Chapter 247 I Have Some Unresolved Trauma in This Area
Joseph took a deep breath and gently picked up Chloe in his arms, heading toward the bedroom.
Chloe’s initial surprise turned into a realization of his intentions, causing her body to tense up. She quickly voiced her protest, “No, Jojo! We’re both too exhausted today.”
Joseph’s footsteps halted, and a playful smile adorned his face. “Don’t worry,” he assured her.
Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes widened, her mind momentarily blank as her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. While she was unstoppable with her witty banter, she became timid like a turtle when it came to actual practice. Especially in this aspect, where men would naturally take the lead.
Soon, her body felt weak, her resistance crumbling under Joseph’s advances. Part of her wanted to give in, but in her state of confusion, the vivid image of Jake and Ava caught in bed flashed through her mind. It jolted her back to reality, dispelling the haze of the moment.
“No… Jojo, I can’t do it right now,” Chloe said, pushing Joseph away, furrowing her brows as she refused.
Sensing her sudden shift in emotions, Joseph wrapped his arms around her and spoke in a voice that was unusually gentle, “What’s wrong?”
After a few seconds of contemplation, Chloe made the decision to be honest. “I have some
unresolved trauma in this area.”
Joseph’s eyelid twitched, and his flawless face turned serious. Unresolved trauma? Did that mean she had previous experiences with other men?
Chloe noticed the shift in his expression and shivered involuntarily. She protested in a low voice, “You have exes too. Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’ve never been intimate with Xavia.”
Chloe found it hard to believe. “Really?”
“Yes.”
“That’s great. You’re still pure.”
“But you’re not.”
“I am!”
Chloe sighed heavily as she recounted the incident of discovering her ex-boyfriend’s Infidelity. Joseph’s face grew even darker upon hearing it. He gritted his teeth and asked, You’ve seen other men in the act?”
“Umm, it’s not like I intentionally looked. It was just a coincidence,” Chloe replied defensively. Joseph looked at her with disdain and remarked, “You certainly had poor taste in the past.”
“Well, people make mistakes sometimes. Now that I’m with you every day, my eyes have been cleansed. Give me some time to process it, and then we can… um, you know, take that step! Okay?” Chloe’s fair and tender face turned crimson with shyness.
It has to be said that sweet talk still has its effect.
Upon hearing her cautiously coaxing him, Joseph felt his anger subside. However, he also felt a hint of frustration. It was both exasperating and endearing how easily dumbo could disarm him with just a few words. The key was that he secretly enjoyed it.
