    Chapter 506 Men Can Utilize Their Sexual Charms Too


    “Are you badmouthing me?”


    The bedroom door abruptly swung open, revealing a tall and handsome man exuding an air of dignity


    and aloofness. However, the sight of him holding adle in his hand seemed oddly endearing, creating


    a delightful contrast.


    Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at him, momentarily taken aback. “When did you


    get here?”


    “An hour ago.”


    “Are you a ghost? How did you enter my apartment without making a sound?!”


    Joseph adopted an innocent expression. “I saw you sleeping so peacefully, and I didn’t want to disturb


    you. I never realized you’re such a deep sleeper.”


    A flicker of emotion passed through Chloe’s eyes. “I’m exhausted today.”


    Joseph felt his heart melt. Lately, he had been consumed by numerous responsibilities, leaving him


    with little time to be with her. And today, he had even upset her.


    “I’ve prepared some dishes. Come out and eat.”


    Chloe did not refuse as she was famished. She took a seat at the table while Joseph brought out the


    meticulously prepared dishes one by one-five visually stunning tes emitting irresistible aromas. The


    scent alone hinted at their deliciousness.


    Chloe’s mouth watered as she picked up her cutlery and indulged in a bite of the steak. The meat was


    tender, sulent, and infused with a delightful aroma, devoid of any excess grease. She found herself


    unable to resist, taking bite after bite, unable to satiate her appetite.


    They say the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach, but that saying only held weight if the


    man in questioncked culinary skills.


    Joseph leaned in, resting his chin on his hand, and said with gentle affection, “Slow down. No one’s


    going to snatch it away from you.” As he uttered those words, he also served her aforting bowl of


    chowder, mindful of her well-being and worried she might choke.


    Chloe was a little embarrassed. In the past, she had been the one caring for him, and now the roles


    were reversed, which felt strange. However, the moment this thought emerged, she vigorously shook


    her head. ‘No, there’s nothing peculiar about it. Even if it feels that way, I must adapt! I refuse to be


    treated as amodity.”


    Chloepleted her bedtime routine and settled into bed. Joseph did the same, lying down beside her.


    She gently protested as her expression stiffened, “Get off the bed. I never agreed to you staying over.”


    “After working tirelessly for you all night, aren’t you going to offer any form ofpensation?” Joseph’s


    broad hand firmly wrapped around her slender waist, pausing momentarily. “Hmm, you seem to have


    gained a bit of weight.”


    There appeared to be a slight increase in the size of Chloe’s tummy.


    In the dim light, a hint of panic flickered across her face as she gently pushed away the hand on her


    waist. “You’re the one who gained weight.”


    “I exercise every day and never put on weight. If you don’t believe me, feel for yourself.” Joseph


    grasped her hand and guided it to his abdominal muscles. They were firm and well-


    defined.

    A blush crept onto Chloe’s cheeks as she felt the warmth radiating from Joseph’s skin. His flirting skills


    were undoubtedly improving.


    Joseph noticed her unusual reaction and a sense of delight washed over him. He held her hand, urging


    her to explore his body with her touch.


    Beforeing to her apartment, he had dialed Nathan’s number and sought advice on seduction tips.


    Nathan stated that women could utilize their sexual charms and that men could do the same. Initially,


    Joseph dismissed the idea, but upon reflection, he realized it was his wife, not someone else, so he rid


    himself of all reservations.


    “Enough.” Chloe couldn’t bear it any longer and abruptly turned around, presenting him with her back.


    “If you want to sleep, then sleep. Otherwise, get out.”


    A mischievous smirk tugged at the corner of Joseph’s lips. “Aren’t you angry anymore?”


    “I am,” she replied bluntly.


    “Then how can we move past this?”


    He could not quiteprehend the intricacies of a woman’s thought process. After all, he had never


    done anything with Hazel, so why was Chloe so upset?


    “I expect you to support me unconditionally and stand by my side if we ever face a simr situation in


    the future. Even if I call the other person a piece of shit, I want you to agree and back me up,” Chloe


    asserted.


    Joseph’s brows furrowed. “There’s no need for that.”
