The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Seth’s father hadn’t left much for him and his mother. Patty was clueless about running a business, and she didn’t have the skills to keep afloat a company that was barely scraping by as it was. But they couldn’t just give up on it. It was all they had to support their lives.

Seth had to attend school, and Patty wouldn’t dream of having him manage the company at the expense of his education.

If it weren’t for these tough times, Patty would never have thought of going back to her home country, let alone entrusting Danielle, to the care of the Ellis family.

The young Henry Ellis had been entwined with Analia for years, and Patty had cared for Danielle most of that time, their bond as close as mother and daughter. However, it was for Danielle’s good to leave her with the Ellis family. With them, Danielle could receive better care, if the Ellis family had any conscience left.

But did the Ellis family have a conscience?

Ever since Seth learned that the Ellis family had decided to hold a funeral only for Henry, and they actually did just that, he couldn’t help but be biased against them. Their actions hadn’t shown the slightest respect to Analia, even going so far as to insult her.d2

They were husband and wife, and Analia had given the Ellis family a daughter. Yet in the end, she didn’t even have a proper status, let alone the right to enter the Ellis family’s home. She died without that recognition. With the Ellis family being so heartless, what kind of life would Danielle have with them?

And now, standing before him, was a girl with an arrogant demeanor, intent on dictating his future. At twelve years old, the same age as Danielle, she was already thinking about controlling other people’s lives.

But now wasn’t the time to worry about Danielle. From their recent conversation, it was clear that his mother, who knew nothing about running a company, was still relying on the Ellis family’s mercy. So, his situation wasn’t any better than Danielle’s.

Seth’s gaze shifted from the girl’s pretty face, which kick-started his momentarily stalled thoughts. “I can’t promise I won’t make you mad, so you might as well like someone else.”

“Is liking someone that casual?” Cicely’s bright eyes sparkled with smile, clear and pure. “You’re telling me to like someone else just because you say so? But I like you, and I want you to be my boyfriend, and later, my husband, and the father of my kids.”

“I didn’t say you can’t make me mad, so I’m asking you to charm me, right?” Her laughter was carefree, and after a pause, she added, “But I’m not that easy to appease.”

For the first time that day, Seth’s face showed a significant reaction as he furrowed his brow at the beautiful girl in her white dress.

Shameless. She was twelve years old, but thinking so far ahead. How long can the affection and promises of a twelve-year-old last?

Was he actually concerned?

Danielle, standing aside, had forgotten to cry, observing the unusual behavior in Seth today. Today, he spoke at length, showed many expressions, and his gaze often lingered on the girl named Cicely. Was it because of Cicely’s pretty dress, or because Cicely was naturally beautiful? Or maybe because she was a pampered princess, someone everyone instinctively paid attention to and liked?

Danielle’s sobbing stopped as Seth glanced at her briefly, his face returning to its usual expressionless state before he walked away.

Danielle’s eyes flickered, thinking this was the Seth she knew. She didn’t chase after him, nor did she cry again, holding the two tissues Cicely had given her, standing still as Patty walked away with Seth.
