Chapter 548 Unexpected Drowsiness

Joseph took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding to Chloe’s question. His gaze remained fixed on her, his dark eyes reflecting a mix of seriousness and determination. “Do you want to hear the truth?”

Chloe braced herself, already anticipating his response. Despite her worry, she was determined to know his honest thoughts.

Chloe’s frustration grew, feeling a sense of suffocation from Joseph’s response. “You claim to want to be responsible, but what about our children? How will they feel about this?”

“If we don’t reveal the truth to the child, they’ll never know.”

Her disappointment was palpable. Joseph’s cunning approach was directed at his own family.
