloe, and her patience and kindness towards the children, in particular, caught him off guard.

Could kids really change a person like that?

These kids were so naive. They always regarded their teachers as the smartest people in the world, hoping for their praise and affection. Hearing Chloe's words, the crying stopped.

"Who can tell me what happened?" Chloe asked with a smile.

A little girl wiped her tears and pointed at Winston tremblingly, "He bullied us and wants to starve us. His face is scary..."

Winston was speechless, and his expression grew even darker.

"Wah...so scary!"

"Really mean..."

"So scary..."

Chloe turned her head and looked at Winston, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame.

"When did I bully them?" Winston bit his lip, looking unconvinced.

Chloe accused, "You're going to starve them!"

"Yes!" The kids nodded their heads.

Winston turned his head and glared at them, "When did I say I'd starve them?"

"Wah...so mean..."

Winston was speechless. "I saw it just now. You said if they knocked over their food tray they would starve."

Winston's cold face twitched slightly; he looked down at the little girl standing in front of him, staring at her tear-stained eyes. "I was just trying to make her be careful..."

Chloe looked up at Winston and counter-questioned, "Your demeanor isn't friendly to begin with, and your words are so ambiguous. No wonder they're crying."

Winston closed his eyes in frustration, and took a deep breath, "Fine, I'm sorry, I apologize."

The little girl rubbed her eyes and said with a thick nasal voice, "I accept your apology. But can I take a picture with you?"

The other little girls also cautiously came out, looking at Winston's stern face, their eyes full of longing, "Can I take a picture with you too?"

"I also want to, even though you look very strict, you're actually handsome..."

Chloe smiled helplessly, not expecting things to turn out this way.
