Chapter 165 She’s Special

Chloe raised such a bizarre question.

In the dark, a tinge of uneasiness crept onto Joseph’s face. “Depends on how you behave.” “Oooh…”

Chloe drew in a cold breath and blurted out, “Have you fallen in love with me?”

She could not fathom any other reason for Joseph to give up his body other than this possibility.

Feeling stunned, Joseph retorted subconsciously, “No.”

He just wanted to give her a chance.

“Why did you suddenly agree to let me get close to you then?”

“Shut up. Just sleep!”

Chloe was struck speechless.

For the first time, they were comfortable while hugging each other and were sleeping together in the

same bed for the first time.

Due to how tired she was, Chloe soon drifted off to sleep. However, she moved around a lot. She even

pounced on Joseph like a bear and rubbed against him from time to time until he was aroused.

Joseph fixed his fervent gaze on her, who was sleeping soundly. After some inward struggles, he took

a deep breath and pushed her out of his arms.

He even placed a bolster between them.

The next morning, the space beside Chloe was vacant when she woke up. Besides, a bolster had.

appeared out of nowhere.

‘Does he despise me? But if that was the case, why did he hug me and say those things the previous

night?’

Chloe could not figure it out. So, she simply stopped dwelling on it and went to wash that, she went

downstairs. She had a good rest, so she felt energetic. Her face was rosy too.

On the contrary, Joseph had dark circles under his eyes.

Harold, who was playing with a bird on the first floor, smiled in satisfaction when he saw this. He felt

that his grandson was indeed powerful.

“This brat must have gone at it all night.’

Chloe was unaware of Harold’s thoughts. She accepted a glass of hot milk from Winnie.

“Grandpa, have you had breakfast?”

“Yes, I have. You guys should eat to nourish your body.”

“Pfft!”

When Chloe heard that, she recalled the oatmeal from last night and accidentally spurted out

the milk.

Joseph, who was passing by, grabbed a tissue and handed it to her. He said disdainfully, ”

You’re such a mess.”

She said shyly, “Sorry.”

“Why did you criticize her? Have you never choked on your drink before?” Harold glared at Joseph in

displeasure.

Chloe quickly scoffed down a bun to avoid a fight between them in the early morning. Grandpa, Jojo

and I will be going to work now.”

“Okay, be careful.”

“Okay, I’ll come and visit you again sometime.”

In the car.

Lucas noticed Joseph’s dark circles through the rear-view mirror. “Sir, should I postpone the morning

meeting to the afternoon? You don’t seem well.”

“No, just do as usual.”

“Okay.”

Joseph closed his eyes to rest. Chloe peeked at him out of the corner of her eye and asked as if she

was unconcerned, “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

“You even have the nerve to ask.”

She pouted. “What did I do? I don’t snore, talk in my sleep, or grind my teeth while I sleep.”

Joseph opened his eyes and stared at her gloomily. “Your limbs are wild.”

Chloe blinked repeatedly. “Did I do something to you after I dozed off?”

Joseph raised his chin slightly and asked, “What do you think happened?”

She had hugged him like a koala and refused to let go. However, her body was soft, so it was

comfortable hugging her.

“Umm…” She touched her nose awkwardly. “It’s because you’re very handsome, so I couldn’t hold

myself back in my dream.”

“I’m glad you know that. How are you going to make it up to me?”

After a pause, Chloe replied, “I’ll treat you to seafood at The Seaside Market! I know you love that

place.”

Joseph was struck speechless. ‘I’m the CEO of Fairlight, but does that mean I like the seafood there?’

He just did not want her to spend so much the other day.

“This woman really is a dummy.’

“It’s my birthday tomorrow. Do you plan on getting me a gift?”

Lucas gaped in shock.

‘Mr. Joseph never celebrates his birthday. He’s the one who forbade others from celebrating it for him.

He finds it meddlesome and a waste of time.

‘Ms. Chloe is indeed special to him…’
