The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 46

Chapter 46

“My… my name?” Estella stared at her name on the property ownership certificate in a daze, and her

tears instantly rolled down her cheeks. Seeing that, Willow who ridiculed Estella just now-felt a burning

pain on her face. Actually, her son in-law only bought a small house of 80 square meters located in the

cheapest zone

-D Zone. On the contrary, Estella’s son-in-law bought a 130 square meters big house located in the

best zone-A Zone. Besides, he directly gave it to Estella! As there was a world of difference between

her and Estella, Willow was too ashamed to stay. Before Estella came to her senses, Willow quickly

fled with her head down. “Mom…” “Estella!” As soon as Willow left, Yahir and Serena ran over

breathlessly. Since Yahir had lived with Estella for many years, he knew very well that every time they

fought, she would come here to ease her mood. And just as expected, he and Serena found her here.

However, Estella was too immersed in her name on the property ownership certificate, so she did not

respond to Yahir and Serena. “Joseph?” Seeing Joseph and Chloe beside Estella, Serena got more

confused. After that, she hurried to Estella with Yahir. Although Yahir also saw Joseph and Chloe, he

was not in the mood to talk to

-who was still bewildered—and apologized, “Estella, you did nothing wrong. It’s all my fault. I’m so

sorry. If you’re still mad, just hit me. Sorry for my impulsiveness. Sorry…” In fact, the moment Estella

ran out of the house, crying, Yahir had regretted his actions and went after her. She was right. Although

she didn’t contribute much these years, she still deserved credit for her efforts. After all, she

accompanied him through the tough times and raised two beautiful daughters for him. Therefore, once

he overcame his anger, he quickly came over to apologize to her. Even so, she still ignored him, while

tears still flowing down from her eyes. After a long time, she looked up at Joseph, feeling complicated.

“Joseph, you… you…” (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)At the moment, she still

hadn’t overcome the surprise. Never could she imagine that Joseph actually bought her a house.

Before this, she would give him a long face every time they met. Even this morning, she scolded him

and took away the car he bought for Paige. Despite all of that, he still treated her nicely. Hence, she

couldn’t get her mind straight for a while… With a smile, Joseph nodded to Estella. “Mom, you don’t

have to say anything.

Instead, I would like to thank you for the toys you bought for Chloe last night. She likes them. This

house is my gift for you. You can move in tonight if you want. Now, all that’s left for you to do is to visit

the real estate office with your ID card to amend all the related information. I have spoken to them

about this…” “Hm? House? What house?” Confused, Yahir looked at Joseph and then at Estella, only

to find that Estella had a property ownership certificate in her hand. Just now he was so panic that he

did not notice it. The next moment, Yahir opened his mouth wide and pointed at the property ownership

certificate. In disbelief, he stared at Estella and asked, “This house is… is

Looking at him, Estella nodded affirmatively. “Yes, it’s a 130 square meters house located in A Zone

with three rooms and two halls. Joseph bought it, and he, he put in under my name…” “What? This…”

Yahir instantly turned to look at Joseph, and his eyes were out on stalks. For a while, he was unable to

utter a word. Smilingly, Joseph nodded at Yahir. “You heard it right, Dad. All that’s left is for you to

complete the procedures with Mom…” “No, no, no… I… You, this house, this… this…” Yahir stuttered.

For his whole life, he had worked hard to fulfill Estella’s wish, but it was impossible. Nevertheless,

Joseph bought the house without any hesitation! Moreover, it was a 130 square meters house with

three bedrooms and two halls located in the best spot in Paragon Villa! At this moment, even after

double confirming with Estella and Joseph, Yahir still found it hard to believe. Seeing Yahir’s reaction,

Joseph had no choice but to continue nodding and explained, “It’s true. I have cleared the payment, so

there is no house loan. You and Mom can also move in at any time…” “This… This must’ve cost you a

fortune…” Yahir was still perplexed. He wouldn’t even dare to imagine the price for a large house in A

Zone. It could be at least a few million or more! Upon hearing Yahir’s words, Joseph chuckled without

saying anything. On the other hand, Serena looked at Joseph with great gratitude as tears welled up in

her eyes. She remembered when she called him this afternoon, she mentioned that Estella liked the

house in Paragon Villa and often quarreled(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) with

Yahir because of this. Then, the next thing she knew was that Joseph had bought the house… The

more she thought, the more thankful she felt… Suddenly, Paige’s anxious cry came from a distance.

“Dad! Mom! Are you all right?” An hour ago, Serena called Paige. Therefore, Paige quickly left the

company to find Estella. After all, to her, work was far less important than her family. Upon spotting

Yahir and Estella in a daze, she felt that something was off. Besides, Joseph and

Chloe were also here. Thinking about that, she became more worried. “Dad! Mom! Are you all right?

What is with your expression? What happened?” she nervously ran to Yahir and Estella and asked

while catching her breath. Feeling awkward, Estella dared not look at Paige. Following that, Yahir

looked at Paige with a complicated expression and stuttered, “Paige, Joseph… he… he…” But just

before he could finish his words, Paige interrupted him anxiously and questioned Joseph. “Joseph, did

you quarrel with them because of the car again? (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com)If you’re unwilling to give them, then take it back!” Due to anxiousness, Paige got

mad at Joseph. “Uh…” Stunned, Joseph was at a loss for words for a while. When Yahir saw that Paige

was about to scold Joseph again, he quickly explained, “House! It’s about the house! The house in

Paragon Villa! Don’t get him wrong. He bought a house for your Mom. So, don’t scold him. Don’t…”

“W… What? Joseph bought a house in Paragon Villa for Mom?” Paige was surprised like Yahir from

moments ago. Although she didn’t know much about cars, she had some understanding about housing.

The house in Paragon Villa? It must’ve costed a fortune. As her jaw dropped, she looked at Estella—

who was holding the property ownership certificate-in confusion. Feeling ashamed, Estella could feel a

burning pain on her face. Nonetheless, facing Paige’s inquiry, she forced herself to nod and clarified,

“Well, Joseph just bought it. As for what happened this morning, I was wrong. I’m sorry, Paige…” Upon

finishing, she quickly added, “You can take back the car later. Joseph bought it for you, after all… Sorry

for what I did this morning. I became impulsive after hearing Lily’s words…” This time, she kept

mentioning Joseph by his name using a polite tone. In fact, it was merely because she was astounded

by his generosity. When Joseph heard Estella talking about the car, he smiled, “Mom, I told you it’s

because I didn’t think it through. Also, Chloe and I just bought another same car this morning. So, you

can have the one you drove away. When you have time, you may go to the motor vehicle

administration agency and change the owner’s

information…” “Oh…” Everyone was stunned except the innocent Chloe and Serena—who knew part

of Joseph’s status. At that moment, Chloe thought that her father looked dashing, while Serena thought

that her brother-in-law was awesome. While everyone was shocked or stupefied, Joseph smiled faintly.

Since he and Paige had solved their grudges last night and got together, he thought he could push

forward his plans, including next month’s grand wedding. In addition, after today, he felt that Estella

would no longer oppose him and Paige, so there was no need to delay the wedding… The following

atmosphere was strange. Estella was too embarrassed to take a look at the house. However, Yahir

proposed to go in and have a look. Thus, the whole family went in. All the way, Estella only stole a few

glances while keeping her head low. She didn’t dare to look at Joseph. After viewing the house, This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

everyone followed Estella to the real estate office to transfer utilities to her name. Once all the official

documents, receipts, and house keys were in Estella’s hands, she finally believed that she owned a

house in Paragon Villa. At night, they had their dinner at a restaurant next to Paragon Villa. During the

meal, Estella was very awkward. Not only did her eyes averted Joseph, but she also dared not speak in

front of him. Only when everyone was about to disperse after dinner, she nervously stopped Joseph.

(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Bowing her head, she said apologetically,

“Joseph… I… I am sorry. I was mean to you before. Please… Please don’t take it to heart. You are a

nice man, and I am relieved that you will be Paige’s husband. Please forgive me for what I did last

time…”

smiled at her while holding Chloe in his arms. “Mom, don’t be. Since I am an orphan, you will be my

mother from now on. Chloe likes you very much too. Besides, what happened in the past was also

because of my mistake, so I should be the one apologizing. From today onward, let’s live happily as a

family…” Actually, there was a hurtful reason why he referred to himself as an orphan. Ever since his

family drove him out six years ago, he swore he would never have any relation with them again. Upon

hearing what Joseph said, Estella vibrated and nodded in agreement. Then, she took Chloe from

Joseph’s arms and left happily. “Chloe, do you want me to drive you home? I can drive, and my driving

skills are great… Estella suggested to Chloe. After nodding cutely, Chloe responded, “Okay, Grandma.

Let’s go home!” Meanwhile, Yahir looked at Joseph with a complex expression and nodded

apologetically, to which Joseph responded politely. Following that, Yahir got in the car while Serena

shot Joseph a look of admiration. Knowing that Paige wanted to talk to Joseph, Serena also got in

Estella’s car. When there was only Paige and Joseph left, Paige uttered with a mixed feeling, “Umm…

About this afternoon, I’m sorry. I have no idea you…” Joseph interrupted her, “It’s okay. As long as you

don’t blame me, I will be fine. I’ve bought a house for Mom, but I haven’t bought ours…” Immediately,

Paige shook her head. “Don’t worry about that. I… I’m already grateful for what you did for me…” After

she finished, a trace of doubt arose in her eyes. Facing Joseph, she opened her mouth, but when the

words were on the tip of her tongue, she didn’t know what to

say.

Naturally, Joseph understood what she wanted to ask, so he smiled, threw the new car key to her, and

said, “I know what you want to ask. You want to know where I got all this money and how I got to know

Lara and Brian last night, am I right?” To that, Paige nodded but quickly explained, “It… It’s okay. You

don’t have to tell me. I won’t ask anymore. As long as you are good to me, I will be glad enough. I know

you have your secrets, but you don’t have to tell me about it.” At this moment, she was a bundle of

nerves. Hearing that, Joseph shook his head and chuckled, “There is no such thing as secrets. Five

years ago, when you met me, didn’t I tell you that I was betrayed, and my company closed down? Well,

the company did close down, but there was a piece of land left. I believe you know how expensive the

lands in Usmait have become in five years. Mine was in the suburbs, but I managed to sell it for more

than 10 million dollars. So don’t worry, when you are free, we will choose a better house with Chloe. I

still have enough to afford one. Trust me. If you stay with me, I promise I won’t let you and Chloe suffer

again in this life…” With glimmering eyes, Paige gazed at Joseph. At this moment, her heart was once

again moved by him, and a rich sense of happiness rose in her heart. After a period of silence, she felt

that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward. She could even feel his breath getting

closer to her. Instantly, her heart raced, and she quickly uttered, “I’11… I’ll drive the car here.(This

novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” Then, she blushed, lowered her head, and ran away.

However, she immediately regretted her actions, so her face became redder… While looking at Paige,

who was walking to the parking space, he picked up his phone and called Alpha l. “Inform Dennis and

Ernie to hold the grand wedding in advance. Instead of waiting till next month, we will hold it in three

days… After finishing speaking, Joseph hung up the phone. As he stared at Paige’s back, the love in

his eyes intensified, and he muttered inwardly, “Paige, since you have promised me, how can I let you

wait for any longer?” In fact, there was another reason, which was Lily and the others. Although he and

Paige were only back for a few days, those brainless and snobbish people kept looking for trouble with

them. His patience had reached the limit, so he decided to hold the wedding in three days. After giving

Paige a sensational wedding, he believed that no one would dare to compete with her in the future.
