Chapter 232 Are You Going to Lock Me Up Again?
Joseph’s brow furrowed, his voice laced with frustration as he asked, “I’ve already decided to forgive you, so what trouble are you stirring up again?”
Upon-hearing the word “again,” Chloe chuckled She turned around, her eyes shining brightly as they locked onto Joseph. “What do you mean, again? What did I do? Did I cheat on you or commit some unforgivable sin?”
The accusing tone in her voice did not sit well with Joseph, and his expression grew icy. “You lied and still think you did nothing wrong?”
“Have you ever thought about why I lied?”
Joseph was stunned. Before he could say anything, Chloe pressed on. “That’s because I knew that even if I had told you that I ran into Icarus, you’d still be suspicious and angry. Speaking the truth or not would lead to the same outcome, so why bother?”
“Even though nothing happened between you and Icarus this time, you shouldn’t talk to him since you know he has a thing for you!”
“So, now I can’t even talk to someone of the opposite sex?!” Chloe laughed scornfully and emphasized every word that came out of her mouth. “Joseph, I’m a human being. I need social interaction. Even if you disapprove of someone in my circle, the right approach is to sit down and have a calm conversation with me. Not lock me away like a criminal”
After finishing her words, Chloe did not give him a chance and turned around to leave. Fortunately, she managed to return to her bedroom in one piece. She flopped onto the bed, letting out a sigh of relief. She was terrified, absolutely terrified Thankfully, Joseph did not lose his
temper.
She had finally stood up for herself. Next time, she would strive to do even better!
This time, she was confined for one night, but next time it could be a whole month. She could not
let Joseph think that she was a pushover.
Meanwhile, she realized that she had recovered a lot from her cold. She had not even taken any cold medicine, so she wondered how. Could it be that her immunity had grown stronger?
Chloe stayed in her bedroom for a while, and then Joseph knocked on the door.
“What do you want? Are you going to lock me up again?” Her voice was cold, but her ears perked
There was a moment of silence outside the door. “My grandpa wants us to go to the family home for dinner. There’s a party tonight.”
Chloe pressed her lips together and said, “But I need to go to the office to make some revisions to
some documents. It’ll take about half an hour.”
“Is your cold any better?”
“I felt much better once I returned to my bedroom.”
“Get ready to go to the family house.”

“What about my work?”
“We’ll stop by the office on the way and you can pick up your laptop.”
Chloe finished her morning routine and rummaged through the wardrobe, selecting an outfit from the clothes Joseph had bought for her before. She opted for a knee-length skirt that struck the perfect balance between sophistication and modesty.
After that, she applied rosy pink lipstick to add a touch of vibrancy to her complexion.
When she came downstairs, she found Joseph already waiting for her in the car. As she passed by the living room, her gaze briefly flickered over the breakfast on the dining table.
‘Joseph’s not in the habit of buying breakfast from outside…’
Chloe did not question it because she already had an answer in her heart.
