The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 37

Facing Serena—who was crying and blaming herself-Alpha 1 lowered his head with guilt. Actually, his words were not entirely true. However, after some pondering, he thought that what he said wasn’t a lie either. For the sake of Paige and Chloe, Joseph even disregarded Dragon Temple. Wasn’t this more than giving up one’s position as a god of war? Seeing how Serena’s imagination overtook her, he remained silent… O Just then, Joseph came over after talking with Dennis. When he saw Serena’s tear stained face, he was shocked while wondering the reason she was crying. At once, he asked, “Serena, what’s wrong? Did Alpha 1 bully you? How dare he!” After finishing his words, he was about to interrogate Alpha l. However, Serena stopped him. With tears in her eyes, she gazed at Joseph and sobbed, “I am sorry, Joseph. Please be rest assured that I will never tell Paige your identity. I am very sorry…” Upon hearing this, Joseph was stunned before a faint smile appeared on his face. “Don’t cry. What did Alpha 1 say to you?” The moment Serena saw him smiling, her heartache intensified, and she shook her head while crying, “Nothing. I will see you later…” Following that, she left. After she got out of the club, she looked back as she kept recalling Alpha l’s words. “Not many people in Frogua know about the gods of war outside the region, but the gods of war have defended Frogua in the outer region using their flesh and blood!” Compared to the warriors in the country, those who fought in the outer region carried more burdens and faced more danger. Today, Serena came across one who was respected by the whole world, despite knowing his reputation! An unparalleled hero who gave up everything for her sister and her niece! Thinking about that, she was so moved and shocked that her feelings were way beyond description. Then, when she remembered that Alpha 1 acknowledged Joseph was the one who held the grand wedding for Paige on the 15th of next month, she was more impressed. Imagine how happy Paige would be on that day. Just as Joseph promised, he would change the whole city’s perception of Paige and make those who ridiculed her regret it!

The next moment, Estella’s words during yesterday’s lunch came into Serena’s mind. Estella said that Paige was marrying Brooks. Besides, she even mentioned that Brooks had secured a spot at the grand wedding. Recalling how expectant Estella was and how gloomy Paige was, Serena felt like laughing.

the one that Joseph prepared. Presumably, this was his surprise for Paige. Thinking of how blessed Paige was, Serena smiled while her eyes were welling up with tears of joy. After all the crying, she looked back with a smile and murmured, “You will be happy, Paige. Definitely. And Chloe, your father is truly a peerless hero. Your mother

the title of the outer region’s god of war. Also, Serena is too young, so she won’t be able to keep a secret for long. Ask Terrance to find a timely opportunity to announce my title to Oplen’s battle division… It’s good to have such a title, but in the future, my relationship with the military and Charles might get deeper.” Upon listening to the instructions, Alpha 1 nodded. Following that, they started to discuss other topics, such as asking Gempoint Group to prepare the wedding dresses for next month’s wedding. Afterward, Joseph left with some delicious snacks for Chloe. On his way home, he remembered something. Hence, he went to a top-end-boutique and bought two clothes for Paige and Chloe. As Joseph went to the boutique, Serena got home first. When Paige saw Serena’s red swollen eyes and those traces of tears on her face, she nervously asked, “What happened?” Looking at Paige deeply, Serena shook her head and smiled, “Nothing.” “Really?” Paige questioned again, to which Serena shook her head again. Since Serena refused to say anything, Paige stopped asking and was about to go to the kitchen to cook Nevertheless, Serena suddenly called her, “Paige…” “Yes? What’s wrong? You’re acting weird today.” Paige slightly puckered

his words, Paige puzzled for a while before she bit her lip and uttered, “Actually, I’m fine. You can just buy it for Chloe…” Despite what she said, Joseph responded, “Yours is also a black dress, together with a pair of black high heels. Since you’re back here, I believe you will have gatherings with friends or whatsoever. You can’t go without a new dress, am I right? Try it. Chloe will be ready soon.” “Well, okay… Thank you…” Paige said to Joseph with complicated emotions. After all, they were together because of Chloe, and whenever Chloe was not around, things would be awkward between them. After taking the dress, Paige went to try it in her room. Joseph didn’t follow. Instead, he waited in the living room. Moments later, Chloe bounced out from Serena’s room happily in a pair of black sandals and a small black skirt. She was so adorable. Overjoyed, she kept hopping in front of Joseph. “Daddy! Am I beautiful?” she excitedly asked. With a nod, Joseph praised, “Hmm, yeah! My dear Chloe is so beautiful…” “Hee hee! Where is Mommy?
