The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 808

Alyssa's eyes widened as she said, "Business people nowadays are so sly, with no integrity at all! Back in our day, when we bought something, the owners always prioritized giving us the best products. They would feel ashamed if they sold bad stuff, but now it's the complete opposite... It's beyond me!"

Instead of arguing, Chloe calmly responded, "Those people can't make much money. They're just greedy for quick profit, and they'll fail somewhere eventually."

"You're so wise, just as expected from a female CEO," Alyssa said, pointing at Chloe.

Chloe responded with a small smile. When did she become like this?

"Lunch is almost ready, let's have an orange to wake up our taste buds."

Remembering how everyone's faces twisted from the sourness earlier, Chloe swallowed hard and firmly shook her head to refuse Alyssa's offer.

"I have a good appetite, no need for stimulation." Fearing Alyssa might insist, she quickly turned to Hannah and said, "Hannah, could you prepare two servings of lunch for me?"

"No problem."

Alyssa didn't push it, and everyone returned to the villa together.

Despite Chloe's instructions not to prepare too much food, the table was still laden with dishes.

Chloe's taste wasn't singular, so every time she came for a meal, Alyssa was unsure what Chloe liked to eat. Today's meal was still abundant. After a while, Alyssa, who had been watching her, finally spoke up.

"Chloe..."

"What?"

Chloe was surprised by Alyssa's sudden address and looked up to see her.

Alyssa looked at her with a smile and said, "Your taste seems to have changed a lot recently?"

Chloe watched as the servant adjusted the greasy and light dishes around her.

Her eyes slightly twitched, her face also turning slightly red, "His... his taste is lighter, and I've gotten used to it over time..."

"I see." Alyssa smiled slightly.

Chloe returned the smile and ate some more food.

After lunch, Alyssa, as usual, wanted to take a nap. Chloe had planned to go to the office and then come back with Yulia and Anya in the evening. However, when she and Alyssa were eating fruit in the living room, Nate arrived.

"Alyssa, Ms. Chole..."

Chloe was a bit surprised by Nate's arrival and asked him, "Nate, why are you here?"

Nate looked a bit awkward, scratching his hair and seeming hesitant.

Seeing his hesitation, Alyssa grabbed an orange and tossed it to him.

"Take it easy, have an orange first."

Chloe’s eyes twitched and shot a glance at Alyssa, who winked back at her.

Hannah chuckled helplessly on the side.

Nate seemed surprised and quickly said, "Thank you."

Alyssa waved her hand, "Eat first."

Chloe watched as Nate peeled the orange. His movements were rough, tearing the orange in half and not bothering to eat it slice by slice. Instead, he broke off several slices at once and stuffed them into his mouth.

Chloe normally didn't like sour things, especially fruits like lemons and sour oranges. She just couldn't handle them. So, when Alyssa first offered her an orange, she instinctively refused.

Now watching Nate, this rugged man, eat a quarter of an orange in one bite, she wondered how sour it must be.

Seeing Nate's face freeze and then twitch as he bit into the orange, Chloe couldn't help but laugh.

Nate said, "I can have someone edit them together..."

"Nonsense! What's the point of a composite photo?"

Alyssa was immediately angry at the suggestion.

Nate also looked apologetic towards Chloe.

She understood that it was a difficult situation for Nate. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's just an engagement ceremony. I've seen other people's ceremonies, very simple. Some don't even have wedding photos. The important thing is the wedding ceremony itself, and we can take wedding photos before the wedding. We don't need to display our photos at the engagement ceremony."

Alyssa frowned, "I don't understand the weddings of you young people nowadays. But now there's no way, rather than displaying a fake composite photo, it's better not to display anything!... But there's still some time before the engagement ceremony, Damon should be able to return..."

Nate glanced at Alyssa, pursed his lips, seemed to want to say something, thought about it, and finally held back.

Once they decided not to display photos, it saved Nate some trouble.

Afterward, Alyssa added, "I don't have any photos of Damon from when he grew up, and that naughty kid Nathan, taking a picture of them is like killing them."

"But, I have their baby photos, Ms. Chloe, you interested in taking a look?"

Alyssa gave Chloe a wink, making her feel a tingling sensation in her heart.

However, Hannah on the side helplessly chipped in, "Alyssa, it's time for your nap! Why don't we wait till Yulia comes over in the evening to show them, else you spill all the beans now, what will you chat with them later?"

If Alyssa continued to flip through the albums and yakked about their childhood, there was no way she would get her afternoon nap today.

Hannah, in all possible ways including being blunt, made Alyssa nod in agreement repeatedly.

"Absolutely right! Can't spill the beans now, gotta keep them curious! I'll show you when I get back tonight!"

Chloe felt a bit helpless.
