The Rise of Dragon Temple novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

“How could she?! What a scandal!!!” Watching Estella drive away, Yahir stamped his feet with fury, and the muscles on his face were trembling. Then, he took a deep breath and looked at Joseph. “Don’t worry. We won’t take the car. Later, I will ask Estella to return it to you…” Hearing this, Joseph stayed silent for a while before he looked up at Yahir. “Mr. Mooney, can’t you give us your blessings?” Upon listening to Joseph’s question, Paige quivered and looked at Yahir cautiously. Yahir snorted coldly and responded, “Joseph, you are also a father now, and you have a daughter! So, let me ask you in return. How will you feel if Chloe faces the same fate as Paige in the future?” With that, Joseph fell silent, bowed deeply, and apologized sincerely,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)  “I’m sorry.” Just then, Paige knelt in front of Yahir with tears and pleaded bitterly, “Dad, it’s not Joseph’s fault. He was seriously injured and was out of consciousness at that time. What’s more, he was battling in the foreign region throughout these years. So, he

didn’t know anything. Chloe needs a father, and I believe he will take good care of Chloe and me for the rest of his life. If you are angry, you can reproach me. It’s all my fault. Sorry…”

At this time, Chloe also ran over, grabbed Yahir’s thigh, and anxiously apologized to him, “Grandpa, Grandpa! Please don’t blame Mom and Dad, okay? It’s all my fault. I am the one who called Dad and asked him to come back. I’m sorry, Grandpa…” When Chloe hugged Yahir, he was surprised, and his heart instantly softened. Right away, he squatted down, carried her, and said gently, “It’s alright, Chloe. Go ahead and play with Aunt Serena. I promise you I won’t blame them, alright? Go…” Following that, Serena ran to Yahir anxiously and explained with a complicated expression, “Dad, no matter what, Joseph is now back, and because he saved Paige in Aglela, the military expelled him. It’s true! So, Dad, can you please believe in him? I can guarantee you that he will be able to take care of Paige and Chloe. You have my words…” Without a word, Yahir handed Chloe to Serena. When Serena and Chloe went far, Yahir sighed deeply. He knew his daughter well, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) and he also believed that Joseph didn’t know anything. In fact, the moment Serena mentioned that the military expelled Joseph because he returned on his own accord, Yahir started to have trust in him. After a long while, Yahir sighed deeply again and looked at Joseph. “Even if you don’t know anything, Paige’s life was destroyed because of you. So, don’t you think

I deserve to be mad at you?” Earnestly, Joseph nodded and acknowledged, “You’re right. It’s my mistake indeed. But I promise you that I will take good care of Paige and Chloe for the rest of my life! Also, on the 15th of next month, I will hold a wedding for Paige, and I will never let her suffer again. Please give me a few more days to fulfill that.” Hearing this, Yahir let out another heavy sigh. The next moment, he stared at Joseph and replied, “I know Paige well. You can never imagine how she lived these five years. If you lie to me, I won’t mind. But if you lie to her, she might lose the will to live. Do you understand?”

To Joseph, Yahir’s words were like a bolt from the blue. With that, he promised in a more earnest tone, “I won’t. Even if it cost my life, I won’t!” “Alright. Since things have turned out this way, I will say no more. But listen carefully. If you dare to bully her in the future and let her suffer, I will fight you till my death!” Yahir warned sternly. Joseph nodded heavily. Then, Yahir looked at Paige with a complicated expression and sighed deeply, “Paige, please don’t blame your mother. She has high hopes for you. And actually, she doesn’t hate Chloe too. You have no idea how many toys she has kept in her bedroom. She told me that she picked them somewhere or got them from a shopping mall event, but I know she bought them for Chloe. It’s just that she is stubborn. For the past few years, people kept talking behind her back and looked down on her. So, she somewhat resents you, Chloe, and Joseph. Alas. Let’s give her some time…” “I know.” Paige said as she weeped. Following that, Yahir left while Joseph wiped Paige’s tears and comforted, “Don’t worry, Paige. Please give me some time. I will prove to you that I will fulfill all of my promises and never let you down for the rest of my life…” With a nod, Paige gazed at Joseph. “Joseph, I told you my choice last night. Since I have made my decision, I will never regret it. You will be a good father and husband for sure. I believe in you…” “Of course. Thank you.” There was a hint of pain in Joseph’s eyes. Paige shook her head and took a few deep breaths. After she recovered, she uttered, “I’m sorry. My mom took the car you’ve just bought, and I don’t think she will return it…” Upon hearing that, Joseph chuckled, “It’s okay. This is just a small matter. Since today is your first day returning to work, don’t be late. Besides, if a car can reduce your mother’s anger, then it’s worth it…” “Okay…” Paige bit her lip and glanced apologetically at Joseph. Then, she hailed a taxi and went to work.
