The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Presley stared at Alyssa, his face turning a shade of stormy blue with anger.

“I never intended to steal them. They are my great-grandkids by right now.”

“You could abandon your grandson, and now you have the gall to claim your great-grandkids?”

Presley took a deep breath, “Fine, I won’t let Chloe know I was here, okay!? Happy now!?”

“Better off staying away.”

Yasmine and Queen Julia changed clothes and came over.d2

Presley glanced at them, his expression turning stiff as he looked away.

Yasmine gave them a brief, indifferent look. “How many children have you raised? Other than stirring up trouble, you just prove that you’re nothing but an unwanted extra. If you want to come, I won’t stop you, but don’t expect anyone to cater to your ego.”

Alyssa spoke up firmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t agree to him coming around every day.”

Yasmine’s lips curled into a faint smile. “We can’t stop him from seeing his great-grandkids. As for my daughter, she’s not about to get upset over him.”

Alyssa fell silent.

Yasmine took Queen Julia’s hand and they entered the sterile room.

Queen Julia chuckled softly, “After living together for so many years, who can truly cut ties completely?”

Yasmine hummed softly, “It’s a bit much, even for Alyssa to put on such a long act.”

Queen Julia mused, “Mm-hmm, but I think there’s some real emotion in there too.”

“How else could she make us believe her?”

Queen Julia shrugged noncommittally.

Yasmine shook her head. She wouldn’t agree to him coming every day? That was such an obvious bluff.

The two little angels were still sound asleep. Lying in their incubators, they looked so serene and beautiful it melted your heart.

Two fresh new lives.

Both were quietly marveling at life’s miracle.

“They are absolutely gorgeous,” Queen Julia said with affection.

Yasmine peered at them through the glass, her usually composed face softening with warmth. “Yes, they are beautiful.”

“The Harpers have really taken good care of Chloe. Look at the babies’ skin, so tender.”

Yasmine turned to Queen Julia, her eyes reflecting a touch of curiosity.

Julia chuckled softly, “Decades ago, newborns were wrinkly and small, mostly due
