Chloe had heard about this from Joseph, but hearing it from a child gave off a different feeling. Children were naturally innocent and incapable of lying.
At that moment, her impression of Noah changed again.
Jasper was clever and quick-witted, and he knew the progress of Joseph and Chloe's relationship. Since Chloe showed up at Fairlight, it proved her heart was leaning toward his dad.
He rolled his eyes and pinched his thigh, forcing himself to squeeze out two drops of tears. He said pitifully, "Your fiance also told me I should stop looking for you. Ms. Chloe, do you not like me? If you don't like me, I’ll stop bothering you.”
Lucas' eyes widened in shock. Was this the same little devil he knew, now whining and acting cute? Why was he being such an obedient child in front of Ms. Chloe?
“Don’t cry. Of course, I like you.” Chloe's heart melted. She hurriedly bent down to wipe his tears and comforted him softly.
Jasper nodded earnestly. “I knew you wouldn’t, Ms. Chloe, so it must be your fiance who dislikes me.”
Chloe was stunned. She looked up and locked eyes with Joseph. The latter shrugged and said, “Don’t look at me. These are Jas’ heartfelt words.”
"I'm not blaming you." Chloe exhaled a long sigh. "But what should we do now? If Vanya continues to stay in the Sullivan manor, I'm afraid she...she’ll be in grave danger.”
"We can't alert Noah right now."
"Do you expect me to just sit back and wait for something bad to happen?"
"No.” Joseph looked at her deeply. "Tell the truth as it is. Continue suspecting that our child is not dead. This is the only way. No matter what you do, it’ll be justified."
Chloe seemed to understand. "I see. So we can't show our hand right now?"
"No. Firstly, there's no concrete evidence. Second, Zoelle is a strange one. If we take Vanya away, she probably won't cooperate. Lastly, by holding our cards close, we maintain an advantage. This is an opportunity to pressure Vanya into revealing the truth."
