Chapter 64 Tossed in Together
Meanwhile, the Mann Family had also received the Andersons’ invitation. Queenie immediately pulled Joseph upstairs to the second floor when he arrived.
Today, Joseph was dressed up to the nines, but his outfit still didn’t do anything to change his usual demeanor. The expensive suit he had on made him look like a greasy young man.
“Miss Anderson, you must have a reason for bringing me up here, right?” Joseph asked with a smile. He had attended William’s birthday party today primarily because Nicole would be here. Although Nicole did not believe the results of the paternity test, once they repeated the test this upcoming weekend, Joseph would still be confirmed as Hayden’s father. There was no escaping from the truth.
The elders of the Mann Family had begun to treat him nicer because of this. Even his own father praised him.
Queenie grinned coldly on the inside when she saw how Joseph brimmed with energy, but she still feigned a kind tone. “My sister wanted you to come. She said she has something to tell you here.”
“Nicole asked for me?” Excitement peeked through Joseph’s voice.
Queenie nodded. “That’s right. Nicole told me to inform you to wait here. She’ll be coming over in a bit.”
Joseph was ecstatic. The reason why Nicole would ask for him had to be because of her son. He hastily said, “Okay, I’ll wait for her here!”
Queenie’s smile became even more pleased when she saw the delighted look on his face. She nodded. “I’ll take my leave for now. Please wait here for a moment. Nicole will be here soon.”
Queenie then exited the room. There was an aromatherapy oil—with something extra added to it—being diffused into the room. Queenie was certain that Joseph would feel its effects once the door was closed.
With that thought, he began to act on his impulses. At first, Joseph even politely asked, “Miss Nicole, are you okay? You seem to be in pain, judging from your expression. Do you want me to help you?”
Nicole lowered her head as she bent over on the ground, as though she was doing her best to hold something back.
Joseph swallowed. Seeing how Nicole neither answered nor refused him, his lecherous side reared its head. He reached out to touch her, but before he could make contact with Nicole, she suddenly lifted her head. Those misty eyes had cleared up, and there was even a mocking look in those clear eyes of hers.
Joseph was angered by Nicole’s gaze. This woman is looking down on me!
“Quit the act already, Nicole. You crawled into my bed five years ago certainly because of money. Aren’t you waiting for a man, since you look so seductive now? I’ll fulfill your wish!” he said cruelly, smiling all this while.
