The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 72

"What are you worrying about? Why?"

Lance asked with a frown. He knew Chloe might be emotional after their breakup, but judging from today's situation, she shouldn't be bullied by anyone.

"Lance, don't you wanna know who that guy in the car was today? Chloe just broke up with you. She might lose control of her emotions. What if she does something impulsive, like hooking up with some rich guy just to piss us off."

Lance's expression immediately turned cold. "Chloe's not like that! She's always been disciplined!"

They had been together for eight years, and even during their student days, when they were most impulsive and romantic, they never crossed any lines, and at most they ever did was a regular hug.

Even then, sometimes, she'd feel embarrassed. Besides, she had been by his side for years, and he had seen almost every move she made like working, resting, always within his sight.

How could she possibly do something like that just to get back at him?

"Always... disciplined, huh?"

Keira murmured softly, her eyes flashing with a sinister gleam.

Chloe, wait. I'll remember this!

"I hope Chloe doesn't do anything stupid. That guy... maybe it's just a coincidence."

She whispered, mentioning that guy from today again.

"Alright, don't worry about it. When Amelia comes out later, I'll take you home. Stay away from the company today. I bet reporters are swarming the entrance."

Although Lance said this, his eyes showed a hint of concern.

"Hmm, my grandma already let me know."

Keira nodded gently, then felt her face being lifted.

Lance's hand gently touched her still-red face, his eyes filled with love.

"Sorry you had to go through that. Does it still hurt?"

"...No." Keira bit her lip, trying to hide her grievances, but tears still fell.

"Dummy, if it hurts, just say so. What's there to be endured in front of me?"

Keira shook her head and buried her face in Lance's chest.

"I'm not in pain. With you by my side, caring for me, and loving me, no matter how much it hurts, I don't feel it. My heart feels surrounded by sweet honey, not hurting at all..."

Lance wrapped his arm around her waist and fondly kissed her hair.

"Mmm."

Chloe took Alyssa home. The old lady was getting on in years, and after some chatting with Chloe, she couldn't hold on and needed to rest for a while.

"Chloe, you must be tired too. Why don't you take a nap as well? The innermost inside on the right side of the second floor."

Chloe smiled awkwardly, "No need, Grandma. You go rest. I'll just take a walk in the garden later."

She knew very well that the room on the second floor was Damon's bedroom!

The last time was embarrassing enough. How could she possibly go in there again?

Alyssa looked disappointed, "Alright, Chloe, just treat this place as your own home, do as you please."

"Okay, Grandma, you go rest."

"Alright!"

It was already evening, and dinner would be ready soon.

The last time she was here, she only glanced at the garden. Now, taking a closer look, it was gorgeous.

The flower branches were neatly trimmed, each with its unique charm. In this season, several flowers were always about to bloom, shyly waiting to burst forth, which was very appealing.

The garden's freshness and floral fragrance involuntarily made Chloe, a perfumer, envision several scents in her mind.

There were a few flowers she wasn't familiar with, and she couldn't help but bend over to smell them. As she did, a dull pain came through her waist.
