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.

Queen Julia chuckled softly, “Decades ago, newborns were wrinkly and small, mostly due to poor nutrition during

pregnancy.”

Yasmine nodded in understanding.

“What about you? When you had Chloe, what was she like?”

Yasmine was silent for a moment, “Just like them.”

Queen Julia was surprised, “I thought the Summers family was always harsh to you.”

Yasmine shook her head, her gaze fixed on the glass, her smile fleeting.

“Not really. Compared to…,” she paused, “Compared to what I lost before, the fact that the Summers family let me

give birth to Chloe safely is enough to make me grateful.”

So, even though the Summers family did many terrible things, she didn’t harbor a deep-seated hatred for them.

Having Chloe was enough to offset a lot.

Queen Julia hugged her gently, “I may not know everything that happened, but I do know you suffered a lot. But it’s

all in the past now, my dear. You have a wonderful daughter, and now two adorable grandchildren. Your life is

perfect. And a perfect life isn’t just happiness and joy.”

Yasmine smiled softly, “I know, but now, I can’t really let go. And I certainly can not forgive for what happened.”

“Then don’t forgive him for the rest of your life. Make him spend the rest of his days making it up to you.”

Yasmine shook her head, “It’s not the same…”

“That means you still have feelings for him. You can’t bear to see him so low and cautious around you, yet you

don’t find enough reason to fully forgive him. Deep down, you want to forgive him. His pain hurts you, and yet you

can’t give him the one thing he wants most – happiness.”

Yasmine closed her eyes and took a deep breath, “It seems right. Sometimes I even wish he’d fall for someone

else.” It would be easier for her to let go than this current situation.

Queen Julia shook her head, knowing her daughter was confused. But feelings were something she couldn’t decide

for Yasmine. She needed to do things following her heart.

Yasmine sighed and looked back into the incubator. But then she saw that one of the babies had already opened his

eyes, yet he still lay there quietly, his gaze as if looking at her.

Those eyes, emotionless, were a spitting image of Damon.

She paused, then checked the tag outside the box to confirm it was the brother. She stepped forward, her eyes

fixed on him.

Queen Julia also noticed and exclaimed in surprise, “Oh my goodness. He’s awake.”

So quiet even though he was awake, it was surprising. And those eyes, almost a carbon copy of Damon. Genetics

were indeed powerful.

Yasmine bent down and carefully picked him up from the incubator.

Being too small, his eyes closed again, the tiny bundle in the blanket gently wiggled his head, his tiny hands still

clenching, his arms not even reaching beyond the blanket.

So tiny it was pitiful.

But just now, he had indeed opened his eyes. Although now he seemed to be playing coy.

Queen Julia glanced at the sleeping great-granddaughter and then at the great-grandson in Yasmine’s arms, clearly

tempted.

Yasmine could tell and gently handed the baby over to her. Queen Julia was extra careful, taking him into her arms,

and the baby still didn’t cry.

“I’ve said it many times, but I’ll say it again, he’s just beautiful. Have they named him yet?”

Yasmine shook her head, “I’m not sure, we can ask Chloe later.”

“There should be a nickname for now, right?”

“Hold on!”

Alyssa’s voice suddenly came from the doorway. “We really need to talk about the baby names.” Queen Julia said

with a glance at Yasmine and a helpless chuckle.

The baby boy, caught in the act of opening his eyes, had been passed around for cuddles by everyone present.

It wasn’t long before the little girl started crying with a delicate wail. The big brother, nestled in great-grandma’s

arms, opened his eyes again upon hearing the crying, his tiny head swiveling as if searching for something. Yasmine

bent down to pick her up, gently soothing her with a low voice.

As the sister’s cries came closer, the brother, who couldn’t see her, furrowed his brow and began to cry as well. For

newborns, any emotion could only be expressed through tears.

The commotion had everyone in a bit of a frenzy.

Finally, Queen Julia and Alyssa each took one of the babies. They were veterans after all, and it only took a few

minutes for the sister’s cries to cease. Soon after, the brother’s wails also came to a stop.

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

“This house is going to be quite lively from now on.”

Alyssa nodded eagerly, her happiness evident. “Oh yes, the more the merrier. Look at our Chloe, bringing two

beautiful great-grandchildren into the world in one go. I must have done something good in a past life, haha.”

Presley pursed his lips at her words, his expression turning slightly awkward. Now, looking at his great-

grandchildren, he suddenly felt that the obsessions of the past seemed trivial.

As a man with one foot in the grave, he had done all he could to preserve the Harper family legacy and successfully

handed it down to his descendants. Whatever happened after that, good or bad, he’d be none the wiser once his

eyes closed for the last time.

Why worry about what might happen decades or even centuries from now? All he wanted now was to focus all his

energy on his great-grandchildren, making sure they grew up healthy and happy.

Elizabeth came in with a scowl, her mood shifting when she saw the grandchildren in everyone’s arms. Her eyes

immediately misted over. She approached, her voice trembling, “Can I have a cuddle?”
