Chapter 413


    Chapter 413 I’ll Give It to You Tomorrow


    Sensing the weight of his burden, Chloe approached and embraced his waist.


    “It’s been a while since I cooked for you. What do you feel like eating? Just tell me,” she said.


    “I said I’d cook today. Do you not believe me?” Joseph patted her hand, his handsome face returning to


    its usual calmness. “Just wait.”


    She raised her head and looked into his deep eyes, offering him a smile. “Okay.”


    It turned out that someone who could build and strengthen a business would also have great cooking


    skills. There was fruit sd, grilled fish, braised pig’s trotters, stir-fried asparagus, and corn soup.


    The dishes were not only visually appealing but full of vor. Chloe could not wait and immediately


    popped a piece of pig’s trotter in her mouth. It was tender, chewy, and melted in her mouth. It was so


    delicious that her toes curled up. It was only now that she knew why he did not like to eat takeout. With


    cooking skills that could rival a five-star hotel, anyone’s taste buds would be demanding.


    Joseph noticed the admiration in her gaze, and his lips curled up. “You’re such a foodie.”


    “What’s wrong with being a foodie?”


    As long as she could maintain her figure, the satisfaction of taste buds was easier to achieve


    than sess.


    After the meal, Chloe finished eating most of the food on the table and took the initiative to wash the


    dishes. As she finished washing thest dish and put it away, her phone in her pocket


    vibrated.


    It was a call from Icarus.


    Chloe looked at Joseph, who was watching TV in the living room. She did not want him to


    misunderstand anything, so she chose to reject the call. She nned to contact Icarus tomorrow after


    returning home, but her phone soon rang again. It was a text from Icarus.


    [Chloe, please answer my call. I have something important to tell you.]


    She lowered her gaze, hesitated for a moment, wiped her hands clean, and walked into the bathroom.


    At this moment, Icarus’ second call came through.


    “Did you move, Chloe?” he asked.


    “Yeah, how did you know?”


    “I’m outside your house right now. Can we meet tomorrow? I’m leaving for abroad the day


    after tomorrow, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back.”


    “You’re going abroad for business?”


    “Yes.”


    “Which country?”

    “Ameria.”


    “What time do you want to meet tomorrow?”


    “Around noon. Let’s go out for a meal.”


    Chloe agreed. Although Icarus had deceived her before, he had not harmed her and had helped her in


    many ways. From both an emotional and rational standpoint, she should go.


    After hanging up the phone, as soon as Chloe opened the door, she found Joseph standing outside, his


    handsome face clouded with indiscernible emotions.


    “Stomach ache? You’ve been inside for so long?”


    She instinctively hid her phone behind her back, her eyes flickering with anxiety. “No… Nope…


    He noticed her actions and furrowed his brows deeply. “Then what were you doing inside here?


    After careful consideration, she took a deep breath and met his gaze candidly. “Icarus called me, and I


    was worried that you’d misunderstand, so I answered in the bathroom.”


    Surprisingly, Joseph did not disy the same level of distrust as before. He simply asked, ”


    And?”


    “He said he’s leaving the country the day after tomorrow and wanted to meet me for thest


    time tomorrow.”


    “You agreed?”


    “Yeah…” Chloe nervously exined, “I agreed to meet him because we’re friends, and he has helped


    me a lot. If you don’t want me to go, I won’t.”


    She sensed that Joseph was treating her better than before, and it would not be appropriate for her to


    quarrel with him again because of Icarus. Besides, he was not in a good mood today.


    “You can go.”


    “Huh?”


    “I’ll give you an hour,” Joseph replied, a trace of displeasure lingering in his heart, but he managed to


    suppress it. “Is that enough?”


    “Yes! It’s more than enough!” she nodded vigorously. She asked curiously, “You don’t suspect


    me anymore?”


    Every time she had been with Icarus before, he would explode in anger.


    “You informed me and asked for my opinion. What else is there to suspect?” Joseph sneered, his lips


    curling.


    Of course, it was not because of that. He simply could not stand Icarus. Now that Icarus was going to


    leave, there was no need to argue with an unworthy person like him.


    Chloe saw that he did not say anything more and did not pursue the matter. She could not help. but


    sigh at how much his personality had improved.


    After washing up, she went to the guest room. Everything inside remained the same. The only strange


    thing was that the bed sheets carried a faint unknown scent. It was refreshing and pleasant, exactly the


    same as the scent on Joseph’s body.


    She stared at the bedding in a daze. ‘Did hee to sleep in the guest room every day?’


    Suddenly, the door opened. Joseph appeared fresh from the shower, his body glistening with droplets


    of water. He had a bath towel draped around his well-defined waist, entuating his strength and


    allure. As the droplets cascaded down his damp hair, tracing a path along his chiseled corbone and


    settling on his captivating abs, it was an enchanting sight that evoked a flush and a racing heart.


    He was truly a sight to behold.


    Chloe’s cheeks turned rosy. “What are you doing here?”


    Looking at her as if looking at an idiot, he said, “What else can we do at this hour besides. sleep?”


    ‘What else can we do? No, no! The first three months are the most crucial! We mustn’t be reckless!’


    “No! I don’t want to do that. Stay away from me. We’re in a cooling-off period, and you can’t force me!”


    she eximed, her eyes filled with resistance.


    Joseph was slightly stunned, and he chuckled disdainfully. “Then why are you reacting so strongly? Are


    you trying to cover up something?”


    He could not deny that he was addicted to her body. He had not touched her after such a long time, so


    it was impossible for him to show no physiological response. However, he was tired today.


    “I did not!” she retorted. “You’re the one who dressed like this and tried to seduce me!”


    “You’re overthinking it,” Joseph said while sitting down beside her, his voice cold but filled with


    indulgence. “If you really want it, endure it for tonight. I’ll give it to you tomorrow, okay?
