“Master, I will,” Chloe replied. Joseph nodded and said, “Chloe is both a father and a mother. It’s inevitable that she won’t be able to take good care of Aubrey at times. There will also be times when things get really tough. Jonathan, now that you’ve returned to the country and are staying for a long time, help take care of Aubrey when you’re free. Anna, you too!” “Yes, master,” Annalise and Jonathan replied. “At my age, I don’t want anything more. I just hope the two of you to be good to each other.”
“We’re gonna be good to each other.” “Come, come, come, let’s eat!” Joseph’s expression changed and he instantly became a foodie. Immediately after, Annalise, Chloe, and Jonathan fed more food to him. Joseph said in disdain, “You guys just eat on your own. Now that my plate’s all filled up. Where should I start?” “Haha, master. Just eat already,” Jonathan joked. Joseph glared at Jonathan.
Chloe and Annalise could not help but laugh. Aubrey covered her mouth and giggled. Julian looked at this scene and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He liked this relaxed and happy atmosphere. He looked forward to having many children with Annalise in the future. When they were old and the children returned home to reunite, he figured that this would probably be the scene. Chloe’s phone suddenly rang. She hung up nervously, smiled, and quickly ate.
After a while, her phone rang again. She quickly hung up and turned it off. Jonathan was surprised. “What’s going on? You owe someone money?” Chloe smiled unnaturally. “No, no.” “Mm, it’s good that you’re not. Let me know if you do owe someone money,” Jonathan said. “Yes, yes. John, don’t worry. I have money.” “Mom, is it dad? He said he’s coming to get me to the amusement park today.” The five-year-old Aubrey’s clear and bright eyes were filled with anticipation.
Upon hearing that, Joseph, Annalise, and Jonathan looked at Chloe in unison. Chloe felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at like that. She bit her lip and explained, “I… I just thought that if he wanted to accompany Aubrey, there was no reason to not let him. After all, she’s his daughter. Master, don’t worry. There will definitely not be anything else between him and me.” Joseph said, “Let’s eat then.” This matter could not be said in front of Aubrey. Although the child was young, she was sensitive. “Yes, sure,” Chloe replied. Everyone ate.
Annalise saw that Chloe still looked a little uncomfortable, so she silently filled Chloe’s plate. After dinner, Joseph asked Helena to take care of Aubrey. He called Jonathan, Annalise, and Chloe to the backyard. In the backyard, Joseph asked Chloe very sternly, “What are you thinking?” “Master, I-I definitely won’t have anything to do with him. I just feel that Aubrey is a little pitiful. No matter what, he’s still Aubrey’s father. If he still wants to accompany Aubrey, I see no reason to not let him,” Chloe explained. “You really think so?” Joseph asked.
Seeing her daughter’s happiness and anticipation, she did not stop them. “Have you forgotten how he treated you back then?” Joseph was very strict. “Master, I didn’t,” Chloe said sadly. There was no way she would forget. She met Ryan when she was 24 years old. After being in love for a few months, she thought she had found a lifemate. Ryan excitedly brought her to take wedding photos and meet her parents to prepare for their wedding. She then had a physical relationship with him.
After she got pregnant, she was in a hurry to get married. Ryan was also very happy. He looked like he was looking forward to the child. However, he did not mention marriage again. She could not help but urge him. Ryan said that he would be on a business trip for half a year. He said that he was in a hurry to go on a business trip and would get married after half a year She had waited for half a year, and her belly was already bulging.
At that time, Joseph had already asked her to stop working, to return to the village. She was very stubborn and insisted on waiting for Ryan at Jadeborough. Coincidentally, the pharmaceutical company gave her a huge sum of money. She was thinking about getting married and having a child soon. She wanted to see a bigger house. It would be best if it had a front and back yard. It would be more convenient for the child to move around in the future. She followed the agent to look for her dream house. That day, they were looking at a villa area.
After looking at the house, she saw a man hugging a woman and kissing her passionately. At first, she felt that these people did not care about where they were. Later on, she thought that it might be because the man couldn’t control himself when he was in love. When she took another look, she felt that the man looked very much like Ryan, who was on a business trip. Suddenly, the man turned around. The man was indeed Ryan. When she saw Ryan, she was filled with anger and felt her stomach tighten.
