The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 167

Chloe clutched her teacup tightly, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body freezing cold.

"So you are telling me that... before I left, Lance had already had feelings for Keira?"

Lauretta's face was streaked with tears. Hearing Chloe's sudden question, she was visibly stunned. She bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Chloe looked up at Lance, his eyes filled with guilt.

She stared at him silently, her body shaking with anger. "So, you liked her even before I left? You've been struggling with this for six whole years?"

Lance didn't speak, but the guilt in his eyes grew deeper, which was his answer.

Chloe laughed coldly, "I thought you started getting closer to her while I was away because you couldn't stand the loneliness... I didn't expect it to be so early..."

Chloe's words were calm and sarcastic.

Every sentence was like a knife, stabbing deep into Lance's heart.

Chloe's heart was filled with desolation.

Apparently, their relationship was more fragile than she’d known.

"Lance, can I ask you a question?"

Lance opened his mouth but made no sound. He nodded his head.

"What do you like about Keira? Her beauty, innocence, kindness, gentleness?"

Chloe stared intently at Lance, not blinking.

Lance stiffened under the pressure of her cold, oppressive gaze.

He stammered and couldn't speak, but Chloe seemed unwilling to let him go.

"Yes—"
