    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 rtionship with Chloe. You have to be mentally prepared.”


    “Chloe agreed to it. She’s magnanimous.”


    Harold red at Joseph, a storm brewing in his eyes. “It’s not that she’s being magnanimous. She’s


    justpromising 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.”


    Harold became tired so he waved for Joseph to leave. “Tell Chloe toe in.”


    Joseph agreed. When he opened the door, he found himself looking into Chloe’s eyes.


    Thetter 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 naturallypete 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,e 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 mmed the door shut behind her.


    Bang!


    The harsh wind hit Joseph’s face as if it were a quiet p. 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.”


    Harold 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?”
