Chapter 232 Are You Going to Lock Me Up Again?
Joseph’s brow furrowed, his voice laced with frustration as he asked, “I’ve already decided to forgive
you, so what trouble are you stirring up again?”
Upon-hearing the word “again,” Chloe chuckled She turned around, her eyes shining brightly as they
locked onto Joseph. “What do you mean, again? What did I do? Did I cheat on you or commit some
unforgivable sin?”

managed to return to her bedroom in one piece. She flopped onto the bed, letting out a sigh of relief.
She was terrified, absolutely terrified Thankfully, Joseph did not lose his
temper.
She had finally stood up for herself. Next time, she would strive to do even better!
This time, she was confined for one night, but next time it could be a whole month. She could not
let Joseph think that she was a pushover.
Meanwhile, she realized that she had recovered a lot from her cold. She had not even taken any cold
medicine, so she wondered how. Could it be that her immunity had grown stronger?
Chloe stayed in her bedroom for a while, and then Joseph knocked on the door.
“What do you want? Are you going to lock me up again?” Her voice was cold, but her ears perked

There was a moment of silence outside the door. “My grandpa wants us to go to the family home for
dinner. There’s a party tonight.”
Chloe pressed her lips together and said, “But I need to go to the office to make some revisions to
some documents. It’ll take about half an hour.”
“Is your cold any better?”
“I felt much better once I returned to my bedroom.”
“Get ready to go to the family house.”

“What about my work?”
“We’ll stop by the office on the way and you can pick up your laptop.”
Chloe finished her morning routine and rummaged through the wardrobe, selecting an outfit from the
clothes Joseph had bought for her before. She opted for a knee-length skirt that struck the perfect
balance between sophistication and modesty.

When she came downstairs, she found Joseph already waiting for her in the car. As she passed by the

‘Joseph’s not in the habit of buying breakfast from outside…’
Chloe did not question it because she already had an answer in her heart.
During the journey, she did not initiate any conversation with Joseph. The car quickly arrived at the
underground parking lot of Fairlight. The on-duty security guard stepped outside to catch some fresh

The security guard paused, realizing that Chloe was an employee of Fairlight..
He smiled and said, “Miss, are you hitching a ride?”

“Umm…” Chloe’s face showed a hint of discomfort as she replied, discreetly poking Joseph, urging him
to hurry up and leave.
Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly, his intense gaze sweeping over her guilt-ridden face. The corners of
his mouth curled into a wicked smile and said, “She’s not hitching a ride.”
The security was stunned. “Huh?”
“She’s my wife. Can you call that hitching a ride?”
