The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

e words hit Ronald like a ton of bricks, and he fell silent, his gaze shifting to Yulia, filled with an intricate web of

emotions.

Yet Yulia simply couldn’t contain the smile that Nathan’s words brought to her lips, a mixture of shyness and quiet

joy that sent a chill through Ronald’s heart.

He had thought he could brush aside the fact that she had confessed her love for Nathan, assuming it was just a

convenient excuse to get rid of him. But now, even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn’t. It was just too self-

deceptive.

He knew that Yulia wasn’t the type to lie, and the look on her face now was undeniably genuine.

Nathan, no longer paying Ronald any attention, swung the car door open, ready to usher Yulia inside.

“Yulia!” Ronald called out again, and she turned to look at him, the smile instantly fading as she faced him, leaving

her expression cold and distant. “You sure about this? What about Anya? Have you told him about her? You’re just

going to trust him that easily? You’re not afraid of what might happen later?”d1

Yulia’s response was even chillier, “This is my business, and I’d appreciate it if you’d stop bringing up things that no

longer concern you.”

Disappointment filled Ronald’s face. “Do you even realize the consequences if something goes wrong? Can you

handle that?”

There was a brief silence before Yulia spoke again, “If I can’t handle it, then I’ll stick to him like glue. Wherever Anya

is, that’s where I’ll be.”

The comment stung Ronald as though he had been pricked by a needle. Was she implying that they had discussed

Anya’s situation the previous night? Did she really also disclose Anya’s background to Nathan?

In a bout of impatience, Nathan cut the conversation short, brusquely guiding Yulia into the passenger seat.

“Enough chit-chat with him.”

He slammed the door shut and walked over to Ronald, giving him a cold stare. “Get a grip, dude. Stop acting like

some love-struck puppy. You pushed her away yourself, and now you want her back? You think the world revolves

around you?”

Nathan chuckled at his own words and gave Ronald a once-over with a scoff.
