Chapter 718 The Teacher Calls Her Jasper’s Mother
At the mention of this, Harold seemed a little hesitant. He was silent for a long while before he said, "It was Xa—"
"Your oatmeal’s here!"
A child’s voice interrupted him.
Jasper carefully carried a bowl of oatmeal into the room. "Greatpapi, it's a little hot. Blow on it before you eat."
Harold looked at Jasper and said, "I will, thank you."
"You're welcome." Jasper turned to tug at Chloe's clothes. "Ms. Chloe, my teacher is here. Can you come
downstairs with me?"
"Where's your father?" Eager to find out the truth, Chloe wanted to turn Jasper down.

"Daddy's downstairs but the teacher toldto get my mother. If you don't come, I'll have to tell the teacher |
don't have a mother." Jasper looked down sadly and let go of her clothes.
A pang of pain hit Chloe in the chest. Harold just told her that Jasper might be the product of Xavia and another
man, but she still found it hard to say no to him. Harold felt the sway too. He had always wished for an
obedient great-grandson. The boy before him was just as he had imagined, and the boy did not take after
Joseph's character.
What a shame...
Chloe hesitated for a long tbefore finally deciding to cross her boundaries. "How long will it take?"
She just could not bring herself to refuse or hate Jasper. And besides, Harold was awake now. She could ask
about the incident anytime. The hvisit was only once a year, and she had caused Xavia's well-deserved
downfall.
"About half an hour to an hour at most," Jasper quickly answered. His eyes lit up. "It won't take up much of your
time."
"Fine, but only this once."
Downstairs, a woman in a business suit was chatting with Joseph while simultaneously taking down notes. Jasper
trotted over and introduced Chloe to the woman, "Miss, this is my mother. Sorry, we're late."
The woman extended her hand to Chloe and said in a friendly tone, "Hello, I'm Jasper’'s homeroom teacher."
Chloe shook hands with the teacher enthusiastically. "Hello."
Having got what he wanted, Jasper winked at his father smugly. Joseph understood and smiled, giving his son a
thumbs-up. An understanding had been established. Jasper distracted the teacher with chatter to buy tfor
Joseph.
The warm sunlight shone down on the trio, making them look very much like a harmonious family. Even Joseph's
sharp and aloof gaze had a touch of warmth to it. The teacher addressed Chloe as Jasper's mother, and though
Chloe was not used to it at first, she soon got comfortable with the role. If her child was still alive, they would be
like Jasper.

At noon, the teacher left. Chloe instantly put away her smile and glanced at Joseph coldly. She then turned to go
back upstairs to Harold's room.
Joseph stopped her. "Let's eat before going up."
"It's fine, I'm not hungry."
"Be good now.” Although Joseph said this gently, he grabbed her waist and hugged her.
Chloe elbowed him fiercely. "Let go of me. | know you and Jasper are working together. He pretended to be all
pitiful to fool me. I did him a favor, but it has nothing to do with you."
Of course, she had been able to tell that Jasper was trying to put them together.
Joseph smiled wickedly. "How long have you knownand how long have you known Jas? Why would you do
him any favors? | know it's all just an excuse. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Chloe sighed at his shamelessness and whispered, "Don't flatter yourself. You should talk to Grandpa. Xavia
might have cuckolded you.”
