The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Man, this was freaking awesome. After playing second fiddle to Damon for more than two decades, it felt like Nathan had finally got his moment in the sun, thanks to his little girl.

Yulia never expected him to be so over the moon about this of all things. She wasn’t sure how to feel about this. Shouldn’t he be more thrilled about suddenly having a daughter? Well, he was just a big goofball for being so chuffed about edging out his big brother.

Damon’s brow furrowed slightly, his expression cooling off.

Chloe paused for a moment, then, realizing what was going on, pressed a finger to her lips to hide her smile.b2

That Nathan, what a character. Life with him must be full of laughter. He was like a big kid, really. His way of thinking was totally off the beaten track.

Nathan was still basking in his own glory, looking all smug. Even Yulia, standing beside him, felt the urge to throttle him. Some people just didn’t get slapped enough growing up.

Little Anya could sense Damon’s mood was off and carefully slid off his lap. She was smart as a whip. She had got her dad’s knack for reading a room, except she was a thousand times better at it.

Damon glanced at her briefly, then subtly looked away.

Anya ran to the foot of the stairs, craning her neck to look up at Yulia and Nathan. “Nathan, Nathan, do you have a daughter?”

Watching Anya’s innocent face, Nathan felt his heart swell with affection. “Yep!”

Anya’s little mouth puckered, and her brows furrowed slightly, her big eyes filled with sadness. “Where is she then…”

Nathan walked down the stairs and scooped Anya up in his arms. “Come here, sweetheart, say ‘Papa.'”

Yulia immediately covered her face with her hand. Who was going to deal with this troublemaker?

Anya was totally confused by Nathan. “What’s a Papa?”

Nathan laughed, “Papa is another word for ‘Dad.’ Now, say ‘Dad.'”

Anya’s eyes flickered nervously, unsure of what to do, and she looked to Yulia for guidance. Those eyes were filled with anxiety, questioning, and hope.

Yulia’s heart was a mix of tenderness and guilt. She knew that from the very first moment Anya laid eyes on Nathan, she felt an inexplicable closeness.

The fact that Anya called Nathan ‘Dad’ at first sight nearly scared Yulia to death. She knew, it was an innate bond.

Throughout their time together, she could feel that both Nathan and Anya were being pulled by this connection.

Anya liked Nathan. In her heart, Nathan had long been her “buddy,” her closest person.

The one she considered her closest person, in her understanding, was the ‘Dad’ role she had never met but had always longed for. And clearly, Nathan had already filled that role.

Anya thought that she wasn’t his daughter. Still, Yulia kept it a secret. Indeed, no woman could be more heartless than her.

Yulia managed a small smile and nodded gently, “Go on, Anya, call him ‘Dad.'”

Anya’s eyes sparkled with surprise, and she turned her gaze back to Nathan. After staring at him for a while, her little mouth quivered, and a cry trembled in her voice. “Is Nathan really my Dad?”
