The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1168

She looked up at the man, his handsome face still carrying that somewhat suppressed but heart–wrenching expression.

He cut her off, “If the Alonso family doesn’t cut me some slack, I am not gonna let them off the hook either.” Chloe was silent for a moment, then nodded, “Alright. I’ll take your word for it.”

She even constantly reminded him to stay rational for her sake. But she didn’t realize that this so–called rationality was his most painful moment.
