Chapter 338 Unless It Wasn’t Xavia That Night

Confronted by her hopeful gaze, Joseph averted his eyes and calmly said, “Let’s wait until the fetus reaches four months and have an amniocentesis done before we make a decision.”

Xavia’s joyous and excited emotions had barely begun to soar before she was doused with a bucket of icy water from head to toe. Her voice raised sharply as she shouted, “What do you mean by that?”

With an indifferent demeanor on his chiseled face, Joseph replied, “Do you really want me to spell it out for you?”

‘It’s impossible. There’s no way he could know. My plan is flawless. He must only be suspicious now. That’s right. He doesn’t have any evidence. I just need to stay calm.”

With that thought in mind, Xavia tried to reach out for Joseph’s hand, but he saw through her intention and subtly evaded her

grasp.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you have any questions, just say it directly. We’ve known each other for so long. Just say whatever is on your mind,” she said.

At her words, Joseph suddenly let out a laugh, filled with irony and a chilling undertone. Indeed, they had known each other for so long, and he had just discovered how colorful her past had been.

“Fine, I’ll just ask then.”

“Yes, go ahead,” she responded.

‘Are you absolutely certain that you became pregnant after that night we spent together?”

“Well, yes, I do find it incredibly coincidental, but since the child has come into this world, perhaps it’s a twist of fate,” Xavia strained to maintain her composure, forcing at compassionate smile upon her face. “Is something wrong? If you don’t believe me, I can wait for the four-month mark and undergo amniocentesis.”

The depths of Joseph’s eyes resembled a pot of spilled ink, dark and impenetrable. He closed them briefly, and after the surge of anger, a miraculous calm settled within him. When he reopened his eyes and looked at Xavia once again, he seemed to be looking at an insignificant

ant.

He had given her a chance due to their past relationship and her physical condition, but she still refused to tell him the truth. So, he would accompany her and play this game until the end.

Xavia did not have any friends in Cloude, so there was no way she could delete the medical records in such a short time. In other words, there must be someone helping her from the shadows.

He wanted to find out what her ultimate goal was.

“We have to get the amniocentesis done. It’s Grandpa’s requirement for me to marry you,’ Joseph declared firmly.

Xavia was shocked. “You’ve already spoken to your grandfather? Does he…approve of me?”

Suppressing the hint of scorn in his eyes, Joseph responded, “Given that you’re carrying our child, it’s my responsibility to ensure you and the baby’s well-being. However, his prejudice against you may not disappear immediately.”

“I understand. If I were in his position, I’d probably feel the same way.” Xavia smiled, but her gentle gaze held a hint of compromise, evoking a desire in man to console and empathize with

her.

“You don’t have to go back to Cloude anymore. Settle down in Aesper. I’ve purchased a villa next to the hospital. Lucas will take you there later.”

“Okay,” Xavia replied obediently, “I’ll get out of your hair then. By the way, was it Jane who told you about my pregnancy?”

Joseph’s gaze flickered. “No, it was Chloe who told me.”

Surprised and angered, Xavia exclaimed, “How could Jane try to sow discord between you Ms. Chloe?”

and

“Chloe and I have ended our relationship.”

Xavia scrutinized Joseph’s facial expression carefully. He appeared distant and cold, his eyes. reflecting a rational and detached nature.

That’s right. This was the Joseph she knew-a man who categorized everything based on personal gain. He adhered to the moral principles of an ordinary person but lacked warmth and sensitivity.

She vividly remembered the day Joseph agreed to be with her. She had naively believed that this flawless man had genuinely fallen in love with her. However, her hopes were shattered when she

discovered that he had only agreed to their union because she was the “suitable”

choice to be his wife.

She suspected that Joseph saw Chloe in the same way-merely as a suitable candidate for marriage. Even though neither of them had truly captured Joseph’s heart, she was more successful than Chloe. At least, in the end, the woman standing by Joseph’s side would be her.

After Xavia left with Lucas, Gabriel emerged from the restroom in Joseph’s office. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at Joseph and said, “See? She’s still pretending.”

Last night, when he asked Joseph if he wanted to take care of Xavia, Joseph had unexpectedly answered yes. He even mentioned that she was a virgin before him and considering her poor health, he should take responsibility.

His reaction startled Gabriel, and he immediately told Joseph that he had slept with Xavia before. Even if she was really pregnant, they should rely on scientific methods like amniocentesis to confirm whether it was his child.

Joseph held a cigarette between his fingers, his chin sporting stubble that had grown overnight, giving him a slightly disheveled appearance, like a fallen deity who had lost some of his divine radiance. He sounded a little dejected as he said, “I believe Xavia was truly a

virgin that night.”

“You’re just too noble and righteous. It’s normal to be unable to distinguish such things,” Gabriel smirked. “We grew up together, so do you think I wouldn’t be able to tell?” After a slight pause, he teased, “Unless it wasn’t Xavia that night.”

Joseph’s head jerked up suddenly, his mind racing as hidden turmoil stirred within his eyes.
