The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 416

"I always thought actions speak louder, and more practically, than words."

Empty promises and flowery language with no follow-through could hardly be called love or affection. True love was the uncontrollable urge to be good to someone. When you saw delicious food, you wanted to take her to eat it. When you saw something fun, you wanted to take her to experience it. When you saw beautiful clothes or expensive bags, you wanted to buy them for her.

Joseph had never been in a relationship before, but he believed this was how it was supposed to work. Yet this silly woman in front of him was still hung up on the fact that he hadn't confessed with words.

Vivica listened to him, gazed into his deep, enchanting eyes, and nodded thoughtfully. "You're right, Joseph has always been a man of action. Your ability to solve problems is top-notch," she couldn't help but praise.

Joseph's smile widened.

But Vivica immediately followed up, "But... with your background and everything, why would you like me? We're not exactly a perfect match on paper, and we haven't even known each other that long. Was it love at first sight?"

That was the only explanation she could think of.

Joseph's smile faltered for a second. Why did he like her? He couldn't quite put it into words. But there was one very important reason: the child. The moment he learned Chaim was his biological son, his feelings for Vivica had inexplicably changed. But he couldn't tell her that.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Vivica tilted her head, noticing the subtle shift in his expression.

Joseph's gaze flickered away. "Liking someone is just liking them. There doesn't have to be a reason."

"So it wasn't love at first sight?"

"Not exactly," Joseph replied, his straightforward mode switched back on.

Vivica felt a strange pang in her heart. But the man had already turned to open his door, walking around the front of the car to her side and pulling her door open.
