Chapter 327 Three–Month Buffer Period
The young
man lifted his head and glanced at her, his eyes filled with the warmth of spring. “Ms.
Chloe, are you here to visit Mr. Harold too?”
“Yes, are you here alone?”
“Yeah, the elders of my family are busy.”
“Could you do me a favor then?”
“Sure. Just tell me what you need, Ms. Chloe.”
“First, go inside and check if there’s anyone else in the ward. If it’s empty, send me a message and I’ll come in.”
A smile gradually appeared at the corner of Noah’s mouth. “By ‘other people,‘ do you mean Mr. Joseph?”
“Yes…”
“Okay, Ms. Chloe. Wait for my message.”
“You don’t have to call me Ms. Chloe. You can just call me Coco, or since you’re younger than me, Sister Coco. Of
course, I don’t mean to take advantage of you or anything!”

bumped into him from behind. The little boy quickly apologized to Noah, saying, “I’m sorry, big brother. Please say
it’s okay!”
…It’s okay.”
A speechless Chloe sighed and handed a wet wipe to Noah. “Here. Use this to wipe yourself down.”
The ice cream stain was on Noah’s back, making it a bit difficult for him to reach. Seeing this, Chloe took the
initiative and said, “Let me do it.” She bent down slightly and used the wet wipe to clean the stain.
Noah turned to look at Chloe. Her profile had a gentle contour, and after being held captive by Calvin for a few
days, the baby fat on her cheeks seemed to have disappeared, revealing a slender oval–shaped face. Her fair and
beautiful skin had a natural radiance

It had been a while since someone had been this close to him, and his eyes flickered for a moment.
“Okay, all clean now, but it needs some time to dry. It’s still wet.”
“No problem,” Noah said, smiling. “Thank you, Coco.”
Chloe found a chair in the corridor and sat down, waiting. Five minutes after Noah went inside, he sent her a
message, indicating that Joseph was not present. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later, Noah emerged from the ward, and Chloe stepped inside. Harold lay weakly on

the hospital bed, his frail face appearing paler than ever, and his lips tinged with a hint of purple. His condition
seemed to have deteriorated significantly.
Tears welled up in Chloe’s eyes. “Grandpa…”
Harold paused for a moment, looked toward the door, and grinned. “Little girl, you’re here.”
A smile tugged at Patrick’s lips, relieved to see Chloe. It seemed that the news deliberately spread by the media
had succeeded in bringing her to his side.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling? What did the doctors say?”
“The same old problem. As long as I don’t get worked up, I’ll be fine.”
Feeling a pang of guilt, Chloe set the food on the table. “I prepared this for you. If you haven’t
eaten, how about a few bites?”
“How could I settle for just a few bites of the food made by my wonderful granddaughter–in–law? I’ll take a picture
and send it to that brat. He’ll be so envious.”

“That’s precisely why I have to tell him.”
“…Grandpa, I can’t be your granddaughter–in–law. It’s my unfortunate loss, but if you don’t mind, I can come and
visit you from time to time.”
Harold’s expression softened, and he said in a serious tone, “You suddenly got together with that brat and then
suddenly broke up. Even a normal person’s heart couldn’t bear it, let alone mine.”
Chloe disregarded his words and silently lowered her head, appearing like an obedient child waiting to be lectured.

Harold could not bring himself to blame her either. Suddenly, a sly gleam twinkled in his eyes as he suggested, “You
don’t have to reconcile with that brat, but don’t break up so hastily either. I’m growing old, at least grant me a little
buffer period.”
“Huh?” Chloe was taken aback.
“How about a three–month cooling–off period? If, after that time, you still want to break interfering.”
