Chapter 337 Xavia Is Pregnant
Upon arriving at Joseph’s house, Chloe conscientiously changed into the disposable slippers typically worn by guests. She entered the kitchen and busied herself with the preparations.
Joseph’s gaze
fell upon the white cartoon slippers inside the wardrobe, causing his brow to furrow once again.
“Why aren’t you wearing your original pair?” he asked.
Chloe was caught off guard by his question while tending to her tasks in the kitchen. She froze for a split moment before replying casually, “I didn’t feel like wearing them. I’ll throw them away when I leave.”
“Why would you throw them away?” Joseph stubbornly pressed, despite already knowing the
answer.
“I don’t live here anymore. Do you expect me to keep them as a keepsake?” Chloe responded. Her nonchalance marred his expression.
Without a word, Joseph slammed the door and stormed into the study. Half an hour later, he emerged from the room and glanced at the prepared meal in the kitchen. Picking up his fork, he began to eat.
Baffled, Chloe’s face contorted with confusion. “Isn’t this meal meant for Grandpa?”
“Patrick said he fell asleep and won’t be eating,” Joseph replied.
Chloe furrowed her brow. “Are you messing with me?”
Innocence washed over Joseph’s handsome face as he replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Taking a deep breath, Chloe decided not to argue with Joseph, knowing he could be quite unreasonable. Meanwhile, she silently vented her frustrations in her mind, ‘Go on then. Eat more. I hope you turn into a fat pig!’
As she changed her shoes and prepared to leave, she ran into Gabriel, who happened to be walking in. The man exuded an androgynous allure, captivating those who laid eyes on him. and leaving no doubt that he was not to be taken lightly.
Without hesitation, he firmly grasped Chloe’s arm and led her back to the living room.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” she exclaimed.
“I came here because of business, so I don’t have much time. To get straight to the point, Xavia is indeed pregnant,” Gabriel revealed, presenting a screenshot from Cloude Hospital to both of them. “The problem is that Xavia intentionally had someone delete her medical records, which is highly suspicious. Why would she delete her records in the first place?
Moreover, she managed to do it before Joseph could investigate. In other words, someone
must have informed her about our investigation. Besides Jane, have you shared this information with anyone else?”
Noticing Chloe lost in thought, Gabriel nudged her. “Hey, wake up.”
Chloe felt a heavy discomfort in her chest and lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions.” Icarus knows about this too.”
“Icarus? Who’s Icarus?” Gabriel asked, “Does he know Xavia?”
Chloe was no longer in the mood to answer his questions. She simply stated, “I have family matters to attend to, so I have to go now.”
Without giving either of them a chance to respond, she hastily left Joseph’s house.
Joseph, who had remained silent throughout, caught up to her and stopped her in her tracks. ” I’m sorry. I was a fool for not believing you,” he said in a low, husky voice, burdened by complex and heavy emotions.
This was the first time Joseph had apologized to Chloe, and it was because of Xavia.
Chloe raised her head, gazing at the vast starry sky. Her eyes welled up with a burning sensation, yet she fought back the tears, refusing to let them escape. “It’s getting late. I need to get home and get some sleep,” she said.
Joseph set his jaw. “Let me send you home.”
“No,” Chloe said, looking into his eyes. “Let’s end it here. I’ll fulfill my duties to Grandpa as usual for the next three months, but we shouldn’t contact each other anymore.”
With those words, she turned and walked.
away.
There was a series of footsteps behind her. However, the sound of footsteps came to a halt. after about ten steps.
Tonight, sleep refused to come to Chloe. And she was not the only one suffering from insomnia. Joseph too was restless throughout the night.
The next morning, he called Xavia. Upon seeing the timing of his call, Xavia’s heart skipped a
beat.
“Morning, Joe,” she greeted, trying to sound composed.
“Are you pregnant?” he asked, his tone questioning yet filled with certainty.
“Joe, I can explain-” Xavia began, but Joseph cut her off.
