The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1168

She looked up at the man, his handsome face still carrying that somewhat suppressed but heart–wrenching expression.

“Quit worrying over me, okay? Our beef with the Alonso family ain’t your fault. As long as Wendy and I aren’t a thing, there’s always gonna be bad blood. I’ve never given a hoot about what the Alonso family could do to me, I don’t need to.”

Chloe got it. He was talking about the time she had discouraged him from taking action against Wendy.

“But if the Alonso family starts to retaliate, what if they get mad?”

Better to keep the status quo and stay on neutral terms with the Alonso family than to suddenly make enemies.

“Don’t overthink it”

He cut her off, “If the Alonso family doesn’t cut me some slack, I am not gonna let them off the hook either.” Chloe was silent for a moment, then nodded, “Alright. I’ll take your word for it.”

He was right. She was so cautious because she didn’t want him to have a hard time. On second thought, although the Alonso family was a big deal, it wasn’t something she should have to worry about.

Even if it meant wasting some time and energy, even if there were detours, Damon had no reason to be crushed by the Alonso family. Not to mention she wasn’t about to let Wendy, this nagging woman, off the hook that easily.

She even constantly reminded him to stay rational for her sake. But she didn’t realize that this so–called rationality was his most painful moment.
