Chapter 146 How Did It Suddenly Turn Out Like This?

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

“Coming,” she replied.

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.”

His sarcastic and petty comment eased some of the sourness in Chloe’s heart. Being liked by Joseph was not something to be desired. She could not believe she had felt upset about

becoming his backup plan.

She had fallen for Jane’s trap.

“I was just tired and wanted to rest for a while. You can’t be that hungry, can you?”

“Your attitude is a problem,” Joseph said, grabbing Chloe’s shoulder and forcing her to look at him. “What did Jane say to you?” He clearly sensed that something was off with her ever since Jane’s departure.

Chloe hesitated to address the issue, but since he brought it up, she seized the chance to sarcastically taunt him, “It’s not a big deal, honestly.”

Pausing for a moment, she cast a quick glance at him before continuing, “She just mentioned your first love.”

Joseph furrowed his brow, “First love?”

“Yeah. Xavia.”
