Chapter 212 That’s Enough

As the night grew darker, the rain persisted without any sign of relenting. Chloe stood in the biting wind for two hours, her delicate face growing ever paler from the cold. She knew now that getting a ride was out of the question and began to move forward, struggling against the elements one step at a time. 1

“Sir, it seems like Ms. Chloe intends to walk back,” Lucas reported.

Joseph’s face darkened. ‘She would rather walk back than come back to me?’

“Follow her,” he commanded.

A deep sigh escaped Lucas’s lips. It was evident that Joseph and Chloe had feelings for each other, yet neither of them was willing to set their pride aside.

As the highway stretched toward Docwood, a bustling procession of vehicles hurried past, leaving behind trails of splashing water. In the middle of this commotion, a white sedan on the road. gradually decelerated, displaying an exceptional level of courtesy as it approached Chloe.

Chloe was oblivious to the car’s presence. Shivering uncontrollably from the cold, her once rosy lips had now turned a faint shade of purple. Eventually, the white car came to a halt beside her, and the occupant inside rolled down the window. A concerned young man peered at her with worry-filled eyes, his voice resonating clear and refreshing as he offered, “Do you need help? I can give you a ride to your destination.”

Chloe’s eyelashes were wet from the rainwater, softly brushing against her eyes and obscuring her vision. The young man before her appeared to be about the same age as Adam. He had fair skin and gentle features, resembling a rich young man from a prestigious family. Suddenly, a wave of irony washed over her. Even a stranger was worried about her, yet Joseph did nothing and just watched her walking in the rain.

Taking a deep breath, Chloe inhaled a gust of cold air, and she had not had a chance to refuse before a coughing fit took hold of her.

The concern in the young man’s eyes deepened as he said, “Get in. I’ll take you wherever you want to go. I’m a good person. There’s no need to be afraid.”
