Chapter 464 To Conceal Those Vulgar Thoughts
Chloe sat up in a daze and checked the time. It was two o’clock in the afternoon.
Joseph got out of bed and picked up his clothes to put them on, buttoning his shirt languidly. ” Go wash up. Don’t bother with makeup. They’ve been waiting downstairs for a while now.”
“Got it.”
Chloe washed her face with water to eliminate her sleepiness and wake herself up. She then checked her appearance in the mirror and found that her eyes were slightly bloodshot. It was most probably a result of her piteous cries the day before.
In the tea room in the yard, Noah was wearing a simple white T-shirt and loose jeans. The bangs he combed up yesterday were now lying softly over his forehead. With his head lowered, he looked like an obedient child who had done something wrong.
Joseph, who came downstairs, saw this scene and secretly scoffed. ‘What a pretentious man!’
“Chloe, are you okay?” Harold asked Chloe in concern as he took the lead.
The police had suppressed the news, and everything had happened out of the blue. If Desmond had not gone to Harold, the latter would still be ignorant of the accident.
“Jojo and the police got there in time, so I wasn’t hurt.” After that, she greeted Desmond, ” I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Desmond waved his hand and appeared solemn. “Exotic Star failed in our security measures yesterday and put a lot of people in peril. I came with Noah today to apologize to you.”
He did not feel embarrassed since it was a life-and-death issue. Dignity and pride were vague and could never be compared to life-and-death matters.
Noah timely looked up with deep guilt in his innocent eyes. He bowed to them deeply, his tone and expression were depictions of vehement sincerity. “Mr. Joseph, Coco, I’m sorry.”
Chloe wanted to help him up, but Joseph stopped her. It was unknown if he did it intentionally or not. He smiled faintly. “It’s fine. After all, accidents are unavoidable. I’m just curious why you asked them to take you as the hostage instead yesterday?”
Harold’s eyes flickered with a curious light. ‘Did something like that happen?’
“He’s young, so he isn’t very mature in handling things. I scolded him about it,” Desmond explained.
“I see.” Joseph nodded. The side of his face was handsome. He then said casually, “I thought it was because you cared so much about her.”
Chloe knitted her brows and discreetly yanked his sleeve to indicate that the two elders were around, so he could not speak nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Noah nodded. “Mr. Joseph, you’re right. I cared very much about this affair.” Joseph raised his brows and looked at Noah.
