The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1382

"Where are we heading next?" Chloe asked, looking out the car window.

"Home." Damon said.

Chloe paused a bit, then gently shook her head, "Not just yet. Grandpa Presley looked off-color today, the whole fiasco embarrassed him. We should check up on him."

Damon's head was buried in the crook of her neck, breathing in her faint scent. Upon hearing her, he knitted his brows.

He lifted his head, forehead against hers, "Aren't you pissed?"

Chloe took a deep breath, "I am."

"Then don't force yourself." Damon said.

"It's a matter of principle. He's your grandpa, technically mine too. He crossed the line, but he's still our elder! He can wrong me, but I can't. I know you don't want me to be wronged, but I just want to remain guilt-free. So in the future, I can face him and you without any qualms. The last thing I want is for you to regret. He's your biological grandpa, and all he does is for your sake. The only thing he's not okay with is my family background, which isn't up to par to support you. But I can compensate, it's no big deal." Chloe said.

Damon stroked her soft hair, his eyes deep and reflective, mirroring Chloe's bright and beautiful face. His voice was soft and enchanting, "You've said it all. What else can I add?"

Chloe smiled, leaning into his embrace, "As long as it's for you, I'm happy to do anything."

Damon ran his fingers through her hair, bending down to press a kiss on her forehead.

How Wendy made it home, she had no clue herself. She sat in the luxurious living room, hair a mess, clothes disheveled. She seemed soulless, tears silently streaming down her face. Her mind was a whirlwind, and she was scrolling through her phone.

The internet was full of mockery towards her.

"Serves her right, always flaunting around as a member of the Alonso family!"

"She even made a scene at the Harper Group's board meeting. I bet she was even more arrogant there. It's a shame I didn't get to see her being rebutted."

"What a disgrace."

"Ms. Summers even gets jealous differently, so domineering, quite impressive!"

"I wish I could marry the domineering Ms. Summers!"

"Yes! I'd love to see Ms. Summers get jealous for me."

"But I thought Mr. Harper was a gentle and polite gentleman. I never thought he'd hit a woman. I didn't see it coming. He actually hit a woman."
