The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 408

Joseph caught a glimpse of his shirt out of the corner of his eye. He glanced down, then freed a hand to smooth out the fabric, tugging at it slightly.

“You’ve wrinkled my shirt.”

It was just a kiss, but she had reacted so strongly, clutching onto him.

Vivica’s composure had just returned, but his words made her blush all over again. She deliberately ignored the comment, changing the subject. “Do you really like the clothes I buy for you? I see you wearing them often.”

The shirt he had on today was one she had picked out.

Joseph steered with effortless control and tossed out a typically blunt male response. “Aren’t clothes meant to be worn? Or should I frame them and hang them in the closet?”

Just moments ago, as he’d lingered over their kiss, Vivica had felt certain that he must love her deeply, that he was utterly captivated by her. But his words popped that little pink bubble of fantasy, and much of the car's intimate atmosphere evaporated.

This man truly had a talent for obliterating any trace of romance!

Quintina’s voice was soaring, her joy palpable even through the phone.
