Blocking the doorway, Noah said as he stared at her, "Coco, please don’t provoke me. The consequences could be severe."
"Putting sleeping pills in my water, taking my phone, locking me up, and sending my grandfather away… Who’s the one provoking whom?!"
"And do I not have reasons to do all this?" Despite his soft chuckle, Noah’s teeth clenched tightly. "Do you want me to say out loud the things you and Joseph were up to last night? Don't you find it embarrassing and disgraceful, or are you just used to it already?"
Noah and Chloe had publicly acknowledged their relationship. Even before their engagement, they were already known as a couple. And while in that role, she maintained a questionable relationship with her ex-husband, causing him embarrassment on multiple occasions. The first time he discovered them doing such things, he believed she was forced and forgave her. But what about the second time? And the third? Did she not know how to say no? Why would she refuse to cut off contact with Joseph? Was this because she did not know how to reject him or that she simply did not want to?
Chloe was stunned, and her nails dug into her palm. “Yes, I am everything you’ve just said. Are you satisfied now?" If this could make him dislike her and cancel their wedding, so be it. She did not care about carrying an unsavory reputation. It was not the first time for her anyway.
Noah felt his heart being torn apart and his face fell. "Are you trying to make me call off the wedding?"
Chloe nodded. "Yes. I don’t want to get married."
"Joseph planted this thought in your mind."
This was not a question, but a statement.
Chloe did not agree with his statement. Her gaze dimmed and her expression was tinged with disappointment as she said, "Stop bringing him up. Why don’t you take a look at yourself and realize your own flaws instead?”
