Chapter 388 There Are Some Unusual Findings
Chloe froze for a few moments before realizing what he was saying. She proudly tilted her chin up and asked, “Well, am I clever or what?”
Her almond eyes had just shed tears, giving them a slight redness. However, her mischievous and spirited nature remained evident, unable to be hidden.
A suffocating sensation gripped Joseph’s chest as he observed her. ‘She shouldn’t have to worry about her safety in life. She should live carefree, just like the shameless little vixen she used to be.”
“Let me find you a bodyguard.”
A peculiar expression flickered across Chloe’s innocent face. “Are you worried about me?” she asked.
“Mh-mm.”
She was taken aback, her eyes brimming with joy. But before she could fully embrace the moment, Joseph interjected with a sobering remark. “If something happens to you, no one will be able to handle the old man for me.”
“…There’s no need for that!”
Joseph leaned in, cupping her cheeks with both hands, teasingly saying, “Do you really think I’m worried about you?”
Feeling exposed, Chloe pushed him away in a mix of annoyance and embarrassment. “Of course not! You’re overthinking things.”
“Tsk.”
Joseph elongated his tone, his eyes glinting with amusement. He accompanied Chloe to the entrance of the villa area, and then they parted ways, each heading in their own direction.
When Chloe arrived home, she was surprised to find Icarus waiting for her. His chin now sported a small beard, and he seemed less vibrant than before. Although his legs showed signs of improvement, he still relied on a cane, which added to his disheveled appearance.
“Chloe, I’ve reflected on my actions over the past few days. The car accident was my fault. 1 shouldn’t have deceived you for my own selfish reasons.”
“It’s okay.”
Her response was remarkably composed. Indeed, upon learning that Icarus had deceived her, Chloe was not consumed by anger. She simply found it hard to believe.
Thinking that Chloe was still angry, Icarus became even more sincere. “I understand that I’ve shattered your trust, but I sincerely ask for another chance. I’ll do anything, and I’ll accept any
decision you make.”
“There’s really no need. Let’s just leave it at this.” Chloe contemplated the situation and decided it was best to endure a brief period of discomfort. She settled herself and said to him, As you know, feeling touched does not equate to love. I’m now a divorced woman, and you. deserve someone who can offer you more. Your family will also be happier this way. Let’s…just be friends. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to me. I’ll do my best to help you.
Icarus was unconvinced and furrowed his brow. “Is it because Joseph pressured you again? Is that why you ended things with me?”
“No…”
