The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1017

Everyone looked at Damon, whose gaze was fixed on a couple not too far away. He was eerily calm. But they all knew that icy chill was radiating from him.

Nathan shielded his eyes with his hand. The scene was too shocking.

Stanley was still in his previous pose, frozen for a few seconds before he turned his head to look at Damon. That smug expression was provocative no matter how you looked at it.

Damon's face was tense, his eyes sharp with an intention to be piercing Stanley.

Thankfully, Chloe didn't cling to him for too long. She straightened up after a few seconds and looked up at him.

"I'm going home now."

Stanley was in high spirits, nodding without hesitation. "Alright, go ahead. See you tomorrow."

Chloe's forehead twitched slightly at his almost jumping-for-joy expression, and she nodded reluctantly.

"Okay."

She turned to look at the crowd. "Don't cause such a scene again, this isn't the U Country."

"Okay, got it."

The satisfaction was palpable as Stanley waved goodbye to the two of them.

"Ned, tell everyone to disperse."

Ned let out a breath of relief, nodding at Chloe. Everyone started to leave, but a few people surrounded her.

"Chloe, do you remember me?"

"Chloe, do you remember me?"

"Chloe..."

Chloe stopped them. "Of course I remember you all. But for now, goodnight."

Everyone laughed, nodding and making way for her. The look in their eyes as they watched Chloe leave was full of admiration.

Stanley stood still, hands in his pockets, watching Chloe and her group leave with delight. At some point, Ella ran up to him, her eyes bright as she looked at him.

"Hey, can I add you on social media?"

Stanley readily agreed.

Ella quickly took out her phone, typing carefully, searching for his account.

"Don't forget to share photos on your feed!"

"Sure! You'll see all kinds of pics!"

Ella was practically drooling over Stanley's beaming face, when she felt a sudden pain in her arm. Someone was pulling her away.

"What the hell, that hurts!"

Ella shook off the hand, not even sparing a glance at the person.

"Do you have a death wish? How dare you mess with anyone?"

Ella put away her phone, looking defiantly at Noah. "I think I've lived long enough. What's it to you?"

Noah's face was tense, his handsome face darkened.

"Ella, stop playing these childish games in front of me!"

Ella stared at him, her eyes full of sadness and resentment, like shards of crystal-clear glass. Another girl came over, hugging Ella so tight her face was distorted.

"Ollie, I think you're going to squeeze me to death!"

Ollie looked down at her, her tear-streaked face, and said sternly, "Pull yourself together, and stop crying!"

Ella clenched her teeth, fighting back tears, and managed a weak smile. "Who cares, he's always losing his temper with me, I'm used to it."

Ollie looked at her soft, rosy face, and couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Your face is so squishy..."

"Wollie..." Ella's face was distorted from the pinch, making her speech unclear.

"None of your business!"

Kane shrugged. "Well, it's not like it has anything to do with me."

-

Nate drove in silence, his mouth shut tight. Chloe and Damon sat in the back; the whole ride was silent.

Slowly, Chloe moved closer to Damon, resting her chin on his shoulder. "Why aren't you talking?"

Damon pursed his lips, not saying a word.

Chloe's chin wobbled on his shoulder; she watched his tense profile with amusement. "Are you jealous?"

Chloe saw Damon's eyelashes twitch ever so slightly.

"You really are jealous," Chloe concluded.

"...No."

"Then why aren't you talking?"

"I'm not jealous."

"Stanley..."

The mere mention of that name caused Damon's expression to involuntarily change.

"He's been really good to me over the years, he's a big deal in my life. But I know my heart, so you have nothing to worry about."

"I'm not jealous." Damon kept a straight face as he continued to deny.

"Really?"

Damon turned to look at her, and seeing the twinkle in her eyes that were brimming with amusement, he squinted his eyes, pinched her chin, and planted a fierce kiss on her.

"I lied!"
