Chapter 455 Double-Standard Joseph

“I want to make it up to you. Let’s have a wedding. I won’t let you suffer the slightest grievance.”

What other women had, his woman should have it too. Not only that, but it should be the grandest and

most romantic wedding in the world.

Her heart quivered. “When did I ever mention marrying you?”

“Although we’re currently in a cooling-off period, I’m confident that we’ll reconcile. Once we reconcile,

the fake marriage we had before won’t count. And naturally, we’ll get married, have a wedding, and

host a party.”

Listening to these words, Chloe’s eyes shimmered like precious gems, and she could not help but

envision it. Every woman dreamt of wearing a wedding dress, and she was no exception.

“Alright, let’s go with what

go with what you said.”

She was going to follow her heart this time. Even if they were destined not to live together in the future,

at least she could say she was once his bride.

As Xavia came out with her ID card, she overheard Joseph and Chloe discussing taking wedding

photos. She had to make an effort to control herself from breaking the card in her hand. Taking a deep

breath, she calmed herself. “Joe, I have my ID. Let’s go.”

Joseph turned to look at her, his brows furrowing at the pungent smell. “What did my grandpa say?”

“He said I must ensure that every prenatal examination and amniocentesis is done at the hospital he

designated. He also mentioned some other things…” Xavia forced a smile. “But those are just the

teachings of elders…” She hinted at something, but Joseph ignored her.

“You know that’s just how Grandpa talks.”

“I do.”

“Uncle Joe!”

Ginny stood at the courtyard entrance with Natalie by her side, waving her little arms at Joseph. Earlier,

when Patrick came, they were afraid of being scolded and quickly ran away.

Upon seeing Ginny, Xavia’s face instantly contorted with anger, but she quickly regained her

composure and feigned surprise. “Joe, is that your cousin?”

“Yeah.”

“No wonder she’s just as aloof as you, I wanted to greet her earlier, but she threw a few stink

balloons at me. The smell on my body is all because of that,” she said, her tone carrying a hint of

helplessness mixed with a touch of grievance.

Joseph’s eyebrows shot up, and he squatted down to meet Ginny’s gaze. “Did you do that?”

“It was me, but it was an accident. Uncle Joe, I’m sorry,” Ginny said as she blinked her eyes innocently.

Joseph gently patted her head and turned to Xavia. “Children can be mischievous. A bath will wash

away the smell. There’s no need to make a fuss out of it.”

Xavia forced a smile. “I wasn’t blaming her.”

“Uncle Joe, give these stink bombs to Aunt Coco. If anyone bullies her, she can use the stink bombs to

blow them up.”

Joseph looked at the plastic balloons in her hand that would expand with just a squeeze, and coldly

refused, “No, you shouldn’t stop playing with these things.”

Xavia glanced at Natalie as if trying to say that Joseph still cared about her.

Natalie rolled her eyes in anger. ‘What a scheming bitch!’

“You can give her something else. These toys that rapidly inflate and explode through a chemical

reaction can be dangerous and could harm Chloe.”

As Joseph finished his sentence, Natalie’s face brightened, and she smiled like a blooming flower. He

told Xavia that a stink bomb was harmless and that she should not make a fuss out of it, but he

disallowed Ginny to give the stink bombs to Chloe because it might potentially injure her.

Natalie did not know that Joseph could be so double standard, and she liked it.

Although Ginny did not know why Natalie was smiling, she obediently agreed, “Okay, I’ll give Aunt

Coco my toys instead.”

‘So that she can kick away that bad woman with the toy!’
