Chapter 785 She Still Cared for Him and the Whitmans
The next morning, the skies were clear and bright. Jasper stood on tiptoes, peering into the distance with a
puzzled expression. "Daddy, why isn't Ms. Chloe here yet?"
They had agreed to meet at nine, but it was now already half-past.
Joseph squinted, trying to hide his disappointment as he replied in a steady tone, "She's not coming."
"Why?" Jaspers little face fell.
Just then, Joseph's phone pinged. Jasper quickly leaned in to read the message. As expected, it was from Chloe.
[Something cup. | won't be able to make it. Sorry.]

He tilted his head in confusion, then looked at his father. "Daddy, how did you know? Did Ms. Chloe tell you
beforehand?"
"No."
"But then why—"
"Kids shouldn't ask so many questions." Joseph's words were icy, but his usually cool lips carried a faint smile.
Jasper blinked, his eyebrows knitting together in skepticism. "Your expression is off. Are you hiding something
from me?" Who in the world would be happy instead of angry after being stood up? Especially his father who was
well-known for his icy countenance.
Joseph ruffled his son's hair, appearing to be in a good mood. "Her not coming is a good thing," he said.
This suggested that this woman still cared for him and the Whitmans. Chloe knew well that once Cyrus learned
about his mother's whereabouts, a storm of blood and grudges would surely befall the Whitmans and Duskfall. It
would undoubtedly beca battle to the death.
Jasper was still too young to comprehend these deep implications. He felt a little disappointed as he looked down
at his tailored suit, thinking, ‘So | dressed up for nothing?’
Though he was let down, he could not bring himself to hate Chloe. Strangely enough, he and his father share a
strict sense of timekeeping and gave no second chances to tardy fellows. But when it cto Ms. Chloe, Jasper
was not as upset.
Joseph swiftly buckled Jasper into the backseat, then called Frieda after starting the car. "She won't be coming
today."
Frieda, who was inside the breakfast joint, took a pause before promptly exiting through the shop's back door
with the breakfast she had bought. She headed toward the nearby residential area, her actions smooth and
natural, just like the other breakfast patrons. Even if Cyrus' people were around, they would not have detected
this inconspicuous incident.

As the days had grown warmer, Chloe had on a pair of jeans and a simple white T-shirt while watering the
flowers in the backyard. Her attire gave off a fresh vibe, and the sunlight shone down, illuminating the fine fuzz
on her face and the particles in the air. The scene looked almost like a painting.
Zoelle emerged from her abode. As she witnessed this scene, her gaze lingered on Chloe. ‘Not bad,” she thought,
‘Noah has good taste.” She then wondered if Joseph's ex-wife was as beautiful as Chloe. Otherwise, he must be
utterly oblivious to have let go of such a breathtaking beauty that was delivered right to his doorstep.
At that moment, Chloe noticed Zoelle's presence. With her watering can in hand, she approached Zoelle. "How's
Vanya doing?"
"Vanya’s okay. She's slowly regaining consciousness and self-awareness, but her recovery is slower than |
expected."
Chloe's eyes brightened at the news. Keeping her composure, she suggested, "Let's take her outside to enjoy the
sun. It might help with her recovery."
