Chapter 379 Wild Beast

“All right, all right. Let’s discuss this later when we get back,” Tyson intervened, urging everyone to

board the helicopter. “After all, we’re in the middle of the wilderness. It won’t be good if we run into

some wild beasts.”

Joseph clenched his jaw, resisting the impulse to embrace Chloe, and chose to remain silent as he

turned toward the plane cabin.

After providing statements and receiving basic first aid, the medical staff reassured them that their

injuries were superficial and not serious. Upon hearing those words, Joseph felt a wave of relief wash

over him. However, due to the anesthesia injection, they needed to undergo a blood test. The police left

their contact information to notify them of the results tomorrow.

Tyson cleared his throat and said, “I’ll accompany Mr. Noah. Joseph, you take Chloe to our family

home and ensure that Mr. Harold is informed about her safety. He’s been extremely

worried.”

Chloe was stunned. “Grandpa knows too? But his condition…”

Tyson replied, “That’s why you need to inform him to put his mind at ease.”

Chloe nodded solemnly, and Noah could not resist sneering.

‘Reporting her safety? It’s more like creating an opportunity for them to be together.‘

However, he refrained from voicing any objections. After all, he had no right to interfere in Chloe’s

personal matters now, and poking his nose into something he should not care about would not do him

any good.

At the Whitman family home, Patrick looked bewildered at Chloe. “Ms. Chloe, what happened to you?

You look so disheveled…‘

Her brows furrowed. “Don’t tell me Grandpa is unaware of everything?”

Patrick became even more confused. “Unaware of what?”

“Joseph, you lied to me!”

“The one who lied to you was Tyson, not me.”

“But you didn’t stop me!”

Joseph nonchalantly placed his hands in his pockets, his profile exuding a cool demeanor.” You

yourself wanted to come here. Why would I stop you?”

Patrick thought they were bantering and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

Chloe smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. “Are you intentionally trying to keep me here for the

night?”

Joseph raised an eyebrow playfully, his large hand landing on her pert bottom without warning and

slapping it. “Yes. Freshen up and come to my bedroom. Understood?”

Chloe was taken aback, her face flushing so red it appeared as if blood would drip from it.” You, you,

you… You’re shameless!”

“You were the one who asked first.” Joseph closed the distance between them, calmly gazing into her

eyes. “It’s only natural for men and women to enjoy each other’s company. How can

that be considered shameless?”

Gritting her teeth, Chloe retorted, “Go away!”

“Tsk, is that how you treat the one who saved your life?”

She was stunned. “That helicopter earlier… It was yours?”

“How could the police have arrived so quickly otherwise?”

Chloe fell silent, and a warm feeling welled up inside her. If the police had arrived ten minutes later, she

did not dare to imagine what would have happened to her and Noah. Joseph might have a sharp

tongue, but he always came to her rescue whenever she was in trouble.

Her tone softened significantly. “Thank you. I’ll do my best to help you obtain the note.”

“That’s a different matter.” Joseph gestured toward the bathroom, his thin lips curling up. I’ll be waiting

for you.”

Chloe rolled her eyes and ignored him.

IT

There were still clothes for her to change into at the family house. To be honest, she had always held

indescribable feelings toward the Whitmans. However, she could not deny the fact. that the Whitmans

had helped her a lot.

She deliberately bided her time. When she was confident that Joseph had fallen asleep, she cautiously

made her way to the bathroom. After a whole day spent outside, her body was soaked with sweat, and

she could not bear not taking a shower.

Feeling utterly exhausted, she quickly rinsed herself off and grabbed a towel to dry her hair. However,

as soon as Chloe opened the bathroom door, she found Joseph standing at the entrance, his eyes

filled with a deep desire.

Her complexion was fair and porcelain–like as it gleamed under the light, while her cheeks. glistened

with tiny droplets of water. Her alluring lips were gently parted as if tempting someone to savor their

taste. She exuded a mesmerizing aura, casting a radiant glow that filled the entire hallway.

“You were really waiting for me???” she asked incredulously.

He gulped hard and replied, “I came out to get some water.‘

Chloe noticed the cup in his hand and let out a sigh of relief. “Oh, then go to bed early…mmm!”

Joseph suddenly grasped the back of her head and forcefully kissed her lips, causing her to

swallow the remainder of her words into the pit of her stomach.
