Chapter 238 I Like Aunt Coco!

Furthermore, Chloe discovered herself nestled in the curve of his arm, her legs draping over his well-

defined waist.

Joseph’s brow relaxed as he slept peacefully, unaware of the world around him. Such a sight carried an

inexplicable sense of harmony.

Concerned about arousing Joseph’s anger, Chloe gingerly maneuvered herself out of his embrace,

lifting the covers and tiptoeing to the bathroom.

Soon after, Joseph woke up, and upon discovering her absence from his embrace, a surge of

emptiness engulfed him, prompting a deep frown of discontent to etch across his forehead. He rose

from the bed and passed by the bathroom, where the sound of rushing water reached his ears. A

restless unease tugged at him, causing him to fidget with his collar.

After freshening up, Chloe and Joseph made their way downstairs to the first floor of the house.

On the first floor, Preston and his family were seated on the couch, engrossed in watching television

Several other relatives were also present, and all of them were engaged in casual conversation.

Chloe took the initiative to greet everyone, but Octavia responded with a sneering glance and a

sarcastic remark, “Do you know what time it is? You clearly have no sense of manners.”

Chloe pressed her lips together, realizing that it was indeed inappropriate for her to oversleep on her

first night at the family home. She shyly explained, “I was tired yesterday, so I accidentally. overslept. It

won’t happen again.”

Jonathan chimed in, “Exactly! Absolutely! In ancient times, as a granddaughter-in-law, you would’ve

been expected to rise early and perform ceremonial tea-serving for the elders.”

“In ancient times, you’d have to respectfully address her as ‘Big Sister Chloe,”” Joseph said, his voice

cold.

Perhaps due to his excessive protection of Chloe, Jonathan exploded in anger. “What’s gotten into you,

Joe?! How could you help an outsider and not me? I’m your cousin!”

As if struck by a sudden realization, Joseph raised an eyebrow and continued, “Ah, now I remember. In

ancient times, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to exist. You would’ve been eliminated before

entering this world.”

Octavia’s complexion turned sour, her face shifting between shades of red and white.

Preston’s expression grew stern. “Enough with the jokes. Be mindful of your words, Joe. There are

children here.”

Ginny was blowing bubbles next to them, her big watery eyes gazing at everyone innocently.

Suddenly, Jonathan’s eyes lit up, and he scooped Ginny into his arms. “Ginny, this is your wife. Do you

like her?”

cousin’s

Ever since she was little, Ginny had declared that she wanted to marry Joseph. And after Jane

expressed her liking for Joseph, Ginny would throw a tantrum whenever she saw Jane Now that

Joseph had married Chloe without telling anyone, he was certain that Ginny was likely to create a

commotion when she found out

Tilting her head and blinking her eyes, Ginny said sweetly. “Yes! I do!”

Jonathan thought Ginny misunderstood his question and patiently corrected her “No, I know you like

Joe, but I’m asking if you like his wife, the one standing right in front of you”

Ginny spoke with conviction, her head still nodding. “I like her I like Aunt Coco!”

After all, her sister in law had braided her hair beautifully. Her mother also said that her sister-in- law

was pretty and talented-a perfect match for Joseph.

Chloe smiled warmly “Good girl. I like you too, Ginny

Jonathan was taken aback. He instinctively rubbed his ear, questioning if he had misheard

Ginny, what did you just say?”

Ginny pouted “Jon, your ears are like Grandpa’s Are you getting old and can’t hear us anymore?”
