Chapter 354 She Bought Me These Clothes to Spite You?
Joseph delicately towel-dried his hair and spoke with an air of indifference, “Can’t you wait for four months?”
“It’s not a matter of whether I can wait or not. It’s that you don’t trust me and don’t want to be with me.”
“If it’s my child, I’ll take responsibility.”
“I agree, and I’m willing to do the amniocentesis. But after knowing each other for so many years, am I really so unworthy of your trust?!” Xavia’s voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes. glistening with unshed tears. She fought against their release, determined to keep them at bay.
Joseph remained unmoved, his piercing gaze fixed upon her. “Did you sleep with Gabe?”
Xavia’s scalp tingled as she froze. She had guessed correctly. Gabriel must have told Joseph the truth!
“Yes, I had a one-time encounter with him. But it happened before I met you. Can you say with one hundred percent certainty that you’ve never made any mistakes in your life?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Confronted with her accusations, Joseph remained calm and composed. “Since it wasn’t your first time, where did those bloodstains on the bed come from that night?”
Every fiber of Xavia’s being tensed up, refusing to relax even for a moment. She understood the gravity of this question. She had to provide an impeccable answer.
“I was born in a rural area and entered an art academy at the age of 18. In order to improve. myself and enter high society, I admit that I’ve made many mistakes. But I had no choice. I needed to survive. You know, back when I had no fame, the only way for me to earn money was by performing at restaurants! Later, I worked hard to get to where I am today and become a true violinist.
“After getting with you, I felt inferior and was afraid to tell you the truth. I made a foolish decision and underwent hymen restoration surgery.
“Five years ago, I had to leave you because of an illness, and now, after five years, we’re reunited and expecting a child. I don’t want to miss this opportunity with you.” Xavia sobbed, tears streaming down her face. She tightly grasped Joseph’s hand and continued, “And what about you? Have you completely lost all feelings for me? Have you forgotten our early days of struggle and building our careers together?”
Joseph lowered his gaze, his eyes falling upon her face as he slowly withdrew his hand. “I haven’t forgotten. I’m grateful for your companionship, but I despise deceit,” he said with a measured tone.
“I’m aware of my mistake now. Can’t you give me a chance? I understand that your grandpa
doesn’t like me. Whether I can become your wife or not doesn’t matter to me. But I don’t want my child to grow up without a father from the moment of birth!” Xavia said, emphasizing the
word “child.”
Joseph’s face sank. The child was innocent.
“I won’t abandon my child. But if I find out that you’re deceiving me in some way,” Joseph said, his jaw tightly set as he glanced at Xavia coldly. “You’ll know the consequences.”
In other words, he would only accept the child.
Xavia feigned ignorance and said, “Joe, thank you for being willing to accept me. It’s getting late, and I won’t disturb your rest. By the way, is the outfit you’re wearing today the one Ms. Chloe bought? I happened to run into her this afternoon.”
He frowned. “You met this afternoon?”
“Yes, Ms. Chloe even intentionally tried to provoke me, saying she’d buy you a suit as a gift. I didn’t expect her to actually do it.” Xavia sighed softly. “It’s partly my fault. If I hadn’t come back, none of this would’ve happened…”
”
Joseph’s handsome face grew cold. “She bought me these clothes just to spite you?”
“Yes, that’s right. She even said that no matter how cheap the clothes were, as long as she gave them to you, you’d definitely wear them,” Xavia said in a serious manner, “I personally think there’s no need to wear cheap clothes. They can cause skin allergies.”
