The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 192

Chloe's smile started to fade and eventually disappeared completely.

"Actually, it was Carolina who suggested that I should announce the cancellation of the engagement on the spot. My first reaction was that it was quite sad. Her intentions were so obvious, and your worries were not unreasonable."

Chloe sighed, looking at the guests coming out of the Serenade Hotel with a cold expression on her face.

"After all, they were pretty good to me when I was younger. In this world, they were the only people related to me..."

"I remember the old director of the orphanage once said that even if any of the children there found a home, they would always have a place in their hearts for the orphanage, their friends, the director, and the teachers. Because children are the most innocent, their hearts are like a blank sheet of paper, and the first impression is often the most unforgettable..."

"Even after my mother left, I thought about humbly trying to salvage something, but they wouldn't even give me a chance...

"...At that time, I was very conflicted. I hated them for driving my mother to a dead end, but I also selfishly didn't want them to abandon me... I just remember that feeling was too scary, and I wasn't prepared to face everything on my own. Helplessness and fear made me so flustered that I didn't know what to do..."

"I grew up in a privileged environment, and before that, I had never thought that one day I would have to face so many things. Viviana joined the Summers family, my mother was forced to leave, and I couldn't handle Keira's despicable tactics... My mother never taught me any of this, so I guess she wasn't good at it either. If she had known, she wouldn't have ended up like that..."

There was an oppressive feeling in the car, and Chloe took a deep breath.

"No matter how much I lingered and couldn't let go of this family bond, I'm relieved now... They hurt me time and time again, completely exhausting my patience... I don't know why, since Keira entered the Summers family, their treatment of me and her was so different, but it was all of them who made me who I am now..."

Chloe's voice, with her unique feminine tone, softly echoed in the car, lingering for a long time, accompanied by the long-lasting reverberation, gently falling.

"You have me now."

Damon's deep voice sounded, raising his hand to hold Chloe's head and gently pulling her to rest on his forehead.

"You won't be alone, I'll always be by your side."

Chloe smiled and nodded, "Mhm."

"So, you shouldn't have come in the first place. Why give them a chance to bully you, huh?"

Damon rubbed her hair, still mad about her agreeing to Carolina's request.

"Lance and I could never continue. Putting aside my connection with the Summers family and focusing only on my engagement to Lance, it would be the best for me if I proposed to end it. So, naturally, I was more than happy to do so."
