Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 732 You’re an Idiot, Chloe

Joseph turned his head and met Jasper's gaze. Seeing the gleam of expectancy in his eyes, he said, "No."

Refusing to back down, Jasper pushed the glass of orange juice toward him. "It's freshly squeezed and very delicious. It'll replenish your Vitamin C."

Joseph leaned back on the sofa and crossed his arms over his chest. "You’ve never been such a good son before."

Jasper was stumped. He began to suspect that Joseph had noticed something. But to Chloe, she felt that Joseph was being unappreciative. After all, Jasper was offering him orange juice. All he had to do was drink it. Why make things difficult for the kid?

"It's okay, Jasper. If he doesn't want to drink it, I will," she said, taking the glass from Jasper and boldly taking a few big gulps. It tasted sweet and sour, but there was an unknown flavor that lingered on her tongue.

Jasper was stunned. "Ms. Chloe…"

Joseph immediately stood up and took the glass from Chloe. He frowned coldly and said, "Why did you drink it?"

"Why can't I ? Jasper got me a glass too," Chloe retorted, displeasure written across her face.

Children needed companionship and encouragement, and their parents needed to be patient with them. She could not believe how heartless he was. Jasper was his son, and he should stop treating him like a subordinate.

Joseph pinched her cheek, feeling both angry and amused. "You haven't changed one bit. You’re still such an idiot."

Chloe slapped his hand away, glaring at him as she replied, "Right. I'm the dummy, and you're the smartest person in the world. Your son is so unlucky to have you as a father."

"Do you really think Jas means well?"

"What do you mean?" Chloe asked.

Joseph turned to Jasper and said, "Tell her what you did."

Jasper lowered his head, feeling uneasy as he tugged his clothes. "I didn't do anything, Daddy…"

"Then what did you hide upstairs?"

"I didn't hide anything…"

"Really?"

With things coming to this point, Jasper could not keep it a secret anymore. He whispered, "Come with me, Daddy..."

Joseph glanced at Chloe and realized that her face was slowly turning red. He sighed and instructed, "Wait here, and don't go anywhere."

"Hmph!" Chloe harrumphed and turned to leave.

Lucas hastily stopped her and said, "Ms. Chloe, you should wait for a bit. In case Mr. Joseph gets angry and beats Mr. Jasper, you need to calm things down. Besides, I just checked, and Mr. Harold hasn't slept yet. Why don't you go upstairs and see him?"

"Joseph has beaten Jasper before?" Chloe felt a pang of pain in her heart. However, she knew that children could be mischievous at times, and lecturing them once in a while was fine.

Lucas was just trying to keep Chloe here. He knew Joseph would not beat Jasper, so he explained, "No, no… Mr. Joseph doesn't scold Jasper often. Although he's cold toward others, he treats Jasper well. Let me take you upstairs to meet Mr. Harold, okay?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Chloe nodded. She still had a lot of questions, after all. She thought Harold had gone to bed when she came, so she did not plan on disturbing him. When she got upstairs, she found Harold enthusiastically watching a matchmaking program for elderly people. When he saw her come in, he peeled his gaze away from the television and beamed at her.

"Look who's here! Come. Sit and chat with me. I can't sleep right now."

"Okay. How have you been feeling recently?"

"I'm doing well. The doctor said I’ll live for another ten years!"

"That's great, Grandpa. By the way, who was the person who injured you five years ago?"

Harold's smile froze for a moment and his expression turned serious. "Chloe, I won't tell you who it was."

Frowning, Chloe blurted out the question that had been bothering her for years. "Was it Xavia?"
