The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1146

Chloe gave a slight smirk, “Yeah, what a coincidence.”

Was it really though?

She was a born and bred P City girl, only heard of this place, and never been here. Today was just a fluke because

Stanley had annoyed her, so she chose to come here.

Back in the day, she was the darling of the Summers family, and outdoor activities were never her cup of tea. In

the past three years since she returned from overseas, she was busy with the Olson Group, then busy with Starlight

International. She never set foot here.

This place was mostly a man’s playground, there were women too, but only a handful. She rarely set foot in such a

place, and she ran into them just like

that?

She thought back to the call she made earlier to the Harper family, the one Addie picked up. All that talk about

worrying the elders, ha… Having family ties did come with quite a few perks.

Chloe didn’t say much to Wendy, but the next second, Wendy’s gaze shifted to Damon, who was not far away. She

remembered the slap he had once given her, her face filled with hurt and fear.

In her brightly colored riding outfit that highlighted her figure, she stood at a height that was neither too short nor

tall for a woman, showing both strength and gentleness. Her already stunning face now carried a hint of

melancholy, her sadness hidden behind a façade of strength and patience. It was just right. Just the kind to make a

man’s heart melt.

She sure did have plenty to be proud of. Be it her figure, her pretty face, or her family background. If a woman

could live a life like Wendy’s, that was worthy of envy.

“Miss, this outfit really suits you. I’ve been working here for two years, and you’re the most stunning in a riding

outfit I’ve ever seen. What a sight!” The waitress who came out with Wendy saw the tension and broke the ice,

naturally thinking about her own performance.

Wendy eased her face and gave a light smile, “You’re exaggerating.”

“It’s true, miss.” The waiter next to Chloe chimed in, “Don’t believe me? Look around, aren’t they all looking at you?

If you weren’t that outstanding, how would you get such a reaction?”

Indeed, the customers choosing clothes in the store were all looking at her. The envy in women’s eyes and their

eagerness to try, as well as the astonishment in men’s eyes, all reflected the waiter’s words.

Wendy glanced around and just gave a faint smile, not putting on any airs, accepting these gazes gracefully. Seeing

the affirmation, her confidence was boosted and her face looked more radiant.

Wendy, full of hope, looked at Damon, but he was just standing by the shelf, watching Chloe pick gloves without any

expression.

Wendy bit her lip, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but it quickly vanished. Her appearance had wowed

everyone present, and at the VIP area at the entrance, a man seemed to have just come in from outside. He stood

there, taking advantage of his height to look at Wendy in her royal blue riding outfit, his eyes full of interest. “This

lady is really beautiful, Mr. Harper, do you know her?”

The man had distinct features, a high nose, and looked like a heartthrob. He spoke with an accent, turning to look at

the middle–aged man sitting there drinking coffee.

The middle–aged man was dressed in a suit, a smile on his face, but not much sincerity, he seemed very cunning.

Hearing the man’s question, he gently nodded and said, “I do indeed know her.”

The man’s face immediately lit up, very excited. “Really? That’s great.”

The middle–aged man held the cup in his hand, his fingers gently rubbing the cup, looking dignified. Although there

were traces of time on his face, his handsome features from his youth were still visible. His smile remained

constant, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Wendy was disappointed that she didn’t catch Damon’s eye. She looked away, looked at the clothes in Chloe’s

hands, gave a faint smile, and said gently, “You should pick something more colorful. For most women, these

outdoor activities are just for the fun of it. If the clothes aren’t pretty enough, there’s no point in coming here.”

Suddenly, Nathan chimed in, “Why are women just here for fun? Riding, shooting, and racing, women can

participate too Aren’t you an example? When you were young, you hung out with us, wasn’t that for nothing?”

Nathan was a bit annoyed at Wendy’s words. He knew Wendy had some skills, they grew up together, and Wendy

wasn’t just all talk. But now Wendy made women seem like airheads. But his words seemed to emphasize that

Wendy had a special relationship with them, and he also acknowledged Wendy’s skills.

Hearing this, Damon’s face instantly cooled. While Wendy looked rather smug, smiling at Nathan. “Maybe it’s

because I’ve been with you guys for so long, so I had to learn some skills. But can Chloe do the same?”

She turned her head, glanced at Chloe, and continued to smile, “…how can she compare to us who have been

learning all kinds of skills since we were young…

Hearing this, Nathan’s face suddenly changed, and he realized he might have said something wrong. However, why

did he deep down hope that this would happen? What kind of complicated emotion was this?

“I think you look like a very focused student, but on this special occasion…I suggest you dress up a bit more…”

This sentence seemed to carry some hidden meaning. Wendy praised Chloe for being a bookworm but emphasized

that Chloe was just a pretty face.

His intention was too obvious, and even Stanley caught some flaws. He looked at Wendy, then at Chloe, and

suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at Chloe and saying, “Her? The quiet and focused bookworm? Hahahaha…”
