Chapter 478 You’re Quite Daring

Their intimate connection lasted for a long moment with them moving from the bean bag to the bed. Only when

the atmosphere around them was fully charged with their desire did Chloe weakly push Joseph away.

“Where have you been all day?”

“I went to Cloude with Tyson. We found the guy who leaked your photos. All of them have been destroyed,” Joseph

replied.

Chloe was stunned. “Who was it?”

“He’s with that masked woman, but he’s just a low-ranking lackey who doesn’t know much.”

Pressing her lips together tightly, Chloe fixed her gaze on him and asked, “Why did you help me if you were mad at

me?”

“Are those two things contradictory?” Joseph shot back.

“Then why did you lock me in?” she asked, her frown deepening.

“I locked you up so that you could reflect on your mistakes. When faced with a problem, why didn’t you tell me

immediately? As your husband, it’s my responsibility to help you overcome any difficulties and protect you,” Joseph

said with a displeased squint. “You not only deceived me but also colluded with Tyson. You’re quite daring, Chloe

Johnson.”

Chloe was slightly taken aback. “That’s what you’re angry about? Not because of the photos with Icarus?”

“What do you think?” Joseph threw the question back at her.

There were few men in the world who would not be angered by the sight of their wives embracing another man in

their underwear. At least, he was not one of them. If possible, he wanted to skin that masked woman alive.

The bedroom fell into a hushed silence. Chloe looked at the man before her, feeling a warmth spread through her

heart. She was not ungrateful. Now that she understood the cause of his anger and the misunderstanding was

cleared, she embraced him.

“I promise I’ll tell you right away if something happens next time,” she said.

“There won’t be a next time,” Joseph said through gritted teeth. One Icarus was enough to irritate him.

“I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee the masked woman won’t come after me again,” she replied. She could not

help but wonder who exactly the masked woman was. Why was that woman always coming after her?

Joseph furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing her words. “I’ll get you a new bodyguard,” he said.

“I think Abigail does a great job. Let’s wait until she’s discharged from the hospital,” Chloe replied.

“Fine. Until then, I’ll personally pick you up from work and drop you off,” he said.

“Okay. Do you have any impression of the woman? She can’t be targeting us without any reason,” she asked.

Joseph did not give a direct response and replied in a deep voice, “I’m not sure at the moment.

Chloe thought it might be related to business matters and did not press on the matter.

The following day marked the grand opening of Fairlight and Exotic Star’s jointly opened resort. Joseph felt that

much had transpired lately and decided it was the perfect time to take Chloe on a vacation. They settled on the

schedule and planned to head to the resort that evening, intending to stay for two days and one night.

However, at six in the evening, an issue arose with Fairlight’s new project, demanding Joseph’s immediate attention.

He instructed Lucas to accompany Chloe to the resort first. She agreed and returned home to pack for their trip.

In the middle of her packing, Chloe received a series of urgent messages from Emily.

[My mom’s forcing me to go on a blind date!]

[I don’t want to go!]

[How do I refuse her?!]

[I heard the man is a teacher, and I’ve been afraid of teachers since I was a kid. I don’t want to relive my fear

again!]

[I’ve tried everything, but my mom just won’t compromise. Help me!]

Chloe replied: [The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on.]

Emily: (You’re the worst!]

Chloe: [Bring him to the resort. I’ll accompany you on the blind date.]

She was about to spend two days and one night with Joseph, essentially having at least twenty- four hours together.

Chloe was anxious that he might discover her pregnancy. To create a cover, she invited Emily to join them.

At eight in the evening, the resort bustled with activity. Its opening day was a booming success.

Lucas guided Chloe and Emily to a private room in the restaurant. The man Emily was going to meet was named

Rob Jude, a man in his thirties. Upon noticing Emily accompanied by Chloe, he politely handed them the menu and

said, “Order whatever you like. It’s my treat.”

Emily had not eaten yet, so she ordered some food for herself.

“Given that we’re here on a blind date, let’s be straightforward with each other,” Rob began.

“Sure.”

“I’m the only child of my family. If we get married, you have to give me a son. Once the child is born, you can quit

your job and stay at home to take care of the children and elders. I’ll support you financially.”

Chloe chuckled. “How much is your monthly salary?”

“Three grand. I’m a public school teacher, and there are many hidden perks that come with the job,” Rob replied,

his words laced with a sense of superiority.

Outside the door, Lucas’ mouth twitched.

“Three grand per month? Even a nanny earns more than that! And he expects to find someone who will bear him

children, cook, take care of his parents, and, on top of it all, be his companion in bed? Emily must be out of her

mind to agree to a blind date with this man. He’s even worse than me,’ Lucas chided inwardly.
