Chapter 542 Giving Him the Note
Chloe, who was standing outside the study, quietly lowered her head and bit her lip bitterly.
Harold coughed several times. “Fine, whatever you want. But I have to remind you that this child will affect your
relationship with Chloe. You have to be mentally prepared.”
“Chloe agreed to it. She’s magnanimous.”
Harold glared at Joseph, a storm brewing in his eyes. “It’s not that she’s being magnanimous. She’s just
compromising because she doesn’t have a choice out of her love for you.”
“I’ll be nicer to her and won’t let her down.” Gloominess crept up Joseph’s demonically handsome face. He
pondered over it seriously. “We’ll have our own child in the future. It isn’t bad for the two children to grow up
together.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarold became tired so he waved for Joseph to leave. “Tell Chloe to come in.”
Joseph agreed. When he opened the door, he found himself looking into Chloe’s eyes.
The latter was just standing outside.
Chloe shot him a cold gaze, her face was full of displeasure. She hated the situation of having the same father but
different mothers. It might be fine when the children were young, but when they grew up and started to gain a
sense of autonomy, they would naturally compete to be favored. It would be hard to maintain fairness.
She could devote her whole heart to Xavia’s child because she was well aware of this.
“Sweetie, come in.” Harold stuck his head out and waved at Chloe. He said kindly, “I have something for you.”
Chloe suppressed her frustration, straightened her back, and brushed past Joseph. She walked into the study as she
beamed. She then slammed the door shut behind her.
Bang!
The harsh wind hit Joseph’s face as if it were a quiet slap. With two hands in his pocket, he stared gloomily at the
tightly closed door.
Harold fished out a faded envelope. “This is the note Joseph’s father left behind. I think it’s time for you to have it.
I’ll only live for another few years at most.”
It was hard to recover from organ failure, and he did not know if he could be cured. But he had entered his golden
years, and he was fine regardless of how many more days he had left.
“Grandpa, please don’t say such things. Listen to the doctor and actively cooperate with the doctor during the
treatment. You’ll recover.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll hold on. I’m still waiting for you to give me a great-grandchild.”
Chloe unconsciously touched her belly. “But Grandpa, it’s not that I don’t want to get pregnant. It’s Joseph. He
doesn’t want another child for the time being.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarold was stunned before he sighed. “He’s been under immense pressure recently. He has to handle both the
Whitman Group and Fairlight. And there’s the matter regarding Fleurette too… It’ll be fine after a while.”
“Yes, I know.”
Chloe left with the note. She hesitated for a while and wondered if she should open it and read it. After wrestling
with her feelings for a few minutes, she decided not to open it. She went to the bedroom and put it on the bedside
table beside Joseph.
“Your father’s note.”
Joseph had long known why Harold called Chloe into the study. His fingertips trembled as he looked at the envelope
that was so close to him.
Chloe took a few steps toward him and gazed down at him. “Should I open it for you?”
“Are you curious?”
“A little. Aren’t you?”
He had been yearning to read this note for more than a decade.
Joseph ignored her question and instead interrogated her in a hoarse voice, “Why did you show me such a sullen
expression at the door of the study earlier?”
