Chapter 423 A Bag Fanatic
After a brief pause, Chloe shook her head. “Forget it. I’ll call him back when my phone is charged. It’s probably nothing urgent.”
“Okay. Which unit do you stay at?”
“Fifth. How about you?”
“Sixth. Hey, our units are next to each other.”
Chloe slowly widened her eyes. “It really is written in the stars. I thought your university was at Docwood.”
“Yes, I studied my undergraduate course there, and I’m about to start my postgraduate soon. I chose to study in Aesper.”
Enlightenment dawned on Chloe. Postgraduate students started their semester around September and it was already August. If he had no plans to stay at the university, he would. have to rent a place and must have gotten a unit in Oceanic Residence.
They chatted with each other casually and said goodbye when they arrived at their respective
units.
When Chloe got home, she charged her phone and called Joseph back. “My phone battery died when you called me. I just charged it.”
Joseph’s unique and magnetic voice came to her. “You’re home?”
“Yeah, I am. How’s Xavia?”
“She’s fine. I gave her an earful. This kind of thing won’t happen again. You’ve suffered today.”
Hearing this, Chloe’s slender and long eyelashes lowered. “So do I have to accept Xavia’s child if we remarry in the future?”
“We’ll discuss this after the result of the amniocentesis.”
“I want to know the answer now.”
After a brief silence, Joseph heaved a sigh. “That’s not only Xavia’s child but mine too. I don’t want to be an irresponsible father, but I guarantee you that you won’t have to see Xavia again.”
Consequently, deep gloominess and despair overcame her.
“Okay, I understand. I want to go to bed now. Goodnight.”
Staring at his phone after she hung up on him, Joseph found this issue hard to handle. When he was back at his villa, he contacted Nathan.
Nathan was currently bored after enjoying some time at a nightclub. When Joseph summoned
him, he bought some snacks and beer before eagerly heading to Joseph’s villa. On his way there, he was inexplicably excited and curious. He felt that something must be troubling Joseph since he was not yet asleep at such a late hour.
After Nathan learned about the situation, he tapped his chin in contemplation. “Dude, this is a stalemate. You can’t abandon this child. At the same time, Chloe is absolutely innocent.”
Joseph relaxed and leaned into the sofa, casually propping his legs on the coffee table and crossing them. He accepted a bottle of beer and gulped it down. “How should I resolve this?”
“There’s no solution for this. Just be nicer to Chloe. Buy her cars and bags, and give her money.
“That’s it?” Joseph shot Nathan a sidelong glance.
“Dude, I’m a playboy, not God. I can’t change something like that.”
Nathan had long guessed that neither Xavia nor Chloe could not be easily trifled with. It would be very meddlesome regardless of whom Joseph chose. And as expected, that was indeed the truth.
Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly. ‘Buy her cars and bags… If I’m not mistaken, the dumbo has no driving license., so I can only buy her bags.’
The next day, Chloe woke up early to go to the office. When she arrived, she was floored.
At the ground floor entrance were more than ten trucks filled with branded bags. The drivers. and workers had never carried such items before and appeared slightly awkward. A man who looked like a mall manager was ordering them around, and the workers carried the bags into the building in an orderly fashion.
Chloe walked over, clearly stunned. “What…”
“Ms. Chloe, right?”
Chloe nodded in a daze. “Yeah.”
“Ms. Chloe, you’re one lucky woman. These are all gifts that Mr. Joseph bought you. All the branded bags in Aesper are here. Some were even shipped here overnight from further locations.” 1
