    Chapter 247 I Have Some Unresolved Trauma in This Area


    Joseph took a deep breath and gently picked up Chloe in his arms, heading toward the bedroom.


    Chloe’s initial surprise turned into a realization of his intentions, causing her body to tense up. She


    quickly voiced her protest, “No, Jojo! We’re both too exhausted today.”


    Joseph’s footsteps halted, and a yful smile adorned his face. “Don’t worry,” he assured her.


    Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes widened, her mind momentarily nk as her cheeks flushed with


    embarrassment. While she was unstoppable with her witty banter, she became timid like a turtle when


    it came to actual practice. Especially in this aspect, where men would naturally take the lead.


    Soon, her body felt weak, her resistance crumbling under Joseph’s advances. Part of her wanted to


    give in, but in her state of confusion, the vivid image of Jake and Ava caught in bed shed through her


    mind. It jolted her back to reality, dispelling the haze of the moment.


    “No… Jojo, I can’t do it right now,” Chloe said, pushing Joseph away, furrowing her brows as she


    refused.


    Sensing her sudden shift in emotions, Joseph wrapped his arms around her and spoke in a voice that


    was unusually gentle, “What’s wrong?”


    After a few seconds of contemtion, Chloe made the decision to be honest. “I have some


    unresolved trauma in this area.”


    Joseph’s eyelid twitched, and his wless face turned serious. Unresolved trauma? Did that mean she


    had previous experiences with other men?


    Chloe noticed the shift in his expression and shivered involuntarily. She protested in a low voice, “You


    have exes too. Why are you looking at me like that?”


    “I’ve never been intimate with Xavia.”


    Chloe found it hard to believe. “Really?”


    “Yes.”

    “That’s great. You’re still pure.”


    “But you’re not.”


    “I am!”


    Chloe sighed heavily as she recounted the incident of discovering her ex-boyfriend’s Infidelity. Joseph’s


    face grew even darker upon hearing it. He gritted his teeth and asked, You’ve seen other men in the


    act?”


    “Umm, it’s not like I intentionally looked. It was just a coincidence,” Chloe replied defensively. Joseph


    looked at her with disdain and remarked, “You certainly had poor taste in the past.”


    “Well, people make mistakes sometimes. Now that I’m with you every day, my eyes have been


    cleansed. Give me some time to process it, and then we can… um, you know, take that step! Okay?”


    Chloe’s fair and tender face turned crimson with shyness.


    It has to be said that sweet talk still has its effect.


    Upon hearing her cautiously coaxing him, Joseph felt his anger subside. However, he also felt a hint of


    frustration. It was both exasperating and endearing how easily dumbo could disarm him with just a few


    words. The key was that he secretly enjoyed it.


    Chloe tugged at Joseph’s sleeve and suddenly thought of something. “By the way, why didn’t you and


    Xavia take your rtionship to the next level even though you were together for so long?”


    He paused for a moment and calmly replied, “Our rtionship never reached that level.”


    “Are we there now?”


    Joseph looked deeply into her eyes and said, “You deliberately seduced me.”


    Chloe was puzzled and expressed her confusion, “I did nothing of the sort. Maybe it’s because I’m


    good-looking and have a nice figure. It was unintentional actions that made you have improper


    thoughts. I didn’t n anything.”


    Such was the paradoxical nature of attraction. When one deliberately flirted, they failed, but when not


    doing anything, theynded the fish. What kind of world was this?


    Joseph remained silent.
