Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Yeah.”
“I have a feeling that Jane may be telling the truth.”
“Are you suggesting that Xavia really is pregnant?”
“It’s possible.”
Nathan’s playful tone left his voice as he said in a serious manner, “This isn’t funny.”
Lifting his head slightly, Gabriel spoke with a voice tinged with amusement, “We can find out by
checking the surveillance footage. If she has been there, there will definitely be traces left behind.
Joseph lapsed into silence. If Xavia was indeed pregnant, he would have to give her proper status.
This was something he never wanted to face or for to happen. He also did not want to delve any
further into the investigation either.
Everyone present was shrewd enough to understand Joseph’s thoughts, and they unanimously
decided not to pursue the topic any further, save for Gabriel.
Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Gabriel sent someone to investigate the matter at Cloude
Hospital after the outing. Within a week, he received the surveillance footage from the
obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.
After watching it for a while, he grew impatient with the monotonous content. He decided to assign the
task to two other individuals, instructing them to inform him promptly if they discovered any sightings of
Xavia. Three days later, the two had quickly finished watching all the footage and to their surprise, they
did indeed spot Xavia in the recordings. They promptly
informed Gabriel about it.
Upon seeing the screenshots from the footage, Gabriel pondered for a few seconds. However, hechose not to disclose this information to Joseph. Xavia’s medical records were scrubbed the day after
Jane’s conversation with Chloe. In other words, she had someone assisting her, so he decided
not to make a move yet to avoid potential threats.
Chloe diligently prepared homemade pet snacks, taking advantage of when Joseph was not

this several times and living together with Joseph for over half a year, Chloe quickly figured out
the general pattern of when he was not home.
On this particular day, she finished her work and arrived at Joseph’s house. Just as she expected,
Joseph was not home. She proceeded to divide the snacks between Toto and Oreo. With frantically
wagging tails, the furry companions enjoyed their treats, bringing a sense of joy and fulfillment to
Chloe
If Joseph and Chloe had not broken up, she would have loved to prepare daily snacks for these two
little creatures, especially for Oreo. Oreo always wore a cautious and endearing gaze, seemingly
attuned to its owner’s moods. Whenever it sensed any trace of unhappiness, it would immediately
approach for comforting cuddles, evoking a sense of compassion within Chloe. She believed it
must have endured hardships in the past.
“Bye–bye now. I’ll come to visit again in a few days,” Chloe said, picking up the flask placed on the
nearby table.
She still had to visit Harold at the hospital before proceeding to the banquet venue Noah had
arranged for. It was rumored to be an exclusive event hosted by Exotic Star with even Desmond
among the attendees, along with numerous other prominent business figures. She saw it as an
opportunity to attract potential investments for her own company, and naturally, such an
invitation was impossible for her to decline.
The hospital courtyard was a picturesque scene, with fallen maple leaves scattered around while the
brisk autumn wind carried a chill. Chloe made her way toward the inpatient area and gently rapped onnovelbin
the door of the ward. But this time, it was not Patrick who opened the door, but Joseph.
Their eyes locked in a moment of connection. Joseph stood before her, clad in a sleek black
trench coat, his face an exquisite masterpiece crafted by Heaven. He leaned back with his arm against
the doorframe, a hint of sarcasm evident in his brows and eyes. However, no one could tell
if he was amused, angry, or something else altogether.
Chloe paused for a moment, calmly ignoring him, and walked toward Harold.
A chilling smirk played at the corners of Joseph’s mouth. How was this dumbo not feeling caught in theact at all? Did she really think that he would not notice her avoiding him for the past few
days?
“Grandpa, I made you some butternut squash soup,” Chloe said, serving a bowl to Harold.

Ta delicious You make the best soups.” praised Harold generously. “Do you have any plans to today?
This punk is joining an event hosted by Exotic Star later, and he happens to need a

Chloe was stunned for a moment I’m sorry. Grandpa I too am attending the event. After all. I the
ambassador of Exotic Star and they invited me as well
When Joseph heard her words, an inscrutable shadow cast over his eyes
“Oh right. In that case, why not go together? Harold said, oblivious to his grandson’s changing
demeanor. After all, he simply wanted to create more opportunities for the two of them to interact by
any means necessary
Chloe managed a forced smile, concealing her inner sigh. It appeared that evading Josephi tonight
was an impossibility
Before leaving Harold urged Joseph, “You should go too and gave her a ride there
Not wanting to disregard Harolds goodwill, Chloe obediently agreed, However, as they walked a
short distance away from the ward she paused and turned to the man by her side mate my
