Chapter 676 Leaving Flowers at My Grave?
"How would | have been able to get away from you if | didn't deceive you?" Chloe’s voice was calm, though
tinged with sarcasm.
"How could you be so heartless?"
"And what about you? How could you imprisonand forceto have an abortion? You even tried to make me
accept you being with Xavia."
"I can explain that. It's not like what you think."
"Sorry, I'm not interested. | have to go," Chloe said coldly. She averted her gaze and tried to leave.
Unwilling to let her go, Joseph reached out to grab her hand, but Chloe deftly dodged his grasp.

"Mr. Joseph, please mind your manner." Noah cjust in the nick of time, positioning himself between Chloe
and Joseph.
Chloe and Noah stood close to each other, suggesting their intimate connection. Upon seeing this, Joseph's
anger flared up.
He lashed out, "Fuck off."
"Mr. Joseph, | believe Coco made herself very clear. Please step aside," Noah said, his calm demeanor a stark
contrast to Joseph's anger.
"Chere," Joseph commanded, ignoring Noah's words while fixing his gaze on Chloe.
When their eyes met, Chloe suddenly smiled. "Do you feel it unfair because I've kept you in the dark all these
years?" she questioned.
Joseph's eyebrows furrowed. He admitted that he had felt such emotions. Most importantly, he believed that
Chloe was just like him, that they were both waiting for each other and had not forgotten about each other. Her
departure was merely a means to find a new place to heal her wounds. It did not mark the end of their
relationship.
"Have you ever experienced the despair of being engulfed in flames? A fire that sears your skin and tries to
consall of you?"
A flicker of guilt crossed Joseph's face when Chloe brought up the fire. "That was an oversight on my side."
"An oversight? Yeah, it was just an oversight. And the consequence was that | was nearly killed and my child is
dead!"
"I can apologize for that, but that one mistake doesn’t erase all the good I've done for you.”
He was well aware of the loss Chloe had suffered in that fire, but he was absent that day because he was
working toward their future.
"Do you think | need your apology?" Chloe chuckled. "Can an apology bring my child back to life?"
Joseph felt a lump forming in his throat. His voice was hoarse with emotion as he said, "I'll make it up to you."
"I would've turned into ashes if it weren't for Noah, so what right do you have to question why | lied to you? If |

grave every year?"
"Chloe, you know how much I love you. Why must you do this to me? Why must you trample on our
relationship?"
"I'm sorry, but I've already moved on," Chloe said firmly, smiling brightly at Joseph.
The smile on her face told Joseph that he was the only one deluding himself. He remained silent for a long while
before taking a deep breath. "You can't be with Noah."
Chloe was taken aback for a moment, but then her smile deepened. "You have no say in what I do. If you still
want to use imprisonment and coercion to force me, feel free to try it."
Noah chimed in, saying gently, "Mr. Joseph, try looking at this from a different perspective. Not every relationship
lasts, and not every person is right for you."
Joseph's gaze intensified, and though his words were for Chloe, his eyes were on Noah. "Whatever | did in the
past, | did them all openly, unlike speople who are skilled at wearing masks— presenting one face in public
and another in secret. Can you be sure Noah hasn't harmed you?"
