Chapter 330 Getting Upset Over a Single Comment, How Melodramatic

Joseph’s well–defined hand rested on the steering wheel as his gaze shifted toward the passenger

seat in the rearview mirror. He observed Chloe’s countenance, a medley of distress and conflict

etched upon her features. Her expressions shifted like the tides, leaving him intrigued yet

guarded.

Arching an eyebrow, his lips formed a subtle, contemplative line. It was evident that Chloe had

reached a pivotal decision, ready to unveil a matter of significance.

‘If Grandpa’s yearning for a grandchild is so strong, what if Xavia was truly carrying Joseph’s

child? In that scenario, she could enter the Whitman family through marriage, with the child

serving as an undeniable connection. Even if Grandfather holds reservations toward Xavia, he

wouldn’t dare insist on an abortion, would he? This revelation would potentially nullify the need for the three–month cooling–off period.‘

Gathering her thoughts, Chloe began, “I happened to cross paths with Jane yesterday.”

The man’s countenance remained stoic, his anticipation palpable for Chloe’s forthcoming words.

“Jane informed me that Xavia is pregnant,” she disclosed, her voice laden with a mix of uncertainty and intrigue. “According to Jane, she witnessed Xavia entering the OB–GYN department at Cloude Hospital. She even claimed to have glimpsed Xavia’s medical file.”

Joseph’s brow furrowed, a sign of his deepening concern. “Were those Jane’s precise words?”

“Yes.”

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly grew thick with tension. As they exited the highway, Joseph parked the vehicle by the roadside and promptly reached for his phone, making an urgent

call.

“Verify if there are any existing medical records of Xavia Larson at Cloude Hospital.”

The individual on the receiving end concurred, assuring a prompt response. Seizing this opportunity, Chloe swiftly arranged for a hired car with her phone.
