Chapter 562 You Have to Let Chloe Go

Left with no other option, she logged into her email with her password. Emily did not often check her

emails, but this was Chloe's only choice now.

She emailed Emily about her situation and asked the latter to get her out. However, it had been

many months since Emily had checked her email and did not see Chloe's message.

Chloe had always given Emily a heads-up, so she did not find it strange when Chloe did not contact

her for a few days. She just assumed it was Chloe avoiding Joseph's harassment.

Days passed, and Chloe did nothing else but sleep and eat while locked in the room. Joseph had

not appeared since the day they fell out with each other. She touched her belly and felt that it was a

good thing that he did not come back. If he approached her, he would find out that she was

pregnant. Then, she would never be able to leave him.

When Chloe thought that she would never get a reply from Emily, a notification sound came from

the laptop. A friend request popped up on the website.

[Hey Coco, it’s Noah. Why did you move out of Oceanic Residence? I called you, but your phone is

turned off. Are you in some kind of trouble?]

Joseph got a call from Harold at seven in the evening.

"How could you lock Chloe up at home, you fucking bastard?! You drive me mad! Cough, cough,

cough!"

Gloominess flashed across Joseph's face. "Who told you?"

"It's none of your business. Is it true?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Harold felt it hard to breathe as he massaged his temples. "So you did lock her up. How many days

has it been? Joseph, are you out of your mind? I asked you to get married to have children and start

a family, not to bully your wife!"

"I’m not bullying her."

"So why did you lock her up?"

"She wants to break up with me."

If he did not lock her up, he would have to let her go. He could not bear to do that.

He had not been home in the last few days and spent the night at Fairlight. He did not want to see

her leave. It caused him too much pain.

Harold was silent for a few seconds. After calming down, he asked, "Is Chloe doing this because of

Xavia?"

He was aware of Xavia's amniocentesis results. Although the results stated that it was Joseph's

child, he still felt that something was amiss.

"Yes.”

After pondering over it for a while, Harold tried to persuade Joseph. "Don't force Chloe. Let her go if

she wants to go."

Joseph turned Harold down without any hesitation. "Never."

"You can either give up the child or respect Chloe's choice. Pick one. She's made up her mind.

She’ll only suffer if you make her stay, and I can't bear to see that."

Joseph gnashed his teeth. "Can you stand to see her marry someone else in the future?"

Smugness crept into Harold's tone. "I can take her as my goddaughter. So even if she marries

someone else, we can still see her."

"Not a chance."

'I’d have to become that dumbo's brother. You’re such an idiot, Grandpa.’

"Then do your best to placate Chloe. If you fail, don’t make things difficult for her. Put yourself in her

shoes. She’d have to be very generous to accept the child. I’m sure you understand that you can't

always get what you want. Don't blame me for taking someone else’s side instead of yours. You’re

the one who made a mistake.

"I'll call you again later at nine. Regardless of how your discussion goes, you have to let her go.

Otherwise, I’ll come and deal with you personally!”
