The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1701

Fiona didn’t even notice the glint in Chloe’s eyes, she simply waved her hand dismissively. “What’s the big deal about cutting a cake? It’s the same old routine each year, not worth getting worked up about. I’d rather not cut it at all than have to face those annoying people later”

Chloe’s lips curled slightly, “I thought you might regret it.”

Fiona shook her head, “I’m sick of these birthdays. You’re quite interesting, you know that? If it weren’t for you, I’d probably still be dealing with those two women.

Chloe lowered her head, gently scratching the kitten’s chin, watching it contentedly close its eyes and purr. She couldn’t help but curve her lips, her voice calm yet tinged with a sense of nonchalance. “I’m not that great of a person, I hold grudges and I don’t let go of things easily.

Silence filled the room. A few seconds later, Fiona burst into laughter. And then came a long, continuous bout of laughter. “You… you really are quite interesting”

Chloe nodded, candidly saying, “I feel the same way.”

Fiona paused for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter again. “You… you’re so funny.”

The cat in Chloe’s arms was startled by Fiona’s laughter and burrowed further into Chloe’s embrace. Chloe gently soothed it

She accepted Fiona’s laughter and approval with grace. She didn’t dislike this girl who wore her emotions on her sleeve. At least she didn’t sense any malice from her.
