    Chapter 31 Jake’s Aunt


    “Take that card I gave you earlier as your sry.”


    Chloe stared in disbelief at the document lying on the table, her mind nk. Then, a smile slowly


    spread across her face, revealing a row of straight pearly whites.


    “Thanks a bunch, Jojo,” she said.


    ‘Now I can finally use your card without scruples!!


    She suspected that he was concerned that she might be reluctant to spend his money and thus had


    arranged a job for her.


    ‘Looks like he can be pretty sweet and considerate at times.’


    Joseph’s eyebrows went up slightly, and the indifference on his face melted a little as he chuckled. “If


    you want to thank me, just stop making terrible food.”


    “I’ll enroll in a cooking ss!” she said.


    ‘But with your money!’


    Chloe struggled with the documents Joseph had given her due to all the financial jargon written on


    them. After tranting two pages, she leaned against the table and closed her


    eyes, intending to take a quick break, but ended up drifting off to sleep. 1


    She was roused by a furry thing brushing against her face. Initially, she assumed it was her own hair,


    but she soon heard muffled giggles. Quickly lifting her head, she came


    face-to-face with an adorable little face.


    Chloe’s eyes widened as she stared at the little face cautiously, “Who are you?”


    “I’m Joseph’s cousin,” said Ginny Reyes as she scrutinized Chloe. “You’re his wife, right?”


    ‘Joseph’s cousin? Doesn’t this mean this little girl is Jake’s aunt?!’


    Understanding dawned upon Chloe. She asked softly, “How old are you?”


    “I’m five.”


    “That means you’ll be a beautiful youngdy in a few years.”


    Ginny nodded, her bright eyes, and said softly, “Yeah! And when I’m all grown up, I’m


    going to marry Joseph, so I can’t call you sister-inw!”


    “Oh, so you have a crush on Joseph?” Chloe blinked. “But you can’t marry him because he’s your


    family.”


    Upon hearing this, Ginny pursed her lips and tears filled her eyes.


    Chloe’s forehead twitched, and she quickly tried to console the little girl, “Don’t cry. I was just teasing


    you.”


    Ginny looked at her, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked, “So can I marry Joseph in the future?


    Wahh!!!!


    “Well, you can, but…”


    “But what?”


    “But there are many men in the world who are better than your cousin. By the time you grow up,


    Joseph will already be a forty-year-old man.”


    “Wahh! Joseph won’t get old! You’re lying! Wahhh!”

    The corner of Chloe’s lips twitched. Concerned that themotion would draw the attention of the


    adults, she watched helplessly as the little girl’s crying got louder and louder.


    She eventually relented and said, “All right, all right. Joseph won’t grow old. When you’re grown up, you


    can marry him if you want. But you have to promise me that you won’t cry anymore. Joseph doesn’t like


    girls who cry.”


    “What kind of girl does Joseph like then?” Ginny anxiously wiped away her tears and stopped crying.


    Chloe pointed to herself with a serious expression and replied, “Of course, he likes someone pretty and


    mature, just like me.”


    Ginny gazed at Chloe with a serious expression, chewing on her fingernail. She seemed to agree with


    the idea that Chloe was pretty, and she nodded in agreement. “I want to be as pretty as you.’


    Chloe touched her chin with her delicate, white fingers and said, “Then you have to call me Aunt Coco!”


    After hesitating for a second, Ginny called her out in a sweet voice, “Okay, Aunt Coco!”


    Chloe was speechless.


    Clearly, nothing was more important than bing beautiful. Not even Joseph
