The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1640

Elizabeth was practically joined at the hip to Chloe these days. On the day they arrived at their home in Greenfield Village, Elizabeth had even brought her pillow into Chloe's room to sleep beside her.

Elizabeth's care was all-consuming and it left Chloe at a loss for words. Not that she minded sharing her bed with Elizabeth; it was just that she wasn't used to being the center of someone else's universe.

It was not that her mother was bad. Her mother had her own way of showing love. Given her personality, she also wasn't the type of person to express her love so straightforwardly. But Elizabeth was the polar opposite. Her emotions were always on display. Vibrant and passionate.

At times, Chloe found it difficult to reconcile the image of this warm, expressive woman with her stern, icy father-in-law. But then again, maybe that was what made them perfect for each other. An ice-cold person might just need someone else's blazing warmth to balance them out.

But recently, Chloe was finding Elizabeth's enthusiasm a little too much to handle. She thought her appetite had been big enough, but living with Elizabeth had taught her that her stomach was quite small in comparison.

"Mom, I really can't eat anymore," Chloe finally admitted, looking at the plate full of nutritious food in front of her. From the morning until now, she hadn't stopped eating.d2

"You're pregnant now. You shouldn't worry about maintaining your figure. I can see you've got a small frame, but after you give birth and recuperate, you'll bounce back.”

"I know, I know," Chloe cut her off. "The babies are what matter most right now."

Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction. "Just let me know if you have something you want to eat."

Elizabeth finally set aside the plate of food and sat down next to Chloe. "Eat when you're hungry. I know it's hard, carrying two at once. I can't even imagine how big your belly will get. Damon, that rascal, how could he let you go through this? It's as if he's showing off his virility. Don't worry, I'll give him a piece of my mind when I see him."

Chloe couldn't help but laugh. Was having twins now akin to Damon showing off? Had he even had a say in the matter?

Having Elizabeth as a mother made Chloe feel both envious and sympathetic towards Damon. Chloe remembered how eventful Damon and Nathan's childhood must have been.

Elizabeth, misinterpreting Chloe's silence, continued, "Well, nevermind. I know you're partial to him. Let's not discuss this any further. It's not something we can control, anyway. As long as you feel good during..."

Chloe blushed at Elizabeth's blunt words. She thought she had already gotten used to Elizabeth's straightforwardness, but she was caught off guard again.

Chloe tried to change the subject. "Um... I haven't seen Nathan around lately. There's a lot of food tonight. Maybe we could invite him and Yulia over for dinner."
