The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1080

She liked him, right?

They had a thing before...they used to date... Why couldn’t they be a couple?!

In the entire 90-minute movie, she couldn't even muster the courage to reach out and hold Ronald's hand that was right next to hers. It was as if it was a sign that if she held his hand, something was bound to happen that night. Something they both knew.

Until the movie ended, Ronald casually took her hand, guiding her through the crowded place.

"It's half past eight, are you going home? Or do you want to grab a drink before we head back?"

Grab a drink...

Yulia's eyelashes fluttered, and she nodded, "Sure, we can get a drink."

Ronald smiled, leading her into his car.

Yulia had no idea where Ronald was taking her. She stayed silent on the ride, her eyes darting past several vending machines outside the window, her hand unconsciously clenched.

When they passed a pharmacy, she finally broke the silence.

"I feel a bit unwell. I want to stop by the pharmacy."

Ronald pulled over, frowning at her, "What's wrong with your stomach? Does it hurt a lot? Should I take you to the hospital?"

"No need, I think it's just indigestion. I'll get some medicine from the pharmacy. Wait for me in the car."

Saying that, Yulia got out of the car and headed into the pharmacy. She bought some pills for digestion, then picked up another type of medicine. She got some water from the dispenser in the pharmacy, looking at the pills in her hand, biting her lip, her face hidden behind her hair full of sadness.

Everyone was pushing her. Some wanted her to leave the Dailey family, Ronald wanted her back, and Nathan was pushing her to divorce!

Why was it so hard to protect what she had to protect?

She felt like she had nowhere to go. Her heart was filled with pain and despair. She was helpless, she couldn't rely on anyone, and she had no other choice.

She gritted her teeth, downed the pills with water. Her stomach felt cold from the water. As she felt the pills go down, her eyes watered. She tossed the cup into the trash, composed herself, then left the pharmacy.

Back in the car, Ronald looked at her, worried, "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"

Yulia shook her head, "I suddenly don't feel like getting a drink anymore."

Ronald started the car, "Then I'll take you home."

"I'm not going home. I booked a room at The Watson Hotel."

Ronald's brows furrowed, his voice grew heavier.

"Yulia..."

"Let's go to the hotel. I don't want to go home tonight..."

Yulia interrupted Ronald, she had nowhere else to go, right?

Her determination made Ronald press his lips together, but his gaze followed the line of Yulia's jaw to her neck, his body stiffened, then he silently drove on, still heading towards The Watson Hotel.

Nathan stood at the entrance of The Watson Hotel, his gaze cold as he stared at the entrance.

Every time a car pulled in, his eyes would lock onto it like a dart, until he confirmed that the people in the car were not Yulia and Ronald, then he would look away, searching again.

He tried to call Yulia multiple times, but her phone was always off.

So annoying! It was just a movie, did she really need to turn off her phone?

Or did she do it on purpose! Intentionally not letting anyone disturb her?

Even though he was standing at the entrance of the hotel, his anger about to reach its limit, but he was still wondering, would they suddenly change their minds and not come here tonight?

Go somewhere else? Or straight to Ronald's place?

"Welcome back!"

At this moment, Yulia's face was flushed, her body weak, and she turned to the guard and nodded.

She didn't think about why the guard who never greeted her suddenly greeted her today. Because of Yulia, the car was let into the estate.

When they arrived at the apartment building, Yulia unbuckled her seatbelt and practically fled from the car. As soon as her foot touched the ground, her body went limp, and she almost collapsed.

"Yulia!"

Seeing this, Ronald quickly got out of the car, and went to Yulia's side, catching her wrist. When he touched her skin, he clearly felt Yulia's body jolt and her burning temperature.

"Don't touch me!"

Yulia tried to shake off Ronald's hand, but found him getting even closer.

"Yulia, are you sick?"

"No...I'm fine...you can go now, I'll head up..."

"No way, you're not well, I'm taking you to the hospital."

"No...it's not necessary..."

"Yulia!" Ronald sounded annoyed, he sternly said, "Stop playing around. Come to the hospital with me..."

He was jabbering away, forcing open the car door next to her almost aggressively, practically shoving Yulia inside.

"No..."

Yulia was struggling, barely getting a sound out, when suddenly, her vision blurred. Ronald, who was supporting her, was abruptly yanked away, followed by the sound of fist fighting.
