Chapter 561 Let’s Part on Good Terms

Chloe frowned and took a step back, trying to put some distance between them. However, Joseph

grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

He gazed down at her. "Will you come willingly, or do you need my help?"

Heaving a long sigh, Chloe's voice became light and helpless. "Please don't force me. Let's part on

good terms, okay?"

Joseph was infuriated by her suggestion. He pulled her out of the room without waiting for her

refusal. He did not even give her time to take her daily necessities and luggage.

Chloe struggled endlessly. On the one hand, she was reluctant to go back with Joseph. On the

other hand, she was afraid of hurting her baby, so she did not dare to exert herself. Hence, her

struggles were nothing but mere scratches to him, posing no danger.

Joseph forcefully took her back to the villa.

"Stay here and reflect on what you’ve done. Give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

He slammed the door shut and locked Chloe in the bedroom. Incredulity arose within her as she

tried to turn the door knob but it was futile. He had locked it from outside. She trembled as

disappointment dawned on her pale face.

'Will he continue to keep me here if I don't yield tomorrow…'

Downstairs, Joseph was ill at ease. He nestled into the sofa, looking particularly pitiful. It was as if

he was the innocent person who was driven out by his wife.

They both had a sleepless night.

At six in the morning, Joseph opened the door of the bedroom and looked at Chloe, who had woken

up at some point. He said lightly, "Think before you speak."

Dark circles were evident underneath Chloe's eyes. She looked like a broken doll. Exhaustion was

written all over her face, but she said stubbornly, "I won't change my mind. We can't be together

since Xavia is between us."

She had no way to change this fact, and the child was innocent.

This was clearly not the answer Joseph wanted to hear after staying up all night. He looked at her

condescendingly and frowned. "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to force Xavia to

abort the child? Do you want me to kill my child? Is that what you want to see?"

Speechlessness came over her. For a long time, she did not know what to say.

"Do you think I'm such a wicked woman?"

Though she hated Xavia, she knew that the child did not choose their birth. The grudges between

them did not concern an unborn baby. It was such an easily understood issue. Any honorable

person would never harm the innocent.

When Joseph saw her sad eyes, he averted his gaze. "Fine. I'll wait until you've reflected on your

mistake properly." He closed the door again.

Chloe had long foreseen this, but a wave of cold still hit her.

Another day passed.

A helper delivered food to Chloe. She had no appetite but her baby needed sustenance, so she

forced herself to eat. Her phone had been confiscated, and she was on the second floor. There

were no other exits.

Her only contact with the outside world was a laptop. There was a password, so she could not turn

it on. After trying countless times, it was unlocked. It was not Joseph's birthday or the date he took

over Fairlight. It was also not Xavia's information either. The password was simply 123456...

She turned on the laptop, but she needed phone verification to log into her WhatsApp.

She also needed her phone if she wanted to use any other social media platforms.
