Chapter 444 Stop Being So Dramatic

Chloe refused to accept them. Pouting, she asked the obvious, “Why did you buy me flowers?”

“Don’t women love flowers?” Joseph seemed genuinely confused.

“Oh, please. Many people are allergic to pollen. They wouldn’t love flowers then.”

“Okay. I’ll stop buying you flowers since you don’t like them.”

For a moment, Chloe was speechless. ‘He only listens when it doesn’t matter!’

“Go ahead and ask me anything. I’ll answer all your questions.” Joseph pulled over a chair and sat down. He temporarily set his pride aside, so his attitude could be considered good.

Chloe stared at him before finally saying, “I have nothing to ask.” Noah had made it very clear.

She was angry because of Joseph’s attitude toward Xavia.

An indiscernible frown appeared on Joseph’s face. He found it hard to understand her. She talked nonstop at the forum but refused to say a word now that they were home. He wondered why. Was it the environment that caused their fight?

Joseph considered himself patient. At least, he had never shown such a good temper in front

of any woman. Chloe was the first exception.

“Why did you buy me furniture?” Chloe suddenly changed the topic.

Joseph answered truthfully, “Because your living conditions were pitiful.”

Chloe was flabbergasted.

“Why? What’s wrong with wanting you to live more comfortably?” Joseph snapped in his usual aloof tone, his temper getting the better of him.

“I’m just renting this place. I don’t need any of this.”

“We can just ask Gabe to transfer it to your name.”

It was just a unit. Of course, he could afford it.

Chloe’s lips twitched hard. She sighed again, finding the rich insufferably willful.

Once she clammed up, Joseph took a moment to collect his thoughts. “That whole business with Xavia, let’s just drop it. Nothing will happen between her and me. It didn’t happen five years ago, let alone now. Trust me. I’ll handle it well. We all need time to sort things out, don’t you think so?”

Chloe’s ears seemed to perk up a bit. It seemed like she was convinced.

Joseph continued, “And please stop being so dramatic. You always make a fuss when you face an issue. Stay calm and use your head to think if it’s sound.”

If worse came to worst and he was tempted, he would never be so eager and do that kind of thing in the lounge. In short, there was something fishy about the whole incident. Too many things conveniently fell into place. Even that lounge appeared suspicious. When someone entered it, they would feel hot all over. He thought about the possibility of being drugged, but he ate nothing and only had tea from the teapot, and he was not the only one who drank from

Chloe’s mood, which had eased slightly, darkened at his last words. She grabbed a random pillow and chucked it at him. Joseph, who was lost in thought, failed to dodge it.

“Stop being conceited just because I’m into you.”

When his expression changed, Chloe could not help feeling scared. She quickly got up sought refuge in her bedroom. She had changed the lock of her bedroom door to a password lock, adding another line of defense against unwanted visitors. She was afraid that someone might barge in. Unexpectedly, she would be using it against Joseph first.

Joseph gave up trying to smooth things over. He picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and settled in. ‘It’s only six in the evening right now. She’ll come out when she’s hungry.’

Elsewhere, as Xavia destroyed the teapot, she received Harold’s order. He demanded her to immediately head to a private hospital for an amniocentesis. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Xavia panicked. ‘Is there a hospital that can do an amniocentesis when I’m just a little over three months pregnant? There shouldn’t be. That doesn’t make sense.’

But she did not dare refuse, fearing she might give herself away. While promising him to go, she called Vanya for help.
