Chapter 35 Joseph Is Jealous!

By the time Joseph came back with the car keys, Chloe’s mind was still swimming.

“Hmm?” He raised his eyebrows. “What’s the matter? Let’s go.”

Chloe fiddled with the buttons of her coat and demurely said, “Is it too much trouble for you to drive me this late at night?”

Despite not being emotionally prepared to confess to Jake yet, the idea of him seeing her with his uncle and losing his confidence was too big of a temptation to let go. Just the thought of that scene sent shivers of joy down her spine.

Unfortunately, Joseph misconstrued her intentions and his expression turned sour as he quipped, “Don’t worry. I just happened to be heading back to the office and it’s along the way. I won’t be a hindrance to your secret meeting with your paramour.”

“What paramour?” Chloe was taken aback, and it was not until a moment later that she realized the meaning behind his odd tone. She took a few steps closer, smiling slyly as she stared at him. “Are you jealous?”

Otherwise, why would he sound so sarcastic?

Joseph met her gaze and gave a dismissive smile. “Overconfidence is an illness. You better get it treated sooner rather than later.”

He checked the watch on his wrist and strode downstairs in long strides. “If you’re not leaving, I am.”
