The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1181

“What? Injured?”

True to being a good friend, the shocked expression on the other end of the line was quite satisfying to Chloe. “What happened?” Rose set her half–eaten apple aside, her face nearing the screen as if trying to discern the details from Chloe’s face.

“Things are a bit complicated, I’ll explain when you get here. I’m fine for now. Don’t worry.”

“Okay…” Rose let out a sigh and picked up her apple again.

Chloe couldn’t help but chuckle, then asked casually, “How’ve you been? Living alone in the mansion with Morrison? He’s probably at work now, right? Is he coming back with you tomorrow?”

Chewing her apple, Rose seemed to slow down a bit, but soon she regained her composure.

“I’m doing well, and yes, living in the mansion with him. He’s busy now, and probably won’t be coming back with me tomorrow.”

Chloe noticed Rose’s reaction and couldn’t help but wonder if things were as smooth as they seemed. “Let me pick you up from the airport tomorrow.”

Rose didn’t refuse, considering she was pregnant and going out alone could be a bit concerning.

They chatted for a bit more, Chloe reminding Rose to avoid any radiation exposure before hanging up.

Afterward, Chloe opened her video player and started browsing through the recommended movies. Her eyes were on the screen, but her mind was elsewhere.

Could Rose really handle it all alone? She couldn’t imagine, would Morrison still hurt her even after she’s pregnant with his child?

When Damon returned to the bedroom from his study, he saw Chloe sitting in the chair, hugging her knees, lost in thought. He made some noise deliberately to avoid frightening her. Chloe looked up and saw him coming over through the mirror.
