Chapter 338 Unless It Wasn’t Xavia That Night
Confronted by her hopeful gaze, Joseph averted his eyes and calmly said, “Let’s wait until the fetus reaches four months and have an amniocentesis done before we make a decision.”
Xavia’s joyous and excited emotions had barely begun to soar before she was doused with a bucket of icy water from head to toe. Her voice raised sharply as she shouted, “What do you mean by that?”
With an indifferent demeanor on his chiseled face, Joseph replied, “Do you really want me to spell it out for you?”
She was stumped.
‘It’s impossible. There’s no way he could know. My plan is flawless. He must only be suspicious now. That’s right. He doesn’t have any evidence. I just need to stay calm.”
With that thought in mind, Xavia tried to reach out for Joseph’s hand, but he saw through her intention and subtly evaded her
grasp.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you have any questions, just say it directly. We’ve known each other for so long. Just say whatever is on your mind,” she said.
At her words, Joseph suddenly let out a laugh, filled with irony and a chilling undertone. Indeed, they had known each other for so long, and he had just discovered how colorful her past had been.
“Fine, I’ll just ask then.”
“Yes, go ahead,” she responded.
‘Are you absolutely certain that you became pregnant after that night we spent together?”
“Well, yes, I do find it incredibly coincidental, but since the child has come into this world, perhaps it’s a twist of fate,” Xavia strained to maintain her composure, forcing at compassionate smile upon her face. “Is something wrong? If you don’t believe me, I can wait for the four-month mark and undergo amniocentesis.”
The depths of Joseph’s eyes resembled a pot of spilled ink, dark and impenetrable. He closed them briefly, and after the surge of anger, a miraculous calm settled within him. When he reopened his eyes and looked at Xavia once again, he seemed to be looking at an insignificant
ant.
He had given her a chance due to their past relationship and her physical condition, but she still refused to tell him the truth. So, he would accompany her and play this game until the end.
Xavia did not have any friends in Cloude, so there was no way she could delete the medical records in such a short time. In other words, there must be someone helping her from the shadows.

He wanted to find out what her ultimate goal was.
“We have to get the amniocentesis done. It’s Grandpa’s requirement for me to marry you,’ Joseph declared firmly.
Xavia was shocked. “You’ve already spoken to your grandfather? Does he…approve of me?”

Suppressing the hint of scorn in his eyes, Joseph responded, “Given that you’re carrying our child, it’s my responsibility to ensure you and the baby’s well-being. However, his prejudice against you may not disappear immediately.”
“I understand. If I were in his position, I’d probably feel the same way.” Xavia smiled, but her gentle gaze held a hint of compromise, evoking a desire in man to console and empathize with
her.
“You don’t have to go back to Cloude anymore. Settle down in Aesper. I’ve purchased a villa next to the hospital. Lucas will take you there later.”
“Okay,” Xavia replied obediently, “I’ll get out of your hair then. By the way, was it Jane who told you about my pregnancy?”
Joseph’s gaze flickered. “No, it was Chloe who told me.”
Surprised and angered, Xavia exclaimed, “How could Jane try to sow discord between you Ms. Chloe?”
and
“Chloe and I have ended our relationship.”
Xavia scrutinized Joseph’s facial expression carefully. He appeared distant and cold, his eyes. reflecting a rational and detached nature.
That’s right. This was the Joseph she knew-a man who categorized everything based on personal gain. He adhered to the moral principles of an ordinary person but lacked warmth and sensitivity.
