The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1750

Damon's eyebrows pinched slightly at her silent appearance. Nate stood before Damon, head bowed, hardly daring to meet Chloe's gaze. Chloe pushed the door open and stepped in, noting the attitudes of the two men, a frown gradually forming on her forehead.

Damon's gaze followed her, his movements subtle as he turned off his phone screen and set it aside. After all, he was currently in the Y Country, and the reviews about him on the internet were naturally not as harsh as they were back home.

"Have you explained everything to Grandma?" Damon asked, his tone unchanging.

Chloe's eyes briefly skimmed over his phone, almost instantaneously shifting back to Damon's face. She gave a small nod, "I did. Grandma was upset, so once I've settled affairs back home, I might come back to stay with her for a while."

Damon's eyebrows twitched, "That depends on your capabilities."

Chloe approached him, standing opposite his desk, with a smile on her face, "Why so?"d2

"You might have forgotten, but you also have one grandmother and one mother-in-law who are very fond of you."

Chloe had indeed forgotten that.

Sensing her hesitation, Damon gave a slight smile, his long fingers drumming lightly on the desk. "When do you plan on going back?"

"As soon as possible. Maybe tomorrow. That way, I can spend more time with Grandma Alyssa and Elizabeth."

"Alright," Damon responded nonchalantly, turning his gaze towards Nate and commanding in a cold voice, "Isn't it time you started making arrangements?"

Nate snapped back to reality, quickly replying "Yes", and hurried to leave. The arrangements were not just about the return trip. There were also matters to resolve on the domestic internet.

Chloe didn't stop Nate, instead turning her attention back to Damon, and asked, "So, what were you two discussing just now? What are you trying to hide from me?" If she didn't ask anything, it would seem too deliberate.

Damon looked up at her, a smile playing at his lips, "Of course, I'm hiding how much money I have."

Chloe raised an eyebrow and smirked, "If I wanted to know, I could find out. After all, whatever money you have, is mine. It's just a big number, and as long as I know it's more than I can spend in my lifetime, that's enough."

Damon chuckled, "What if we run out one day?"

"Then you deserve it for not telling me how much you're worth."

"Sure, spend as much as you can. Let's see if that day ever comes."

Chloe smiled, tapping the documents in front of him, "I don't want to see that day, so get back to work and earn money."

Damon sighed, straightened up and picked up his pen, "Yes, I'll definitely work hard to support you."

"Good," Chloe said, sounding pleased, "I'll go pack my bags now. Good luck." With that, she left the study cheerfully.

Damon watched her leave, the smile gradually disappearing from his face once the study door closed, his gaze falling on the phone by his side, his eyebrows pinched slightly.

Outside the door, Chloe's smile faded too. Remembering Damon's actions when he put down his phone, she took out her own phone from her pocket, opened the browser, and saw that the local news in Y Country was dominated by yesterday's coronation ceremony.

There was no news that could make Damon want to hide something from her. Could she be mistaken? But she had heard him, that he was indeed hiding something from her.

Frowning, she headed towards the bedroom, deep in thought about what could have gone wrong.

Today was supposed to be the day she bid farewell to her grandmother at the palace. What could have happened in Y Country that he would hide from her?

Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes on her phone, and her lips pursed, as she expertly navigated the device. Since there was nothing wrong in the Y Country, it must be in their hometown, P City, where the problem lay.

However, just as she was about to search it on her phone, she heard the study door open behind her. She turned around to see Damon, his lips pursed, walking straight towards her. Her eyes flickered, "What's up?"

"About what we discussed earlier."

Damon just started speaking when Chloe's phone rang. Chloe retrieved her gaze, seeing the caller ID, she answered the call without hesitation.

"Dear Chloe!"

"Chloe!"

Two familiar voices made Damon's eyebrows furrow instantly.

Chloe had a small smile on her face, "Grandma Alyssa, Elizabeth."

"Hmm, Chloe darling, we both miss you. When will you be back?"

"That's right. This is your first year of being married to Damon. Hurry back, we're starting preparations."

"I'm all ready, I should be back tomorrow."

"Really?! You see, it seems like we have an unspoken connection, don't we? What time is your flight? We'll pick you up tomorrow!"

"Nate is handling it, and I'll let you know once it's confirmed."

"Okay."

Alyssa and Elizabeth laughed happily, the screen shaking slightly as the phone was handed over to Elizabeth. "Chloe, are you doing well? And my grandchildren, are they well?"

Chloe nodded, "Of course, they're doing well."

Elizabeth hummed in response, her expression somewhat serious, "Be careful when you land tomorrow. I suspect the reporters won't leave you alone. Don't mind whatever they ask. They're just trolls trying to belittle you. Don't waste your time and emotions on them."

Chloe's eyes narrowed slightly. As expected. "What happened? Did something happen back home?"

Elizabeth said, "There are too many busybodies in our country. They're jealous of Damon's affection for you and since they can't antagonize you, they've shifted their focus to Damon. The comments aren't nice, but you shouldn't worry about it."

Chloe's frown deepened instantly. She glanced at Damon, blinked, and suddenly broke into a run toward the bedroom.

Damon didn't expect she would do that. As he quickened his pace to catch up, Chloe had already shut the bedroom door with a decisive click.

Damon was taken aback. Chloe, who was panting against the door, had given Alyssa and Elizabeth on the phone quite a scare. "Sweetheart, why did you run off like that?"

Chloe shook her head, "Nothing. What's happening back home? Why is Damon being talked about even though he's not there?"
