Chapter 35
Chloe was no longer in the mood to go to the hotel, so she changed her course and headed home.
Jordan was silent for a long time, and finally could not help but ask, “Young Mistress, Joseph… does she still not know that you are Thorp family’s daughter?”
“Yes.” Chloe replied in a low voice, her expression sickly.
Jordan understood. No wonder she had to find a substitute to meet Joseph for her last time.
“Jordan, I didn’t mean to hide it from you…”
“I understand.”
Chloe lifted her eyes in shock.
“Who would want to bring up something that hurts their hearts?”
“I was just worried about you. I was worried that if Director Thorp knew about this matter, his heart would ache and he would feel sad.” Jordan clenched the steering wheel tightly, the veins on his hands bulging out, and his eyes were moist.
This was the young lady whom their family loved dearly in their hearts, yet she was actually ruined by that bastard Joseph.
If Director Thorp knew it, he was going to chop him up with a fifty–meter–long saber.
“It’s only a moment to hide it. Besides, I have experienced a failed marriage. I just want to be beautiful alone and don’t want to marry anymore.”
Chloe closed her eyes and thought of Joseph’s words that were like knives. She smiled lightly and said, “It’s really boring.”
“If you don’t tie the knot, I won’t either,” Jordan said earnestly and sincerely.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t… You should marry. You are my secretary, not a convert to Buddhism.” Chloe waved her hand in panic.
Jordan smiled embarrassedly, feeling bitter in his heart.
He knew that he was not worthy, but he was willing to silently protect him for the sake of the light in his heart.
“Young Mistress, why… why did you marry Joseph?”
Chloe narrowed her eyes, her expression bleak, and all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.
“Sorry, I was the one who spoke too much. I won’t ask now…”
“When I was eleven, I participated in the climbing activity held by the school. I lost the sapphire pendant that my mother left me on the mountain.”
“I ignored the teacher’s obstruction and went up the mountain alone to search. I walked all the roads I walked, but I could not find it. As a result, not only did I lose my way, but I also encountered a strong typhoon. I was trapped in the deep mountains and my mobile phone had no signal. I almost died.”
“At that time, Joseph just used the summer break to be a ranger in the National Forest Park. He led the team to go up the mountain to search for me regardless of the extreme weather. In the end, he found me behind a rock, who was almost frozen…”
Chloe spoke in a gentle and pleasant voice, telling the past of her entire youth.
“I opened my eyes and saw Joseph in his mountaineering attire. His handsome face was wet, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were shining. He was even more charming than the stars.”
“Great… it’s really great! Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, let me will carry you down the mountain!”
When they first met, it was a glimpse of love that planted the seed of an enduring and profound love in Chloe’s heart.
“On the way back, he had been carrying me. He was afraid that I would fall asleep and kept telling me jokes that were not funny. His standard of telling jokes was really bad.” Chloe calmly recalled, and the corner of her lips slightly rose.
“Little sister, what’s your name?”
I
“If you don’t answer, then I’ll call you Raya. Raya’s person, Raya’s mouth, Raya’s nose…”
“I, I’m not Raya!!”
“Little girl, you are not other men’s Raya, but you are mine.”
“Why? Big brother?”
“I was afraid that a bad boy would take advantage of you, silly girl.” Chloe’s breathing was a little disordered, and her heart was beating fast. Joseph was only seventeen years old that year. He was not as tall and strong as he was now, but he gave her an irreplaceable sense of security. Later, they almost fell off the cliff. It was Joseph who protected her in his arms and risked his life to save her.
Later, Joseph disappeared in her life for three years, and she saw him on TV again. He attended charity with the people of Sawle Group.
From then on, Chloe launched her “Idol Pursuit Operation“.
When she heard that he was on the battlefield, she resolutely became a national doctor, just to fight with him in a place he could not see.
She used to love him about everything, but now she was disheartened and could no longer love.
Chloe smiled bitterly. It turned out that there would be a day when the thirteen years of infatuation would disappear.
Jordan listened quietly. In his shock, he felt even more regret.
“But Jordan, if you talk about hate, I really can’t hate him.”
Chloe stretched out her hand and felt the wind pass between her fingers, just like a love that she could not grasp.
“I was willing to love Joseph. I have no regrets.”
Joseph was in a trance all the way back to Mazeland Manor, and her mind was buzzing like 10,000 flies flying.
His chest felt like there was a huge rock pressing down on it, blocking his breath.
Raya’s gaze when she finally looked at him was one of disappointment and resentment, as if they had been old enemies.
Why was his heart empty?
It was as if something important to him had been lost.
As soon as Joseph entered the study, Aunt Gill followed him with an unhappy expression.
“Young Master, Miss Brown’s car is already downstairs. You should go downstairs to welcome her.”
“No.”
“Why?!” Aunt Gill asked.
‘Oh my god, it’s rare for Young Master to have such an aura!‘
‘Even a prodigal son can behave like this?‘
“I know why she came to find me.”
“Go down and tell her that if it’s for Miller, don’t waste her energy here. Brown family must be in a mess right now. Let her go back and spend more time with her parents. After two days of peace, I will go to see her again.” Joseph sat on the sofa, his eyes a little empty.
“If she insists on not leaving…”
“Then, let her be.” Joseph took a deep breath and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
He was thinking about the phrase “Useless ex–husband“.
Damn it! How could he be useless? From NôvelDrama.Org.
She, Raya, had never used him before, so how could she know that he was useless?
Aunt Gill replied with a smile. She secretly gave the young master a thumbs up and hurriedly left the study room.
Joseph frowned, realizing that Aunt Gill truly despised Grace from the depths of her heart. Upon hearing that he was going to drive her away, it felt to her like the New Year had come early.
Aunt Gill arrived at the villa’s entrance and, with a cold stare, fixed her gaze on the anxious Grace.
“Young Master said that he will never care about your family affairs. Don’t wait, go back.”
“Let me go in and see Brother Joseph!”
As she spoke, Grace was about to barge through the door.
However, she was too weak to resist the strong and strong Aunt Gill. Aunt Gill straightened her body and did not even stretch out her hand. Grace fell to the ground, unable to stand firm.
“Ah! You… you dare to push me! I am Brother Joseph’s fiancee! The future Young Madam! How can you be so rude to me?”
“I want to tell Brother Joseph that you’re bullying me! I want him to fire you!” Grace sat on the ground, ashamed and resentful.
“Heh, the future Young Madam, let’s wait for you, Miss Brown, to become the one to show off in front of me. Besides, even if you become the Young Madam, I will never acknowledge your identity.”
“In my heart, the Young Madam is only Miss Lewis. Even if the Young Master and Miss Lewis are now separated, she will always be the only Young Madam I recognize. Others? Stand aside.”
“You!” Grace was so angry that her face was as red as a pig’s liver.
“If Miss Brown wants to complain to Young Master about me, just go ahead. If you really have the means to make Young Master fire me, I would have to thank you. It just so happens that I want to retire, but I still have to worry about an excuse!”
Aunt Gill really wanted to let Joseph come down to see this woman’s fierce face at this moment. Was this still the usual delicate and harmless Miss Brown?
“Brother Joseph! You can’t just watch me die! You must help my brother!” Grace stopped arguing with Aunt Gill and simply knelt on the ground, crying and wiping the ground.
This scene was really disgusting.
Seeing that Joseph did not respond for a long time, Grace began to change her words again.
“Aunt! Aunt! Please help me! Aunt! Uncle!”
“Don’t shout for anymore. Director Sawle went to have dinner with with two young ladies. He won’t be back for a while.”
“Then I’ll wait here until Brother Joseph sees me!”
“It’s going to rain. I have to retrieve my clothes hanging out. You suit yourself.” Aunt Gill looked up at the sky.
Then, Aunt Gill turned around and entered the villa. She also told the servants not to open the door for Grace no matter what.
Grace shouted again for a long time. Her throat was broken, but Joseph still did not appear.
Her face was pale and her heart was flustered. She only felt that Joseph had changed recently and was becoming more and more difficult to control.
Usually, when she came, no matter how busy the man was, he would put down his business to see her. When he saw her cry, he would try his best to coax her. A million sports cars and millions of jewelry were nothing as

long as they could make her happy. That man was never stingy.
But now, how could it be difficult to even meet him once?
Not long after, the dark sky began to rain, and the rain grew heavier and heavier.
Grace made up her mind and decided to use the ruse of suffering. There was her car nearby, but she was still kneeling outside, soaking herself into a drenched chicken. She trembled, as if she could not live.
“Brother Joseph… let me see you…”
“Hmph, inferior means. Only an idiot wouldn’t be able to tell!” Aunt Gill, who was standing in front of the window and watching the show, coldly mocked.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind her.
Aunt Gill turned around and saw Joseph walking towards the entrance with a frown.
