The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1648

Chloe was a sharp woman. She had noticed the glances from the cashier and the customers nearby. She had thought it was due to her recent popularity, but the cashier's reaction made her realize that it was something else. Someone had put her in the spotlight again, but she didn't know why.

Chloe was certain she hadn't upset anyone recently. Things had been settling down, and there shouldn't have been this much attention on her. Seeing the cashier's puzzled expression, Chloe asked, "Is there a problem?"

The cashier shook her head nervously, "No...it's just...congratulations...on the twins..."

Chloe looked at the mountain of items in front of her, her eyes deep and thoughtful. Elizabeth burst out laughing. "We're preparing in advance! Buying everything in pairs for good luck, hoping we can have a set of twins in the future!"

The cashier nodded awkwardly. "I see...well, may your wishes come true!"

Elizabeth laughed even harder. "Definitely...definitely...our wishes will come true! My son is very capable!"d2

There was a moment of silence, followed by a few suppressed giggles. Chloe had never felt so embarrassed, her face turned beet red. She covered her face with her hand, wishing she could disappear into the floor.

Elizabeth and Chloe had bought so much, they had to carry it all home. Elizabeth was excited, talking non-stop about all the baby items. Chloe was also drawn into the excitement - after all, these were things for her child.

Back home, Elizabeth had a room cleared out for a nursery. Elizabeth and Chloe started decorating it, having a great time. Elizabeth suddenly stood up, saying, "You keep working on this. I'll get some more stuff and contact an interior designer. If we're doing a nursery, we need the best crib!"

As soon as Elizabeth left the room, her smile faded. She looked serious and determined. Downstairs, Marina approached her, looking worried. "Madam..."

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked, her expression grave.

"There's been a city-wide blackout, it seems intentional," Marina said reluctantly. "During the ensuing traffic chaos, Bryson was shot, and Yasmine was abducted!"

Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say? Who was taken?"
