Chapter 401 I Trust You Very Much
Chloe blinked. “Are you heading to Fairlight too?”
“Yeah, it’s not out of the way. Don’t be shy. Although you and Joe are separated, we’re still friends.”
Chloe nodded. “I shall accept your offer then. I’ll tip you if your service is good, Mr. Nathan.”
“All right. Buckle in and let’s be on our journey.”
‘Be on our journey? That was strange.”
“Why do you want to see Joe?” Nathan winked at her. “Do you miss him?”
“Do I miss a married man with a child?” she teased and laughed at herself.
“He hasn’t married Xavia up till now.”
“It doesn’t mean that they won’t get married in the future.”
“No,” Nathan muttered, “I don’t think Joe will marry her.”
Gabriel had told them about Xavia’s past. Naturally, she did not have the right to be a part of the Whitman family considering her circumstances.
Chloe tilted her head to look at him. “But Xavia told me that they’re getting married soon and that Joseph wants to give her a grand and romantic wedding.”
“Do you believe whatever she says?” Nathan’s gaze was weird. “It’s just a trick to compete against you for Joe’s favor.”
The women around him always lied through their teeth to gain his favor. He had long gotten used to such tricks. However, Chloe would not discover it that easily because she was in the midst of it.
Chloe narrowed her pretty eyes slightly. “Are you telling the truth? Won’t Joseph marry Xavia after she gives birth to the child?”
“Yes, I’m sure. Otherwise, why haven’t I heard about my buddy’s upcoming nuptials?”
“Why?”
Chloe may dislike Xavia, but Xavia would give Joseph a child. Naturally, he had to marry Xavia because of the child. 1
Nathan did not want to gossip about Xavia’s past because it was immoral and changed the topic. He smiled and asked, “Why do you ask so many questions about this? You haven’t forgotten about -Joe, have you?”
“No, that’s not true.” Chloe turned aside and refused to admit to it.
Nathan was struck speechless.
The two people who never spoke their minds got together.
Soon they arrived at Fairlight. The moment Chloe entered the office, she saw Joseph on a video
conference. His delicate and impeccable face, coupled with his magnetic voice while he was talking in Estrenian, helped to set off his charms. That kind of person was a born hero.
Chloe averted her gaze and sat on the sofa calmly. She waited until he finished his work. Nathan was sensible enough to not disturb him either.
Joseph’s gaze lingered on the computer screen, but out of the corner of his eye, he was observing someone. After more than ten minutes, the video conference came to an early end.
Nathan tilted his chin at Chloe to ask her to talk about her affairs first.
“I brought the fruit knife that was used to hurt Toto to an organization for fingerprint testing This is the result Chloe handed Joseph a folder Her voice was clear, and her words were well- organized “There’s a set of fingerprints belonging to another person on it other than the medical staff If there’s no unforeseen issue, that’s our culprit.”
Joseph looked up and glanced at the folder. He then said lightly, “Do you want me to send the results to Tyson for further investigation?”
“Yes”
“Sure.”
“I didn’t hurt Toto.” Chloe looked into his eyes with a stubborn expression “You’re wrong to accuse
me.”
It felt bad to be wrongly accused, let alone by someone she had once loved. She worried about Toto as much as Joseph.
“When did I ever say that you were the one who did it?” Joseph asked in answer.
“Don’t you always think I’m the culprit?”
“I trust you very much in this aspect.”
Joseph could see how nice Chloe was to Toto. She would never do such an immoral thing.
Chloe was stunned before she suppressed the grievance in her heart. She asked out of spite, “You trust me? Then why did you not ask me about it?
