The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 730

"No, Chloe, you've got it all wrong. I didn't discuss this with Keira, I just think…"

Lance trailed off, and Chloe didn't fill in the silence. In the past, she would always find herself making excuses for him, but now, who was he to her?

Slowly, Lance realized that Chloe wasn't going to cover for him like she used to. He paused, then confessed, "I asked you here for your own good…"

Chloe scoffed, "Oh? For my good?"

Her sarcasm made Lance fall silent on the other end of the line, his deep voice filled with helplessness.

"Chloe, you need to see yourself as part of the Summers family. You know I never wanted to hurt you. In the future, the Summers and the Olsons will practically be one family. If you keep the relationship you have now with the Summers during this international competition, and when your grandma gets cornered, I'm afraid she'll, she'll try to make things difficult for you."

Although Lance was treading carefully, she still heard it.

Before she could respond, Lance continued, "You're part of the Summers, Chloe. You're smart, so don't make mistakes intentionally. If grandma really wants to make you suffer, what do you expect me to do?”

Chloe laughed, "Isn't Keira going to be in charge of the company by then? Why do you keep bringing up Carolina? What can you do for me? Are you stuck between choosing Keira or me? You're overthinking. What have you ever done for me, other than making my difficulties worse whenever I'm in trouble?"

"Let's leave it at that. We can talk about the future another time. Don't worry about me, just keep supporting your fiancée…no, your wife."

Lance knew the answer. He took a deep breath on the other end of the line, then said, "I still hope you'll give it some thought."

Chloe hung up without a word.

Before long, Keira's calls started coming in again.
