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.”

Mid-sentence, she felt his hands tightening around her neck, and by the end, she could barely speak. She slapped

his arms, coughing so hard tears nearly spilled from her eyes.d2

Nathan eased his grip slightly, glowering at her fiercely. “Yulia, if I hear Ronald’s name from your lips one more

time, you believe I could end you right here?”

After coughing twice, Yulia looked at him and suddenly laughed. “Nathan, you’re jealous.”

His attractive face stiffened, “What did you say? Don’t flatter yourself. I just can’t stand the sight of Ronald. The

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,

cough, cough.”

Nathan felt like he was about to burst with frustration. She was so good at hitting all the right nerves, even ones he
