Chapter 502 Calming Green Tea
A stalemate ensued. Chloe could no longer hear Joseph’s retorts. Subconsciously, she was enlightened-Edgar had
been telling the truth.
“What are you waiting for, Lucas?” Gloominess spread through Joseph’s eyes, his whole body exuding a cold aura.
“Drag this madman out!”
Noticing that he had achieved his goal, Edgar sneered and left without any prompting from Lucas. The latter did not
dare to linger either. He gently closed the door and hurriedly left the
Warzone.
Joseph wanted to take Chloe’s hand but the latter shifted her body and dodged him.
He said helplessly, “That was all in the past. Just let it go.”
“But Xavia is still in our lives right now. She’s not the past.”
Chloe was irritated by the fact that Xavia would appear from time to time. She felt that Noah was right. A love affair

“She’ll become part of the past once she has given birth to the child.”
Chloe stared straight at him. “Will her child become a part of the past too?”
“We’ve already reached a consensus on that. Don’t bring the child into the problem.”
“Did
you never stop to think that Xavia will come to mind when I see the child she births?”
Annoyance dawned on Joseph’s face. He should have gone with Chloe to Docwood for the advertisement shoot.
This mess would never have happened then.
He lit a cigarette, and his handsome face could be vaguely seen through the smoke. Chloe could not discern his
expression.
They looked at each other but had nothing to say.
Suddenly, a sense of disgust hit Chloe. Though she tried her best to suppress it, she knew she would never be able
to tolerate this child. She yearned to be with Joseph forever and to stay with him during his most difficult times. If
everything broke down and he became poor and powerless, she would still accept him, but she could not accept
him having a child with another woman.
“You’re hungry, aren’t you? What would you like to eat? I’ll have Lucas get us some.” Joseph broke the silence.
“What’s going on between you and Grandpa? Is it some kind of act?” Chloe ignored his question and raised her
doubts instead.
After a pause, he said calmly, “I can’t tell you about it, and I hope that you won’t meddle in it
either. I can handle it on my own.”
Chloe took a deep breath. “Why can’t you tell me?”
“There are too many unknown dangers.”
“Okay, I’ll talk about something else then. What that man said, was it true?”
If Gabriel had not exposed Xavia, Joseph might be treating her much better right now. Maybe Chloe would not even
be in the picture.
It was reasonable. The image and temper Xavia crafted were in line with the standards of first love men yearned

Joseph became slightly impatient. “That happened a few years ago. You have an ex too. Even if I have a child with
Xavia, you’re the woman I love.”
Chloe laughed. “So do I have to thank you for that?”
“Can you please stop messing around?” Joseph rubbed his temples in deep frustration.
“Am I? Is it messing around when I ask you about one thing?” Her face flushed from anger. You’re the guilty one
here. You can’t condemn me and say that I’m messing around. Was sleeping with another woman the right thing
for you to do?”
She brought up the past endlessly. It was not like he had done something wrong now.
“Joseph, you’re a fucking bastard!” Chloe could no longer take it, running out the door and slamming it shut behind
her.
The door clanged against the frame loudly as if it was the effects of an earthquake. Joseph’s lips twitched, noticing
for the first time how strong she was.
Lucas came in with a cup of green tea. “Sir, please have some tea to soothe your nerves. I’m sure Ms. Chloe hasn’t
gone far.”
