Annoyed with Xavia, Chloe did not wish to see her any longer. "It's fine, Patrick. I'm not hungry."
"Let's eat together. You need to stay with Grandpa for the second half of the night," Joseph said in an aloof tone.
"Joe, I want to stay too and show my respect for Grandpa." Xavia sounded gentle as she looked at him eagerly, wishing that he would agree to it.
"I told you to take care of the baby. You don't have to tire yourself over anything else. We can just let Chloe deal with these sorts of things."
Joy flashed across Xavia's face as she said shyly. "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Joseph glanced indifferently at Chloe and ordered, "Patrick, take her upstairs."
"I don't want to eat. I’ve lost my appetite after seeing you and her disgusting faces." Chloe sharply looked up and clenched her fists tightly. Disgust and hatred filled her eyes as she looked at Joseph.
Disgusting faces?
Joseph scoffed before he bent down and pinched her chin strenuously. "What right do you have to claim that I'm disgusting? You're the most disgusting one here. You’re the fickle bitch who cheated on me."
Chloe was stunned as she stared at the handsome man before her. Suddenly, she found that she did not know him at all. He always condemned her indiscriminately. She thought that he would change and trust her, but she was wrong. It was only a facade he had put up.
Maybe it was because of the child that he had been gentle to her recently, tolerating her. Otherwise, he would never have asked her to stay after letting her go.
Being stared at, Joseph felt ill at ease. He turned to the side and snorted. "Don't look at me like that. I'm only telling the truth."
"Sure. The truth." Chloe felt the urge to laugh as she grew more upset. Her pale face was filled with deep disappointment.
