Chapter 220 An Obsession Stemming From Unconditional Love

Lucas hesitated for a moment before handing over the tea tray in his hands. “I made two cups of

chamomile. It’s good for soothing nerves.”

Chloe nodded, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Joseph’s voice came from inside, causing a sense of security to wash over her. With him around, she

did not need to be afraid.

Chloe pushed open the door and stepped into the room. Joseph was seated behind his desk, wearing

a sky-blue tie that complemented his youthful and attractive appearance. As he caught sight of Chloe,

his eyebrows arched in surprise.

Calvin also noticed Chloe and immediately straightened his posture, his eyes fixed on her without

blinking as he muttered to himself, “You. You do look a bit like her.”

‘In terms of appearance, the two of them share some resemblance, but it’s mostly their temperament

that’s alike.’

Luciana was only slightly older than Chloe when she passed away. In Calvin’s heart, his beloved

woman had always retained a youthful and enchanting charm, much like the young girl standing before

him now.

“Sir, is there something on my face?” Chloe questioned, feeling a mix of apprehension and confusion

as she noticed Calvin’s intense gaze fixed upon her.

Calvin realized his behavior and quickly averted his gaze, dryly coughing a few times. “I’m sorry. I was

reminded of someone from my past.”

Hearing his explanation and seeing his good attitude, Chloe knew that he had not recognized her.

“Mr. Joseph, the purpose of my visit today is to look for Chloe. If you insist on protecting her and not

allowing her to see me, then I have nothing more to say. But let me remind you, if she mistreats Ava

again in the future, don’t blame me if something happens,” Calvin said firmly.

He resembled an elder seeking justice for the younger generation, rendering Chloe speechless.

‘Sir, please open your eyes wide and take a good look. I’m standing right before you. Your eyesight

may be poor, but it seems your judgment is equally impaired. Every time, it’s Ava who initiates trouble.

So, who is truly mistreating whom?’ she thought.

Joseph rhythmically tapped his fingers on his desk, adopting a casual and composed tone. “I -could

extend the same reminder to you. I wouldn’t mind teaching Ava a lesson on your behalf.”

Calvin’s eyebrows furrowed, his square face looking rather intimidating. “So, you’re determined to

oppose me?”

Most of his business was in Docwood, and although he had some connections in Aesper, they were

undoubtedly inferior to Joseph’s. However, he had no intention of picking a fight today. He was here to

reason.

“It’s you who is unable to tell right from wrong,” Joseph replied sharply.

Calvin’s face turned livid. He instinctively wanted to defend Ava, but he also recalled Noah’s words

about Ava’s personality. He calmed himself and said, “How about you keep an eye on Chloe, and I’ll

watch over Ava? Let’s not bother each other. But if I find that Chloe is deliberately causing trouble, I

won’t be lenient with her.”

Joseph sneered. “Likewise.”

Calvin nodded. He knew Ava had a bad temper, but she would not intentionally bully others.

They had reached an agreement.

After Calvin left, Chloe said, sounding puzzled. “It seems like he really is Ava’s godfather.”

Joseph’s gaze grew deep, and he suddenly said, “Is Ava a few months older than you?”

“Yes.” Chloe gritted her teeth. “Benjamin cheated on my mother while they were still married.”

“Is it possible that Calvin treats Ava so well because of her mother?”

Chloe was taken aback. “It’s possible. Are you meaning to say that Karen might be cheating on

Benjamin, and Ava is actually Calvin’s daughter?”

“I’m not sure. When a man reaches his forties without being married or having children, typically there

are two common possibilities: either he’s gay, or he carries a deep affection for someone in

his heart.”

Chloe seemed to grasp the idea. “So, Calvin loves Ava because of his affection for Karen? In that case,

why didn’t Karen just choose Calvin? After all, Calvin is much wealthier than Benjamin.
