Chapter 405 Cheating and Accident Are Different
At that moment, she yearned to hug Joseph. She wanted to embrace him and give him warmth. Chloe extended her hands, but they stopped in mid-air. Their current identities prohibited them from having such intimate gestures with each other. She then forced a bitter smile and decided to maintain some distance from him.
Suddenly, Joseph caught her off guard and hugged her. He then leaned his chin on her shoulder and said in exhaustion, “Let me lean on you for a while.”
Chloe pursed her lips and patted his back to console him. “Okay.”
They hugged each other. At the same time, their scents mixed together in an inexplicable harmony. Chloe looked up at the moon in the sky. Since they were on the rooftop, the moon looked large and round. It seemed near but far at the same time.
After taking a moment, Joseph regained his composure but did not let her go. He buried his face against her neck and greedily took in her unique scent.
“Let’s stop arguing and get back together.”
He sounded aloof. Every word he uttered was light as if he was murmuring. His thin lips touched her skin from time to time and it tickled.
Chloe shuddered. “What did you say…”
He held her face with both hands and leaned the tip of his nose against hers. He then repeated himself. “Let’s get back together.”
Chloe pursed her red lips tightly. “Are you serious?”
“When have I ever lied to you?”
“I don’t want to because you cheated on me.”
She was bothered by what happened that night, so she was reluctant to forgive him.
“That’s an accident. Having an affair and an accident are two different things.”
“Was it an accident?”
Scumbags always made such statements when they made mistakes.
“I’m going to get Xavia to come over. We’ll confront each other face-to-face.” Chloe stared at his passionate eyes as her heartbeat quickened. “What if you are conspiring with her to lie to me?”
Joseph pinched her ear and questioned with a smile, “Would it do her any good?”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“That’s fine then.”
“Aren’t you bothered by the fact that I mistook you for Icarus?”
“Life is short. Why should we argue over the past? People are bound to make mistakes. It’s fine as long as your feelings for me are real.”
Chloe gaped in bewilderment. She never expected him to say such warm words since he was always so aloof. It was indeed strange.
“How do you know that my feelings for you are real? You never trusted me.”
“Yes, you’re a little fickle. But isn’t my appearance and wealth superior to the useless Jake, Icarus who tried to seek your sympathy, and also that young, inexperienced Noah?”
He had absolute confidence. As long as he turned around, he would still be the dumbo’s first choice.
