Chapter 472 I Know
Chloe’s gaze lowered, torn between the desire to confide in Joseph and the fear of his potential anger. She knew
from past experiences that even innocent encounters with Icarus would infuriate him. Now, with those distasteful
photos circulating online, the thought of his reaction terrified her, and she could not bear to imagine it.
Nevertheless, she summoned a delicate smile and assured him, “I’m fine, really. Let’s just go ahead as planned.”
He looked at her seriously and said in a deep voice, “All right then.”
Clasping her hand with his, they strolled toward the parking area. As their fingers intertwined, he could not help but
notice how small and cold her hand felt compared to his. A frown appeared on his face as he tightened his grip,
allowing a comforting warmth to flow from his palm to hers, gradually thawing her icy fingers.
Joseph had made an appointment at the most prestigious bridal store in Aesper. The store manager was aware of
their visit and had rescheduled all other appointments. The whole staff team of the store was at their service.

countless diamonds that shimmered like stars. It featured an off-the- shoulder neckline that showcased her delicate
collarbones. The gown’s elegance and simplicity radiated an aura of grandeur and sanctity, perfectly befitting the
momentous occasion that awaited them.
The custom-made dress fit her perfectly, and as a gentle breeze wafted in, the gown’s hem billowed gracefully,
leaving Joseph entranced by the sight. An indescribable feeling welled up inside of him seeing his beloved woman
donning the wedding gown right before his eyes. It felt as if he was proclaiming to the whole world that she
belonged to him.
His eyes shimmered, and he said softly, “It’s perfect.”
Chloe loved the gown too and playfully blinked at him. “You have good taste.”
When it was close to 8 o’clock in the evening, they had completed one set of photographs. The store manager
asked, “If we go to the beach now and get some shots under the night sky, it’d look incredibly beautiful. Would you
like to give it a try?”
Chloe shook her head and declined, “No, thank you.”
She could not bear the thought of taking such a beautiful gown to the beach and possibly getting it wet. The mere
idea pained her heart.
The manager sighed, “You and Mr. Joseph make such a perfect couple. We haven’t photographed such a stunning
pair in a long time.”
Chloe blushed at the praise, her gaze turning to the dignified man beside her and her heart accelerating into a
gallop. She had always known that Joseph was handsome. Otherwise, she would not have noticed him at the bar
with just one glance. She had even completely overlooked exceptional individuals like Icarus.
One could only imagine how extraordinary Joseph’s looks were.
“It’s ok. If she doesn’t want that, we’re not taking it.” Joseph declined the manager’s offer, taking out his vibrating
phone and stepping aside to answer it.

fact that Joseph brought his wife here for their bridal shoot would be enough to earn him some boasting rights
among his peers.
“Sir, there’s something I need to discuss with you,” Lucas said on the other end of the phone.
“Make it snappy,” Joseph replied curtly.
Seeing Joseph on the phone, Chloe decided to head to the fitting room to change. When she came out of the fitting
room, he was still standing in the same spot. She walked up to him and held his arm.
“Let’s go,” she said.
Joseph glanced at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. “I know,” he said.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat.
“Know what?” she asked.
“The thing that you’ve been hiding from me.”
“How did you find out?” Her face froze. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just didn’t know how to explain it and
was afraid you wouldn’t believe me…”
