    Chapter 45 What’s Wrong With Me Wearing Something Sexy?


    Nathan felt something was off with Joseph.


    Upon catching sight of Chloe downstairs, Nathan narrowed his eyes. He instantly grasped the reason


    for Joseph’s eagerness to leave despite only having been here for a while. A smile danced on Nathan’s


    lips as he lightly stroked his chin.


    ‘It’s no wonder that he’s so eager to leave. It seems like someone’s in the season of love.


    The mart was not far from home, and Chloe nned on carrying the bags home herself when Joseph


    appeared in front of her. Her sweet face held a look of surprise as she asked, “What are you doing


    here?”


    “Just hanging out with a friend,” Joseph said, smoothly taking the bags from her hand.


    “I see.” Chloe followed him toward the parking lot. “The cooking ss gave out ingredients to make a


    cake today. I’ll make it for you when we get back.”


    “Okay.”


    As they walked together beneath the westbound sun, their figures ovepped and cast intertwined


    shadows on the ground. They appeared like a couple deeply in love.


    Two hourster, Chloe ced the cake and the meatballs meant for Toto in front of Joseph.


    With its mouth agape, Toto swiftly devoured the meatballs one after another, polishing them off in just a


    few bites. It then rubbed its fluffy head against Chloe’s arm as a gesture of gratitude.


    “Do you like them?” she asked.


    “Woof, woof!” Toto wagged its tail joyfully as if it could understand her words and was trying its best to


    show its support.


    Chloe smiled and said, “Okay, okay. I’ll go to the kitchen and get you some more.”


    “Don’t overfeed him.” Joseph looked up.


    Toto had gained eleven pounds ever sinceing to this house and now looked more like a fluffy


    sheep than a Border Collie from a distance.


    After hearing this, Toto’s tall stopped wagging as ity down on the ground pitifully. The dog’s dark eyes


    fixated on Chloe, filled with yearning, hoping she would get more. meatballs.


    Chloe shrugged helplessly. There was nothing she could do either.


    “I’m going to my room for a bit,” Chloe said, her face tinted with a rosy hue.


    Joseph noticed the change in her expression.


    Half an hour passed, but Chloe had yet toe back down. Joseph grew suspicious and instinctively


    knew that she was hiding something from him. He climbed up the stairs. and stopped in front of her


    room.

    The door was slightly ajar, and warm-toned light from inside spilled out onto the floor. He could faintly


    hear her talking to someone. It was a man, but he could not make out what they were saying. He only


    knew that they were on a video call.


    Inside the room, Chloe was patiently guiding Icarus, who had failed his assignment


    three times.


    “Brush the pan with some oil and follow the steps that the instructor gave us. It’s better to start with a


    small amount and test it first, rather than pouring all the ingredients in and wasting them if it doesn’t


    turn out well,” Chloe advised him.


    “Okay, I’ll give it a try,” Icarus said lightly, “Since you spent so much time helping me, how about I treat


    you to a movie in a couple of days aspensation?”


    ‘A man and a woman going to watch a movie together?”


    Chloe was not sure if she was imagining things, but even if she was, she could not possibly ept his


    invitation. She politely declined, and Icarus showed understanding. He did not feel the slightest bit


    dejected at her rejection.


    After the call ended, Chloe quietly slipped off her robe to reveal a fine and seductive negligee that


    entuated her curves. Her skin, visible beneath the delicate fabric, was as smooth as silk, exuding a


    mesmerizing appeal that was both captivating and breathtaking.


    She felt a little embarrassed. Despite her flirtatious banter with Joseph, she was quite conservative at


    heart. She had maintained herst line of defense during the entire time she was with Jake, and now…


    ‘Screw it. What’s the point of overthinking things? Joseph and I are legally married, so what’s wrong


    with ine wearing something sexy?’

    Taking a deep breath, Chloe steeled herself and headed downstairs to find Joseph. But as she reached


    for the door handle, she was startled..


    Joseph was standing right outside the door, his icy gaze fixed on her with a mix of contempt and anger.


    “Chloe, I won’t interfere in your affairs after the contract expires, but I won’t allow you to flirt around or


    bring shame to me while living under my roof!”
