The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Even though their marriage wasn’t one of true love, now their issues had become the talk of the town.

Couldn’t he, for the sake of the years they had shared a bed, leave her with some dignity? What was she supposed to do as a nominal wife when her husband was out gallivanting?

And where did she truly stand? She didn’t even know what her proper attitude should be.

A wife? Did he ever consider her one? Putting on a show for herself was just ridiculous.

Perhaps he had grown tired of her these past few days, and was hinting that she should initiate the divorce?

Ronald noticed her hesitation and spoke up again. “Yulia, now that Anya’s become the center of attention, if you keep dragging your feet…”d2

“Ronald,” Yulia suddenly cut him off.

“What?”

“Anya is important to me, but getting caught up in the mess with Nathan again would just be another misunderstanding. What are you really thinking?”

Ronald paused for a moment, “Yulia, I can’t find any record of this supposed biological mother of Anya you’ve been mentioning.”

“So?”

“Is Anya actually your daughter?”

Yulia’s grip on her phone tightened, and after a few seconds, she let out a cold laugh, “You have quite the imagination. Whose daughter?”

“Nathan’s.”

The cold laugh on Yulia’s face froze, and her complexion turned pale. For a long time, she said nothing. “I never had any interaction with him before.”

“Nathan used to be a drifter, carefree and wayward. He’s been to many places, and you, coming from the South to the North, have also moved through several cities. In three of those cities, there’s a chance you and he may have crossed paths, however big or small. The odds are too slim. It’s rare for two people to even have that kind of probability of fate in the same city. I don’t know if it was a fluke or if you planned it, but other than him, men rarely appear around you. If Anya is your daughter, then the only father I can think of is Nathan.”

Yulia seemed dazed. Had they really crossed paths in three cities?

She couldn’t remember. All she knew was that Nathan was her last lifeline. When she knew his identity and happened to be in the same city, she did the craziest and boldest thing of her life.

As for the child…

“Yulia, Anya’s right there, and I have plenty of opportunities to prove your relationship. You don’t need to hide it from me. The only person you need to hide it from is Nathan. Everyone can know, except Nathan. Yulia, if you keep delaying, you might really lose Anya.”

Yulia’s breathing hitched. Ronald really had her by the throat. He always knew what mattered most to her.

“Even if I divorce Nathan, it doesn’t mean we’ll end up together.”

Ronald chuckled, “That’s okay. At least, I’ll have a legitimate chance to pursue you again.”

“Have you thought about my position in the company once we divorce?”

“I’ll give all the shares to you.”

Yulia let out a scoff, “Even if I’m not with you?”
