The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 29

Another hour later, Paige called Joseph and told him to bring Chloe upstairs. When Joseph and Chloe got upstairs, Estella and Yahir had left, leaving only Paige and her sister, Serena. O “Joseph…” Serena gazed at Joseph meaningfully while suppressing the doubts in her mind. After all, Paige’s affairs mattered the most now. Before that, she had heard from Estella about the conditions to return to the family given by Leonard. She thought it was very challenging, and she did not know if Paige could accomplish it. Then, she took Chloe from Joseph’s arms. On the other hand, Paige seemed concerned. Deep down, she thought that the military had recently expelled Joseph, and he was jobless now. Even if he started to search for a job, it would be impossible to find one in just one or two days. Perhaps, it would even end up taking a month. During this period, their family of three would have to rely on her for expenses and house rent. In addition, as Estella did not wish to see Joseph, she did not allow Paige to move back home. Seeing that Paige was gloomy, Joseph asked carefully, “Paige, what’s wrong? Do you mind sharing?”

you help me to take care of Chloe? Her father needs to go out and find a job too. Thank you…” Instantaneously, Serena waved her hands. “Sure. Please leave this to me. We are sisters, after all. I am free these days. So, you can go ahead with your work, while Joseph can also find

sorry, Chloe. I just came back, and I don’t know anyone here, so I’m afraid I can’t help. But you have to believe in your mom. You know she can do it, right?” For a moment, Chloe tilted her small head and pondered before she finally gave a cute nod. “Of course. I believe in Mom. She is powerful, and I know she can do it. When the time comes, Grandpa and Great Grandpa will finally accept us…” Upon hearing that, Joseph nodded. Then, he checked out the room with Serena and took Chloe to find a house outside. As Serena grew up in Oplen, she was well familiar with the city. At three o’clock in the afternoon, through the introduction of her classmate, she found a house with two rooms for Joseph and Paige. Since it was not located in the heart of the city, the rent was quite affordable. Besides, she and the owner knew each other well, so the rent was only 1,500 dollars a month. Without hesitation, Joseph paid the rent. Later, under the lead of Serena, the three bought a lot of daily necessities. As for the rooms, Serena took one while Joseph, Paige, and Chloe shared the other. At six o’clock in the evening, Joseph had finished cooking, but Paige hadn’t returned home. After he called her, he had dinner with Serena and Chloe. Later, when it was eight o’clock in the evening, Paige finally came back. However, there was a faint palm print on her right cheek, which was slightly swollen. Moreover, her eyes were red and swollen. It seemed like she had cried once again. Seeing this, Joseph narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously, a killing intent rose in his heart. Nevertheless, no matter how he asked, Paige kept insisting that she was fine and was just a little tired before going back to her room to sleep. After cleaning up the kitchen, he was about to call Alpha 1 and ask

persuade Paige. After the room door was closed, Joseph slowly turned his head to look at Paige’s room. Once again, the killing intent in his body rose. Originally, he planned to let Alpha 1 solve the Mooney family’s issues swiftly. Nonetheless, it did not occur to him that Paige would be so anxious that she went there today. “You’re so dead, Porters!” he cursed inwardly. At that time, he had the urge to go to Guplyae right away, but Paige and the others were still awake. If he chose to leave now, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself. Thus, he sent a
