A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 294

After Joseph fell in love with Chloe, he understood one thing.

Chloe was like a mountain bamboo, always with a black face and a hard shell, but in fact, her heart was still soft, sincere, and kind.

There was nothing else that could attract her, so he could only shamelessly pester her and drag her, for more than a moment.

In the past, it was she who was by his side, in order to compromise with him alone, racing against time.

Now, it was his turn to suffer.

In the end, Chloe was unable to walk out of this room, so he had no choice but to stay.

“Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t stay because you wanted me to stay, but because I promised grandfather and Annie.”

“I will rest next door tonight. If you need anything, call me and I will come over.” Chloe calmed down and sat up from the bed.

“Chloe, sleep here tonight.” Joseph’s eyes were deep.

“The sofa is uncomfortable. I can’t sleep.” Chloe tried hard to pull her hand out, but she couldn’t.

“Let’s sleep on the bed.” The man’s voice was low, as if he was coaxing her.

“Joseph, can’t you speak without saying something offensive?” Chloe hated that she did not have a tape measure in her pocket, otherwise she really wanted to measure the thickness of this man’s face!

“Don’t misunderstand, Chloe. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Although I really want to…”

As they spoke, Joseph couldn’t help but feel that Gao An’s tall and straight body was emitting a fiery heat, leaning to wards her.

Think? Fucking you thought!

“It stinks! Don’t come near me!”

“I don’t want to sleep in the same room as you. I’m afraid that I will faint from the stench in the middle of the night.” Chloe dodged back wards, her other hand pinching the tip of his nose in disgust.

“Is it smelly? It’s okay.”

“When I was a soldier, the conditions in the camp were bad. I couldn’t take a bath once a week. At that time, it was much worse than this.”

“Later, when I returned to Sawle Group, I could take a bath everyday. At first, I was still a little unaccustomed.”

Chloe’s eyes trembled slightly.

In his past, the hardship he had endured, in this world, other than himself, the one who understood the most was her, Chloe.

She did not dislike him, but the knot in her heart was difficult to untie. Even if he was more sincere to her now, she could not persuade herself to take a step closer to him.

She once loved him, and rushed to him without hesitation, like a moth flying into a flame. When all the love and enthusiasm was burned by him personally, she turned into ashes and thought that it was really difficult, very difficult.

“Chloe, why don’t I wipe my body? Wait for me.”

Joseph was afraid that the little girl would dislike him and refuse to be in the same room as him, so he pretended to get out of bed to do some -personal hygiene.

“You can’t touch the water now. Don’t mess around, just stink.”

Chloe pried open Joseph’s fingers one by one, and his long eyelashes trembled. “I’ll go wash up.”

Though concealing his vulnerabilities, Joseph was secretly struggling. His sense of pride and a somewhat chauvinistic outlook discouraged him from revealing any signs of weakness, particularly in the presence of his loved one. Consumed by the traditional belief that men should serve as protectors, he felt an overwhelming responsibility to uphold an invincible front and safeguard his partner.

However, his head was hit by a stick. In the past, he had almost been hit by a machine gun. How did he become so weak that he couldn’t take care of himself?

It was too shameful in front of Chloe.

At this moment, he leaned against the headboard and listened to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

For a long, long time, he didn’t have the heart to be this calm and peaceful. He had never experienced such simple happiness.

Suddenly, Joseph’s eyes turned sour, and he clenched the sheets with his

13:03

fingers.

He reminisced about their time before the divorce, recalling how he’d never been annoyed with her. He used to become impatient when she lingered in the bath, and felt exasperated by her pretentious skincare routine. When she meticulously prepared a lavish display of exquisite dishes, he only deemed it an unnecessary waste of time…

The scenes of daily life flashed back and forth in front of him, and every scene flashed past his eyes, and his heart hurt fiercely.

Creak –

The bathroom door opened.

Chloe’s long hair was wrapped in a white towel, and she walked out with a delicate and white face that was covered with water vapor.

Joseph’s pupils shrank in an instant. Looking at this young, beautiful, full face, he was so moved that he couldn’t control himself. His Adam’s apple rolled restlessly.

“You still look good without makeup.”

“Alright, as I said last time, stop talking nonsense.”

With a towel draped over her head, Chloe slumped onto the sofa, her face etched with melancholy. “If you’re not adept at giving compliments, don’t strain yourself. Your comment about me still looking good without makeup… well, I always look good. I’m effortlessly stunning, radiant to the point of emitting a glow, as bewitching as a fairy tale creature.”

“Yes, you are like a fairy.”

“I always thought you were very beautiful.” Joseph looked at her like Wu Gang looked at Chang ‘e.

“Always? How straight.”

“When we were husband and wife, I thought you were very beautiful at that time.” The man’s tone was especially sincere.

“Hehe, Joseph, listen to your words. Do you believe it?”

“If you really think I’m pretty, would you not look at me for three years?” Chloe said disdainfully.

“…” Joseph didn’t dare to speak anymore. It was wrong to say more. Take his time to convince her. Anyway, now he knew that her heart was not stone, but mountain bamboo.

Everything will be fine. The broken mirror will definitely be round again.

13:03

“I’m sleepy. You should go to sleep too.”

Chloe’s soft body stretched like a kitten and was about to lie down on the sofa.

There was a knock on the door and Max asked respectfully, “Mr. Sawle, have you and Mrs. Sawle rested?”

Chloe frowned and was just about to speak when Joseph took a step for ward. “No, come in.”

The door opened.

Max and the two bodyguards, sweating profusely, moved a super big bed in!

It was so big that he couldn’t even squeeze through the door from left to right, and it took him a lot of effort to get in.

“Mr. Sawle, the bed you prepared for Mrs. Sawle, I bought it for you!” Max gasped for breath and wiped his sweat.

“Well done, put it down.” Joseph nodded.

Chloe was raised as the apple of her family. She could tell at a glance that the bed that this man bought for her was the same as the one at her

home. It was worth two Million!

“Joseph, what are you doing?”

“You can’t sleep on the sofa, and you don’t want to sleep in my bed. I can only buy you another one.” Joseph said in a gentle tone.

If she did not sleep well, he would not feel good.

Chloe was angry that he acted on his own initiative. She got up and walked to the big bed. She clenched her fists and beat the bed hard.

Oh, so soft.

Outside the window, the cold winter wind was blowing.

The room was quiet, but it was warm and comfortable.

Their beds were next to each other. Although there was a gully in the middle, Joseph already felt that they were sharing the same bed.

Moreover, Max was especially enlightened and tried to get as close to their beds as possible.

By the time Chloe found out, it was already too late. The three of them quickly retreated, and she herself could not move, leaving Joseph, a weak

13:03

ex-husband, unable to help her.

Chloe lay on her back on the bed, closed her eyes, and breathed evenly.

Joseph was also lying on his back. He smelled the faint fragrance coming from her hair, and his heart throbbed. The monotonous and dull ceiling in front of him seemed to have romantic and brilliant stars all over the sky.

His palm was wet and hot, and his fingers trembled slightly as he slowly moved in the direction of Chloe…

“Stay there obediently.” The woman’s clear voice suddenly sounded in the night.

Joseph’s fingers stiffened, “…”

“Otherwise, tonight will be the last time you have a right hand.”

The man’s forehead was covered in sweat. He smiled helplessly, “…”

Joseph was like a corpse, lying there for who knows how long.

Finally, Chloe was breathing well, breathing like orchids, and fell asleep.

The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He took a deep breath and made a great decision. Slowly, he firmly held her warm little hand.

He held it firmly, his fingers interlocked with hers.

“Chloe, I love you. Good night.”

Joseph closed his eyes in satisfaction and soon fell asleep.

After a long while, accompanied by shallow snoring, Chloe quietly raised her long eyelashes, clenched her fingers, and her heart beat so violently.

“Cur, good night.”

After taking care of Joseph for two days, Chloe withdrew and returned to Sea Gate’s home.

On one hand, her worries for Sia were escalating considering that several days had elapsed since her departure, intensifying her desire to return and survey the current scenario. On the other hand, she considered seeking Helena’s guidance, wondering if there was any way to obliterate or effectively manage the side effects plaguing Joseph.

After all, although she was God Lewis, she could not cur e any illness.

“Kiran, how is Sia?” Chloe hugged Kiran, whose eyes were red, and asked with concern. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Mom… she’s been cooped up in her room, refusing to see anyone. She didn’t even eat a bite of food yesterday. The room’s lights are perpetually on – I’m worried she isn’t getting any sleep.”

very

Kiran said with tears coming out of her eyes and choking up, “I’m afraid that Mom will do something stupid if she is hit! Sister… What should I do?”

“I won’t, I promise. While your mother may appear frail, she possesses a formidable strength internally. She won’t be easily bowed down. Don’t let your worry consume you.” Chloe comforted Kiran, her hand rubbing soothingly on his trembling back. It was apparent that he’d shed considerable weight, his grip on her hand so tight that it edged on discomfort.

Her heart was so uncomfortable and resentful!

She was a good family. The kind family members were already low-key enough to stand aloof from the world. Why should she be hurt and schemed by those dirty people? Why

“Young Miss, you’re finally back.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve been taking turns guarding Third Madam with the other two bodyguards for the past few days. She won’t be in any danger. Don’t worry.”

“Sia has bodyguards, servants, Helena, Freya, and my dad. I left you at home to give you a task. I want you to take good care of Kiran. Look at how you took care of her. I want her to become a little fat piggy. Look at her now, she’s become a monkey!”

The young miss couldn’t hold back her anger and released Jordan directly.

Jordan was filled with guilt and could only continuously admit his mistakes. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of Ninth Miss. Please punish me.”

“Sister, sister, don’t punish Brother Jordan! He is already very busy and tired. He has already taken good care of me. He really tried his best. Don’t blame him, okay?” Kiran was so scared that her face turned pale. She kept begging for fear of dragging Jordan down.

“Humph, you are wrong. Jordan, I will punish you to take Kiran out to relax. Go to Sea Gate’s best restaurant to eat delicious food, and also take her to her favorite sweet food. You are not allowed to go home until it is dark. Do you hear me?” Chloe had an iron-faced and honest expression.

Kiran was stunned. “Sister, sister…”

Jordan’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Kiran with a gentle smile in her eyes. “Ninth Miss, I will have to trouble you today.”

How was this grievance?

Being able to date with Brother Jordan alone was something she did not even dare to dream about!

But…

“Kiran, don’t worry.”

Chloe saw through Kiran’s thoughts and caressed her long hair lovingly. “I’m in charge at home. It won’t be chaotic. You’ve worked hard for so many days. It’s time to rest. It’s not good for your health to be too tense. Go out with Jordan to relax.”

After earnestly sending Jordan and Kiran away, Chloe was not in a hurry to see Sia. Instead, he went to find Helena.

“Don’t go see her first. She can’t even see your father. It must be a big blow. She needs to be alone and quiet.” Helena looked sad, thinking of what happened that day, and her heart was also very sad.

“Later, I will try to talk to Sia.”

“Helena, I have a presumptuous request.” Chloe pursed her lips and kept silent for a long time.

“Child, what are you saying! Just say it!”

Helena’s eyes were full of anger. He gently poked her white face with her finger. “You have to be polite with me again. Don’t look for me if you have anything in the future!”

“I was wrong,” Chloe smiled and leaned her head on her shoulder.

“Helena, I heard you mention before that your nephew is an excellent brain doctor in Nialzuct? Is he the youngest doctor in the history of Nialzuct’s Royal Medical Academy?”

“You mean, Jadiel?” Helena frowned slightly.

“Yes… It’s Jadiel King, Dr. King.”

“Can I trouble you to invite him over? I have something that need him to help.” Chloe blushed with embarrassment.

Helena blinked and sized her up a few times. “What? Are you dating?”

Chloe: “…”

13:03

“You asked him to come back to the country because you were in a hurry to see him?”

Helena told herself that she was excited. “Aiya!” She clapped her hands and said, “This is great! The family of the scholarly family is worthy of the daughter of a wealthy family. It can be considered a match in terms of social status. Jadiel is my nephew. I knows his background well and we are relatives!”

“I am very optimistic about this marriage!”

Helena! What are you thinking about? I asked Dr. King to come back because I have something urgent to ask!

Last time in the parking lot, Joseph suffered a serious injury in order to save my head. Although he had an operation, there were still sequelae. My ability is limited and I can’t cure him, so I think that Dr. King can help Joseph.

Helena looked at Chloe’s anxious look and had mixed feelings.

She still hated Joseph, but she could not deny that the evil creature had made a great contribution this time.

“Helena, what’s wrong? Are you… unwilling?”

Chloe sighed gloomily and blamed herself. “I was rude. I forgot that you almost broke off contact with King family in order to be with my father… I was forced to do it.”

It’s true that I don’t have much contact with King family. But all these years, my relationship with Jadiel has been very harmonious. He has always respected me. It’s just that… Jadiel is a little eccentric. Even I can’t completely understand his thoughts.

I will try my best to persuade him to come over, but if he doesn’t want to, I don’t have much of a way.

“If he doesn’t want to, I have a way.””

Chloe gritted her teeth and narrowed her almond eyes. “At worst, I can call Fourth Brother. He has plenty of ways to lead him over to the sea.”
