The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070 

Chloe slowly turned her head, her gaze drifting over Damon, who was still eating gracefully, and settled on Nate standing at the door. Her eyes blinked rapidly. She didn’t say anything. 

Nate’s serious and slightly melancholic eyes also flickered. His gaze swept over the few people at the dining table. Everyone at the table was also staring at him. He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. 

Royce put down his cutlery, his eyelids slightly drooping as he looked at him, “Nate, are you staging a rebellion?” 

Nate was taken aback and quickly looked at Damon, who was eating leisurely. “Sir…the…the criminal…escaped?” Damon also put down his cutlery and calmly wiped his mouth with a napkin. 

“Criminal?!” 

Elizabeth suddenly shouted, “It’s just us here. Where’s the criminal?!” 

Nate’s hand trembled slightly, “But Mr. Harper said…he…was…threatened…like he was kidnapped…” 

Everyone turned their gaze to Damon. Elizabeth’s eyes were wide, “Are you…are you saying that I’m the kidnapper?!” 

Damon didn’t respond. 

“Then what do you mean?” Elizabeth pointed at the bodyguards around her, glaring at Damon, her eyes reddening with anger. 

Royce’s face darkened at the sight of his wife being treated this way. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, 

“Damon!!” 

Everyone in the dining room became tense. 

Royce was a very steady man, calm and composed, rarely showing his emotions. Whether in the past or present, few people had seen him angry, and even fewer people had heard him raising his voice. Of course, except when it involved his wife. 

His current state was truly a rare sight. The anger radiating from him was intimidating, and everyone held their breath in tension. 

Alyssa and Presley also remained silent. They, too, thought Damon’s behavior tonight was over the top. He, indeed, needed to be taught a lesson. 

Only Elizabeth blinked her eyes, turned to him, and said, “Don’t be angry…You’re scaring me.” 

Royce immediately reigned in his anger, deflating like a pricked balloon, suddenly calm. He held Elizabeth’s hand and said softly, “I’m not angry with you.” “They are your sons. Don’t be too angry…” 

With a helpless look on his face, Royce turned his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, staring at Damon. 

“Aren’t you going to apologize to your mother?” 

Damon raised an eyebrow, handing his bowl of soup to Nate. 

“Finish this first.” 

Nate couldn’t help but swallow. Somehow he sensed poison in the soup? 

He hesitated for a moment, not taking it. When Damon’s gaze lightly swept over him, he immediately stepped forward, trembling as he took it, staring at the unfamiliar soup, closed his eyes, lifted the bowl, and drank. 

This was Damon’s order, and he had to obey! 

“Did I tell you I was kidnapped?” 

Now, it was payback time. 

Nate was stunned. Just now, on the phone, Damon clearly said that he and Chloe were under serious threat. He wouldn’t have called him if it wasn’t something important, right? 

But indeed, he never mentioned “kidnapping” from beginning to end. He shook his head, “No.” 

Elizabeth was taken aback and looked apologetically at her husband, “We seem to have misunderstood Damon.” 

Royce coughed lightly, squeezing her hand, “Don’t speak.” 

Elizabeth understood and nodded. In such situations, it was best to pretend not to know. 

Damon asked again, “Did I ask you to bring guns?” 

Nate helplessly said, “You said to bring as many people as possible…I thought…I’m sorry, sir, it’s my fault!” 

Damon looked at Elizabeth and calmly said, “Do you still feel hurt?” 

Elizabeth pouted, “Then why did you call them here?” 

“For the soup.” 

Oh, so that was it! 

Everyone understood and sighed in relief. 

“But…but I specially prepared that for you! You…you’re wasting the soup I worked so hard to make!” 

Elizabeth lifted her head to look at her husband. This was a battle she couldn’t lose! 

Damon seemed unbothered. He ordered Nate to take away the two pots of soup on the table. 

“Take it down and share it with everyone.” 

“Damon, your mother personally made that soup for you.” Royce said sternly. He was not going to back down for his wife. 

Nathan touched his nose on the side. Yulia tugged at his sleeve, leaning over, looking worried, “Think of something, what should we do?” 

Nathan looked helpless, “How should I know? One’s my dad, the other’s my brother. Neither of them is willing to back down…” 

Yulia was worried, “Your family is really interesting.” 

Nathan raised an eyebrow, laughing carelessly. “Thanks for the compliment.” 

Yulia glared at him. Seeing the standoff where neither was willing to back down, she pursed her lips and glanced at Chloe. 

Chloe glanced back at her. Their gazes met in the air, and then both looked at the nutritious soup prepared for them on the table. Their gazes met again. A second later- 

Royce- 

“Royce- 

They spoke simultaneously. 

Royce looked at them, “What is it?” 

Chloe and Yulia looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said at the same time. 

I’m on my period today.” 

After saying that, Chloe and Yulia’s faces turned red. They were really left with no other choice! 

To deal with this family, they had to abandon their dignity. 

The dining room fell silent again. Royce looked puzzled, “Both of you at the same time?” 

Yes.” 

“Yes.” 

They smiled at each other. At this time, if they didn’t lie, their husbands would be in trouble! 

Damon and Nathan both turned to their wives at the same time. 

“You guys on your period?” 

“You guys on your period?” 

How could they not know? And what did it have to do with whether they drank the soup or not? 

Chloe shot Damon a knowing look, while Yulia quietly tugged on Nathan’s sleeve. 

In the brief span of two seconds, the two men’s gazes sharpened instantly, and then both silently turned away. 

Seeing this, Alyssa timely chimed in, “Alright then, let’s just put these soups away for now. We don’t want to make the kids uncomfortable.”
