Chapter 121

Chloe clenched her fists on the cabinet door. She took a deep breath and her eyes were red with rage. “I’ve said all I need to. If you don’t believe me, I’m done talking!”

“Have we met before, a while back?”

“Chloe, answer me,” Joseph said eagerly, leaning towards her and almost covering her beautiful back. “Have we met a long time ago?”

Chloe’s heart suddenly constricted, and her rosy lips instantly paled. “You’re overthinking it. When Grandfather arranged the marriage, that was the first time we ever laid eyes on each other. We have never met before then.”

She feared Joseph would recognize her as the little girl he had rescued ten years prior.

By the time the marriage had ended, the love and pursuit of the previous thirteen years had already been lost. If she were to recall it again, all she would get was a feeling of pity and sadness.

Chloe wanted to save her face, she did not want to reveal that she had been in love with the dog man for thirteen years.

It was too humiliating.

Joseph had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, wishing that the reality could have been different.

“Release it. Allow me to take the items. I’m departing.” Chloe’s voice quavered slightly as she yanked the cupboard door with determination.

“Chloe, you…”

“No more questions! That’s enough!”

Chloe suddenly seemed to have been struck by the most tender nerve. Her voice suddenly became sharp, “We have already split up. Joseph, do you comprehend the meaning of the word divorce?!”

“What’s the point of delving into the past like this? Even if I used to be madly in love with you, so what? I don’t love you anymore. Seeing all these things I gave you makes me feel nauseous!”

Madly in love.

Joseph heard nothing else but these three words reverberating in his mind over and over again.

His breath sank as his big hand grabbed her round shoulder and swiftly turned her small body to face him.

The man was taken aback to discover that her eyes were glowing red.

“If you want to cry,” Joseph said, his voice still taut, but his eyes gentler than before, “you can go ahead and do so.”

“Ah, cry? Can’t you tell I’m so angry? Divorcing you would be a great thing. I’m laughing so hard I’m about to wake up even in my dreams!”

Chloe’s voice was icy as her chest heaved up and down. “When I signed the divorce agreement, I vowed to myself that I would never shed a single tear for you – not ever.”

Joseph’s heart was pierced by each of the last few words, one after the other.

He was about to speak when a knock sounded at the door.
