The tall and slim woman in the information sported shoulder-length hair and had delicate facial features. There was a hint of wit in her bright, charming eyes.
Carolina was amazed by the photograph. She could guess how beautiful the woman her husband bedded had been.
"How old is she? Is she married?"
Callum was bewildered and his words failed him. It was Joseph's ex-wife… Chloe was Luciana's daughter!
"Hubby?" Carolina looked at him in confusion.
Callum was filled with pain and gloominess. "I know this woman."
Stunned and confused, she asked, "How?"
"It’s a long story,” he said as he put his phone down.

At the Whitman family home, Jasper was eagerly watching Harold, who was laying in bed. "Daddy, when will Greatpapi wake up?" He wanted to be the first person Harold sees upon waking up.
Joseph had ordered for his office desk to be relocated to Harold’s room. With his head lowered as he flipped through his business documents, he said, "The doctor said tomorrow night at the latest.”
"Ah, I still have to wait until tomorrow then. That’s so long..." Jasper muttered unhappily.
"You have to go to school tomorrow, so go to bed early. It'll be about time for him to wake when classes are done."
Jasper snorted. "Daddy, you forgot again. I'm not going to school tomorrow. The teacher is coming for a home visit."
Chloe said happily, "Really? You're not lying to me, right?"
"Yes, I swear I’m telling the truth. My test results will plummet if I'm lying."
Chloe dwelled on it for a few seconds before swiftly promising to visit. She wanted to talk to Joseph about the resort anyway. She yearned to see Harold and asked him who had hit him and caused him to fall into a coma. She then drove over to the Whitman family home. It had been five years since she had been there but she still remembered the route.
Patrick, who was watering the flowers, spotted Chloe from afar. He was rather old now, so he had bad eyesight. He only realized who it was after watching her for a while.
Feeling surprised, he immediately went upstairs to inform Joseph.
"Mr. Joseph, Ms. Chloe is here."
Joseph stiffened before he stood up and rushed to the yard.
