Chapter 784 Givea Kiss
Noah stared intently at Chloe, not uttering a word. His eyes dissected her, trying to assess the truth of her
words. After what felt like an eternity, he leaned toward her with an unreadable expression on his face. "Coco,
how about you tellthe truth?”
Putting in so much effort to remain composed, Chloe did not notice the cold sweat seeping down her back. She
met his intense gaze, attempting to hold her ground as she retorted, "This is the truth. Don't you trust me?"
"You're not the kind of person to backtrack unless you encounter an unexpected issue while executing your
plans."
"Isn't fear of marriage an issue?" Chloe looked at him with a hurt expression, keeping her voice soft and delicate,
evoking his urge to protect her. "If Grandfather can't understand me, at least you should..."
Noah's heart ached as he embraced her. His tone had visibly softened as he asked, "Then why did you go to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFairlight this morning?"
"| went to see Joseph about arranging a tto visit Harold before getting married. Harold has always been good
toand treatslike family. It's only right to let him know about the marriage." Chloe leaned stiffly against
his chest, feeling utterly uncomfortable. She had no choice but to use Harold as a cover, even though it sounded
far-fetched.
"Why didn’t you just call Harold directly?" Noah's eyes darkened slightly.
"He doesn't have a phone, and I've long deleted the landline number for the mansion." Chloe then changed the
subject. She pretended to be curious and asked, "I heard from Jasper that he cto Exotic Star to visit me?"
"Yes.” Noah did not deny it. "A little child couldn't possibly have con his own. | presumed it was Joseph's
doing, so | refused on your behalf to avoid trouble." His words were rational, considerate, and thoughtful.
"Will you please have the helper continue preparing medicine for Vanya?” Chloe's eyes sparkled. "Saving a life
brings good karma. Though she has committed grave sins, she has paid the price. If we help her, it'll serve as an
opportunity for us to accumulate good karma."
Noah pondered for a few seconds before a mischievous smile crept onto his lips. "Before | do that, givea
kiss."
Stunned, Chloe's fair cheeks flushed a deep crimson. She froze, unsure of how to react.
"Don't you want to?"
"I'm not sure I'm ready for that... I'm sorry."
Seeing her reaction, Noah's eyes darkened. He lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. As his lips
grazed her skin, she quickly backed away. She nearly stumbled, her panic reaching its peak.
"You're that averse to me, huh?" Noah's voice was tinged with disappointment.
Her eyes went wide as she covered the spot he had kissed, unable to find the words to say. She wanted to say
she was not and that it was just her instinct reflexes.
"Forget it. | have my answer. You don't have to explain anything," Noah said as he turned and walked away, his

Chloe felt a fleeting moment of guilt before quickly regaining her composure. What was most important right
now was finding out the truth. If she had misunderstood him, she would make amends. But if her suspicions were
proven true, she would not hold back.
*
When Chloe got to her room, she received a message from Joseph.
[9 tomorrow morning at the breakfast joint near Jas' school. See you there.]
She sat on the edge of the bed, pondering over the message for a long time. Should she go? For the sake of her
child, she wanted to be selfish but Joseph’s mother had spent over a decade trying to escape Duskfall’s clutches.
She knew she would be jeopardizing everything, potentially causing Joseph’s mother to repeat her tragic past.
Joseph would cto hate her, and so would Jasper.
The image of Jasper's face surfaced in Chloe's mind, stirring up ripples in her heart.
