The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 859

When he looked down, a certain physical reaction made him blanch.

"Damn it…"

He muttered under his breath, using a pillow to conceal his problem. Out of sight, out of mind.

Just thinking about that woman caused a reaction. Nathan, are you going nuts?

"You… What did you just say?"

Hearing Anya's childish voice, a trace of guilt crossed Nathan's mind. Looking at the shaky video on his phone, he couldn't make out Anya's face. The phone camera was now focused on her clothes.

A pink pig, with its nose pointed upwards, was in frame.

Absurd. He cursed internally, not understanding the aesthetic tastes of kids these days. What's so appealing about a stupid pig?

“Nothin’.” He responded grumpily, watching as Anya's cute face came into view in the video.

The pig wasn't half as cute as this face. It kind of reminded him of that woman, Yulia. Was Yulia this cute as a child too?

"Do you... miss Mom? There'll be kisses..."

Anya quickly listed off the perks, fearing Nathan might say no. Her big eyes blinked, looking like she was heartbroken.

Nathan nodded, "I miss her terribly!"

"Hehe... I'll tell Mom..."

Anya giggled happily, but her little face fell again after a moment, "When are you coming back... I miss you…"

Her cute face dropped in an instant, her large eyes glistening as if tears were about to fall.

Nathan softened, "I'll be back in a few days."

Anya nodded vigorously.

After chatting for a while, Nathan, who hadn't seen Yulia for a while, finally couldn't resist asking.

"Where's your sister?"

"Upstairs... Hehe, I'll go find her..."

"No..."

Before Nathan could refuse, the video shook, and Anya had already climbed off the couch, phone in hand, starting to climb the stairs.

It wasn't easy for her little legs to climb the stairs, but she managed. Then came a little running before she pushed open the door to Yulia's room.

"Mom…"

Yulia had just finished tidying up the messy room caused by Anya's antics and was planning to change clothes to take a shower. Just as she was unbuttoning her black dress, she heard Anya's voice. She turned around, and her half-unbuttoned dress slid down.

Not bothering to cover herself, she asked softly, "Anya, are you done talking to Nathan?"

There was a thud from the phone. Was this little rascal deliberately showing Yulia to him?

His voice sounded a bit restless, but Yulia just responded indifferently. Then, silence fell between them. Yulia held the phone, staring at the dark screen as if waiting for something. After a while, Nathan couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere. He took a sip of water and picked up his phone.

"Let's hang up if there's nothing else."

Nathan's face suddenly appeared on the screen. He was undeniably good-looking, and his muscular body exuded a strong masculine charm.

Yulia blinked. Hearing that he wanted to end the call, she immediately shut her mouth.

"Um… Nathan…"

Yulia, the deputy general manager of the company, was always efficient and concise in her speech, without any unnecessary chatter. Life's hardships had shaped a sensitive and delicate woman into a tough and resilient one.

"What are you up to?"

When Nathan suddenly saw Yulia's beautiful face, he couldn't help but take a few extra glances. Overall, her personality might not be pleasing, but her face was beautiful, and her figure seemed quite impressive.

"When are you planning to come back?"

Nathan smirked, and before he could respond, perhaps feeling that her question was inappropriate, Yulia quickly added,

"The Dailey Corporation's year-end shareholders meeting. I…"

Nathan's face hardened instantly. His dark eyes stared at Yulia for a while before he suddenly laughed.

Of course, she was living off these things. He was also crazy. Why was he arguing with her?
