The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1528

They thought the issue with the Summers family was done and dusted. But nope, that old bat Carolina had to stir up a fuss. She was raising hell, tarnishing Chloe's reputation with a disloyal and ungrateful label, slinging mud at her, and even threatening to drag her to court.

Why couldn't it just end? Why were people so damn greedy?

Rose wanted to hold Chloe's hand, but someone beat her to it, clutching Chloe's other hand as if he saw her reaching out. Rose was left hanging. She glared at Damon, but the man just shrugged it off, not giving her a second glance.

He did that on purpose, didn't he?! She was just trying to comfort her friend, okay? She was not even allowed to touch her hand now?!

Rose's hand hung in the air, feeling super awkward. Chloe saw it too, and tried to pull her hand away, but Damon held on tight. Yulia, seeing Rose's awkwardness, quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her back. Rose was grateful for Yulia's save, but their sudden hand-holding seemed a bit stiff. Yulia gently patted her hand, telling her not to worry about it.

"Rose, if Chloe has a kid, can I be the godmother?"d2

Chloe had been very busy lately, and with a possessive man around, she didn't have much time to spend with Rose. When she was not around, Yulia would come over to keep her company. Her relationship with Yulia was also quite good.

Yulia was always reserved, never making any requests, not even asking for help. Even for a small favor like fetching a fruit or pouring a glass of water, she would never ask. Now the sudden request to be the godmother of her child was a real surprise.

"Of course." Rose didn't hesitate and agreed right away.

Yulia smiled, squeezing Rose's hand a bit. "Then I better start preparing my godson's gift."

Rose instantly lit up. "Great. You and Damon should hurry up and have a baby, so I can prepare for my nephew."

The previously tense atmosphere lightened up. Seeing the two as if they had decided their future, Chloe's sadness was overshadowed by their interaction, making her chuckle. Damon held her hands, gently squeezing them. Compared to earlier, his expression was more somber.

The priest seemed unaffected by Rose and Yulia's actions. Facing Chloe's accusations, he still remained calm. "This is your fate. In this world, some things are just destined to be. These are all things you must go through."

Chloe stared at the priest, "I don't understand what you mean. I don't care about these, I just want to know, who told you to go to Carolina? What exactly did you tell her? Why is she so convinced that between me and Keira, Keira is the one with the phoenix-like destiny? Is it really her misunderstanding? I don't believe that it's that simple."

The priest sighed, "Smart people always tend to overcomplicate simple things. Sometimes, things are just that simple. I live outside the mortal world, not seeking fame or fortune. I have dedicated my life to serving God. There's no such thing as 'who told me to do this'."

Chloe slowly closed her eyes. Could she really believe that it was just that simple? "To believe that the reason that could destroy me is just that simple, I really cannot accept it. Moreover, these reasons were so elusive, tied to the mysteries of fate. Hmm... what a complex web of causality."
