Chapter 606 She’s Cold Toward Him
Joseph furrowed slightly and replied in a nonchalant tone, "There was a little accident."
Xavia frowned and thought, 'A little accident? Was it an external factor or something personal?' Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
External factors should not affect the development of the situation, but things would be different if it were personal. Although she planned to switch her baby with Chloe's, she would rather that Chloe have a fallout with Joseph.
"There's nothing for you here. Leave. Stop coming here," Joseph said with an air of dismissal.
Xavia's face turned pale. She gripped her clothes and forced a smile on her face. "I was just worried about Ms. Chloe, but I'm happy to hear from her that you two have gotten back together."
Joseph paused in his tracks. Turning his head around, he gazed deeply at Xavia and asked, "Did Chloe really say that?"
"No… She said that…" Xavia stammered, then stopped. "Never mind, how it came about doesn't matter. Let's focus on the outcome."
"Speak," Joseph's voice was icy, laced with command.
"It's nothing really. Ms. Chloe simply said that you love her and that you’d still love her even if she were carrying someone else's child. She claims your feelings for each other are so deep that they wouldn't be affected by trivial matters..."
"Trivial matters? Hmph." Joseph's face sank as he squeezed out his words through clenched teeth.
‘Does she truly believe I’ll forgive her? How dare she assume something like that of me!'
Xavia pointed upstairs. "Look, Joe. Ms. Chloe is coming down."
Joseph raised his head and spotted Chloe standing near the railing, her skirt swaying in the evening breeze. Her delicate form appeared as fragile as a piece of paper, and her eyes lacked their usual sparkle. She looked at him coldly and indifferently as if she were looking at a stranger.
The anger that had just flared up inside Joseph instantly dissipated, leaving behind an unexpected heaviness in his heart. It was as if he were the one who had made a mistake.
Xavia smiled as she looked at Chloe. "You’re so lucky that Joe loves you so much, Ms. Chloe. I'm so envious of you."
Chloe ignored her. She averted her gaze, entered the room, and closed the door with a slam.
Xavia was taken aback. "Joe, she..."
"She's being unreasonable. Just ignore her," Joseph said in a frustrated tone, his mood sour.
He had already done her a great favor by respecting her decision and not pressuring her into getting an abortion, but it appeared that she did not value his act of kindness. Instead of being grateful, she showed her discontent toward him. Did she really think that he would dote on her like he used to do in the past?
“I should spend more time chatting with Ms. Chloe. As fellow pregnant women, we have many common topics. I offer her support. Otherwise, it’s easy to develop depression during this difficult time," Xavia said, her voice thick with concern.
Joseph wanted to refuse but suddenly recalled what Otto had said earlier tonight. He fell silent for a moment, then said, "There’s no need to come here. I need a companion for a conference tomorrow. I want you to come with me."
Xavia was stunned for a moment, then nodded in surprise and agreement. "Okay... But aren't you afraid that Ms. Chloe will be jealous?"
"There are no connections between us anymore—legally nor sentimentally," he replied.
Xavia was overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions after hearing those words. She felt a mix of dizziness, excitement, joy, and exhilaration. All her hardships and struggles had finally paid off.
Was Joseph implying that he was giving up on that wretched woman?
Leaning softly against his shoulder, Xavia shyly asked, "Then, about us..."
