Chapter 506 Men Can Utilize Their Sexual Charms Too
“Are you badmouthing me?”
The bedroom door abruptly swung open, revealing a tall and handsome man exuding an air of dignity and
aloofness. However, the sight of him holding a ladle in his hand seemed oddly endearing, creating a delightful
contrast.
Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at him, momentarily taken aback. “When did you get here?”
“An hour ago.”
“Are you a ghost? How did you enter my apartment without making a sound?!”
Joseph adopted an innocent expression. “I saw you sleeping so peacefully, and I didn’t want to disturb you. I never
realized you’re such a deep sleeper.”
A flicker of emotion passed through Chloe’s eyes. “I’m exhausted today.”
Joseph felt his heart melt. Lately, he had been consumed by numerous responsibilities, leaving him with little time
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto be with her. And today, he had even upset her.
“I’ve prepared some dishes. Come out and eat.”
Chloe did not refuse as she was famished. She took a seat at the table while Joseph brought out the meticulously
prepared dishes one by one-five visually stunning plates emitting irresistible aromas. The scent alone hinted at their
deliciousness.
Chloe’s mouth watered as she picked up her cutlery and indulged in a bite of the steak. The meat was tender,
succulent, and infused with a delightful aroma, devoid of any excess grease. She found herself unable to resist,
taking bite after bite, unable to satiate her appetite.
They say the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach, but that saying only held weight if the man in question
lacked culinary skills.
Joseph leaned in, resting his chin on his hand, and said with gentle affection, “Slow down. No one’s going to snatch
it away from you.” As he uttered those words, he also served her a comforting bowl of chowder, mindful of her
well-being and worried she might choke.
Chloe was a little embarrassed. In the past, she had been the one caring for him, and now the roles were reversed,
which felt strange. However, the moment this thought emerged, she vigorously shook her head. ‘No, there’s
nothing peculiar about it. Even if it feels that way, I must adapt! I refuse to be treated as a commodity.”
Chloe completed her bedtime routine and settled into bed. Joseph did the same, lying down beside her. She gently
protested as her expression stiffened, “Get off the bed. I never agreed to you staying over.”
“After working tirelessly for you all night, aren’t you going to offer any form of compensation?” Joseph’s broad hand
firmly wrapped around her slender waist, pausing momentarily. “Hmm, you seem to have gained a bit of weight.”
There appeared to be a slight increase in the size of Chloe’s tummy.
In the dim light, a hint of panic flickered across her face as she gently pushed away the hand on her waist. “You’re
the one who gained weight.”
“I exercise every day and never put on weight. If you don’t believe me, feel for yourself.” Joseph grasped her hand
and guided it to his abdominal muscles. They were firm and well-
defined.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA blush crept onto Chloe’s cheeks as she felt the warmth radiating from Joseph’s skin. His flirting skills were
undoubtedly improving.
Joseph noticed her unusual reaction and a sense of delight washed over him. He held her hand, urging her to
explore his body with her touch.
Before coming to her apartment, he had dialed Nathan’s number and sought advice on seduction tips. Nathan
stated that women could utilize their sexual charms and that men could do the same. Initially, Joseph dismissed the
idea, but upon reflection, he realized it was his wife, not someone else, so he rid himself of all reservations.
“Enough.” Chloe couldn’t bear it any longer and abruptly turned around, presenting him with her back. “If you want
to sleep, then sleep. Otherwise, get out.”
A mischievous smirk tugged at the corner of Joseph’s lips. “Aren’t you angry anymore?”
“I am,” she replied bluntly.
“Then how can we move past this?”
He could not quite comprehend the intricacies of a woman’s thought process. After all, he had never done anything
with Hazel, so why was Chloe so upset?
“I expect you to support me unconditionally and stand by my side if we ever face a similar situation in the future.
Even if I call the other person a piece of shit, I want you to agree and back me up,” Chloe asserted.
Joseph’s brows furrowed. “There’s no need for that.”
