Chapter 29 You’re Married?
Ten minutester, Chloe could not bear the cold any longer and weakly tugged at Joseph’s sleeve,
laughing dryly. “I’m getting kind of cold now. Can we close the windows?”

As a gentleman, Joseph replied, “Why of course.”
He immediately had Patrick close the car windows.
The flicker of amusement that crossed his eyes did not escape Chloe’s notice. She realized he was
toying with her, but she had no other choice but to clench her teeth and bear it, in light of the fact that
she was wearing the dress he had bought for her.
Harold was waiting outside the house with his cane in hand, anxiously looking out for them. The car
stopped outside therge mansion that was as grand as a castle, and Chloe felt something was amiss
when she saw it.
Although Jake’s uncle was wealthy, his family was not considered one of the wealthiest in Aesper. How
could they afford such an extravagant estate worth billions while he was just a financial analyst?
She asked in a low voice, “Is this your ancestral home?”
Joseph answered, “Yeah, my ancestors have lived here for five generations.”
“Oh…” Chloe nodded, understanding how they had obtained the mansion.
Turns out Joseph’s ancestors were rich. That was how they had obtained this mansion. Several
hundred years ago, the value of real estate in Aesper had not skyrocketed yet. Back then, a lot of
people made a fortune from evictionpensation, so their future generations were able to spend
money without worry.
“Ah, herees my beloved granddaughter-inw!” Harold eximed joyfully when he saw Chloe, his
eyes crinkling into a kind, happy expression.
Chloe handed him the gift that Joseph had bought in advance and said with a smile, ‘ Grandpa, this is
for you. I hope you’ll like it.”
“Of course, I’ll love it.” Harold beamed, but his expression changed suddenly when he saw the state of
Chloe’s ankle. He angrily pointed a finger at Joseph and scolded, “You little rascal. Did you bully
Coco?!”
“You’re getting old and your eyes aren’t working as well as they used to, Grandpa. If I wanted to bully
her, it would be much more serious than this,” Joseph replied.
How did she hurt her leg then?”
Judging by how big the bruise was, it could not have been caused by a simple fall.
“Grandpa, it was me. I was on my phone at night and identally fell into a ditch,”
Chloe quickly exined.
“Really?” Harold asked, his voice thick with suspicion.
“Really!” Chloe said. As she made up the borate story, she held onto his arm and they walked
inside.
“Grandpa, what are we having for dinner tonight? I’m getting hungry.”
“You can have whatever you want. Just inform the chefs. They can make anything from a full-course
meal to whatever you desire,” he replied.
“Grandpa, you’re so kind to me. It’s my good fortune to have married into the Whitman family,” Chloe
said, ttering Harold.
It was not entirely untrue. Based on what she knew, apart from Joseph’s strange temper, everything
else about him and his family was top-notch. It really was fortunate that she could marry into such a
family.
Unfortunately, their rtionship was based on a contract.
Harold stopped in his tracks, his old eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Chloe. Did you just say
marry into the Whitmans? That means you two are married?”
Chloe paused, quickly covering her mouth as she looked toward Joseph for help.
‘Oh gosh, I’ve let the cat out of the bag. Joseph hasn’t told his family about our marriage yet!’
Joseph turned his head to look at Chloe, his expression unchanged. “Let’s talk about itter.”
From the exchange, Harold knew the marriage was true, and he became extremely excited, feeling as
though he had be ten years younger. It seemed to him that Joseph had inherited some of his old
charms-not wasting any time and putting a ring on it once finding someone he liked.
‘Not bad. Not bad at all,’ he thought.
In the hall, Harold dered, “I don’t care. You have one year to give me a great- grandson!”
