Chloe's tears came flowing as she saw both of them rushing over as if a switch for the waterworks could just be turned on whenever she pleased.

"Josiah, I only brought Anne here for some desserts, but Miss Reid wouldn't let me touch her. She even hit me. This is outrageous!"

I pursed my lips as I looked at her, my anger yet to subside. "Chloe, if you like pretending so much, I don't mind slapping you again. You really think you're all that just because you're pregnant. If you like being a pain, I don't mind returning the favor."

Anne nodded, then handed over the sweet treat in her hand to Hendrix and said softly, "Mr. Roberts, let's go home. Mommy's upset."

Hendrix's eyes were fixed on me the entire time. Despite not saying a single word, his eyes were dark as he observed everything that unfolded.

It was obvious that Josiah wasn't that concerned about how emotional Chloe was. He was completely focused on Anne, trying to talk to her the entire time until we left the restaurant.
