The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 7

Chloe stared at Lance, remained quiet for a moment, then suddenly started to chuckle under her breath.

Her laughter was cold and full of sarcasm. But within her, it felt like she was being cut open with a knife.

So her being assertive was the problem, huh? That was one hell of a way to put it.

Did being assertive automatically make her the villain, the bully?

Lance's harsh words felt like a sharp knife, stabbing her right in the heart,

"Chloe."

Lance looked at her, guilt flooding his insides. He wanted to reach out, to comfort her, but Chloe stepped back.

"Don't touch me!"

She yelled, swatting his hand away. She slowly lifted her head, her eyes empty, a hint of a sarcastic smile tugging at her lips as she stared at him coldly.

Apart from the coldness and sarcasm, there was pure despair and finality.

Just one look and Lance felt like his heart had been sucker punched.

"Chloe." Lance called her name again, but he didn't know what to say.

Chloe stared back at him coldly, "Lance, remember, I'm the one dumping you! I hope you and Keira stay together forever! Don't expect any sympathy from me, I don't need it! Who uses a towel someone else has used?"

Facing Chloe's unprecedented tirade, Lance was stunned.

The always elegant and composed woman actually spat out those words!

But he understood her anger, "No matter what. I'm sorry."

"I heard you." Chloe replied coldly.
