Chapter 620 A Jealous Man Is a Terrifying One
A hint of surprise flickered through Noah's eyes, but he soon composed himself.
"It's nothing. Just a few indecent words. The key is that Mr. Joseph came to his senses in the end," he said.
Chloe sneered. "Came to his senses? I wouldn't give him such a compliment."
Noah changed the subject, "By the way, I read on the entertainment news that Mr. Joseph got back with Xavia?"
"I don't know. Maybe," Chloe replied, biting her lip and forcing a smile.
"Don't be sad. There are plenty of good men in the world. I'll introduce you to someone if you like," Noah comforted her gently while patting her shoulder.
"I don't want to date for now. Being alone is fine... And currently, I have some things to take care of."
Whether it was Jake or Joseph, both had proved that her judgment was poor. She should have learned a lesson from her failed relationship with Jake, but she ended up getting hurt again.
"What are you busy with? Work?" Noah asked.
"I'm selling off the Johnson Group and am heading to the southern region."
When Noah heard the word "southern region," he was stunned. "Where in the southern region are you heading to?"
"Jade Street."
He furrowed his brow. "Jade Street? If memory serves me right, that place was torn down.”
"What?" Chloe was taken aback, "How do you know?"
"I can’t remember. I think I saw the news about it on TV. It was an old residential area, and there were safety issues. Besides, there weren’t many people living there anymore.”
A look of sadness crossed Chloe’s eyes when she learned of this, and she felt disappointed. "I see..."
In other words, her hopes of finding her grandparents were bleak.
"I suggest you sell the company and wait for your baby to be born before going to the southern region. It’d be more convenient and safer for both you and the child that way as it’ll be a long journey."
"You're right. It would be inconvenient to run around with a big belly," Chloe said.
"Think it over carefully and let me know if there's anything I can help with," Noah offered.
With a wave, Chloe said, "No, no, no. I couldn’t possibly trouble you any more than I already have."
Noah smiled gently, his brown eyes reflecting her figure. "It's fine."
She was supposed to be the pampered princess of the Sullivan family, yet she was tormented beyond recognition by a toxic relationship. Over the course of twenty years, she had endured unimaginable hardships. He wanted to help her in any way, other than reconciling with Joseph, of course.
Across the street was a Rolls-Royce.
Joseph observed as Chloe engaged Noah in cheerful conversation. Her face was adorned with a genuine smile, starkly contrasting her cold demeanor when speaking with him. Look at what she
was doing when he gave her the chance to come out to relax. As soon as she was set free, she went looking for another man.
Lucas touched his nose and said, "Sir, Vince is waiting for you."
They had successfully captured Vanya last night, but she remained tight-lipped despite all their effort to make her speak. With no other option, Vince had to seek Joseph for help. Fortunately, Joseph's injuries were not severe, allowing him to move around freely as long as he took care of his health.
"Unlock the door," he commanded as his eyes shot daggers at Lucas.
Lucas shuddered in fear. A jealous man was clearly a terrifying one. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
As Chloe and Noah walked and chatted, a sudden shadow fell over them. She froze in her tracks and turned around to see Joseph towering behind her, his narrowed eyes fixed on her with an intense and penetrating gaze. A wave of fear clutched her when she saw him, prompting her to move closer to Noah as she feared being cut off from the outside world again.
This subtle movement did not escape Joseph's notice, and he felt a pang of pain shoot through his heart. Was she truly so afraid of him? Was it because she knew she had done something wrong?
