The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1773

While Yulia was energetically treating Nathan, Damon sat alone on his bed, freshly washed and scrolling through emails on his tablet. Compared to the lively scene next door, it was a rather lonely sight.

Meanwhile, Chloe and Rose had just given Anya a bath and were now laying on their bed, playing with her and chatting.

"Actually, Nathan is right. Being a mother is not an easy task. We do need to learn more about how to be a good mother," Rose said, her slender fingers gently stroking Anya's soft baby face. Her eyes were filled with warmth.

Chloe nodded in agreement, "Yes, indeed."

"So..." Rose sighed and looked at Chloe, "All our attention should now be on our babies. Nothing else matters, not now, not in the future."

Chloe's gaze remained on Anya as she spoke, she then smiled and said, "I understand, you don't need to nag me like Nathan does."d2

Rose glanced at her, feeling a bit annoyed, "You are aware of how much you've been worrying us, right? You're pregnant now, and you are the future mother of two children. You're not the same person you used to be. Can you be more careful?"

Chloe conceded, "Alright, alright. I won't be so careless again."

Rose gave her a look, "You, my dear, need to be watched from all angles."

"What about you?" Chloe suddenly shifted the topic to Rose, "Don't forget that you're also pregnant, and yet you're still going to the office every day."

Rose's hand, which had been gently stroking Anya's face, paused. She adjusted her position and stared at the ornament hanging on the wall opposite, murmuring, "Being at home alone is worse than being at the office. There are lots of people there and once I get busy, I don't feel much of anything."

When she was alone at home, even if there was nothing wrong, she would make something out of it.

Chloe felt a pang in her heart, "Have you and Morrison really not had a serious talk?"

Rose shook her head and chuckled lightly, "About what? We're married, and he agreed to have the child. Maybe he thinks that he's made a huge concession. What else should I expect from him? I can't push too hard."

"What do you mean 'push too hard'?" Chloe frowned, her changing expression causing Anya to look a little scared.

"Children don't just come along when you want them to. Would we be in this situation if it wasn't for his recklessness? Since he decided to be responsible at first, he should take responsibility until the end. You're pregnant now, and he's the father of the child. Has he thought about how he's going to face this child in the future?"

Rose's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of pain flashed across her face. "Forget it, that's his problem. Right now, I just want to focus on having the baby. If I force him to stay with me, the stress might kill me before the baby is even born. It's better this way, and I can focus all my energy on the baby. I can start learning how to be a good mother now, and when the baby is born, I'll do my best to be a good mom. Maybe over time, I'll see things more clearly."

Chloe was silent for a moment. She looked at Rose, her eyes filled with sympathy and sadness, even though she tried to hide it. "Rose. I really regret letting you marry Morrison."

Rose shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, "I don't. Chloe, every woman meets a few jerks in her life and gets blinded by love at some point. I've had my fair share. Morrison is a jerk, but I am blinded by love. I know that once you miss out on something in life, it's gone forever. He was my youthful obsession, or maybe my obsession for the first half of my life. So I don't regret it. At least I had him."

"What about your future?"

"My future? Maybe I'll change my mind. If not, I'll just live with you."

Chloe smirked, "Sounds good, let's do that."

Rose smiled, "I bet your husband would have me killed."

Chloe smirked again, "He won't."

But whether he would do something else, she didn't know.

"Look at you, your face lights up every time we talk about him." Rose teased, "But I'm glad you're happy. You deserve a better man, and Damon is indeed the ideal man. But I have to say, he really keeps surprising everyone. From a self-proclaimed 'kept man' to the founder of a top international company. Wow. You really do have the best man in the world, Chloe."

Chloe's smile deepened, "I was also shocked when I first found out."

"That's why it's great to be your friend. Now I'm friends with a super-rich woman. Remember to help me out when I need it."

"No problem."

Anya laid between them, watching Rose and then Chloe, having a great time. She couldn’t understand or joining in their conversation, so she had to entertain herself. Seeing their slightly round bellies, she curiously touched Chloe's.

Chloe noticed this and looked down at her.

"Nathan told me that you have two cute babies in your tummy. When will they come out to play with Anya?"

Chloe looked at Anya's careful demeanor and laughed, stroking her little head gently, she said, "In about six months."

Anya nodded, "Then you must be very careful. Don't hurt the babies."

Chloe couldn't help but laugh, "I will."

Anya then turned to Rose, "What about you, Aunt Rose? When will your baby come out?"

"Just like Chloe."

Anya clapped her hands happily, "Then I'll be their big sister. I'll protect them."

Rose touched her cheek, "Anya, you're wonderful."

"Hee hee."

Anya then laid down again; having had a long conversation with Chloe and Rose, she gradually fell asleep.

At half-past nine, while Rose and Chloe were still deep in their conversation, there was a knock on the door. The conversation between the two abruptly ended, as Rose raised an eyebrow, "Seems like your Mr. Harper can't handle loneliness. Such a clingy man."

Chloe blushed slightly, glanced at her, and gently rose from the bed, "You should get some sleep too. Don't let Anya accidentally press against you."
