    “First, we need to make things clear. I haven’t agreed to reconcile. Even if it’s proven that the incident


    that night was an ident, we both need time to cool off and carefully assess the situation.”


    Apart from Xavia, there were many other personal factors between them.


    Joseph’s lips curled into a smile as he nodded in agreement. ‘Dumbo must be secretly delighted. while


    pretending to stayposed. Well, if she wants to put on a show, I’ll join her in this y.” When Xavia


    received his call, she felt a surge of excitement and joy. She meticulously applied her makeup and


    slipped into a stunning white dress, eagerly making her way to the Fairlight to meet him.


    Meanwhile, in the office, Nathan, Jonathan, and the others had departed. Expecting Jonathan to not


    repurchase the house, Joseph instructed Lucas to contact the buyer.


    Chloe anticipated Xavia’s imminent arrival. A sly glint sparkled in her almond-shaped eyes. “I’ll slip


    away to the restroomter. Don’t let Xavia know I’m here.”


    With Chloe’s presence, Xavia would surely feel restricted and guarded. Joseph saw through the


    scheming nature of Chloe’s thoughts and raised an eyebrow. “Afraid that she might hold back?”


    Chloe shrugged, neither confirming nor denying his assumption.


    After approximately three minutes, the sound of the elevator’s “ding” resonated from outside. Chloe


    swiftly slipped into the restroom, leaving the door slightly ajar to discreetly observe the unfolding scene.


    Joseph let out a sigh, feeling as though he were a sneaky thief.


    “Joe, you asked to see me?” Xavia’s voice trembled with a hint of shyness as she entered. Her face


    was delicately enhanced with light makeup, and she donned a stylish coffee-colored windbreaker Her


    eyes sparkled with anticipation as they locked onto Joseph.


    It had been days since hest reached out to her, and the unexpected evening invitation left her mind


    wondering. ‘Does he….miss me?’ Xavia silently pondered, her heart fluttering with hope.


    She had always held the belief that men could be categorized into two types: those who let their primal


    instincts guide them, and those who lead their lives with reason and control. Joseph, without a doubt,


    fell into thetter category.


    However, no matter how rational a man may be, he could notpletely resist the innate desires of the


    body. Just like that fateful night, if Chloe had not acted first, it would have been her in Chloe’s ce.


    Now, with her pregnancy and the years of emotional connection between them, she -firmly believed


    that she would eventually win Joseph over.


    ‘Is today the day?


    Joseph nced at Xavía casually, devoid of any emotions. “Take a seat.”


    She nodded gently, gazing at him affectionately, awaiting his next words.


    “That night at Graceville Estate, what time did youe to find me?”.


    Xavia’s expression shifted as she was caught off guard by the sudden question. “I believe it was


    around nine. I don’t recall the exact time. Why do you ask?”


    “That night, I had a terrible headache and wasn’t feeling well, so I went to bed early.”


    “Yes. When I entered, you were indeed asleep…” Uncertain of his motives, she chose her words


    carefully, fearing that he had discovered something. “But you appeared sick as if you had a fever. Joe,


    could someone have drugged you…” She stared intently at him as she uttered those words, afraid of


    missing any subtle expression.


    He chuckled and countered, “What do you think?”


    “I don’t know… Under normal circumstances, you’re not that kind of person…” She waspletely


    uncertain, a trace of unease flickering in her eyes. “Did you discover something?”


    “No.”


    That day, Lucas was in charge of the tea, and with the surveince equipment outside the room.


    damaged, it was difficult to identify the suspect.


    A sense of relief washed over Xavia, and she felt her body rx.


    S was known for his reliability in handling delicate matters, and all the staff present at Graceville Estate


    that day were under his control. This n had been meticulouslyid out for over a year, making it


    difficult to trace back.


    “Joe, let’s leave the past behind us,” Xavia dered, rising from her seat and approaching him with a


    tender, loving gaze. “Now that we’re expecting a baby, it’s a sign of fate.” Joseph’s lips curled into a


    mocking smile. “Have you ever heard of manufactured fate?”
