The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Yulia pursed her lips, giving Nathan an intense look as she tentatively reached out, her hand hovering before gently

landing on his shoulder.

Nathan’s gaze slipped to the corner of his eyes, noting her touch, his brows arching ever so slightly. Yet he

remained silent. His eyes, once again focused on her, watched as she seemed somewhat unsure under his gaze.

Licking her lips hesitantly, it took Yulia a moment before she finally whispered, “So, you don’t really want a divorce,

do you?”

Nathan scoffed, “Divorce, so you can run off with Ronald?”

Yulia’s smile was tinged with irony as she nodded, “Yeah, Ronald’s been feeling guilty, and he’d treat me a lot

better. After all, if we’re divorced, I’d have to marry someone else, right? Ronald’s got his act together, and it’d

save me a lot of trouble. cough, cough, cough.”

more he wants something, the more I enjoy keeping it from him. That includes you.”

Yulia raised an eyebrow, “Fine, if not Ronald, it can be someone else. I mean, I’m a woman, not bad-looking, got a

decent figure and skin. I could settle for a decent guy. Hey, what are you—stop, that’s uncomfortable. cough,
