The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Yulia couldn’t help but smirk silently to herself on the sidelines.

Chloe, too, rose from the couch, her hand on her hip, leaning into Damon’s embrace as she sauntered over, a faint,

tender smile gracing her face.

She believed that Nathan was truly the clown of the household. His talent for playing the fool was both exasperating

and endearing.

But as the saying goes, love is blind. Perhaps if someone else were in Nathan’s shoes, suddenly discovering they

had a daughter would be just as unbelievable, especially a daughter who had been under his nose the whole time,

Bystanders can only see the surface of things, too many complexities that only he would understand. Piling up one

consider the possibility. He was probably scared to death of the disappointment if it turned out not to be true.

He knew coming to Damon for answers would invite a “harsh talking-to”, but compared to the potential letdown, he

figured a few harsh words would be easier to swallow. As long as Damon denied it, that would be the best answer

for him.

With Damon and his father’s strict and detached dispositions, if he were similar, the family would be suffocating.

He had a knack for charming people. A little exasperating, sure, but not necessarily a bad thing.

He made his rounds, greeting Elizabeth, Royce, and Alyssa.

Alyssa responded cheerily, rubbing her cheek against Anya’s and beckoning Yulia over.

Yulia approached, and Alyssa took her hand, looking up at her warmly. “Yulia, bless you for keeping Anya, and for
