The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 137

In the restroom, Chloe stood in front of the sink, her palm under the faucet, letting the icy water run between her fingers.

She curled her fingers, trying to grasp the water, but it kept slipping through.

She smiled soundlessly. People destined to leave can't be held onto.

She sighed lightly and wiped off the few drops of alcohol that had splashed on her.

Stepping out of the restroom, Chloe felt a breeze. There was a terrace not far down the corridor.

Preferring the quietness of the terrace to the bustling party, Chloe decided to catch a breather there.

The cool wind blew, bringing a slight chill with it.

Tonight, Chloe's dress was simple and elegant, showing off her tall, slender figure and perfect proportions. She stood straight, looking indifferent and regal.

As light as the wind.

"Chloe..."

A familiar voice sounded from behind. It was Lance, hands in his pockets, looking at Chloe with a complicated expression.

Chloe's already emotionless face grew colder. She glanced around the deserted terrace, lowered her eyes, and was about to leave.

"Chloe..."

It seemed Lance had come to find her specifically. Seeing her about to leave, he quickly stepped forward, blocking her path.

In that moment, they were too close. Lance could smell the faint fragrance of Chloe.

Chloe stopped, took two steps back, and looked at Lance coldly.

"So... are you trying to get revenge for your girlfriend?" Chloe asked.

Lance shook his head sadly. Hearing Chloe's emotionless voice, a sense of desolation welled up in his heart.

"No, I know... it's not your fault."
