Chapter 187 Final Breath

Joseph grew impatient with Chloe’s tortoise–paced approach. Not wanting to waste any more time, he bent down, closing the gap between them, and their bodies pressed tightly

together. With a firm grip on her chin, he urged her to respond actively.

In a fleeting moment, an intense intimacy enveloped them. Joseph found himself unexpectedly drawn to this sensation. It was as if he had discovered a newfound craving, a fatal attraction to such intimate exchanges. Particularly in recent times, his desire to connect with her on a more profound level had been steadily growing.

In a hazy state, Chloe opened her eyes and found herself gazing at the magnified, dashing face before her. His long eyelashes softened the cold gleam in his eyes, and his large hands cradled her gently.

Chloe could not help but wonder if her eyes were deceiving her. At that moment, she sensed a shared intensity in the kiss, as if Joseph, too, was caught up in the whirlwind of emotions. A whimsical thought crossed her mind–could Joseph hold a hint of affection for her?

Thinking of this, she could not help but burst into laughter. It was ironic how moments ago she had told Laura that she had no interest in him, yet here she was entertaining such

thoughts. Attraction, she realized, could be both deadly and irresistible.

The kiss ended the second Chloe started laughing. Joseph shot her a dissatisfied glance before retrieving his coat and making

his exit. A flush of crimson spread across Chloe’s face, and a wave of confusion washed over her. Oh no, could he be angry?

She hastily got up, determined to chase after him, but her unsteady steps almost caused her to stumble. Her body felt weak as if she were a flimsy puppet on strings, devoid of strength. It reminded her of how succubi in TV dramas would drain people’s souls.

Chloe trailed behind Joseph until they reached a shopping mall.
