Chapter 350 Unexpected Encounter With Xavia
Chloe took a deep breath, determined not to let anger consume her. “If you insist on giving it, then go
ahead.” She would just perform her part perfectly and play along with him. She would return the money
to him once Harold left.
The corner of Joseph’s mouth curled as he retrieved a black supplementary card from his wallet and
placed it on the bedside table. Chloe instantly recognized the card-it was the supplementary card he
had given her before. When she had moved out of the villa, she had returned the card to him.
There was no credit limit on this card, implying that as long as Joseph did not go bankrupt, she could
continue to use it. They had once lived under the same roof, and back then, she had not felt anything
odd about it. But now, using this supplementary card as divorce
compensation felt oddly strange.
Chloe parted her lips as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately, she remained silent. Joseph
assumed her silence was due to the staggering amount of money involved. His handsome eyebrows
arched slightly, and a disdainful, arrogant smile formed on his face. He believed she placed love above
all else, but it seemed she was merely putting on a facade.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Ah, what a stupid woman. Still driven by her love for money,”
Strangely, this realization brought Joseph a sense of satisfaction.
Chloe’s injuries were minor, and after three days in the hospital, the doctor gave her the news that she
could be discharged. However, Icarus would need to remain hospitalized for a while longer.
“Be sure to visit me, Chloe. This place is such a snooze.”
“Of course. Once I sort out the piled-up work at the office, I’ll come to see you.”
Regina chimed in, her tone filled with nagging concern, “You’re bound to marry into the Baker family
eventually. Why exert yourself so much at work? A woman’s greatest skill lies not in her earnings, but
in how well she tends to her husband and raises her children.”
“Mom, can you not say these things? Chloe and I are just ordinary friends,” Icarus responded, his tone
tinged with annoyance.
“Ordinary friends don’t go to such great lengths for each other. Who would be willing to marry you with
potential complications in the future?!”
“Mom!”
“Mrs. Regina, I understand your concerns. I’ll put careful consideration into my relationship with Icarus,
but I can’t make any promises regarding marriage at this time,” Chloe
interjected, lowering her gaze to conceal her emotions.
Icarus was filled with indescribable excitement. “Are you for real, Chloe?”
“Yes.” She owed Icarus so much, and she was willing to make an effort to fall in love with him.
Icarus joyfully held Chloe’s hand. “Chloe, you’re incredible. Everything I’ve done has been worthwhile.”
Regina pouted, displaying her displeasure. “This divorced woman carries herself with an air of
superiority as if she’s so noble.’
Chloe suppressed the urge to break free and forced a smile onto her face.
After learning that Chloe was being released from the hospital, Emily arrived early in the morning to
assist her with the discharge procedures. As she waited outside the ward, she unintentionally
overheard the conversation between Chloe and Icarus.
Muttering to herself, Emily pondered, “Why does it seem like these mothers and sons are so perfectly
in sync…”
Just as she spoke, Chloe emerged from the ward, casting a puzzled gaze at Emily. “What were you
mumbling to yourself about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh, nothing. Let’s go grab something to eat.”
“I can’t yet. I need to return Joseph’s supplementary card to him.”
“Then let’s have our meal near Fairlight. There are two large shopping malls there, and after we eat, we
can explore them. You mentioned wanting to reward the exceptional employees in the company. We
could get them some gifts while we’re there.”
Chloe paused, considering the suggestion. “That sounds like a good plan.”
Since it was mealtime, they decided to visit the mall first, enjoying their meal before. proceeding to
purchase perfumes and skincare products for the female employees and electronic products for the
males.
After they finished their shopping and were waiting for the salesperson to bag the items, Emily’s gaze
fell to the adjacent women’s clothing store. She caught sight of a figure that seemed oddly familiar, but
she could not place where she had seen her before.
She gently nudged Chloe with her elbow, a curious expression on her face. “Coco, ten o’clock. Do you
recognize that woman? Does she ring any bells?”
Chloe’s gaze followed Emily’s indication and immediately laid eyes on Xavia who wore a stunning,
long, vintage, red dress. Exuding an air of elegance, Xavia’s every move was reminiscent of a
captivating oil painting brought to life. Her carefully applied makeup enhanced her features, further
adding to her enchanting allure.
