Chapter 232


    Chapter 232 Are You Going to Lock Me Up Again?


    Joseph’s brow furrowed, his voiceced with frustration as he asked, “I’ve already decided to forgive


    you, so what trouble are you stirring up again?”


    Upon-hearing the word “again,” Chloe chuckled She turned around, her eyes shining brightly as they


    locked onto Joseph. “What do you mean, again? What did I do? Did I cheat on you ormit some


    unforgivable sin?”


    The using tone in her voice did not sit well with Joseph, and his expression grew icy. “You lied and


    still think you did nothing wrong?”


    “Have you ever thought about why I lied?”


    Joseph was stunned. Before he could say anything, Chloe pressed on. “That’s because I knew that


    even if I had told you that I ran into Icarus, you’d still be suspicious and angry. Speaking the truth or not


    would lead to the same oue, so why bother?”


    “Even though nothing happened between you and Icarus this time, you shouldn’t talk to him since you


    know he has a thing for you!”


    “So, now I can’t even talk to someone of the opposite sex?!” Chloeughed scornfully and emphasized


    every word that came out of her mouth. “Joseph, I’m a human being. I need social interaction. Even if


    you disapprove of someone in my circle, the right approach is to sit down and have a calm


    conversation with me. Not lock me away like a criminal”


    After finishing her words, Chloe did not give him a chance and turned around to leave. Fortunately, she


    managed to return to her bedroom in one piece. She flopped onto the bed, letting out a sigh of relief.


    She was terrified, absolutely terrified Thankfully, Joseph did not lose his


    temper.


    She had finally stood up for herself. Next time, she would strive to do even better!


    This time, she was confined for one night, but next time it could be a whole month. She could not


    let Joseph think that she was a pushover.


    Meanwhile, she realized that she had recovered a lot from her cold. She had not even taken any cold


    medicine, so she wondered how. Could it be that her immunity had grown stronger?


    Chloe stayed in her bedroom for a while, and then Joseph knocked on the door.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “What do you want? Are you going to lock me up again?” Her voice was cold, but her ears perked


    1.


    There was a moment of silence outside the door. “My grandpa wants us to go to the family home for


    dinner. There’s a party tonight.”


    Chloe pressed her lips together and said, “But I need to go to the office to make some revisions to


    some documents. It’ll take about half an hour.”


    “Is your cold any better?”


    “I felt much better once I returned to my bedroom.”


    “Get ready to go to the family house.”


    1/2


    “What about my work?”


    “We’ll stop by the office on the way and you can pick up yourptop.”


    Chloe finished her morning routine and rummaged through the wardrobe, selecting an outfit from the


    clothes Joseph had bought for her before. She opted for a knee-length skirt that struck the perfect


    bnce between sophistication and modesty.


    After that, she applied rosy pink lipstick to add a touch of vibrancy to herplexion.


    When she came downstairs, she found Joseph already waiting for her in the car. As she passed by the


    living room, her gaze briefly flickered over the breakfast on the dining table.


    ‘Joseph’s not in the habit of buying breakfast from outside…’


    Chloe did not question it because she already had an answer in her heart.


    During the journey, she did not initiate any conversation with Joseph. The car quickly arrived at the


    underground parking lot of Fairlight. The on-duty security guard stepped outside to catch some fresh


    air. He recognized Joseph’s car and took a few steps forward to greet him, but his eyes caught sight of


    Chloe sitting in the passenger seat


    The security guard paused, realizing that Chloe was an employee of Fairlight..


    He smiled and said, “Miss, are you hitching a ride?”


    He found this quite unusual. After all this time, it was the first time he had seen an employee daring to


    hitch a ride with Joseph’s car. It seemed to him that this youngdy had quite the nerve..


    “Umm…” Chloe’s face showed a hint of difort as she replied, discreetly poking Joseph, urging him


    to hurry up and leave.


    Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly, his intense gaze sweeping over her guilt-ridden face. The corners of


    his mouth curled into a wicked smile and said, “She’s not hitching a ride.”


    The security was stunned. “Huh?”


    “She’s my wife. Can you call that hitching a ride?”


    Chloe was stunned.
