The Cat-Like Miss Preston: Mr. CEO begs for Reconciliation!-Chapter 131: Chloe Is So Cute When She’s Shy

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Chloe Is So Cute When She’s Shy

Chloe Preston’s fair face flushed beet red. Burning hot, she climbed off him and shot him an embarrassed glare.

This man, he’s so indecent.

Donovan Xavier raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Tsk, our Chloe is so adorable when she’s shy."

Chloe Preston glared at him.

"Are you angry?" Donovan asked. "You’re so cute even when you’re angry. I like you more and more every time I look at you."

Chloe Preston, "..."

Donovan Xavier chuckled, lifting the covers and leaning back against the headboard to look at her. "It’s getting late. Come to bed."

Chloe Preston eyed him warily. "Are we really just sleeping? You’re not allowed to do anything to me."

"I’m not that much of a beast," Donovan said. "You’re pregnant, so I’ll restrain myself. Besides, your husband is still injured. Be good now, come get in bed. First thing tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Hearing his last sentence, Chloe Preston’s thick lashes fluttered.

She climbed into bed, lay down, and turned on her side to face him. "Are we really getting married?"

Donovan Xavier leaned in, resting his forehead against hers. "Yes."

"Chloe," he murmured, "are you happy?"

Chloe Preston pursed her lips. "It’s complicated. To be honest, I’m very anxious. It doesn’t feel real."

"What if something unexpected happens tomorrow?"

Donovan Xavier leaned down and kissed the tip of her delicate nose. "No. Tomorrow will be perfect. We’ll get married without a hitch."

Chloe Preston nodded.

"Sleep now." Donovan Xavier’s gaze was full of warmth as he gave her lips a light peck.

Her lips were soft and sweet. Her scent was intoxicating, enough to drive a man mad.

Chloe Preston scooted closer to him, taking one of his large hands and intertwining their fingers.

She smiled faintly and said, "Husband."

"Mm."

"Husband..." she called out again, her voice as soft and sweet as honey.

Donovan Xavier’s voice was a little hoarse. "What is it?"

"Nothing," Chloe Preston said. "I was just thinking that tomorrow, you’ll be my real husband. I’m a little excited."

"Donovan Xavier, you have to be good to me. You can’t bully me after we’re married, and you definitely can’t be cold to me."

Books always say men change after marriage. I wonder if he’ll be like that too.

His voice was low and pleasant. "Mm, I’ll definitely treat you well. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you."

"As for bullying, I’ll be completely obedient to you everywhere... except in bed."

"My Chloe is so sweet. I can’t even dote on you enough, how could I ever bear to be cold to you?"

Chloe Preston gazed at him deeply, her eyes filled with affection. She couldn’t help but call out again, "Husband..."

This time, the word came out with a coquettish lilt she hadn’t intended. Her face instantly turned crimson, and she quickly pulled the covers over her head, not daring to look at him.

So embarrassing.

Donovan Xavier’s dark eyes twinkled. He chuckled, his chest vibrating with amusement. "Chloe."

She didn’t make a sound.

Donovan Xavier held her hand, gently squeezing her fingertips. "Baby," he murmured, his voice low and hoarse, "that sounded so nice. I love hearing it."

"Be a good girl and say it again."

Chloe Preston remained silent.

Donovan Xavier tugged at the covers and laughed again. "Alright, then. You can owe me for now. When my injuries are healed, you can say it to me over and over again."

Chloe Preston, "..."

The night was long, and the moon was bright and clear.

「Rowan Villa.」

Inside a room, the lights were as bright as day, but the atmosphere was frigid.

Jane Zane leaned back on the sofa, her posture languid. She lazily raised her eyes to the two people standing before her. "Julian told me you were his most capable assassins. So why is that Chloe Preston still alive and well?"

"I have no more time to wait. I want you to get rid of her within three days."

The man listened, his expression outwardly neutral, but his brow furrowed slightly.

The man lifted his gaze slightly and asked, "Madam, must this woman really be killed? She hasn’t done anything wrong!"

Jane Zane sneered. "She stole the man my daughter loves. That is her greatest sin! My daughter will only be happy when she’s dead. Besides, you’re just here to follow my orders. You do what I say."

Noticing the subtle change in his expression, Jane Zane asked, "What? Do you know her?"

At this, the woman standing beside him immediately spoke up respectfully. "Of course we don’t know her. Rest assured, Madam. We will deal with her as quickly as possible." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Mm. I’ll be waiting for your good news." Jane Zane gave a delicate yawn, looking a little sleepy. "I’m tired. You may go now. I hope you won’t disappoint me. Otherwise, I’ll return you to Julian and let him torture you slowly."

The woman trembled faintly before turning and leading the man out of the room.

The two walked with heavy steps under the moonlight, neither saying a word.

The woman was the first to speak. "We can’t delay any longer. This woman must die within three days. Otherwise, when we return to President Walden, we’ll be the ones suffering a fate worse than death."

The man still said nothing.

「The next morning.」

The sun was warm and bright, and a gentle breeze was blowing. It was a beautiful day.

Donovan Xavier drove Chloe all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
