Chapter 951 It Doesn’t Mean I Don’t Care

Without turning around, Noah answered sarcastically, "You got what you wanted, so why are you asking such a meaningless question?" It seemed like he had no idea what had happened. Sighing, Chloe said, "I know you resent me, but this is important. Before he gets any conclusive evidence, Grandfather will keep you locked up to protect me." "That's unnecessary because I am guilty." Noah stood up and faced her. "Yes, I instructed Eustance to kidnap Jasper. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to call the police on me? Are you going to kick me out of the Sullivan manor to avenge your son?" Chloe stood stock-still and stared at him with unconcealable bewilderment, disbelief, and pain. She could not control the expressions flitting across her face. But strangely, she did not find these feelings unfamiliar as she had experienced them before. Noah inched closer toward her. Biting back the pain he felt, he asked, "Are you thrilled about getting back together with Joseph?" "Wh-Why are you doing this? Is it because I don’t want to marry you?" "What else do you want me to do?" Noah spat as he gripped Chloe by the shoulders. "I spent five years on you. I sacrificed everything I could for you. I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if you asked me to move mountains for you. All I ever wanted was to give you the best. I rejected all the women who threw themselves at me. You're the only one I care for, but you humiliated me on our wedding day and made me the laughingstock of Docwood. Joseph and that bastard child who should be long dead ruined our wedding!" Noah was aggravated by the thought of those disgusting and painful comments on the Internet. They claimed that he would always be worse than Joseph and could never beat Chloe's ex. Such sickening comments were everywhere. Besides, he had no regrets over Desmond discovering what he did. His only regret was not instructing Eustace to kill the little bastard. This was exactly like what happened five years ago in the delivery room. His carelessness gave Xavia the chance to take that child away and let the latter survive. Otherwise, all this trouble could have been avoided. Slap! Chloe slapped Noah's face. "Shut up!" she yelled as she shuddered from anger. Chloe had felt guilty toward Noah and wanted to make it up to him, but she also wished to end this ill-suited relationship as soon as possible. However, Desmond had prohibited it. But it was her fault as she had been hesitant and indecisive, consequently hurting Noah. She had wanted to do as Desmond had asked, to have a happy love and a nice family, but she found it impossible. When she heard from Joseph that their child was still alive, she knew that she could no longer fool herself. Even with the promise of living a comfortable and free life with Noah, she could never forget about her child. Thus, letting Noah down was an inevitability, but Chloe had a plan though. After seeing a psychologist and recovering, she would transfer half of her shares to Noah. It was the only practical advantage that she could give him.
