"Mind your own business," Joseph said and dragged Chloe away.
Emily stomped her foot in frustration. 'Jeez, he's so unreasonable!'
In the car, silence hung between Joseph and Chloe as they exchanged glances. Chloe turned to stare out of the window. Joseph felt a sense of sadness at being ignored. Sitting at the front, Lucas tried his best to minimize his presence, hoping not to incur either of their wrath.
After a while, Joseph said after composing himself, "We'll get the maternity DNA test results for Amelia and Karen the day after tomorrow."
Chloe turned back to him. Her voice shook with emotion as she asked, "You believe me?"
"When did I ever say I didn't?"
"You never once believed me and always doubted me," she retorted.
Her words stung him. His face sank, and he decided to stay silent.
The sky darkened, and they slowly left Aesper, heading toward the direction of Docwood. As she watched the passing scenery, Chloe asked, "Aren't we going home?"
Joseph replied calmly, "No, we're going somewhere else."
"Where?"
"Our marital home," Joseph continued, his gaze softening slightly. "It's located at the boundary line of Docwood and Cloude. The renovations are done and the place has been furnished. We'll be living there from now on."
'The boundary line of Docwood and Cloude…'
