The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1074

But Ronald Shaw wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. He furrowed his eyebrows and reached out to touch her

clothes. The cold made him shiver. You just gonna stand here?”

Yulia kept her lips sealed, not saying a word.

Sensing that she had no intention to talk, Ronald helplessly reached out and wiped the dew off her eyelashes. His

large hand against her frozen skin felt oddly warm

“Why are you so careless?”

Ronald’s movements were far from gentle, hinting at his annoyance. But Yulia felt a wave of warmth.

She looked up at the man who towered over her and softly said, “Thank you.”

Ronald looked down at her, expressionless, “Stop saying that to me, Yulia.”

Yulia gave a small smile; her guard against Ronald seemed to be slowly melting away.

Ronald took her hand and led her towards the car.

“Get in the car.”

Yulia didn’t immediately reject him like before. Her compliance was surprisingly unexpected. He opened the

passenger door, shielding her with the roof of the car as she got in.

A familiar car was parked across the street.

The car window was wide open, Nathan watched Yulia’s obedient behavior with a gloomy expression, his hand

gripping the steering wheel tightened until his knuckles turned white.

Ronald got into the car, and they drove off quickly.

Nathan’s car remained stationary, his eyes staring through the open window, the spot where Yulia had just been

standing. What flashed in his mind was Yulia’s obedient and indifferent attitude towards Ronald, especially the joy

and reliance in her eyes the moment she first saw Ronald.

It seems that their relationship wasn’t over yet.

Chloe received a phone call on the road. Instead of going to the office, she asked Damon to take her to the hospital.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Damon frowned, “What does her hospitalization have to do with you?”

Chloe smiled, leaning in to give Damon a peck on the cheek as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

“She’s an artist I’ve had my eye on for a while, and her role is needed even more in the current production. What if

something happens?”

“Goodbye, be careful on the road.”

Damon kept his lips sealed. What else could he say since it was work–related?

Chloe bought a bouquet of flowers on her way into the hospital. She opened the door to the hospital room, and the

woman on the bed slowly turned her head.

Her face was as pale as paper, her bangs had been swept to the sides, revealing her smooth forehead, and her

eyes were filled with sadness.

When she saw the person standing at the door, the woman’s eyes trembled slightly, and a flash of disappointment

quickly faded.

“Why are you here?” Her voice raspy, weak.

Chloe calmly walked into the hospital room.

“I have ulterior motives with you, of course, I’d come to make my presence known when something happens.”

Crysti gave a small smile, a bitter smile surfaced on her face. “Ms. Summers, aren’t you supposed to say something

nice at times like these?”

She walked to the edge of the bed, holding a bouquet of baby’s breath, looking down at her. “Do you believe it?”

Crysti chuckled, “No.”

“Well, there you go.” Chloe said calmly, “It would be ridiculous if I pretended to be caring to the point where even I

found it amusing.”

Crysti didn’t say anything else.

Chloe continued, “I’ve already asked the hospital about your condition. Your injuries aren’t serious. A fracture in

your right leg, concussion, a few minor injuries all over your body, but nothing serious that will leave you disabled.

You’ll be fine with proper rest, don’t worry.”

“Seems like I’m really lucky”

Chloe gave a small smile, looking around the empty room.

“Where’s Philip? Hasn’t he come to see you?”

Crysti’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and remained silent.

“Or does he not know about your situation?”

Seeing that she didn’t want to discuss this, Chloe didn’t push further. She picked up the flower vase nearby and took

the flowers into the restroom. “I’ll arrange the flowers for you.”

After Chloe left, Crysti’s tears started to fall.

Philip… She endured all these years to repay him for saving her life back then, was all this worth it?

The door suddenly opened, Crysti turned her head to see the man she had just been thinking about slowly walk in.

She hid the sadness in her eyes.

Chloe was pouring water into the vase when she heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately stopped

what she was doing. The restroom became quiet again.

“I heard you had a car accident outside the company last night. How are you, nothing serious right?”

Chloe squinted her eyes. That was Philip’s voice; there was a hint of concern in his tone.

Crysti’s heart ached sharply.

Heard… So he knew about her car accident last night, but only came to see her this morning.

A dull pain struck her chest. She suddenly felt lost, were all these years of perseverance for such a heartless man?

“…I’m fine.”

“That’s good.”

Philip let out a soft sigh, “The movie is about to start shooting. Take care of yourself. Don’t miss the shooting when

the time comes.”

Crysti’s hand hidden under the blanket clenched; she couldn’t hide the sadness on her face. “… We’re still short on

funds aren’t we? Why are we rushing to shoot now?”

Philip’s expression changed slightly, he turned his face and said, “The funds have arrived, so we’re starting the

shoot. You’re asking a silly question.”

Crysti looked up at him, “Where did you get the money?”

Philip kept his lips sealed, “You don’t need to worry about that, just be ready to shoot when the time comes…”

“Philip, Philip…”

A soft female voice could be heard, followed by a woman dressed in a fiery red long dress appearing at the door.

She was beautiful, sexy and curvy.

Crysti’s eyes widened, all her resolutions and beliefs crumbled.

The woman took the initiative to walk over, affectionately took Philip’s arm, looked at the pale woman on the bed

and said, “Darling, you’re so inconsiderate. You should have brought something when you come to see your

assistant. Isn’t it bad to come empty–handed?”

Assistant?

At this moment, Crysti’s face was surprisingly calm. She had to. Right now, she absolutely could not show any

emotion in front of this man..

Philip reached out to touch the woman’s face, “You really think of everything, huh? Later, I’ll have one of my

assistants bring over some gifts.”

The woman pouted her red lips, “So, are you done yet? We gotta go grab some meds. It’s all ‘cause of you, didn’t

know how to hold back last night. You need to think about the baby.”
