Chapter 61 You’re the Most Shameless Woman I’ve Ever Met
Joseph would always be there to save Chloe whenever she was in trouble.
If he did not have a bad temper and his tongue was not so sharp, she might actually have fallen for him. Even if he was impotent.
Joseph snorted coldly and haughtily turned his head, refusing to look at Chloe. “I just happen to be passing by. I don’t want other people to think my wife is open game.”
“What are you talking about? It’s not like I wanted to be popular.” Chloe pouted, feeling unjustly accused.
‘It’s not my fault that I’m talented and likable. He’s so unreasonable.’
“You’re the most shameless woman I’ve ever met,” Joseph commented in a sarcastic
tone
Although what Chloe said was not entirely wrong, he did not like her attitude. Even if someone confessed to her, she could have simply told them that she was married. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Only God knew how angry Joseph was when he saw her fooling around with another man in broad daylight. His temper flared, and his blood pressure rose.
“Don’t talk to me like that. I don’t want to be angry with you,” Chloe said, staring at Joseph seriously.
He might have helped her out of the predicament, but that did not give him the right to insult her.
Casting her a glance, Joseph did not say anything and walked into another private room.
Chloe took a few steps forward to see the number on the door.
‘Is he meeting someone here too? It really is a small world.’
Emily came out to look for Chloe as she had been gone for some time. When she saw Chloe staring blankly at the opposite private room, she asked, “What are you doing here?” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“My contractual husband is in there,” Chloe replied with a forced smile.
“What a coincidence,” Emily said.
“Yeah…” Chloe sighed.
“You two really are destined for one other,” Emily added.
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Chloe rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. “Peter just confessed to me earlier. Can you help me get my coat and tell our coursemates that I have something to attend to and have to leave early?”
“Oh, my God! I knew it!” Emily exclaimed.
She had noticed that the way Peter looked at Chloe was different back during their college days. At the time, they had joked that he would pursue her once she broke up with Jake.
It seemed that fate had indeed played a part.
Chloe did not know what to say and urged Emily to return to the private room to get her coat. She could not stand staying there any longer, so she flagged down a cab and left.
However, the cab broke down midway. Since the remaining distance was only a thirty- minute walk, she asked the driver to let her down and slowly made her way back.
Misfortunes never come singly. And that saying was spot on.
Chloe raised her hand to touch the raindrops on her cheeks. Just as she was about to curse out loud, the raindrops poured on top of her. Her clothes were instantly drenched. She did not have time to complain and had to quicken her pace to get home.
At Four Seasons, the organizers quickly noticed the subtle changes in Joseph’s expression as he repeatedly checked his phone. They exchanged knowing glances with their partners and decided to wrap up the evening’s festivities.
“Mr. Joseph, it’s raining outside. How about I get my assistant to give you a ride home? “one of the partners offered.
“Do you have an umbrella?” Joseph asked.
“Yes, I do,” the partner replied.
With an umbrella in hand, Joseph made his way to the private room where Chloe was. After hesitating at the door for a few moments, the door suddenly opened and Emily
came out.
Months ago,
she had caught a glimpse of Joseph’s stunning features back at the bar, which she still remembered vividly to this day. In her opinion, he was far more handsome than Jake’s uncle.
Looking at Joseph with a mixture of surprise and delight, Emily asked, “May I know who you’re looking for?”
