The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1453

Chloe didn’t bother asking more; it seemed like Damon was pretty confident about taking over the Harper Group.

Damon got dressed, scooped Chloe up and hopped into bed. “Cuddle with me for a bit.”

“I need to prepare some food for you.”

“We can talk about that after I wake up.”

He gently laid Chloe on the bed and then slid in next to her. With his long arms, he drew her into his embrace.

Chloe obediently let him hold her, tilting her head to look at his handsome face with closed eyes, a smile playing on

her lips. “You still haven’t mentioned the fact that I suddenly became Queen Julia’s granddaughter. Did you already

know that?”

Damon’s eyes remained tightly shut, not even a twitch of his eyelids. “What’s there to say?” he held her close,

burying his head in her fragrant neck, murmuring, “Yasmine is the Queen’s daughter, so naturally, you’re the

Queen’s granddaughter, isn’t that normal? I didn’t know in advance. But princess or not, to me, you’re always the

most beautiful, strongest goddess. Now that you’re a princess, it’s no biggie. It doesn’t change the fact that you’re

my wife.” Chloe pursed her lips, a shy smile creeping onto her face. “What goddess…”

“Then be a queen.” Damon said with a smile, then suddenly opened his eyes, grinning at her, “Next time, I’ll let you

take control. You can play the Queen for

real.

Chloe’s face flushed red. “Sleep, let’s sleep!”

Damon snickered, holding Chloe tightly, and soon fell asleep.

When Chloe woke up, it was almost noon. She opened her eyes, unsure when she had drifted off to sleep..

Damon felt her movement and opened his eyes as well. His chilly gaze softened instantly at the sight of Chloe, and

he leaned over to peck her nose.

“I feel like it’s been ages since I woke up to see your face. I’m not used to it.”

Chloe chuckled, snuggling into Damon’s embrace.

After some sweet moments, a servant came asking about lunch, and only then did Chloe tug Damon out of bed.

By the time they arrived at the dining room, cries could be heard. Chloe stopped in her tracks, expressionlessly

listening to the commotion inside.

“I’m sorry, I deceived you. I didn’t actually witness Jasmine’s cremation. I was young then. I only knew she was sent

to the crematorium. Everyone said that’s where people were cremated, so I assumed Jasmine really died.

“Are you really sure Chloe is your granddaughter? Even though I didn’t see Jasmine’s cremation, her severe illness

was real. You don’t want to be deceived by those with ulterior motives. That Chloe is a cunning woman; she

wouldn’t dare to venture into the palace unprepared.

“No matter what, I didn’t mean to deceive you.”

Queen Julia’s voice echoed after a while. “You know, because of your words, I missed more than thirty years of my

daughter’s life. Do you know how I’ve been living all these years, every day, every moment? Ava, how could you

make me suffer for so many years?”

“I didn’t, I really didn’t, your sadness hurts me more than anything. I’ve been treating you like Jasmine would have,

I’ve been hoping you’re happy every single moment.”

“Your Majesty, Ava was only seven years old at the time. I don’t believe she intentionally deceived you. Even if she

did make a mistake back then, could you forgive her for me and Becky’s sake? I know Becky messed up this time,

but we’ve grown up under your care, you’ve always loved us, and we love you dearly. Could you stop being mad at

us? Ava didn’t sleep all night. She’s afraid you’re mad at her…”

“I’m really sorry, if Chloe really is your granddaughter, then I truly feel guilty.”

The dining room fell silent for a moment, and Queen Julia didn’t speak any further.

Chloe stood silently in her place, her face devoid of any expression. She understood the Queen’s helplessness and

reluctance.

During the thirty odd years Yasmine was separated from the Queen, it was Ava who played the role of a daughter

by the Queen’s side. If one were to compare, Chloe, as the suddenly appeared granddaughter, really didn’t share

the same level of intimacy with the Queen as Barbara and Becky did.

The gap was there, and it was something that could never be filled.

Chloe’s eyes narrowed.

Chloe and Yasmine were grateful for Ava, Barbara, Becky’s existence. But all of this was under the premise that

they enjoy their comfortable lives in

peace.

“Everyone, get up. Chloe will be here for lunch soon. You should leave so as not to disrupt her meal.”

After a while, Queen Julia spoke, leaving Ava gritting her teeth in anger.

Not disrupt Chloe’s meal? What was so important about her that even eating required a good mood. She had been

sobbing for so long, and in the end, it wasn’t as important as Chloe’s meal?

Chloe raised an eyebrow, took a deep breath and led Damon into the dining room.

Queen Julia, who was initially frowning, immediately smiled upon seeing Chloe. “Chloe.”

Barbara furrowed her brows at the door, her eyes flickered when she saw Damon beside Chloe. “Mr. Harper.” she

uttered softly, feeling a bit flustered.

But Damon didn’t even glance at her.

“Are you hungry?”

“Mhm.”

Queen Julia immediately stood up, guided Chloe to sit beside her and ordered the servants to serve the food.

Ava and Barbara were totally unprepared for Damon’s sudden appearance. Seizing the opportunity, Ava sat across

from Damon, eagerly saying, “Mr. Harper, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I must tell you, Becky’s face requires an

urgent surgery abroad. I was wondering if you could let her go.”

“No way.” Ava’s words were coldly interrupted by Damon.

Ava froze, “Mr. Harper, Becky is just a kid. Her mistake was made in a moment of impulse. If she doesn’t get

surgery, it’ll mar her life. I hope you can help her. Please, arrange for a doctor. I’m begging you.”

“Mistakes are mistakes. Even if she’s just a kid, she’ll have to pay for her actions. It’s only fair.”

“But Mr. Harper, considering the current circumstances, Becky is actually the victim.”

Damon lifted his gaze, his deep, icy gazes sweeping over Ava.
