Chapter 223 Leave Joseph and Enjoy Your Life
“Of course not. That would be something a pervert does,” he teased before he explained seriously,” My friend lives here. I just had a meal at his place before coming out to get some fresh air. I also wanted to see if I’d have the chance to bump into you. Well, it’s proved that we’re destined to meet.
Chloe nodded. She found that the dogs had had enough now and decided to head home. Unexpectedly, a stray cat ran out of the bush, exciting both Oreo and Toto. They excitedly pounced on the cat to play with it.
Consequently, Chloe was dragged and, losing her balance, uncontrollably fell forward. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Icarus reacted quickly and grabbed her before asking nervously, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Chloe patted her chest to calm herself. After some difficulties, she struggled out of his arms. “Thank you. I would’ve fallen flat on my nose.
“You’re welcome.”
After that, Chloe lightly smacked Toto and Oreo’s hips to punish them. Oreo seemed to have understood this. Its ears drooped as it looked at her with its black eyes pitifully. On the contrary, Toto thought that she was playing with it and twirled excitedly.
Helplessly, Chloe slapped her forehead and said to Icarus, “I’m going to head home now. I’m done walking the dogs today.”
Icarus nodded. “Are you the owner of these two dogs, or is Joseph?”
“One’s Joseph’s while the other’s his friend’s.”
“You’re taking care of two big-sized dogs along… What about the helpers at home?”
“We haven’t hired any helpers for the time being ”
Hearing this, Icarus became hesitant. He felt sorry for Chloe. “You owe Joseph 28 million because
of that lawsuit. So why do you stay with him and serve him so attentively?”
Chloe became slightly stunned. “How do you know the exact amount?”
“That incident is spread all throughout the law industry, so it’s not hard for me to know.”
“Oh… It was because of that sum and some other reasons in the past, but that’s not the case anymore. I’m officially dating Joseph now.”
“You don’t have to explain. I know.” Icarus took out a bank card from his wallet and stuffed it into her hands. “I have 28 million here. Leave Joseph and lead the kind of life you want.”
“No, you have it all wrong.” Shock overcame Chloe. She hurriedly wanted to return the card to him.
Although Icarus was richer than ordinary people, that sum of money might be all the money he had. She could neither accept it nor take it.
While they were pushing the card back and forth between them, it fell to the floor. Chloe was holding the leash of the two dogs, so it was rather inconvenient for her to move around. When she bent down to pick it up, Icarus swiftly left.
Holding the card, Chloe helplessly watched him leave. She seemed to have underestimated how important she was to Icarus.
She decided to return it to him the next day
At last, she had no choice but to head home with the two dogs and the hot potato in her hand.
Joseph stepped out of the bath with a white towel wrapped around his lower half, leaving his upper half bate. His slick, short hair was still wet. His well-trained chest was strong, framed by perfect muscles, and exuded a powerful force.
Seeing that, Chloe averted her gaze in slight abashment.
Joseph simply arched his brows and grabbed a towel to wipe his hair languidly. “What took you so long?”
Chloe unconsciously hid the bank card behind her and said nervously, “I let the dogs play for a little longer.”
For some unknown reason, Joseph yearned to tease her. “Is that so? I thought you were having a tryst with another man.”
