Chapter 547 Xavia’s Amniocentesis Takes Place Tomorrow

Joseph’s gaze swept over Xavia, then settled on Lucas. “You make a valid point. Let’s proceed with your suggestion.”

Xavia struggled to maintain her composure and forced a dry laugh. “Stop fooling around. We shouldn’t deceive the baby like this.” But all she received in response was Joseph’s indifferent demeanor and the sound of the door closing.

Her face instantly contorted with a mix of emotions, but her malicious expression quickly vanished. She handed the parenting book to Lucas. “I’ll have to trouble you tonight.”

“Are you serious?” Lucas was taken aback.

‘Is she really planning on going all out with this act?”

“If you’re the one telling the story, then I have no reason to stay. Let’s do a voice call when I get home. I want you to read the entire book,” Xavia said, her voice dripping with mockery.” I’ll indulge your penchant for talking too much.”

Lucas stood there dumbfounded, shaking the thick book in his hand. “You want me to pull an all-nighter for this?”

Xavia elegantly adjusted her scarf. “Simply finishing the book won’t be enough. I expect at remarkable performance that leaves me fully satisfied.” With that, she gracefully made her

exit.

Lucas tossed the parenting book aside, refusing to be manipulated by her tricks. He refused to believe that Xavia would complain to Joseph if he did not read it. And even if she did, Lucas. knew that he could rely on Chloe’s support. Chloe would stand by his side, and Joseph would ensure no punishment befell him.

He returned to his desk and resumed rearranging Joseph’s schedule for the following month when his phone rang.

Emily’s voice came through the line. “Where are you? Are you at the office or at home?”

“I’m at the office. What’s up?”

“Nothing much. I’m just helping Coco check on some things. By the way,” she chuckled, “Did that person with the last name Larson come to bother Joseph?”
