Chapter 664 Woke up From a Deep Dream


    Xavia had a sessful delivery, and after a few days of rest, she appeared to be in good spirits.


    Dressed in a ck gown and a small hat, she exuded elegance and beauty.


    As Emily angrily reproached her, Xavia let out a sigh of sadness and responded, "I simply wish to


    pay my respects to Ms. Chloe. There''s no need for you to be so worked up."


    "Joseph! If you let her stay, I’ll take Coco away!" Emily''s face flushed with anger as she shouted at


    Joseph.


    Joseph slowly looked up and briefly nced at Xavia, but he quickly averted his gaze. The duration


    of their eye contact did not evenst three seconds.


    Xavia clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves. From the moment she had given birth until now,


    this man had barely spared her a nce. Instead, he had sent Tyson to check on the baby. What


    was he thinking?


    But it did not matter. Now that Chloe was no longer around, Xavia knew she would soon have better


    days ahead. She had an ulterior motive ining here today. Did they really think she had willingly


    come to such an inauspicious ce?


    Lucas was adept at reading people''s expressions and immediately understood Joseph''s intentions.


    He approached Xavia and politely said, "Ms. Xavia, please leave."


    "I don''t have any other intentions..." Xavia feigned innocence. "I was surprised and saddened by


    Chloe''s death. I just came to pay my final respects. If there was anything I did in the past that


    caused her unhappiness, I genuinely hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me."

    "If you truly seek her forgiveness, then go and apologize to her in the depths below," Noah suddenly


    interjected, breaking his silence. His brown eyes emitted a cold and chilling aura as if he could see


    through her thoughts.


    Xavia''s expression froze for a moment, followed by a flicker of annoyance. Speaking in a voice


    audible only to the two of them, she asked, "Tell me. Did Chloe really die? Did you go to the hospital


    to save her?"


    On the day of the fire, Xavia caught a glimpse of Noah as he hurried through the hospital. She was


    certain she had not mistaken it. That person had been him.


    But by that time, the fire had spread extensively. Xavia could distinctly hear the cries of agony


    coming from the operating room. The thought of that bitch finally disappearing from her life brought


    her immense joy. If it was not for the fear of being overheard, she would have burst intoughter to


    celebrate.


    She listened intently from outside the operating room for a long time, but the cries of agony ceased


    before the firefighters arrived. It was highly likely that Chloe had died. Even if Noah had arrived, it


    would have been toote to save her. But for some reason, Xavia could not shake off her lingering


    worry.


    Noah''s typically gentle and kind face now appeared exceptionally cold and indifferent. Leaning


    forward, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember what I told you?"


    "What?"


    "I explicitly warned you that while you could manipte Joseph''s and Coco’s feelings, you must not


    cause her any harm. How could you forget?"


    "It wasn''t me. It was Mr. Cyrus," Xavia quickly retorted, feeling a chill deep within her heart as she


    shifted the me away from herself.


    "You neglected to tell me about it." His thoughts were crystal clear, and he had no intention of letting


    Xavia off easily.


    Xavia felt unjustly used, but she certainly could not tell him the truth. She had eagerly waited for


    Chloe’s death. Moreover, she belonged to Sinir and could not betray him. But seeing Noah so


    angry, she was afraid that he might utter something inappropriate. Reluctantly, she nced in


    Joseph’s direction, then turned away.


    The funeralmenced, with Emily and Lily shedding the most heart-wrenching tears. They could


    not believe that a living person could vanish from their lives just like that. Joseph knelt before the


    urn, his cold fingertips gently caressing it as his eyes filled with immense tenderness. If someone


    was close enough, they would be shocked by the shimmering tears in his eyes. The man who could


    control the business world could not control his tears in front of the woman he loved.


    After the funeral, Joseph did not leave. He continued to gaze at the photo affixed to the headstone,


    unable to snap out of his trance. The woman in the picture wore a radiant smile, her almond-shaped


    eyes forming gentle crescents. Her infectious smile embodied the same mischievous and vibrant


    spirit as the day they first crossed paths.


    It was Chloe''s WhatsApp profile picture that had been taken two years ago.


    Joseph suddenly felt like he had woken up from a deep dream. His eyes appeared hollow,


    resembling those of a hundred-year-old man. So many irreversible things had taken ce in two


    brief years. Looking back, he now understood the depth of his regrets. He shut his eyes, yet Emily''s


    voice rang in his ears.


    "Where were you during Coco’s ident?"


    "Do you also think I was at the hospital with Xavia?"


    "Where else could you have been?"
