Chapter 338 Unless It Wasn’t Xavia That Night

Confronted by her hopeful gaze, Joseph averted his eyes and calmly said, “Let’s wait until the

fetus reaches four months and have an amniocentesis done before we make a decision.”

Xavia’s joyous and excited emotions had barely begun to soar before she was doused with a bucket of icy water

from head to toe. Her voice raised sharply as she shouted, “What do you mean by that?

Π

With an indifferent demeanor on his chiseled face, Joseph replied, “Do you really want me to spell

it out for you?”

She was stumped.

‘It’s impossible. There’s no way he could know. My plan is flawless. He must only be suspicious

now. That’s right. He doesn’t have any evidence. I just need to stay calm.‘

With that thought in mind, Xavia tried to reach out for Joseph’s hand, but he saw through her

intention and subtly evaded her grasp.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you have any questions, just say it directly. We’ve known

each other for so long. Just say whatever is on your mind,” she said

At her words, Joseph suddenly let out a laugh, filled with irony and a chilling undertone. Indeed,

they had known each other for so long, and he had just discovered how colorful her past had been.

“Fine, I’ll just ask then.”

“Yes, go ahead,” she responded.

“Are you absolutely certain that you became pregnant after that night we spent together?”

“Well, yes, I do find it incredibly coincidental, but since the child has come into this world, perhaps it’s a twist of

fate,” Xavia strained to maintain her composure, forcing a compassionate

smile upon her face. “Is something wrong? If you don’t believe me, I can wait for the four–month

mark and undergo amniocentesis.”

The depths of Joseph’s eyes resembled a pot of spilled ink, dark and impenetrable. He closed

them briefly, and after the surge of anger, a miraculous calm settled within him. When he

reopened his eyes and looked at Xavia once again, he seemed to be looking at an insignificant ant.

He had given her a chance due to their past relationship and her physical condition, but she still

Xara was shocked. You’ve already spoken to your grandfather? Does he…approve of me?”

I understand. If I were in his position, I’d probably feel the same way.” Xavia smiled, but her

“Okay,” Xavia replied obediently, Ill get out of your hair then. By the way, was it Jane who told

you about my pregnancy?”

Joseph’s gaze flickered “No, it was Chloe who told me.”

Surprised and angered. Xavia exclaimed, “How could Jane try to sow discord between you and Ms.

Chice?”

Chloe and I have ended our relationship.”

Xama scrutinized Joseph’s facial expression carefully. He appeared distant and cold, his eyes reflecting a rational

and detached nature.

That’s right. This was the Joseph she knew–a man who categorized everything based on personal gain. He adhered

to the moral principles of an ordinary person but lacked warmth and sensitivity.

She vividly remembered the day Joseph agreed to be with her. She had naively believed that this flawless man had

genuinely fallen in love with her. However, her hopes were shattered when she discovered that he had only agreed

to their union because she was the “suitable choice to be his

eyebrow, he looked at Joseph and said. “See? She’s still pretending *

Last night, when he asked Joseph if he wanted to take care of Xavia, Joseph had unexpectedly answered yes. He

even mentioned that she was a virgin before him and considering her poor health, he should take responsibility.

His reaction startled Gabriel, and he immediately told Joseph that he had slept with Xavia before. Even if she was

really pregnant, they should rely on scientific methods like amniocentesis to confirm whether it was his child

Joseph held a cigarette between his fingers, his chin sporting stubble that had grown overnight giving him a slightly

disheveled appearance, like a fallen deity who had lost some of his divine radiance. He sounded a little dejected as

he said, “I believe Xavia was truly a virgin that night”

“You’re just too noble and righteous. It’s normal to be unable to distinguish such things,” Gabriel smirked “We grew

up together, so do you think I wouldn’t be able to tell?” After a slight pause, be teased “Unless it wasn’t Xavia that

night”
