Chapter 714 | Could Have Protected Her
Joseph looked embarrassed. He coughed drily. "Nonsense. I'm just worried about your health."
Jasper was just a child, after all. When he saw his father's stern expression, he obediently put down his fork and
said, "Okay, I'll stop eating. Good night, Ms. Chloe. I'm going to go to bed."
Chloe leaned back in her chair. "Good night. I'll wake you when Grandpa wakes up."
"Okay."
Jasper went upstairs, so only Chloe and Joseph were left in the dining room.
Chloe yawned lazily before glancing at Joseph. She then got up and went toward Harold's room. She had no plans

Joseph remained where he was, scrolling through his phone. He only looked up a few seconds after Chloe walked
into Harold's room. He then glanced at the half-eaten sausage pasta on the table.
His belly failed him and rumbled loudly. After sslight hesitation, he pulled the plate toward him and started
eating the pasta. The taste was familiar—simple food that he had been missing for years. During the countless
nights that he returned hafter working late in the office, he yearned to go back in time, to when the woman
who loved to cook for him still stayed in this cold house.
Joseph ate fast but elegantly and finished the pasta in less than three minutes. As he picked up a napkin to wipe
his lips, he heard someone behind him chuckle.
Chloe crossed her arms and smiled. "And | assumed you'd hate leftovers. How odd!"
Joseph's eyebrow twitched. He lied through his teeth, "I just don't like wasting food."
"Tsk, I'll pretend that | believe you." Chloe shrugged. She beamed as she approached him. "Just tellif you like
the food I cook. I'll cook for you."
He met her gaze. "Stop beating around the bush."
"How about we make a deal? You givethree percent shares for every meal | cook for you."
Joseph laughed out of anger. "That's an exorbitant price and wishful thinking. Was it Noah who taught you to be
so shameless?"
"Hmph! If you don’t want to, forget about it then.” She had other means to regain the majority share of the
resort.
"Did | say no?"
Chloe's brows furrowed. She knew that Joseph had twelve percent more than Noah. If he agreed, she only
needed to cook him four times at most. Everything was going too smoothly, and she could not help wondering if
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit was a trap. After all, Joseph was a cunning man.
"I'll agree to it but not at the rate of three percent to one meal. | want one meal for every one percent instead.”
Chloe pondered over it, then happily agreed to it. Twelve percent meant twelve meals. Even the top chefs of the
world did not enjoy such good treatment. Of course, it was not a loss for her. She immediately drafted an
agreement for Joseph to sign, and he readily signed it.
The contract then cinto effect.
After securing the contract, Chloe returned to Harold's side. Joseph's office desk was in the room too, so they
were once again in the sspace. Chloe got bored while waiting and started
watching svideos. Xavia, who had been missing lately, popped up on her screen. It was a video of Xavia
standing with a man. Curious, Chloe decided to click on it.
"Mr. Kenneth, it’s rumored that you've been trying to gain Ms. Xavia's heart. Are you aware that she has a child?"
"Of course, and | don't think it's a shortcoming. The only thing that bothersis that | didn't meet Vee sooner
and failed to protect her. She has suffered greatly."
