Chapter 546 Only MS. Chloe Holds That Privilege
When Lucas saw Xavia, he smacked his lips. His expression revealed a mixture of a hint of
speechlessness and insight.
‘Right after Ms. Chloe leaves, this onees sauntering in. The purpose behind her actions is clear to
anyone with discerning eyes,’ he thought.
“I want to see Joe,” Xavia stated inly, emanating an air of entitlement.
“Mr. Joseph is currently busy.” The underlying message carried a reluctance to meet her.
Xavia arched an eyebrow and sneered coldly. “Aren’t you at least going to tell him I’m here?”
“Mr. Joseph requested not to be disturbed while he’s working,” Lucas replied calmly.
“Not even by me?”
“Only Ms. Chloe holds that privilege.”
Lucas intended to provoke Xavia and make her leave, but he underestimated her. Instead of getting
angry, Xavia smirked and fell silent. She attempted to bypass him and enter straight
into the office.
Instinctively, he reached out to stop her. But as soon as his arm touched her, she fell to the ground and
winced in pain. “Was that necessary? Why did you push me when I’ve only said a few words?”
Lucas was left speechless, swearing that he had not used any force at that moment.
Xavia’s voice carried into the office, catching Joseph’s attention. He opened the office door, furrowing
his eyebrows as he nced at them, silently questioning the situation.
“Mr. Joseph, Ms. Xavia came looking for you. I told her you were busy but she insisted on going in. I
only reached out to stop her and…” Lucas exined.
Xavia, still weak from the fall, supported her waist and nodded apologetically. “Yes, Lucas didn’t do it on
purpose. I lost my bnce.”
While Xavia took the me upon herself, there was also a subtle hint of her trying to shift the me
onto Lucas.
Xavia’s action once again left Lucas speechless. ‘Look at this woman. She’s truly a master of deception
with her innocent facade. I must admit, she has outdone herself this time. I can’t outperform you. Are
you satisfied now?”
Joseph’s narrowed, sharp eyes nced at Xavia, devoid of any me toward Lucas. “Do you have
something to tell me?”
“Well, actually, I don’t have anything urgent. I was contemting whether I should schedule
an earlier hospital stay this month considering the uing amniocentesis. The examinations can be
time-consuming.”
“Whatever you want.”
“I’ll follow your decision. I’llply with whatever you arrange for me.”
“Go ahead and stay in the hospital then.”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
“Okay, I’ll pack my things tomorrow,” Xavia responded, her eyes filled with anticipation ast she took out
a small parenting book from her bag. “I heard from other mothers that babies can hear their parents
talking when they’re four months in the womb.
“I’ve been telling bedtime stories to the baby every night. And today, the baby kicked me a few times. I
think the baby is tired of my stories and wants to hear the father tell them instead.”
Joseph gazed at her protruding belly with an expressionless face. “I don’t have time. Maybe.
next time.”
“It’s a very short story. It’ll only take about ten minutes,” Xavia insisted, flipping open the parenting book
and pointing to one of the stories. “I want you to feel involved, Joe.”
“Perhaps I can do it? I have some time right now,” Lucas chimed in, attempting to be clever while
maintaining a serious expression. “After all, the baby is still young and doesn’t know who the father is.
The same effect can be achieved if I read the story.”
Xavia clenched her teeth and her frustration was evident. “There’s a telepathic connection. between a
father and their child.”
“But Ms. Xavia, you haven’t undergone the amniocentesis yet, so how can you be certain that the child
belongs to Mr. Joseph-
“I "
“Are you saying that I’m deceiving Joe?” Xavia interrupted, her voiceced with tension.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. I was merely expressing a thought,” Lucas quickly rified, ncing at
Joseph. “Sir, I was just giving my unfiltered opinion. The final decision rests with you.”
