Chapter 282


    Joseph held Chloe’s hand and walked hurriedly in the empty and gorgeous corridor.


    It was as if two noble youths had abandoned the shackles of the secr world, stepped on the customs


    of the public, and had a soul-stirring elopement.


    Chloe gazed deeply at the man’s broad and handsome back, which was extremely safe. His chest rose


    and fell, and his palms were sweaty.


    At this moment, she admitted that she was a little moved by him.


    At the same time, she also hated herself. She hated herself for liking him thirteen years ago. Three


    years ago, she liked him. Now, she actually had feelings for him because of this simple hand-holding.


    This was too easy for him!


    Joseph was in a very good mood. He led her along the way and stopped at the entrance of a luxury


    suite.


    Chloe was flustered and flustered. Her face was red in embarrassment. She forcefully shook off his


    hand and said angrily, “Joseph! What do you mean by this”


    “How dare you flirt with me in my, Chloe’s, territory? Do you believe that I will call my brother over to


    tear you apart?” Joseph was stunned. Seeing that she was misunderstanding, he could not help but


    laugh. “What are you thinking about? I just stored the gift I gave you here.”


    Chloe’s beautiful eyes widened. Her lips that were as delicate as rose petals were tightly pursed, and


    her cheeks were even redder.


    “Although I can deal with them together, I really want to make a higher impression. I will be honest.”


    Suddenly, Joseph’s eyes darkened and he leaned towards her. The ends of his eyes were red, but he


    tried his best to restrain Himself. “Even if I really don’t want to be honest, I will only take you home.”


    “I won’t go back to your home even if you beat me to death! That’s enough!” The more Chloe listened,


    the more embarrassed she became. She turned away and simply did not look at him.


    “Maznd Manor, it has never been my home. Chloe, I don’t have a home.” Joseph’s voice was slightly


    hoarse, and his eyes dimmed in an instant.


    Chloe felt a stab in her chest. “…”


    “In the future, I will only have a home if I am with you. If I can’t, I would rather live a life of wandering.”


    Joseph’s throat rolled with difficulty, and thousands of bitter emotions blocked his chest.


    Chloe slowly turned her gaze back to his eyes, which were shing with a sincere luster.


    He was so slow, like a patient who had been entangled in a long sickbed and had been tortured by a


    painful illness to the point of being numb and tired.


    With just one look, Joseph’s heart was as sharp as a knife, and he was iparably regretful.


    He was still too impatient, too impatient. Even if he really wanted to say that, he couldn’t say it. He


    clearly knew that what she hated the most was…


    “You have joined the army before, right? You are a soldier of the peace-keeping army.” Chloe suddenly


    asked.


    Joseph suddenly felt ominous. Just as he opened his thin lips, he was, interrupted by the little girl who


    was covered in thorns. “In those years, you were indeed homeless.” But who did you exile yourself for?


    You know it well.”


    “In the end, it was not me.”


    Can’t go.


    Can’t go.


    Joseph was anxious and panicked, her thin lips trembling, her throat rolling, but she couldn’t make a


    sound.


    Just then, there was a click


    The door opened, and both of them panicked.


    However, it greatly alleviated the embarrassment and embarrassment.


    “Mr. Sawle! Mrs. Sawle! It really is you!”


    Max stood at the door and smiled happily. “I just vaguely heard the voices of you two talking. Seeing


    that you didn’te in for a long time, I opened the door to take a look.”


    Chloe, Joseph: “…”


    “Eh… I, I didn’t disturb the two of you, did I?” Max saw that the atmosphere was not right and broke out


    in a cold sweat. “It’s fine.”


    With a cold and charming face, Chloe lowered his eyes and shed into the room.


    Joseph pursed her pale lips and followed him in.


    Just as Max was about to enter the door, the president closed the door directly. He threw out two words


    coldly and squeezed out from the gap that was about to close.


    “Guard it.”


    Max quickly stood up and said, “Yes! Mr. Sawle!”


    As soon as Chloe entered the room, she saw an antique collection box ced on the coffee table. It


    was made of high-quality ck wood.


    She had a pair of insight beads, and just by looking at the box, she could already guess that it was not


    amon item. “What a beautiful box…” Chloe stared at it and could not help but sigh.


    “Don’t just look at the box. Open it and take a look at the things inside.” Joseph slowly walked to her


    side.


    All of his attention was focused on this beautiful face that he was deeply fascinated with.


    With confusion and expectation, Chloe wiped her wet hands on the skirt.


    This cute little action was naturally captured by the man, and he liked it so much that his heart itched,


    and his blood boiled. Chloe carefully opened the box –


    The pink and azure colors that had always been in harmony with each other were so beautiful that they


    couldn’t be and the light colored and slightly intoxicated shadow — the red and tall ss of shadow – in


    front of her eyes!


    It was as if a dream was not real!


    “Oh!”


    Chloe couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise and covered her red lips with both hands!


    In Stefan’s private museum, there were countless treasures and antiques, but there were no Yuan


    Dynasty antiques!


    The appearance of this high-heeled cup could be said to make up for this regret, and it also made


    Chloe excited!


    square,


    “This is me. I identally saw it from a collector of Puplen three months ago. I think you will like it very


    much. After a few negotiations and some tricks, he was willing to sell this to me.” Joseph smiled faintly.


    How much effort and suffering had she gone through in the process, all of it vanished the moment she


    revealed a smile. It was worth it.


    “It’s beautiful… it’s really beautiful.”


    Chloe murmured, her almond eyes shing with joy.


    Since she was not wearing gloves, her hands only dared to circle around the cup, not daring to touch it


    at all.


    “It’s yours now. You can touch it however you want.”


    Joseph’s slightly lowered starry eyes were gentle and tender. He moved behind her, slowly and


    carefully raising his solid


    arms.


    Then, just like how she protected the antique, his arms also gently protected her in his hot chest.


    The man held her little hand from behind and gently grasped it, but he was very firm.


    Chloe felt his hot breath gush into her hair, suddenly deep and shallow, hitting her ears.


    A wave of heat surged up from the deepest part of her heart, dyeing her cold corbone and beautiful


    ears red.


    Their heartbeats gradually elerated, and their shadows ovepped.


    The air seemed to be suffused with a sweet fragrance that made people feel slightly tipsy…


    “Joseph, you…”


    Chloe’s red lips parted slightly and she suddenly felt her back sink.


    Joseph leaned forward and suddenly clung to her. A pair of muscr arms suddenly wrapped around


    her slender waist and pulled her deeply into his embrace.


    “Chloe, you can hit meter.”


    Let’s hug first.


    It was time for the birthday banquet and the dance party.


    As the heroine, Sia naturally danced with Stefan in the melodious music. The surrounding guests all


    showed envious smiles.


    Stefan was a young master of a rich and noble family. It was necessary to dance this kind of social


    dance. Even though he was now old, he was better than the young man when he danced.


    Because Sia had the skills of singing and dancing, and he had learned social dancing before when he


    was filming, his level was high, and when he danced, he was no less than a professional dancer. The


    two of them danced together, and the gorgeous dance steps made people unable to look away.


    Some of the other guests brought dance partners, some found dance partners on the spot, and the


    dance pool was full ofughter andughter, and the atmosphere was very good.


    Of course, Koda wanted to dance with his wife, Selene.


    As for Vincent’s dance partner, other than Annie, there was no one else.


    “I, I won’t… I won’t dance anymore, will I?”


    Annie was originally sitting on the sofa in the corner drinking fruit juice and eating cake. It was quite


    pleasant, but Vincent had another trick up his sleeve and insisted on pulling her to dance!


    She had seen her parents dance before, and she had seen Skyler dance before. She felt that she


    could not do it. Moreover, she would never have such an opportunity in her life to attract the attention of


    others.


    “No, it doesn’t matter. I will teach you slowly, Annie.” Vincent leaned over and put his hands on her


    shoulders, trying to persuade her patiently.


    “Don’t dance anymore… Brother Vincent.”


    Annie drooped her head, a small piece of cream sticking to the corner of her lips. Her aggrieved


    appearance was very heartbreaking. “They are all dancing well. I won’t. I will lose face for you.”


    Moreover… and I don’t like this ce with so many people. I’m flustered when there are so many


    people.


    Vincent’s pupils contracted, and she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.


    The second sentence was what she really meant.


    He had clearly already taken her to heart, but when he was excited, it was easy for him to get over it. It


    was still easy for him to forget that this girl was a social fear + autism patient.


    You really don’t have a heart, Vincent!


    “Brother Vincent, are you… angry with me?” Seeing that the man did not speak for a long time, Annie


    panicked and her pair of little feet in Mary leather shoes turned into eight.


    Vincent quickly knelt down on one knee in front of her, raised his charming and charming face, and


    used his fingers to wipe away the yful cream on the corner of her lips.


    Then, he put the fingertips stained with cream into his mouth and sucked it.


    “Well, it’s so sweet.”


    Bang


    Annie’s pink cheeks instantly turned red, and she shyly clenched her fists. “How did you eat it? How…


    how dirty is it?”


    “How could it be dirty? Annie is covered with sweet and fragrant.” Vincent’s phoenix’eyes shone with a


    sincere light as he held her cool hand tightly and covered it.


    “Really?” Annie’s heart was beating like a little rabbit.


    “Real. When has Brother Vincent ever lied to you?”


    Vincent looked at her clear eyes and suddenly thought of something. He smiled wickedly and asked,


    “It’s so boring to watch you sit here all night. Can Brother Vincent teach you how to dance?”


    “I… I’m very stupid.” Annie waspletely unconfident.


    “It doesn’t matter. I will teach you slowly.”


    Vincent leaned close to her ear, and his warm breath rubbed against her earlobe, “Just like how I


    taught you how to kiss.”


    “Ah!” Annie blushed like a ripe tomato and cried out in shame!


    Vincent pped his own mouth, “Damn it! Be serious, stinky rascal!”


    On the other side, Thorp family’s atmosphere was also very good.


    Freya was drunk, holding a wine ss and drinking red wine while pulling Kiran to dance.


    Helena was even more interesting. She actually was a partner with Oscar, which made Marble


    dumbfounded!


    “Mom! If you want to dance, you can either dance with my dad or me. What’s the matter with you


    dancing with big brother?” Marble helplessly looked at his mother who was dancing with Oscar.


    However, it had to be said that when her mother danced, not only was she not old, but she was also


    radiant. It could be imagined how outstanding a beauty she was twenty years ago.


    “I don’t want to dance with you. With your clumsy hands and feet, you are good at catching criminals.


    You are not a dancer!”


    Helena held Oscar’s hand and turned it around. “Your parents are so beautiful and so rhythmic. How


    did they give birth to a person whose limbs are uncoordinated? It’s really strange!”


    Marble shrugged disapprovingly. “What’s the use of dancing? It’s not like we can catch criminals. Could


    it be that before we catch criminals, I can dance a dance for them and they will be able to execute on


    the spot?”


    Helena retorted, “Hmph, if you can really do that, it’ll be too good. If you don’t use a knife or a gun,


    you’ll be scared to death!”


    The mother and son bickered, causing everyone tough endlessly.


    Rose sat in the corner and drank alone.


    Looking at the happy and warm family, her eyes gradually reddened, and ayer of almost


    imperceptible crystal tears welled up in her eyes.


    “Miss Rose.”


    Rose snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly opened her eyes.


    Riley had appeared in front of her at some point in time. His handsome face revealed a radiant smile as


    he extended his right hand towards her like a gentleman.


    “Can I invite you to dance?”


    “Of course.” Rose stood up gracefully and ced her slender hand in his palm.


    Facing the light, Riley suddenly frowned.


    He noticed that there were faint tears in her eyes.


    He couldn’t help but use some strength on his fingertips, which made Rose panic and suddenly wanted


    to pull her hand


    away.


    “What? Are you going back on your word?” Riley raised his eyebrows and his voice sank.


    “No… but why are you pinching my hand?” Rose’s clear and bright eyes were filled with anger.


    “If I don’t pinch your hand, can I pinch your feet?” Riley thought that her question was very silly, so he


    teased her.


    “You! Ah!”


    Rose wanted to retort, but Riley directly embraced her slender waist, and then her body turned!


    She suddenly felt the light and shadow in front of her sway, and in the blink of an eye, she was dancing


    with the man along with the music.


    “Did you cry just now?” Riley ced hisrge hand on her back, looked at her red eyes, and asked in a


    low voice.


    “Who cried? I was sleepy. I yawned twice and cried.” Rose’s heart trembled and she tried to hide it.


    “Oh, then just take it that I made a mistake.”


    “What do you mean just take it? You made a mistake.”


    Rose was indignant and gritted her teeth. “Your eyes are indeed not good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t


    have hit my car.”


    “Oh, I forgot to tell you something.” Riley pretended to be in a daze.


    “What?”


    “After you left, I called the traffic police. The traffic police have been confirmed. It is all your


    responsibility, Miss Rose.”


    Rose widened her eyes in anger and bit her lips in embarrassment.


    “In addition, the insurancepany will contact you tomorrow. ‘You don’t have to keep me. Just fix my


    car.”


    With that, Riley smiled and leaned close to her face, “Save it for you.”


    Ah!


    Ah!


    How could there be such a cheap man in the world


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Rose roared in her heart. She really wanted to lift her foot and trample his foot!


    …


    From the beginning of the ball, Jerome had been apanying his mother and had not left for half a


    step.


    However, his deep eyes kept looking for Chloe.


    Chloe was gone.


    Joseph was also gone!


    Jerome couldn’t help but feel nervous. A sense of suffocation pressed against his chest and robbed his


    breath.


    “Jerome, you don’t have to worry about me. Go find Chloe.””


    Mrs. Xavier was now clear-headed. She looked at her son with eyes full of guilt. “Mom knows that you


    like Chloe for a long time… Go find Chloe and dance. This is such a good opportunity


    Don’t stay by my side. Go.


    “Mom, don’t think too much. I am willing to stay with you.”


    Jerome leaned over tofort his mother and smiled gently. “Chloe and I have plenty of time in the


    future.” “Jerome!”


    Jerome suddenly looked up, his eyes cold to the extreme.


    Mrs. Xavier heard a familiar voice that she had not heard for a long time. Her whole body was dark and


    she leaned into her


    son’s arms.


    “Jerome,e out. I have something to say to you!” Draco stared at him sternly and angrily.


    “Dad, are you old? Are your eyes not good? Your wife is right in front of you. Can’t you see her?”


    Jerome’s whole body exuded a chill that made people tremble. He confronted his biological father in a


    gloomy manner.
