Chapter 650 Life Is Meaningless


    "Mind your own business," Joseph said and dragged Chloe away.


    Emily stomped her foot in frustration. ''Jeez, he''s so unreasonable!''


    In the car, silence hung between Joseph and Chloe as they exchanged nces. Chloe turned to


    stare out of the window. Joseph felt a sense of sadness at being ignored. Sitting at the front, Lucas


    tried his best to minimize his presence, hoping not to incur either of their wrath.


    After a while, Joseph said afterposing himself, "We''ll get the maternity DNA test results for


    Amelia and Karen the day after tomorrow."


    Chloe turned back to him. Her voice shook with emotion as she asked, "You believe me?"


    "When did I ever say I didn''t?"


    "You never once believed me and always doubted me," she retorted.


    Her words stung him. His face sank, and he decided to stay silent.


    The sky darkened, and they slowly left Aesper, heading toward the direction of Docwood. As she


    watched the passing scenery, Chloe asked, "Aren''t we going home?"

    Joseph replied calmly, "No, we''re going somewhere else."


    "Where?"


    "Our marital home," Joseph continued, his gaze softening slightly. "It''s located at the boundary line


    of Docwood and Cloude. The renovations are done and the ce has been furnished. We''ll be


    living there from now on."


    ''The boundary line of Docwood and Cloude…''


    This meant that Emily would not be able to visit Chloe, and thetter did not know anyone in that


    area. It would be a lonely ce with only herself forpany. Chloe''s shoulders slumped in defeat


    like a withering flower losing its vitality.


    Sensing something amiss, Joseph grabbed her shoulders and asked, "What''s wrong? Are you


    feeling unwell?"


    "Are you trying to push me into my grave?"


    He was taken aback and stared at her incredulously. "I''m trying to push you into your grave by


    taking you to a safer ce? Is that how you see me?"


    Lucas could not help interjecting, "Ms. Chloe, you''ve misunderstood Mr. Joseph. You can''t stay in


    your original home since it''s no longer safe. Besides, we''re going to your marital home. You’ll be


    living there in the future."


    Chloe let out a soft, bitterugh. Although it was barely audible, one could sense the deep despair


    in it. "That ce isn’t a marital home. It''s a prison with no freedom."


    "Ms. Chloe, please don''t think like that. This is only temporary. You don''t know all the difficulties Mr.


    Joseph has gone through for you—"


    "Please, I beg you. Please let me go," Chloe pleaded, interrupting Lucas, "I can''t bear another day


    with you. If this continues, I''ll lose my mind."


    Every day, she feared being forced to have an abortion and taking herbal medicine. She had no


    ess to fresh air and was frequently bothered by Xavia. Her lifecked peace. Now, in this new


    ce, she was unsure if her n would work out.


    If her n failed, she might be stuck here forever.


    Joseph stared into her eyes. "Being with me makes you miserable?"


    "Yes, it''s agonizing. I''m so tired. I feel that life is meaningless," Chloe cried, pouring out her heartfelt


    words.


    "And who gives your life meaning? Icarus?" He continued to stare at her, his gaze prating.
