The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1177

They didn’t give him a smidgen of attention. This time, it seemed like Elizabeth had really made a mess of things..

Damon looked down at the woman beneath him, her face not completely clean, a slight smile on his lips.

“You are breathing okay now?”

Damon asked out of the blue, reminding Chloe to take a deep breath unconsciously.

“Huh? Oh… ugh…”

Just as she was coming around, the man covered her mouth. She immediately widened her eyes and tried to push

his shoulders.

It was Chloe taking the initiative, but now, they were in the living room, a public area, not to mention, her parents

were just across….

Yet, Damon didn’t pay her any mind, kissing her deeply without any hesitation. Not until she was just about out of

breath did Damon finally let go of her. She leaned on the couch, looking up at him, catching her breath and

supplying her lungs with oxygen.

Her eyes, tinged red and slightly teary, glared at Damon unhappily, then glanced past him towards the opposite

side. The two people across still hadn’t noticed them. That made her sigh in relief.

“You are not allowed to go into the kitchen with Mom in the future, got it?”

Chloe realized she’d been lied to by Elizabeth. Her feelings were indescribable.

“I told you not to go into the kitchen, didn’t I?!” Across from them, Royce’s voice was deep and authoritative,

clearly scolding Elizabeth.

After a while, Elizabeth’s weak voice chimed in, “I just wanted to cook for you, and besides, Chloe wanted to learn

some skills from me, I couldn’t just refuse her…”

Chloe felt so wronged. Was the blame just shoved onto her like that?

“You want to teach her?”

Elizabeth frowned, “What’s wrong with me teaching her? Didn’t you say that you’d never forget my cooking?!”

Chloe raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding something.

Sure enough, Royce was silent for a while, speechless at Elizabeth’s words. He’d said some sweet nothings just to

marry her, and he’d paid quite a price for it over the years. Now, he was even more at a loss for words. words.

Chloe lightly poked Damon’s chest with her finger, Damon’s gaze moved from her face to her eyes.

“Hmm?”

“Mom said that when Dad proposed, he couldn’t stop praising her cooking. I’m not sure I buy it.”

Damon raised an eyebrow, “You sure she said he couldn’t stop praising her?”

Chloe thought for a moment, “To be accurate, Dad was overcome by her cooking.”

“Haha,” Damon chuckled softly, “Maybe he was really overcome.”

Maybe he was overcome by her ability to survive that kind of cooking..

Chloe pursed her lips, not believing Elizabeth’s claim. She didn’t believe that a person’s cooking skills would decline

to the point of almost blowing up the kitchen.

Chloe swallowed, then said, “My reaction just now was so timely, otherwise, the kitchen might really have

exploded!”

“For us, the kitchen exploding is nothing new.”

Chloe widened her eyes in shock, her mouth agape. How could Elizabeth have just said that she was a great cook?

Elizabeth was totally spoiled! Spoiled by Royce! It was because Royce kept praising Elizabeth’s cooking skills with

sweet words that she didn’t realize her actual skill level.

Chloe was incredibly curious as to how much a woman could believe a man, and how Royce managed to keep this

obvious lie going for so many years.

“How many times have you blown up the kitchen? Are you still daring to go in?”

“Hush, hush!” Elizabeth’s voice calling for silence was clearly self–deceptive,

“If you dare to go into the kitchen again, watch me break your legs.”

“How many times have you said that, aren’t you tired of it? And keep your voice down, Chloe’s here, I just bragged

about myself. Could you at least leave me some dignity…”

Chloe’s eyelid twitched. She couldn’t imagine how a man as calm, reticent as Royce could fall in love with someone

like her mom. The world was indeed wonderful, especially with love. Obviously, Royce had no idea what to do about

Elizabeth’s behavior.

After a moment of silence, Elizabeth was the first to speak.

“Alright, lunch is ready, let’s go eat.”

In the dining room, everyone stared at the black jelly–like substance in front of them, their indifferent faces

occasionally twitching.

Chloe sneakily watched Royce and Nathan Harper’s expressions, finding their subtle expressions very amusing. Up

until now, these two weren’t planning

to reveal the truth and shatter Elizabeth’s illusion? It seemed that not only was she spoiled by Royce, but also by her

sons!

“Eat up, it may not look good, but I assure you it tastes decent. Honey, you try first…”

Where did her confidence come from? Clearly, it was brought out of her by men.

Royce elegantly picked up his fork, his face calm and composed, but Chloe, who now saw through everything,

successfully detected his inner fear. She watched as Royce put the food on his fork into his mouth, his chewing still

elegant, noble, calm, and compose.

“How is it? Honey, how does it taste?”

Royce put down his fork, wiped his mouth, and nodded casually, “It’s okay.”

Chloe almost choked on her own saliva that she’d generated from watching Royce eat.

He was so composed! Didn’t he know there were two rational people here?

Indeed, Elizabeth laughed happily and then invited them to start eating.

Chloe looked at the dark–colored pasta in front of her, swallowing hard. This food… was it really edible? JUust the

indescribable smell alone was making her feel queasy.

Her eyes shifted and she had an idea, smiling as she said, “The weather is getting colder. Since we’re all together,

how about we have beef soup instead?” Royce and Damon both turned to look at Chloe. Looking into Chloe’s

indifferent eyes, they looked at her as if she was a savior.

“Beef soup?” Royce showed some interest in the beef soup.

Damon nodded. “In this kind of weather, nothing beats a bowl of beef soup.”
