Chapter 567 Into the Water
Xavia cracked a faint smile before taking off the scrunchie on her wrist and languidly tying up her hair. "Calm down. I mean no harm." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe rolled her eyes. "You mean no harm? I truly admire your ability to lie through your teeth."
Xavia always put on airs whenever and wherever she went. She behaved kindly and considerately as if she was not competitive at all. Ignorant people might think that her character was as such.
Seeing that Chloe was not fooled, Xavia turned around and put on a more serious act. She looked at Chloe tenderly but a look of provocation escaped her. "I'm about to give birth soon. I have to ask you and Joe to take good care of my child."
Chloe raised her brows and stated aloofly, "Joseph and I broke up. You don't have to ask me such things. You can do it yourself."
Xavia was stunned since happiness had come to her in such a sudden manner. For a moment, she repeated in disbelief, "You guys broke up?"
"Yes, just exactly as you wish." Chloe remained calm even while facing Xavia. She scoffed and uttered, "Maybe Joseph will pay you more attention when I'm not around. Oh, no…. That would have happened in the past, but I’m not so sure about that now. After all, he thinks that you're a fickle bitch."
Chloe purposely increased her volume when she called Xavia a fickle bitch. The bystanders around them turned to look at Xavia.
Xavia became livid but she could not refute what was said. She indeed had a lot more chances now that Chloe had broken up with Joseph, but a real break-up and a mere dispute were different essentially. She would know what it truly was after seeing Joseph's reaction when he came by later.
After calming down, Xavia crossed her arms and condescendingly stared at Chloe who was still in the water. "Aren't you coming up? Why are you still in the water? Isn't it uncomfortable to be in there for so long?"
"I'm not done swimming yet," Chloe replied calmly before she agilely dived into the water and swam in another direction.
Frustration hit Xavia. She felt that her provocation had proven futile.

Chloe thought that Xavia would be gone by the time she finished swimming a full lap. She did not want Xavia to notice something when she got out of the pool. After all, her swimsuit was slim-fitting and did not hide her pregnancy.
However, Xavia asked the coach to help her toward Chloe while the latter was on her way back. Chloe became vigilant and her skin erupted in goosebumps. Although Xavia was assisted by a coach, a beginner would not learn how to swim so quickly. Chloe's sixth sense told her that Xavia was about to make a scene.
As expected, Xavia said something to her coach when she got closer to Chloe. After that, the coach helped Xavia to Chloe's side before leaving.
When Chloe got close to Xavia, the latter asked, "Can you teach me, please? My coach left."
Chloe ignored her, wanting to get out of the pool and leave as quickly as she could. When Xavia felt that she was ignored, she narrowed her eyes and leaped into the water. In the next moment, water gushed into her mouth. She tried her best and struggled to stay afloat.
Xavia extended her hand to Chloe and sought her help. "Please, I didn’t have a firm grip on my board and slipped. Save me."
Chloe was stunned. "You don't know how to swim?"
Xavia did not even have a chance to answer sinking below the surface.
