Chapter 360
Chapter 360
Back when she was with Joshua, this never even crossed her mind.
Back then, Joshua never made her feel that way.
Or maybe it was the sense of security Joshua gave her that kept those worries far from her mind.
But now, out of nowhere, a wave of unease washed over her.
She knitted her brows just a little, her eyes full of worry as she looked at Joshua.
Joshua tilted his head in confusion. “Why would you think that?”
“Don’t you?” Xylia pressed.
Xylia felt a bit relieved.
Joshua let out a soft laugh, his gaze gentle as he looked at her.

“With someone as gentle and kind as you, I just can’t see you ever being cold to your own kid. You’re nothing like that with your child. Did something happen in your last marriage that made you feel that way?” he asked.
As he said that, his voice suddenly turned cold.
If that was the case, he’d make sure to teach whoever hurt Xylia a lesson they’d never forget.
His face stayed calm, but Xylia could feel the intense, dangerous vibe in his eyes.
It had only been a little over a year.
Jupiton had changed quite a bit.
Even this grilled fish joint had swapped out its tables and chairs for new ones.
The flavor was just like before, but the people weren’t the same anymore.
“You were the one who helped me get out of that painful marriage,” Xylia said.
Joshua stiffened, caught off guard by her words.
He looked at Xylia as she went on, “I don’t want to hide anything from you. Back then, that marriage felt like a suffocating storm cloud hanging over me. You were the one who parted the clouds and helped me escape. If you want to know, I’ll tell you everything”
For some reason, Joshua was suddenly afraid to hear what came next.
Xylia spoke in a flat, almost emotionless tone as she told Joshua about her past.
She explained why she ended up marrying Connor, how Joshua helped her break free from that marriage, and how he kept saving her, time after time.
By the time she finished, Joshua’s expression had turned so dark, it was almost frightening.
After Xylia finished, he said coldly, “If I’d known, I would’ve had my bodyguards beat him within an inch of his life that day

at the hospital!”
Of course, he meant Connor.
Xylia saw that killer glare flash in his eyes.
It was just like Joshua before he lost his memory.
She couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You used to want to rip Connor to shreds, too,” she teased.
Joshua didn’t say anything, just brooded in silence.
Xylia decided to change the subject. “Alright, what’s done is done. Let’s look ahead to the future.”
As she spoke, she grabbed a piece of fish and dropped it onto Joshua’s plate.
“Come on, eat up. Once you’re done, I’ll take you hiking,” she said.
‘Hiking?‘ Joshua thought, a little thrown off.
Xylia had definitely managed to distract him.
“You’re taking me hiking?” Joshua asked, his face full of confusion.

Sure, he could walk just fine now, but with his legs only recently recovered, hiking up a mountain sounded like a whole different challenge.
Xylia grinned at him, clearly catching on to his worries, but she couldn’t help messing with him a little. She nodded on purpose, just to tease him.
“Yep, hiking it is,” she said.
Joshua looked at her, opened his mouth to say something, then thought better of it.
In the end, he just nodded and let her have her way, staying silent.
When Xylia drove them all the way up the mountain, Joshua realized her idea of hiking was totally different from what he’d expected.
He gave her a pitiful look, which only made Xylia burst out laughing.
The sunset cast a radiant glow over Xylia’s lively little face.
She looked so soft, so alive.
Joshua froze, a memory flashed in his mind.
In that memory, Xylia was smiling just like this, her whole face lit up by the orange glow of the sunset–so beautiful it

When Sonny and Chloe got back to the Ford family villa, Sonny was still fuming.

Sonny was still fuming.
Chloe trailed behind him, totally baffled about what she’d done wrong.
She just thought Sonny was really naive.
E55 Vouchere!
Even after his own mom treated him like crap, he was still desperately sticking up for her, going out of his way for that cold- hearted mom–even if it meant treating Chloe like dirt.
Thinking about how she’d been bending over backwards for Sonny lately, Chloe just felt like a total fool.
All that effort–she felt like she was the punchline of a bad joke.
As soon as Sonny walked into the living room, he went straight up to Connor.
‘Dad. I don’t want Ms. Chloe as my tutor anymore. Can you get me a new one?” Sonny said.
As soon as Sonny said that, Chloe just stood there, shocked.
she rushed over, panic written all over her face.
Sonny, what’s going on? Haven’t we been getting along? Why do you want to fire me as your tutor?” she blurted out.
Sonny glared up at her, his little face all scrunched up in anger.
Because you want to be my mom, and I hate anyone who wants to be my mom!” Sonny snapped.
After what happened with Tessa Schultz, Sonny became deeply wary of anyone who tried to play the mom role in his life.
He was downright hostile toward anyone who wanted to be his mother.
He used to like Chloe because she never tried to be his mom, but today, she finally crossed that line.
Anyone like that–he’d never accept them as his tutor again.
Hearing that made Chloe even more panicked.
She quickly turned to Connor.
