Chapter 211

Vincent widened his eyes, gazing at the exceptionally good-looking couple, as if they were a pair of

match-made individuals.

At first glance, this sentence might seem ordinary, but when combined with Joseph’s surprised, drawn-

out gaze and husky voice, Vincent couldn’t help but sense the sour aroma of love within the words.

Hmm, that’s not right.

Being in love carries a sourness, while unrequited love simply reeks!

Vincent regretted not having his phone with him, so he could capture Joseph’s expression right now

and tease him relentlessly, making him see how pathetic he appeared.

“Moreover, you really have no memory.”

Joseph frowned, anger flashing in his starry eyes, “I told you not to get any ideas about Annie. You

insisted on recklessly testing the waters in our territory. I slapped you three times. Do you feel

wronged?”

“I actually think I didn’t hit you enough. I should see you once and hit you once.”

Both of us…?

Chloe felt a strange sensation welling up in her heart, finding Joseph’s attempts to get close

uncomfortable.

In the past, he had avoided her like the plague, as if any connection to her would bring misfortune to

his life.

“Mr. Sawle, mind your words. You are you, and I am me. Don’t mix us up.”

Chloe coldly threw out these words and walked briskly towards the bedroom. “Otherwise, I’d feel

insulted by my own ears.”

Joseph was left awkwardly silent, his lips pursed.

“Haha, it looks like your attempt at getting close failed, right? Well done!”

Vincent gloated with a wide grin. Seeing Joseph’s defeat, he felt an inner satisfaction.

However, in the next moment-

“Ugh!”

Joseph clenched his teeth and unexpectedly punched Vincent in his well-defined abdominal muscles,

causing him excruciating pain.

Chloe hurried into the bedroom.

In just a few steps, she had imagined countless terrifying scenarios, and she was afraid that the

moment she opened the door, she would see something unbearable.

If, as she suspected, tonight Vincent had to pay the price!

Even Joseph couldn’t protect him!

“Annie!”

As Chloe rushed into the room, she suddenly froze.

The room was tranquil, and the disarray she had imagined had not occurred.

A warm, sweet fragrance lingered in the air, and a soft, gentle light illuminated Annie’s peacefully

sleeping face. The scene was heartbreakingly beautiful.

Chloe walked softly to the bedside, knelt on one knee, and gently caressed her warm cheek.

Seeing the little teddy bear she held tightly in her arms, something pressed heavily on Chloe’s chest,

making her breathing

shallow.

Her eyes filled with tears.

The fearless heiress who laughed in the face of danger, the one who could handle any situation with a

sense of humor, was unable to bear such a sight.

At that moment, Joseph entered the room and witnessed this scene.

His broad shoulders trembled, and his throat choked up.

Chloe heard his footsteps, felt flustered, and quickly wiped her eyes with her hand.

The room fell silent.

Joseph’s throat constricted as he raised his hand to touch her damp hair.

“Dry it, it’s cold outside. If you catch a cold from the wind, it will be troublesome.”

“I don’t need your help.”

Chloe hastily stood up, intending to avoid any inappropriate contact with him.

Joseph’s chest was filled with a mix of emotions, and he nervously clenched his fingers.

What was he doing? He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand his own actions, and he was

losing sight of himself.

“Vincent didn’t do anything to Annie, so you can relax. Although he’s a bit reckless, Annie is my sister,

and he knows that.”

“Right now, maybe, but who knows about the future? Men’s words and their lower half aren’t

trustworthy.” Chloe’s brows were icy and unwavering.

Joseph knew she was upset, and saying more wouldn’t help, so he turned and headed for the

bathroom.

A few seconds later, he returned, draping a towel over her head.

“Dry yourself off.”

“I said, you don’t need to-”

Before she could finish her sentence, his hands pressed on the towel and he continued to dry her hair.

Chloe was stunned, her heart suddenly in disarray.

Was this still Joseph?

Or was this the same Joseph who had never even poured a glass of water for her?

How could he possibly do this for her?!

It was so surreal in the middle of the night!

“Take your hands away!” she hissed through clenched teeth, surprising Annie.

The girl’s body curled slightly in her blanket, but she didn’t wake up.

“Aren’t you afraid of waking up Annie? Speak louder.” Joseph smirked, his hands still working to

capture her vulnerability.

“Then be more gentle! My hair has been falling out a lot recently, and you’re making it worse!” Chloe

frowned, her cheeks reddening with anger.

“Sorry, it’s my first time doing this. I lack experience…”

Joseph felt a warm flow in his heart for some inexplicable reason. He relaxed his fingers and gently

massaged her scalp through the towel. “It’ll be better next time.”

Chloe shivered and felt a chill down her spine, retorting, “Joseph, this time, I spared your dignity for

Annie’s sake.”

“If there’s a next time, be prepared to lose a limb!”

Joseph chuckled, his ten fingers gently and systematically massaging her scalp.

Chloe instantly felt her tightly-wound nerves relaxing, her beautiful eyes half-closed.

Damn it, how could this man be so skilled? It was too comfortable….

Both of them emerged from the room, and Chloe appeared as if she had just cried, her eyes slightly

red.

Joseph’s gaze remained on her, enigmatic and unclear.

Vincent blinked and looked at them, momentarily feeling as if they had never divorced, as if they were

still a pair of heavenly and devoted spouses.

His brother was incredibly handsome, and besides Chloe, he couldn’t think of any other woman worthy

of Joseph.

“Vincent, you should go back for now. Annie will stay here tonight.”

Joseph said with a faint tone, “Going back and forth will be more troublesome. I’ll personally take her

back tomorrow morning when she wakes up.”

“Then I won’t leave tonight. I’ll stay here with Daisy!”

Vincent remembered that he had kissed Annie while she was drunk tonight. Even though a kiss

couldn’t lead to pregnancy, he felt guilty about taking advantage of his good friend’s sister, so he

decided to stay and take care of her.

“No!” the former couple objected in unison.

“Miss!”

Jordan took a call and hurriedly walked into the room. “The head of security just reported that a

helicopter has landed on the hotel rooftop. They don’t know whose it is.”

“A helicopter?”

“It’s mine.” Joseph admitted.

Chloe, Jordan: ?!

“Miss Thorp, left for a business trip to the Larkos city yesterday. Just one word from Miss Thorp, and

Mr. Sawle personally flew back in a helicopter.”

“Chloe, my boss has never been so attentive to any woman!” Max, the secretary, chimed in.

He thought that Joseph was working so hard to win back his wife because he was too shy and

reserved to express his feelings.

As for Young Master Anderson, he was like a relentless and shameless sticky plaster. If only his boss

had half of that charm. Joseph’s heart constricted, and he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He

sternly told Max, “Max, that’s enough.”

“Haha, does Secretary Johnson’s comment mean you want me to praise your boss a bit?”

Chloe’s crimson lips curled coldly., “When a good person does something bad, it’s called revealing their

true nature. But when a bad person does something good, they’re called a prodigal returning home.”

Vincent covered his mouth, hu”

Joseph: “…”

“Annie is his sister. It’s only natural for him to rush back. It’s perfectly ordinary, there’s no need to boast

about it.”

She couldn’t be bothered with the boring banter between the master and servant, and walked straight

towards the door.

Jordan cast a sarcastic glance at Joseph, then followed Miss Thorp out of the room.

“Pah! Such narrow-mindedness!” Max cursed silently, thinking that Jordan was just a lackey who took

advantage of his position.

“But at least he knows what to say and what not to say.”

Joseph let out a sigh, shaking his head regretfully. “Max, you’re good at many things, but you talk too

much.”

“B-but I just wanted the young lady to know about your hardships…” Max mumbled, his ears drooping.

“I’ve always known about my hardships.”

Joseph said, and the moment the words left his mouth, his heart ached. All the little things Chloe had

done for him washed over him like a tidal wave.

Just as he had said, she had always known about his hardships.

But why, when she had loved him so deeply, was he so clueless, so ignorant?

Love and hate surged, and the debt of emotions was not easily repaid.
