Chloe jolted from her daydream and swiftly closed the web browser with a guilty conscience.

On the first floor in the living room, Joseph had also changed into his home attire. His navy blue long-sleeved shirt and long pants softened his demeanor, making him appear less distant and more approachable. However, his scrutinizing gaze in his eyes seemed unfriendly.

“What were you doing holed up in your room?” he inquired.

“I was just changing,” Chloe replied, her gaze on his clear but distant face. She recalled Jane’s remarks, but she suppressed the sudden surge of sourness and kept a composed smile. ” Different rules for the mighty, right?”

Chloe and Joseph shared something in common. Upon returning home, they would change, taking off the ones they had worn outside for the day. Wearing outside clothes indoors felt unclean to them.

Joseph smirked and responded, “It only takes five minutes to change. You’ve been in there for forty-two minutes.”

Joseph furrowed his brow, “First love?”

“Yeah. Xavia.”
