The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 858

Chloe cracked a smile, a hint of mystery in her eyes.

Nathan's curiosity was piqued by Chloe's elusive grin, his mind filled with questions.

"Can you enlighten me?"

Seeing Nathan's tall figure and his inquisitive eyes, Chloe's smile widened. "You really want to know, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I am dying to know.”

Chloe nodded, “That's the spirit.”

Nathan blinked, looking a tad confused.

“What are you on about?”

Chloe gave him a glance. “Just messing with you. I just want to keep you intrigued. It'd be a bummer if you lost your curiosity.”

Nathan thought for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on him.

“You sly fox! You were messing with me!”

Damon looked up at him. “What did you say?”

Nathan immediately clamped his mouth shut, his face filled with terror.

The trio strolled aimlessly, passing pebble paths, wooden bridges, rockeries, streams, and a man-made lake. Although they knew the Harper family mansion was vast, seeing it in person was still a shock.

After a corridor and a secluded archway, they found themselves back in Damon’s courtyard. Upon closer inspection, they found a side door.

“So there's a passage here.”

Chloe mused, crossing a field of flowers to find a round shallow pool.

In the center of the pool was a cylindrical fishpond, where fish were swimming inside. Chloe sat by the pool, watching the goldfish with fascination.

“It's a shame it's chilly now, otherwise, soaking my feet here would be really nice.”

Nathan frowned at the thought.

"Yeah, the water here can be heated. You can soak your feet even in cold weather." Damon replied nonchalantly.

Chloe was taken aback, “Really? I was just thinking out loud.”

Damon pointed to the edge of the pool.

Chloe looked down and found a small compartment. She pressed it a few times and it opened, revealing a temperature control function. In no time, she tested the water, and it was indeed getting warmer.

She was both surprised and amused. “Why did you even think of installing a heating function for this pool?”

Damon looked at Chloe for a while, a flash of surprise in his eyes. “I dreamed about it.”

Chloe was taken aback, then burst out laughing. “What a weird reason.”

Damon looked at her calmly, his face serious. “I really did.”

Chloe just smiled softly, bent down to test the water again, and found the temperature had gone up a bit more.

Just then, Nathan suddenly shouted in surprise.

“Holy crap, my brother wasn't lying!”

Chloe stiffened, then looked up at Nathan.

“What was he not lying about?”

“About the dream he just mentioned! I remember, one morning, he suddenly had people build this shallow pool in the yard and specifically asked for a heating function... It was so bizarre and such a big deal I asked him what was going on?.He said he dreamed about it, dreamed about someone soaking their feet here at night…”

Anya pouted, her little hands holding the phone, moving it around, making the screen shake constantly.

“I can… give you kisses… Mommy really… likes my kisses…”

Hearing the word “mommy” from Anya's mouth, a wave of annoyance washed over Nathan. He corrected her again, “That's your sister, not your mommy!”

"...Oh..." Having been reminded so many times, Anya didn't pay much attention to it and just answered casually, then said, "Then Nathan, do you miss me?"

"No."

As soon as he finished speaking, Anya immediately looked unhappy.

Nathan quickly corrected himself, “I miss you, I miss you, I miss you!”

Anya's eyes curved into crescents. "When you come home, I'll give you ten, no, a hundred loving kisses…"

Nathan chuckled, “I don't want to drown in your drool.”

Anya didn't understand what Nathan meant. She just touched her mouth, found no drool, then said,

"Then Nathan, do you miss Mommy…"

Nathan was about to deny it, but then Anya added, “If you miss Mommy too, Mommy will also give you a hundred passionate kisses like me…”

Nathan was stunned. Would Yulia give him a hundred kisses?

His eyes narrowed a bit, his mind involuntarily flashing back to the day he accidentally saw her sitting on the living room couch, feeding Anya.

That day, the room seemed especially bright, her exposed skin looking smooth and delicate under the light...

His throat bobbed unconsciously a few times. The heat inside him was slowly rising, his heartbeat accelerating in an instant.

A hundred kisses from Yulia... Man, talk about an irresistible temptation...
