Chapter 626
Chapter 626 Getting Back With an Ex Is a No Go
Chloe thought that he was dissatisfied, so she pouted and offered, “I’ll post a public apology on the Internet and admit that this is
all my fault given our past relationship. And none of it has nothing to do with you or Xavia. I’m just reaping what I’ve sown. Will
that be enough?”
She would do anything as long as he was willing to let her go. Even if she had to say that she had cheated on him, she would do
it. She was too exhausted to continue arguing with him over what was right. She was ready to accept her loss in this battle.
A coldness enveloped Joseph. For the first time, he realized that a gentle woman like Chloe was capable of such harsh words.
She could not be bothered to struggle anymore. He closed his eyes briefly before grasping her chin and forcing her to look at
him.
“So you’re okay with ruining your public image just to break up with me?” he questioned.
Chloe rolled her eyes and laughed bitterly. “No one wishes to slander themselves. I’ve just decided to go with it since I can’t
change anything.”
She could simply ignore it if it was merely one person slandering her, but she would suffer greatly if a lot of people did it.
Joseph paused as a look of annoyance flashed through his eyes. “I haven’t figured things out yet. Give me some time.”
It was hard for any man to accept that his beloved woman was pregnant with another man’s
child.
“Forget it. You don’t have to force yourself, and I don’t have to either.” Chloe pushed his hand away, feeling a sense of
helplessness that was like a familiar friend now.
Love was supposed to be selfless, but she could not accept Xavia’s child and he did not trust her wholeheartedly.
“Chloe...” Joseph looked glum and furious as he stared at her. “I’ll never let you leave me.’
Chloe’s gaze wavered. “Are you asking me to stay with you?”
Joseph did not answer directly, but instead held her shoulders and stared into her eyes. “What if I said yes?”
“But I don’t want to be with you,” Chloe said nonchalantly and without a hint of hesitation.
There was no point getting back together with an ex. It was bitter and pathetic.
Joseph suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Are you breaking up with me?”
Chloe shook her head and found his words amusing, but tears escaped her control and burst forth. “This is the second time
you’re saying you don’t want me!”

He had done it the first time for Xavia’s child, and now solely because of Icarus’ testimony. Chloe felt desperate. She did not
want to experience this feeling a third time.
“I want you.” Ignoring his back injuries, Joseph enveloped her in a hug. “I’ve figured it out. Let’s just go back to how things were
and put everything behind us.”
Tyson was right. Chloe was pregnant with Icarus’ child, but he had accidentally knocked up Xavia. He had no right to blame
Chloe.
“No, I’ll never trust you again,” she muttered, “Maybe I’m just a woman that attracts.
scumbags. Jake slept with Ava, and you slept with Xavia. Looks like it’s just hard for me to find a normal relationship.”
When Joseph heard her statement, he was overcome by grief and found it hard to breathe. How could she compare him to a
scumbag like Jake? But he could not refute it. He had slept with Xavia.
