    Chapter 473 Way to Go, Brother


    Joseph firmly grasped her shoulders as he raised his eyebrows. “What nonsense are your talking


    about? Why would I doubt you when it was just a baseless im?”


    Chloe was stunned, thrown off by his reaction.


    Joseph continued, “I’ve already instructed for those articles to be taken down.”


    “Oh, that’s what you’re talking about…”


    “Of course,” he replied, his face growing stern. “Wait… Is there something else. you haven’t told me?”


    Chloe shook her head. “No, no!”


    Joseph narrowed his eyes. He sensed that she was hiding something, yet she kept her lips sealed. It


    seemed like he had pampered her too muchtely, and she had started lying again. He was infuriated,


    but he refrained from pressing further for the time being. He knew there would be time to address this


    later, perhaps after dinner.


    They had agreed that while spending time together, they would visit the family home and have meals


    with Harold. As they passed by a mall, Chloe remembered Harold mentioning at newly released


    traditional pastry from a certain store, and he seemed to like it a lot.


    Parking the car by the roadside, they entered the mall to make the purchase. The pastry was quite


    popr, and there was a queue. Joseph looked toward the nearby supermarket and said, Stay in the


    line. I’m going to grab something.”


    “Okay,” Chloe replied.


    After she had procured the pastries, he still had not returned. Curious, she went to the supermarket in


    search of him. There, she saw him choose something from the shelves and then approached the


    counter to pay for a box of L-sized condoms. The cashier looked


    up, wearing a look that seemed to say “Way to go, brother.”


    Chloe felt a mix of embarrassment, wanting to find a hole to hide in. ‘How could he purchase such a


    thing without any hint of embarrassment?! And we don’t even need it right now!’


    After the cashierpleted the transaction, he handed the condoms to Joseph and teasingly


    remarked, “Your wife is one lucky gal.”


    Chloe expected Joseph to ignore the cashier’sment, but much to her surprise, he responded, “She


    is.”


    She could not stand it anymore and dragged him toward the exit. “Why did you buy this?”


    “To use it.”


    “You said you wouldn’t touch me!”


    Looking down at her, Joseph’s jaw tensed as he retorted, “We’ve taken our wedding photos, and we’re


    about to remarry. Why can’t I touch you?”


    “But you made a promise!” Chloe replied, her frustration evident.


    “I’ve changed my mind.”


    “No! You can’t just change your mind like that!”


    “Then tell me what you’re hiding from me,” Joseph said, his eyes narrowing with a hint of


    threat. “Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to use every single condom in this box tonight.”


    Feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment, Chloe shot back, “You’ll regret it.”


    “Oh? I’ll regret it?”


    It looked like the matter was serious.


    Joseph firmly gripped her waist and gave it a slight squeeze. “Chloe, my patience has its limits.


    She winced from the pinch, feeling both pained and ticklish. Unable to bear it, she swatted his hands


    away, “Let’s go to the house and have dinner. We shouldn’t keep Grandpa waiting.”


    “Fine, but after dinner, you better tell me the truth, or you’ll regret it,” he warned.


    Her cheeks blushed, and she feigned nonchnce as she said, “Are you just teasing me?”


    Joseph smirked yfully. “Teasing? You could say that. But if you don’t tell me the truthter, you might


    find it difficult to get out of bed the next day.”


    Chloe’s face turned red. ‘I might have trouble getting out of bed for a few days, but your kid might need


    to say goodbye to this world before they’re even born.’


    The day before, they were physically and mentally exhausted when they got to the family home, so


    they spent most of their time sleeping except for mealtime. As a result, Harold did not get a chance to


    chat with Chloe. Upon seeing her today, he greeted her with a big smile.” Oh my, who do we have


    here? Whose granddaughter-inw is this? You’re so stunning!”


    Chloe’s mood instantly eased, and she sat down beside him, yfully mirroring his tone. ” Yours, of


    course.”


    Harold’s smile did not fade as he sighed in relief. “I’m happy that you two have finally reconciled. Just


    let bygones be bygones.”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
