A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438

Sure, Joseph and Cora had slept together, but not a single drop of true affection remained between them. Deep down, Cora was spiraling-worried sick about when he would make his move on the Zahn residence and what horrors he might uncover.

“Joseph, you’re the only man I’ve ever been with, and the children I bore are yours. I couldn’t even find another man to father them if I tried. Where is the justice in any of this?”

That evening, Jenna returned home. She was startled the second she flipped the lights on-Joseph was sitting calmly in her living room.

“You… You just broke into my house without my permission. What’s the meaning of this? I thought you were a doctor. Have you taken up burglary now?”

Joseph sat with his legs crossed, grinning at Jenna as he said, “You don’t have a boyfriend, and you don’t even bring men home?

“You’re really living the single life, aren’t you? You’ll have to change that personality of yours if you want someone to like you.”

“You make it sound like your life is better than mine! Joseph, you should deal with your own problems first!”

Once Jenna had calmed down, she also found herself filled with a strange feeling. In the past, she would come home to nothing but furniture, and there was no one to talk to.

Now that Joseph was inside her house, she finally had someone she could have a conversation with.

She asked first, “You don’t have my house keys. How did you get in here?”

Since the lock wasn’t damaged, that meant Joseph had gotten in with a key.

“I got to know a few people lately. One of them is an excellent locksmith, so I had him open the door for me. What’s so hard about that?”

“One of your shady connections, huh? Hmph! Next time, if you want to come into my house, you have to let me know in advance.”

“Alright. I’ll get to the point. I see you have a guest room here. Let me stay here for a few days. Once you take me into the Zahn residence, and I find out what I want to know, I’ll move out.”

“You… You want to stay with me?” Jenna became nervous.

“Stay with you? You could frame it that way. Judging by that look on your face, are you worried I’m going to jump your bones?

“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t seduce me, that wouldn’t even cross my mind.”

“Joseph, have I been too nice to you lately? You break into my house, and now you want to stay with me?
