Chapter 25

“Dad… I knew you’d be back today. Heehee!” Throwing herself into Joseph’s arms, Chloe said happily while kissing him on the cheek. At this moment, Joseph had mixed emotions. Although he was sad deep inside, he was also delighted to be able to hold his daughter. Because of his complex emotions, he remained silent all the while. Joseph planted a kiss on Chloe’s face. Enduring his sorrow, he replied, “That’s right. You have such good instincts. I’m sorry, Chloe. I came late. I’m really sorry…” Shaking her head delightfully, Chloe replied, “It’s fine as long as you are back, Dad. Mom and I plan to have dinner now. Come and join us…” Joseph suppressed his emotions and nodded with a smile, “Sure. Let’s have dinner together.” Then, he looked up at Paige, who was standing in a daze with teary eyes. Joseph could not help but feel even more guilty. At this time, Chloe turned back and waved happily at Paige. “Mom, let’s have dinner together. Heehee! We’re having dinner together as a family…” As Paige covered her teary eyes, Joseph nodded slightly at her. “Let’s go for dinner now. Don’t let Chloe starve…” Paige agreed. Thus, she wiped her tears and followed closely behind Joseph, who was holding Chloe in his arms. Joseph then asked Chloe with a smile, “Since it’s daddy’s treat, what do you want to eat? Shall we go to a nice restaurant?” Chloe responded with great excitement, “Dad, let’s have some delicious instant noodles. Is that okay?” Joseph was stunned. Instant noodles? With his current wealth, how could he treat his daughter to junk food? Before he could say anything, Paige smiled and answered, “Of course. We can have instant noodles with you…” Overjoyed, Chloe immediately made a peace sign. Then, she pointed to a restaurant not far from the hotel. With her eyes sparkling, she said, “We should go there…” Joseph frowned slightly. Initially, he wanted to take Paige and Chloe to a nicer restaurant, but since his daughter was so excited about this place, he remained silent as he followed them to this relatively small restaurant. At the dining table, Chloe happily ordered three bowls of instant noodles with eggs. When the dishes were served, Chloe immediately passed the poached egg in her bowl to Joseph. Displaying a smile, she said to Joseph, “Dad, you should eat more because you are an adult. I can’t finish all this food anyway. Otherwise, you will be hungry when you sleep at night…”

Then, Chloe lay on the bed and asked Joseph to tell her a story. Earlier, she waited for him all day. Since she did not take an afternoon nap, she was incredibly tired. After less than half an hour, Chloe fell asleep. Carefully covering her daughter with a quilt, Joseph noticed that Paige was quietly sobbing at the balcony. With a frown on his face, he went to her. Noticing that Joseph was approaching, Paige asked while crying, “Are you really okay? Why would the Kennedys

asked worriedly, “How will they punish you? Will it be very harsh?” Joseph paused and said, “It’s fine. At most, they will expel me. It’s no big deal. The moment I found out that I have a daughter, I do not wish

You can’t even imagine how sensible she is…” After a pause, Paige continued, “Joseph, do you know why Chloe took you to eat instant noodles tonight?” . Joseph shook his head subconsciously. Paige continued, “In her heart, instant noodles and eggs are the best food in the world. She never asks me for snacks. Even if she often secretly looks at other children when they have snacks, she would never ask for them.” The tears started to well up even more in Paige’s eyes. She looked at Chloe, who was asleep with a smile. Paige added, “Chloe also likes eggs in instant noodles very much, but do you know what she thinks? Before
