The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 862

Not long after, the coffee shop bell rang, and Wendy gave a small smile, waving at the flashy, skinny woman at the door.

"Elsa, over here!"

Hearing the call, the masked woman walked over and sat right next to Felix. She took off her mask, revealing a beautiful and confident face.

She then leaned over, planting a kiss on Felix's cheek, "Miss me, darling?"

The movement caused Felix to spill some of his coffee, a flicker of annoyance crossing his eyes. He managed a smile, not answering Elsa's question but instead glancing at his coffee cup.

"Oops, sorry darling, it wasn't on purpose. You didn't get burned, did you? Let me check."

Realizing Felix might have gotten burned, Elsa quickly grabbed his hand and put his fingers in her mouth. She gave Felix's fingers a perfunctory lick, then started teasing them with her tongue, clearly hinting at something more.

Wendy just smiled and calmly sipped her coffee. Felix looked a bit tense, pulling his hand from Elsa's mouth.

"I'm fine."

Elsa leaned closer, whispering, “I'll check again tonight."

"Watch yourself, don't forget you're a public figure," Felix warned her quietly.

Elsa finally stopped her antics, looking around before turning her attention to Wendy.

"Weren't we supposed to have a welcome party? Why are there only two of you?"

Wendy laughed lightly, "The actual welcome party is tonight. I just couldn't wait to get your autograph."

She glanced at Felix, adding, "By the way, I forgot Elsa get jealous easily."

Felix shot Wendy a glance, then caressed Elsa's head, "How could she? She's smart, and she knows right from wrong."

Elsa was clearly pleased with the compliment, her chin lifted high in pride.

They chatted for a bit, then Wendy grabbed her bag. "Alright, I won't disturb you two lovebirds any longer. I've got things to do. See you tonight."

Without wasting much time, Elsa dragged Felix off to a hotel.

That night, as Nathan and the others were getting ready to attend Wendy's welcome party, Damon received a call from Presley.

"The Alonso family is here. They say there's a business problem. Come take a look." Presley didn't sound pleased.

After hanging up, Damon turned to Chloe, "The Alonso family sent someone to discuss business. You go with Nathan first. I'll join you once I'm done."

Chloe nodded. "Alright, you go ahead."

Damon ruffled her hair, giving Nathan a look that clearly meant 'take care of her'.

Nathan scoffed at his brother, "She's stronger than anyone here. If anything, others will be the ones bullied by her. Do you really need to be so careful?"

Damon's gaze turned icy. "If she gets hurt in any way, I won't let it slide."

That was scarier than any direct threat, right?

"Yes, thank goodness Wendy reminded me to dress up, or I would've been so embarrassed at an event like this."

Wendy clenched her teeth, looking back at Chloe who still had that sarcastic smile. But there was a clear sense of mockery and coldness in her eyes. The corners of Chloe's mouth turned up slightly, a mysterious glint in her eyes.

"I'm hungry, I'm going to find something to eat."

She said calmly, not giving Wendy a chance to respond, then turned and walked towards the center of the banquet hall.

Nathan, hands in his pockets, watched Wendy for a moment, chuckled a few times, then quickly followed Chloe.

Nathan's laughter was like salt on Wendy's wound. She clenched her fists tightly, shooting Felix a glance. The fleeting look of sorrow in her eyes made Felix's heart tighten.

He shot Elsa a disgusted look before pushing her hand away.

"Do your own thing, I gotta hit the john."

At this, Wendy immediately stepped forward and grabbed Elsa’s arm.

"Elsa, come on, I'll introduce you to some friends. They're all here for you today."

Felix was in the corner, in the smoking area, having a cigarette, and looking at the bustling banquet hall.

His gaze wasn't on Wendy, nor was it on his girlfriend. Rather, it was following Chloe, his face gloomy, lost in thought.

After not too long, he took a heavy drag on his cigarette, then stubbed out the remaining half and tossed it into the trash, making his way towards Chloe.
