Chapter 405 Cheating and Accident Are Different

At that moment, she yearned to hug Joseph. She wanted to embrace him and give him warmth. Chloe

extended her hands, but they stopped in mid-air. Their current identities prohibited them from having

such intimate gestures with each other. She then forced a bitter smile and decided to maintain some

distance from him.

Suddenly, Joseph caught her off guard and hugged her. He then leaned his chin on her shoulder and

said in exhaustion, “Let me lean on you for a while.”

Chloe pursed her lips and patted his back to console him. “Okay.”

They hugged each other. At the same time, their scents mixed together in an inexplicable harmony.

Chloe looked up at the moon in the sky. Since they were on the rooftop, the moon looked large and

round. It seemed near but far at the same time.

After taking a moment, Joseph regained his composure but did not let her go. He buried his face

against her neck and greedily took in her unique scent.

“Let’s stop arguing and get back together.”

He sounded aloof. Every word he uttered was light as if he was murmuring. His thin lips touched her

skin from time to time and it tickled.

Chloe shuddered. “What did you say…”

He held her face with both hands and leaned the tip of his nose against hers. He then repeated himself.

“Let’s get back together.”

Chloe pursed her red lips tightly. “Are you serious?”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

“I don’t want to because you cheated on me.”

She was bothered by what happened that night, so she was reluctant to forgive him.

“That’s an accident. Having an affair and an accident are two different things.”

“Was it an accident?”

Scumbags always made such statements when they made mistakes.

“I’m going to get Xavia to come over. We’ll confront each other face-to-face.” Chloe stared at his

passionate eyes as her heartbeat quickened. “What if you are conspiring with her to lie to me?”

Joseph pinched her ear and questioned with a smile, “Would it do her any good?”

“No, it doesn’t.”

“That’s fine then.”

“Aren’t you bothered by the fact that I mistook you for Icarus?”

“Life is short. Why should we argue over the past? People are bound to make mistakes. It’s fine as long

as your feelings for me are real.”

Chloe gaped in bewilderment. She never expected him to say such warm words since he was always

so aloof. It was indeed strange.

“How do you know that my feelings for you are real? You never trusted me.”

“Yes, you’re a little fickle. But isn’t my appearance and wealth superior to the useless Jake, Icarus who

tried to seek your sympathy, and also that young, inexperienced Noah?”

He had absolute confidence. As long as he turned around, he would still be the dumbo’s first choice.

Chloe’s lips twitched. “I’m not fickle. Don’t slander me.”

Joseph chuckled. “I’ll get Xavia to come.”

“Wait, I didn’t say yes,” she lamented, “Even if you don’t marry her, what do you plan to do with her

baby?”

“If it’s confirmed that the child is mine after the amniocentesis, I’ll bring the child into my family, Joseph

stated solemnly. He hoped that Chloe would be considerate toward him. “After all, the child is

innocent.”

“Yes, the child is innocent.” Chloe heaved a long sigh before she looked down at her belly with

complicated feelings.

He was right. Having an affair and an accident was different. If someone cheated on their partner, it

was immoral and unforgivable. However, accidents…were unavoidable.

Chloe’s mind became a mess. It might be because she could not forget about Joseph or she

yearned to know the truth of that night, so she agreed to let him call Xavia.
