Chapter 574 Ahh, the Charm of an Ex, How Precious
Joseph felt troubled. “She had something to tell me about you, so I agreed to give her a ride.”
“About me?”
“About your pregnancy.”
Chloe’s expression darkened as she turned to look at Xavia. “How did you find out about my pregnancy?”
“I saw your belly showing signs of protrusion when we were underwater at the pool yesterday.” Xavia shrugged.
“Is that so?” Chloe sneered. “Normally, if someone can’t swim, they wouldn’t be able to open. their eyes
underwater.”
Xavia shrugged and stated, “I don’t know how to swim, and Joe knows that. What good is. there for me to deceive
you?”
“Xavia really can’t swim.” Joseph nodded, addressing the matter at hand.
In the past, Xavia had never participated in any water-related activities. There was even an incident where she fell
off a boat and almost drowned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChloe snorted sarcastically. “Yeah, right, You just seem to know everything, don’t you?”
‘He offered no defense and instead chose to side with Xavia. Ahh, the charm of an ex. How precious,’ she thought.
Joseph felt helpless, acutely sensing Chloe’s volatile temper that was akin to a cat on the verge of exploding. She
was easily provoked.
Ignored by Chloe, he could only watch as she turned her back and walked away. He caught up with her and offered
a word of caution, “Slow down. Be careful with that child in your belly.”
“It’s fine. With a father like you, the child will be strong and tough from an early age.”
“Huh?”
“Four months ago, you neglected your responsibilities as a father. And now four months later, I don’t need you.”
Chloe’s voice trembled, her eyes turning red and her hands clenched tightly
by her side.
As Joseph looked at her, a strong urge to reach out and hug her welling up inside him. But he hesitated, unsure if it
was the right thing to do. The dumbo had seemed more susceptible to tears lately, a side of her he had rarely seen.
He questioned himself, ‘Did I really make a mistake? If I transferred all my assets to our child, would it be enough to
make amends?”
With a heavy sigh, Joseph made up his mind. “I’ll find a solution regarding Xavia’s child.” The constant conflict
between them was not a sustainable path. Compared to Xavia, he naturally cared more about his wife. He could
not bear to see her suffer every day because of this matter.
Chloe looked at him, her delicate face filled with puzzlement and doubt. Sensing her confusion, he did not provide
any further explanation and simply said, “Let’s get you home.”
In the parking lot, Lucas was already waiting in the car. After the two got into the car, Joseph made a phone call to
Tyson, arranging to meet him in the afternoon.
After finishing her examination and arriving back home, Xavia entered the residential area only to find a white
Maybach blocking the road ahead. Cautiously, she took a step back, her eyes fixed on the young man who emerged
from the car.
“Why are you here?” she questioned, her tone wary.
“No particular reason,” Noah replied nonchalantly. As he inched closer toward her, a dangerous glimmer flickered
through his brown eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t come any closer! I’ll scream!” Xavia resisted fiercely. She could not decipher Noah’s intentions, and he was
too cunning for her to trust. He was like a smiling tiger-deceptive and dangerous. His gentle facade masked his true
nature as a backstabber. Such people terrified her.
“I explicitly told you that you could manipulate Joseph and Chloe’s relationship but not harm her.”
“I didn’t harm her,” Xavia stubbornly denied.
“I saw you pulling her underwater.”
Xavia’s anger surged up. Perhaps watching Joseph treat Chloe so differently at the hospital had triggered something
in her. She shouted defiantly, “Yes, I wanted her to die! So what?!”
‘Chloe took everything that rightfully belongs to me. Shouldn’t she pay the price? Even if she doesn’t die, her child
in her belly should become intellectually challenged, just like mine!’ she thought.
Noah’s expression remained calm, devoid of any signs of anger. He tilted his head and fixed his eyes on her. A smile
slowly spread across his face, revealing two charming dimples. “Come here.”
Xavia vehemently shook her head and swiftly turned around, determined to head toward a crowded area where
she would be safer. However, Noah effortlessly caught up with her. He firmly gripped her hair and dragged her into
a nearby alley.
