Chapter 211 Your Love Is Cheap
“Xavia wants you to spend more time with her during her chemotherapy.” Chloe said calmly, reciting the words she had rehearsed in her mind all afternoon “I’ll keep my distance from you from now on But don’t worry, I’ll continue to play my part as your wife in front of your grandfather, and if necessary, I can even move out of your house But if you want me to do it fast, I might need your help in getting a new place.”
Joseph swiftly comprehended her message, his brow furrowing deeply. “So, as long as Xavia needs it, you’re willing to step aside and let me go without putting up a fight?”
‘Aren’t you deeply in love with me?”
Sighing, Chloe said honestly, “I want to maintain some of my dignity”
She no longer desired to cling desperately to someone who no longer reciprocated her feelings. Once upon a time, she had been consumed by a burning desire for revenge against Jake, but now, she no longer needed to.
Silence permeated the car, a coldness enveloping them from the tips of their toes to the top of their heads.
Joseph suddenly released his grip on Chloe’s shoulder, his voice laced with anger “Your love is cheap.”
Chloe lowered her head, wounded by his words. She simply wished to protect herself from further pain. What was wrong with that?
Lucas trembled in fear, rendered speechless as he glanced at the drizzling rain outside, praying for a safe journey back home.
Chloe pursed her lips and asked, “So, should I continue to stay in your house or find a rental outside?”
While the villa was not small, frequent visits from Xavia would inevitably create an uncomfortable atmosphere for all three of them.
Joseph clenched his fists tightly, the sound of his knuckles cracking. “You want to move out?”
“No… I just…”
Like an enraged beast, Joseph kicked the car door open and bellowed, “If you want to move out so badly, then leave now!”
Dark clouds loomed above, casting a shadow over the sky as the drizzle intensified into a relentless downpour. The coldness quickly permeated Chloe’s skirt, sending shivers through her She wanted to ask if she could move out tomorrow, but she held back. If he wanted her to leave.
she would leave After all, all he cared about was Xavia now, and she was just an inconsequential figure who had unwittingly inserted herself into their long-standing relationship
Chloe stepped out of the car, instantly drenched by the pouring rain. It felt as if someone was continuously pouring cold water over her, chilling her to the bone. Braving the heavy rain, she took a few steps forward, attempting to create distance between herself and the person inside the
car.
Joseph’s gaze remained fixated on her delicate silhouette, his anger mounting as he forcefully kicked the car door once more, venting his frustration with a string of curses. “Drive!” he commanded.
