Chapter 0558 Always Innocent

Joseph Thompson's mouth curved into a warm, sunlit smile, as soothing as the winter sun, "She came to find me, wanting me to plead with Old Master Richardson and Minister Richardson tomorrow on her behalf. She wanted to claim that canceling the engagement is my fault, but I didn't agree. So, she grabbed my wrist and didn't want to let me in the gate – that's when you saw us."

After speaking, he lifted Jaylene's lower jaw with his hand, gently rubbing her petite jaw with his thumb. He then tenderly asked, "So, are you jealous?"

Jaylene turned her head away, not looking at him and remaining silent.

Joseph turned her head back towards him, lowered his forehead to hers, and softly whispered with a gentle laugh, "Don't worry, I've never touched her. You don't have to let this ruin your mood."
