Chapter 247 I Have Some Unresolved Trauma in This Area
Joseph took a deep breath and gently picked up Chloe in his arms, heading toward the bedroom.
Chloe’s initial surprise turned into a realization of his intentions, causing her body to tense up. She
quickly voiced her protest, “No, Jojo! We’re both too exhausted today.”
Joseph’s footsteps halted, and a playful smile adorned his face. “Don’t worry,” he assured her.
Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes widened, her mind momentarily blank as her cheeks flushed with
embarrassment. While she was unstoppable with her witty banter, she became timid like a turtle when
it came to actual practice. Especially in this aspect, where men would naturally take the lead.
Soon, her body felt weak, her resistance crumbling under Joseph’s advances. Part of her wanted to
give in, but in her state of confusion, the vivid image of Jake and Ava caught in bed flashed through her
mind. It jolted her back to reality, dispelling the haze of the moment.
“No… Jojo, I can’t do it right now,” Chloe said, pushing Joseph away, furrowing her brows as she

Sensing her sudden shift in emotions, Joseph wrapped his arms around her and spoke in a voice that
was unusually gentle, “What’s wrong?”
After a few seconds of contemplation, Chloe made the decision to be honest. “I have some
unresolved trauma in this area.”
Joseph’s eyelid twitched, and his flawless face turned serious. Unresolved trauma? Did that mean she
had previous experiences with other men?
Chloe noticed the shift in his expression and shivered involuntarily. She protested in a low voice, “You
have exes too. Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’ve never been intimate with Xavia.”
Chloe found it hard to believe. “Really?”
“Yes.”
“That’s great. You’re still pure.”
“But you’re not.”
“I am!”
Chloe sighed heavily as she recounted the incident of discovering her ex-boyfriend’s Infidelity. Joseph’s
face grew even darker upon hearing it. He gritted his teeth and asked, You’ve seen other men in the
act?”
“Umm, it’s not like I intentionally looked. It was just a coincidence,” Chloe replied defensively. Joseph
looked at her with disdain and remarked, “You certainly had poor taste in the past.”
“Well, people make mistakes sometimes. Now that I’m with you every day, my eyes have been
cleansed. Give me some time to process it, and then we can… um, you know, take that step! Okay?”
Chloe’s fair and tender face turned crimson with shyness.
It has to be said that sweet talk still has its effect.
Upon hearing her cautiously coaxing him, Joseph felt his anger subside. However, he also felt a hint of
frustration. It was both exasperating and endearing how easily dumbo could disarm him with just a few

Chloe tugged at Joseph’s sleeve and suddenly thought of something. “By the way, why didn’t you and
Xavia take your relationship to the next level even though you were together for so long?”
He paused for a moment and calmly replied, “Our relationship never reached that level.”
“Are we there now?”
Joseph looked deeply into her eyes and said, “You deliberately seduced me.”
Chloe was puzzled and expressed her confusion, “I did nothing of the sort. Maybe it’s because I’m
good-looking and have a nice figure. It was unintentional actions that made you have improper
thoughts. I didn’t plan anything.”
Such was the paradoxical nature of attraction. When one deliberately flirted, they failed, but when not
doing anything, they landed the fish. What kind of world was this?
