The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1746

After sipping some water, the makeup artist touched up Chloe’s makeup. A short break was given in between.

Queen Julia was out there re–verifying every detail of the process to make sure everything was ready to go, which showed just how much importance she placed on this coronation.

Meanwhile, Yasmine and Chloe were resting together in the lounge. Sitting at the dressing table, Chloe gazed at herself in the mirror, her expression as calm as still water. To her, the coronation seemed just a formal procedure, something that she had to go through. After the mission was completed, she would still be the same person, and nothing would have changed.

“What are you planning to do after the coronation?” Yasmine asked, her brows furrowed slightly.

“Go back home, handle some company stuff, then stay at home and wait for the birth.” Chloe replied nonchalantly, her eyes meeting Yasmine’s reflection in the mirror.c2

“Aren’t you forgetting that you are a princess?” Yasmine countered, her expression souring.

“What does a princess do? Chloe chuckled softly, “If you’re too overwhelmed, I can help share some of your duties.”

Yasmine’s expression hardened further.

Chloe observed her for a moment before breaking the silence, “If you don’t want to do it, I think Grandma won’t force you. In my opinion, the reason she wants to pass on the throne to you is probably just to make up for you. The throne may be burdensome, but Ava and her daughter have been longing for it for a reason. After all, it comes with supreme power.”

Yasmine’s expression softened a bit, but her brows remained furrowed.

After a long pause, Chloe gently curved her lips into a smile. “If…” She started to speak but stopped, her eyes sparkled, leaving her words hanging in the

air.

“What were you going to say?” Yasmine asked, her eyes narrowing.

After a moment of silence, Chloe finally said, “The reason Grandma wants to compensate you with the throne is based on the premise that she knows you have the capability. You’re not busy with anything else, right? Rather than sitting idle, taking up this position won’t be too difficult for you. I know you’re not someone who can stay idle. Unless…”

Unless you have a special reason.” Chloe quickly finished her sentence, smiling at Yasmine.

Yasmine stared at her for a moment before scoffing, “What reason could I possibly have?”

Chloe arched an eyebrow, stood up, and began adjusting her gown in the mirror. She held the drop–shaped diamond pendant hanging from her neck and said casually, “Grandma has dedicated her life to this position. Being a ruler comes with many constraints; you won’t be able to have the kind of love that most people desire. The harsh reality is, once you ascend to the throne, it’s almost like severing all ties with love. Can a Queen really afford to have a husband?”

Chloe’s words, spoken with a smile, made Yasmine’s expression darken. After a long silence, Yasmine huffed, “Are you itching for a spanking? Daring to tease me like this? Am I really a hopeless romantic in your eyes? Can’t I live without a man?”
