The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1712

Queen Julia cast a cautious glance at Chloe, whose eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy that was rather heartbreaking. "Seems like that he indeed knows how to win a woman's heart."

Chloe took a deep breath, and her expression seemed to have turned somewhat unpleasant.

Queen Julia, who had never been good at offering comfort, was at a loss seeing Chloe's expression. "Well, I can tell he is a good man, he's probably not the type to flirt around. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship."

Chloe managed a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, "I know that."

But knowing didn't ease her worry. Damon had a way with women, and she wasn't the only one. This fact unsettled her. At the thought that Damon might treat other women the same way he treated her, a feeling of suffocation and unease welled up in her chest, even though she knew she shouldn't feel like this.

Fiona once said that it was not good for a woman to be too understanding. It led to being overlooked and taken for granted, which often resulted in men cheating. Despite Fiona being younger than her and not always offering the best advice, Chloe had to agree on this one. After all, her ex, Lance, was a perfect example of a man who took advantage of her understanding nature.d2

Hmph... Was she a magnet that attracted jerks?

Queen Julia opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words. It was a sensitive topic, and she felt like no matter what she said, she might say something wrong. The atmosphere turned awkward, fortunately, Lea soon walked in. No. It would be more accurate to say she ran in.

She had been by Queen Julia's side for decades and was no longer young. Seeing her hobble in, Queen Julia and Chloe couldn't help but stare at her. "Lea, what's the rush?"

Lea rushed in, collapsing to her knees in front of Queen Julia. She gripped the Queen's hand, looked up at her, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Majesty..."

Lea's voice was filled with grief and an indescribable emotion, "Your Majesty... Princess... she..."

Queen Julia had never seen Lea so distraught before. She bent down to support her by the arm and softly asked, "Lea, what happened?"

Lea shook her head then nodded. "The princess, she has returned."

Chloe frowned. Ava? Barbara? Becky? But would their return cause Lea to be so upset?

However, Queen Julia stared at Lea for a few moments, then suddenly grabbed her hand, her voice trembling as she asked, "You... you're talking about... her..." She hesitated to say the name. After so many years of disappointment, the pain of broken hopes was too hard to bear.

Lea nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's...."

Queen Julia staggered a couple of steps, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked towards the greenhouse's entrance, her grip on Lea's hand trembling. Chloe, too, had now realized who they were talking about, and she watched the entrance in stunned silence.

Queen Julia slowly placed her hand over her heart, as if to calm her racing heartbeat. She bit her lip, her gaze fixed on the entrance, filled with a desperate hope, as if she were waiting for a salvation.

Finally, the curtain at the greenhouse's entrance was pulled back, and two figures slowly came into view.
