The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1640

Elizabeth was practically joined at the hip to Chloe these days. On the day they arrived at their home in Greenfield

Village, Elizabeth had even brought her pillow into Chloe’s room to sleep beside her.

Elizabeth’s care was all–consuming and it left Chloe at a loss for words. Not that she minded sharing her bed with

Elizabeth; it was just that she wasn’t used to being the center of someone else’s universe.

It was not that her mother was bad. Her mother had her own way of showing love. Given her personality, she also

wasn’t the type of person to express her love so straightforwardly. But Elizabeth was the polar opposite. Her

emotions were always on display. Vibrant and passionate.

At times, Chloe found it difficult to reconcile the image of this warm, expressive woman with her stern, icy father–

in–law. But then again, maybe that was what made them perfect for each. other. An ice–cold person might just

need someone else’s blazing warmth to balance them

out.

But recently, Chloe was finding Elizabeth’s enthusiasm a little too much to handle. She thought her appetite had

been big enough, but living with Elizabeth had taught her that her stomach was quite small in comparison.c2

“Mom, I really can’t eat anymore,” Chloe finally admitted, looking at the plate full of nutritious food in front of her.

From the morning until now, she hadn’t stopped eating.

“You’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t worry about maintaining your figure. I can see you’ve got a small frame, but

after you give birth and recuperate, you’ll bounce back.”

“I know, I know,” Chloe cut her off. “The babies are what matter most right now.”

Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction. “Just let me know if you have something you want to eat.”

Elizabeth finally set aside the plate of food and sat down next to Chloe. “Eat when you’re hungry I know it’s hard,

carrying two at once. I can’t even imagine how big your belly will get. Damon, that rascal, how could he let you go

through this? It’s as if he’s showing off his virility. Don’t worry, I’ll give him a piece of my mind when I see him.”

Chloe couldn’t help but laugh. Was having twins now akin to Damon showing off? Had he even had a say in the

matter?

Having Elizabeth as a mother made Chloe feel both envious and sympathetic towards

Damon. Chloe remembered how eventful Damon and Nathan’s childhood must have been.

Elizabeth, misinterpreting Chloe’s silence, continued, “Well, nevermind. I know you’re partial to him. Let’s not

discuss this any further. It’s not something we can control, anyway. As long as you feel good during…”

Chloe blushed at Elizabeth’s blunt words. She thought she had already gotten used to

Elizabeth’s straightforwardness, but she was caught off guard again.

Chloe tried to change the subject. “Um… I haven’t seen Nathan around lately. There’s a lot of food tonight. Maybe

we could invite him and Yulia over for dinner.”

Elizabeth waved her off, “I don’t even want to think about that rascal. But we can invite Yulia. I don’t know how she

ended up with a heartless man like Nathan. Yes, let’s invite her and Anya over for dinner tonight. It’s about time I

made it up to her for being stuck with my son.”

Chloe was speechless. Elizabeth’s sons were all accomplished individuals, but to hear her talk, one would think they

were good–for–nothings.

“Leaving Nathan alone at home seems a bit harsh.” Chloe said.

Elizabeth shook her head, “It’s fine, he’s not even in P City right now.”

Chloe was puzzled, “What?” Elizabeth didn’t notice Chloe’s confusion and went off to call

Yulia.

Chloe watched as Elizabeth left the room, shaking her head helplessly. She could faintly hear Elizabeth on the

phone, arranging a time with Yulia, when her own phone rang.

It was a video call from Rose.

Ever since she returned to R City, Rose had been calling her at least once a day. It took Chloe

a moment to answer.

As soon as the video connected, Chloe saw Rose’s expression change from tired and weary to bright and cheerful.

“Hi, Chloe, tell me, is my daughter in law growing healthily?”

Rose’s jovial tone was at odds with the image Chloe had just seen. But she knew that Rose’s pride wouldn’t allow

her to show her troubles, even to Chloe.

Chloe forced a smile, “Don’t worry, she’s growing just fine. Quite robustly, actually.”

“Good. When she’s born, I’ll tell her how much I adored her even before she was born. Maybe she’ll like me more

than you?” Rose’s face lit up at the thought, her smile sweet and full of

anticipation.

“If you’re as beautiful then as you are now, I think there’s a good chance of that.”

“Ha! You think a girl’s going to judge people based on their looks?”

“Of course, she is my daughter, To win her favor, you should always take care of yourself, get plenty of rest,

maintain a cheerful mood, engage in fitness and beauty routines, and of course, succeed in your career. These are

all essential.”

Rose rubbed her forehead, “Suddenly, I feel like being a mother–in–law is a tough job. But rest assured, for the sake

of our future peace as in–laws, I will definitely do as you said. I’ll also make sure this young rascal of mine

understands just how hard his mother is working to help him win a wife.”
