The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1649

The moment Elizabeth saw Royce, her true colors were revealed; vulnerable, helpless, and pitiful. She was completely incapacitated in front of Royce. Years of dependency on Royce had conditioned her to become a "little damsel in distress" whenever he was around, completely lost on what to do.

And Royce's weak point was precisely Elizabeth's vulnerability. Whenever he heard her whining and on the verge of tears, he couldn't bear it.

"Don't worry, since they didn't harm her directly and chose to take her away, it means she's safe for now! They might be using her to achieve some objectives..."

Elizabeth sobbed even harder. Her cries were not loud, but the sound seeped through her fingers and sounded particularly poignant. "But that makes me feel even worse. My daughter-in-law just came back, and with her difficult personality, who would be close to her? In the end, it'll only be Chloe... You're saying they want to threaten Chloe, right? Those damn..."

Elizabeth muttered between her sobs, gritting her teeth.

Royce fell silent for a moment. "Don't worry too much. Damon is handling this..."d2

"But he is so far away! That good-for-nothing is jobless. What's he doing always running abroad?! What use is he to me? He used to be all about work. The only decent thing he did was find me a daughter-in-law! Now that his wife is pregnant, he...where the hell did he go?!!"

Elizabeth's anger boiled over as she continued to rant. Eventually, she lost her temper and shouted out. Marina, standing by the side, hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head at Elizabeth, indicating she was being too loud.

Elizabeth glanced at her, quickly realizing her mistake, and quickly covered her mouth. "....I don't care, just don't let me see that brat again. Otherwise, I'll give him a piece of my mind!"

"Alright, do as you please." Royce completely gave in, treating his son like a toy just to please Elizabeth.

She could do whatever she wanted with him. Whether it was hitting or scolding, it was all up to her.

Elizabeth sobbed a couple of times. "He's your son too, don't you care about him? Don't you love them?"

Royce went silent for a few seconds on the other end of the call. "...I do." One word, if Damon or Nathan were present to hear it, they would definitely get goosebumps. They had never heard their father, Royce, say the word “love!”

Typically, it would be cringe-worthy to hear such a word from a stiff, serious man like Royce, especially when referring to two tall, brooding men.

Elizabeth, however, didn't find it odd at all. Hearing Royce profess his love for their sons, made her feel truly happy. "So you will let me hit them without stopping me..."

Royce went silent for another few seconds. "...Because I love you more."

A small smile finally broke out on Elizabeth's face. One she couldn't hide no matter how hard she tried. "...Okay, then I'll give Damon a piece of my mind..."

Royce's tone relaxed slightly. "As long as you're happy."
