Chapter 553 Joseph Notices Something Is Amiss

Author: Aurora Summers
Chloe's heart melted.

"Turn off the lights," she said.

"Okay," Joseph got up and flipped the switch, throwing the room into darkness.

As he advanced on her, Chloe whimpered softly, "Be gentle..."

Droplets of sweat trickled down Joseph's forehead, sliding down his face, and finally landing on Chloe's collarbone. His voice was hoarse and filled with desire as he replied, "Okay."

Men were creatures of desire in bed, driven only by their instincts, especially after consuming alcohol.

Joseph failed to notice anything unusual. He did try to be gentle, but even a light touch kindled a passionate flame within him, not to mention that they had been separated for nearly a month. They indulged in their desire for a long time, and it was not until the bed sheets were soaked that they were finally depleted of their strength and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Chloe woke up feeling drained. Joseph felt distressed upon seeing her and insisted she took a few days off to rest, and she whol

    Chloe ignored him and continued brushing her teeth, feeling guilty inside.*When Vanya received a call from Spencer, she was stunned."Are you sure?" "Yes, Ms. Xavia's baby carries chromosomal defects. They may experience stunted growth."Vanya was speechless. This would mean that the child may be intellectually challenged."What about Chloe's baby? Is that baby okay?""Ms. Chloe's baby is fine, just slightly undernourished.""You know what to do, right?" Vanya threatened."Yes, yes…" Spencer trembled with fear and his voice quivered. "I'll keep it a secret and not disclose this information to anyone.""Attaboy," praised Vanya."May I see my wife and kid?""Don't push your luck. Once Harold is dead, I'll set them free."Spencer gritted his teeth and fell silent. Upon learning that her child might have an intellectual disability, Xavia froze in disbelief. "How could I, someone with such high intelligence, produce an intellectually challenged child? Those incompetent doc

    Lucas was speechless as Chloe had a point. "All right. Don't worry about us," she said lightly before walking into the office with the folder. Joseph was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window when she entered. He turned to look at her and said, "Right on time."Feigning composure, she handed him the folder. "Go ahead. Open it and take a look."Joseph’s jaw clenched tightly as he pulled out the report. In just one glance, he knew the answer. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and then he relaxed them. 'Well, it's time to play by ear.'Beside him, Chloe tiptoed to catch a glimpse of the report’s contents.[DNA match rate: 99.9%, indicating a blood relationship.]As if a string in her mind suddenly snapped, Chloe's heart was gripped with excruciating pain, rendering her incapable of rational thought. Although she had mentally prepared herself for this, the stark reality laid out before her was still hard to swallow.Her footsteps became unsteady and she tottered. The composure she

    A flicker of sadness appeared in Xavia's eyes. She remained silent, merely nodding before turning away, consumed by a sense of despair. As she walked to the doorway, she bumped into the corner of a table, causing her to bend over in pain and clutch her stomach. Seeing this, Joseph quickly approached her and asked, "Are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?""I'm fine." Xavia turned back to glance at Chloe, saying empathically, "You and Ms. Chloe should talk. I'll come to see you another time.""Okay," Joseph said while instructing Lucas to take Xavia home. Lucas pressed his lips together, reluctant to comply but refrained from saying anything. He stole a glance at Chloe, whose eyes were red and lips were tightly pursed. Chloe did not want to appear a failure in front of Xavia, so she maintained a straight posture, struggling to contain her emotions. As he watched this unfold, Lucas felt a pang of discomfort."Thank you, Joe. I'm sorry for all the trouble. I'll be more car

  • Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love   Chapter 557 How Dare She

    A wave of relief washed over Chloe as the message was sent. From now on, she did not have to compromise or accept that child. And she would not have to see Xavia anymore. She yearned to leave behind this unhealthy relationship and pursue a normal life.Curling up on the couch, she gazed out the window at the soaring birds in the sky, longing for the same sense of freedom. In the past, when the Johnsons had oppressed her, her greatest dream was to earn enough money to travel across the country. But now that she had the money, she was carrying a child…Life was just never perfect.Chloe's mind was in turmoil, yet oddly clear at the same time. She sat quietly for a while before calling Emily to assure her that she was safe."What?! You broke up with Joseph?!" Emily's voice boomed through the phone, resonating in Chloe's ears."Yes, and lower your voice. My ear is ringing," Chloe replied."Sorry, I was just really surprised," Emily apologized, "You initiated the breakup?""Yes. Afte

    Joseph's face darkened. He gripped his pen so hard that it snapped in half. He found it difficult to believe that this was happening. Thinking back to Chloe's silent demeanor from a few hours ago, he realized she had been planning to break up with him since then. No, maybe even earlier than that.As this thought coursed through his mind, his countenance grew even darker and the fury swirling within his chest pierced him like a thousand sharp blades.Lucas perceptively sensed the changes in Joseph's emotions. He carefully approached him and asked, "Sir, would you like to continue the discussion?""Please give us a chance, Mr. Joseph. Having one more friend means having one more source of strength.""If Brairlake hadn't overstepped, we wouldn't be troubling you with this."The business partners thought they had a chance and expressed their sincerity one after another. Little did they know that their voices irritated Joseph even more. “Get out!”Joseph's sudden outburst reverber

    Chloe had carefully planned her escape this time, and Emily was the only one trusted. She definitely would not want to worry Emily by not being able to reach her. On top of that, Emily's indifferent response and not showing curiosity about the reason for all this was suspicious. After all, she had a strong affinity for gossip."Umm... Should I continue questioning Emily?""No need.""Okay."After ending the call with Lucas, Joseph arrived at Chloe's family villa. The gate was tightly secured, and there was no trace of anyone inside. It became clear that she was not there. Joseph's eyelid twitched, and he slammed his hand against the steering wheel. 'Is she playing a game of hide-and-seek with me? Does she truly believe that I can’t find her?'He returned to his house and instructed the property management to investigate the community's surveillance cameras. The footage revealed Chloe carrying a suitcase and getting into a cab, but the car’s license plate was blurred and difficul

    Joseph's eyes narrowed slightly and he asked coldly, "Which room is she in?"The owner lowered his head to check the system. "Please wait a moment, let me check."Tyson took back his identification and glanced at the man beside him silently. "Room 3, second floor," the owner stated.Joseph fished out a cigarette, lit it, and proceeded up the stairs. Tyson followed closely behind and asked, "Did you and Chloe have a fight?"Joseph remained silent, showing no intention of answering."Have you two remarried? Have you obtained a marriage certificate? How’s her health been lately?"Joseph turned his head to look at him. "Do you have something to tell me?"Tyson touched his nose. "No. Nothing."He just wanted to see if Chloe had terminated the pregnancy. Judging by Joseph's reaction, it seemed likely that she had, but she probably did not inform him. Otherwise, how could he remain so composed? After all, a pregnancy would begin to show at four months.The guesthouse was not large,

    Chloe frowned and took a step back, trying to put some distance between them. However, Joseph grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.He gazed down at her. "Will you come willingly, or do you need my help?"Heaving a long sigh, Chloe's voice became light and helpless. "Please don't force me. Let's part on good terms, okay?"Joseph was infuriated by her suggestion. He pulled her out of the room without waiting for her refusal. He did not even give her time to take her daily necessities and luggage.Chloe struggled endlessly. On the one hand, she was reluctant to go back with Joseph. On the other hand, she was afraid of hurting her baby, so she did not dare to exert herself. Hence, her struggles were nothing but mere scratches to him, posing no danger.Joseph forcefully took her back to the villa."Stay here and reflect on what you’ve done. Give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow."He slammed the door shut and locked Chloe in the bedroom. Incredulity arose within her as she

    After Chloe calmed herself, she realized that the place she was in resembled the villa she lived in while overseas five years ago. However, upon closer inspection, the exterior scenery was different. She realized something and froze."Did you build a villa identical to the one I stayed in five years ago?" she asked.Noah was busy bandaging himself. Upon hearing her question, he replied, "Yeah, doesn't it look almost identical?"Chloe's gaze swept over every item in the room, and she admitted that she was touched. She turned back to Noah and looked at him gently as if she had returned to the time when she simply treated him as a little brother."How did you convince Tiffany to cooperate with you?"Tiffany had made her move while Noah distracted Desmond."I just told her about it, and she agreed."Chloe asked, "Do you think you’re treating her fairly?"Noah said flatly, "I’ll compensate her."Compensate? How? Chloe thought that youth was the most precious thing in the world, but

    In the Whitman family home, Joseph went to deal with a bunch of urgent company matters after putting Jasper to sleep. By the time he finished, it was already past three in the morning. He contemplated calling Chloe to ask about Noah's situation, but thinking it might disrupt her sleep, he abandoned the idea.When Joseph woke up the next day, it was already half past six. He recalled Chloe mentioning that Exotic Star had a new product launching today and that she would have to wake up early. He reached for his phone on the table, intending to call her.However, his hand slipped and the phone fell to the floor. The loud thud caused his heart to tremble. He stared at the shattered phone screen as he got a bad feeling. He grabbed his spare phone and quickly dialed Chloe's number. After ringing for some time, a cold, mechanical voice informed him that there was no one available to answer at the moment. Without hesitation, he immediately headed to the Sullivan Manor. When Joseph got ther

    “Yes, Grandpa, and I hope you won't stop me when the time comes," Noah said. "You're not discussing this with me. You're just informing me!" Desmond said exasperatedly. "I'm sorry, Grandpa.”Desmond hemmed and hawed for a long while, at a loss for words. He seemed to age ten years as he stared into the distance through the window. After a while, he said, "I've already had someone contact doctors abroad regarding your condition, so don't worry. All you have to do now is just focus on recovering. Don't give up so soon."Sensing Desmond's determination, Noah's eyes filled with tears. He too wished to spend a few more years with his grandfather.When they arrived at the Sullivan manor, the foreign doctors had replied. Upon learning that the renowned healer, Z, had treated Noah but only achieved limited success, they decided not to intervene.Noah was not discouraged by this. He comforted Desmond and said, "Grandpa, I would like to go abroad for a few days. It's been a long time sin

    Half an hour later, Desmond and Noah walked out of the ward together.Desmond said, "The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so why don't you just listen? If something happens to you again, they can treat you immediately."Noah smiled warmly and said, "It's okay. The medical equipment at home is sufficient."Desmond sighed. It would be good if Noah stayed at home as well. At least there would be more pairs of eyes on him.Desmond instructed the driver to come to the hospital’s basement car park. When he hung up the phone, he looked around the corridor and wondered, "Wasn't Chloe just sitting here? Where is she?"Noah did not say anything and just lowered his head."And where's Tiffany too? Call her. We need to go home," Desmond said as he took his phone out to call Chloe.However, Chloe did not answer his call. Noah did not call Tiffany. Instead, he said, "Her brother had something to discuss with her, so he came by and brought her home. Maybe Chloe ha

    Chloe looked at Tiffany and said sarcastically, "Not everyone is willing to contribute their entire life knowing that the other person doesn't like them."Tiffany had a heart problem. She might die at any moment, yet she chose to live around someone who did not love her back. Chloe often marveled at the greatness of love, but she would never possess such a sacrificial spirit.Tiffany laughed coldly. "It’s because I have compassion and you don't. When Xavia died before your eyes, you just coldly stared at her body."Chloe raised her head sharply, glared at Tiffany, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xavia took my child, stole my man, and wrecked my marriage! She nearly got me killed several times! If she hadn’t died, it might have been me! I should've celebrated her death with fireworks! None of you know what I've been through, so stop pointing fingers at me!"At first, she had felt responsible for Xavia's death, but she had since come to her senses. Xavia's death had nothing to

    Desmond was taken aback that he even forgot his cane and almost tripped on the carpet. He quickly got back up and headed for the second floor. The butler immediately called for an ambulance while the other housekeepers guided the panicked guests away.Chloe furrowed her brows, following Desmond into Noah's bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all light. But just standing at the door, one could detect the strong scent of rust from inside.A helper flipped a switch, and the room was flooded with light. The wooden furniture was neatly arranged while neatly folded clothes sat on the sofa.Chloe looked around but did not see Noah. She then looked toward the bathroom and her face sank.Tiffany pointed to the bathroom and said, "He's in there."Desmond trembled as he pushed open the bathroom door. Inside was a mess, with red stains covering the floor. Noah was in the bathtub, his wet clothes clinging to his body. His arms hung limply over the tub's edge, and his head sl

    Chloe did not know how to answer."Say something. You wanted her dead, right? Are you happy now that she is dead?!” Kenneth shouted angrily at her, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze piercing.He was so loud that it drew the attention of many nearby. Callum and Joseph rushed over, and Joseph shielded Chloe behind him. He pushed Kenneth back several steps and said sternly, "Never speak of that woman in front of Chloe again. Otherwise, there'll be consequences!""Hah! Are you protecting a murderer?" Kenneth laughed. "Oh yeah, you’re both responsible for Xavia's death after all."Smack!Callum slapped Kenneth across the face, instantly silencing him. "Get a grip, Ken! Xavia deserved to die. Stop embarrassing yourself in front of Chloe.”Kenneth held his face as he muttered, "Yeah, you're right… Xavia should’ve died. She was evil. She deceived and took advantage of me… She should die..."Then why was he so tormented over her death? He could not sleep or eat. He knew Xavia deserved th

    Joseph frowned. "Of course not. Her death has nothing to do with you. Promise me you won’t think such thoughts."The unexpected turn of events caught both Chloe and him off guard. Xavia clearly wanted to haunt Chloe forever by killing herself in front of her. Although he felt shocked, he was not deeply shaken. After all, he had not witnessed Xavia's jump, and Xavia probably thought that the third floor was not enough to kill her. After all, being in the hospital for treatment was better than being detained by the police.Chloe looked at Joseph with vacant eyes and smiled bitterly. "You're right. It’s good that she's finally dead. She got what she deserved, and I should be happy," she said."Exactly. Even if she didn't jump, the police would’ve arrested her," Joseph said gently, "It's my fault for asking you to buy us some time. If she comes back as a ghost to haunt you, I'll stop her."Joseph, Tyson, and a few officers had arrived just moments after Xavia jumped. He had brought a g

    Everyone erupted into gasps. As a deafening crash came from below, the staff scattered. Some ran downstairs to try and rescue Iris. Some who had rushed to the windows shouted anxiously, "She's still alive!"Everyone around Chloe was running as her mind was filled with an endless ringing. The whole world became a blur. She never imagined that things would end like this. The meeting hall was on the third floor. It was not too high, but it could be fatal if one were to land on their head. Everyone's accusatory gaze fell on Chloe, and the crowd started to murmur."Damn, how could she do this to Iris? Do you think she’ll be haunted by nightmares tonight?""Yeah, why does she insist that Iris is Xavia?""What if Iris dies? Won’t Ms. Chloe indirectly become a murderer?""Do you think Iris will come for revenge in the middle of the night when she dies?"Something inside Chloe snapped, and she shouted, "It wasn't me! What she did has nothing to do with me!"Her outburst silenced the ro
