Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love pdf

Chapter 190 Was That a Confession, Jojo?

These particular words immediately struck a nerve with Chloe, causing a surge of sensitivity within her. “No… No! Don’t be absurd. You and I are simply colleagues with a superior-

subordinate relationship and are only roommates at best. Why would I be jealous?!”

Unwilling to admit she had feelings for him, she vehemently denied it.

Joseph sighed helplessly, his voice laced with rare patience.” Xavia returned to the country today and insisted on meeting me at Fairlight after getting off the plane.”

But halfway through, Xavia had fainted and Joseph left after taking her to the hospital.

“Nonsense. You definitely went out for a meal together!”

“No, we didn’t.”

“Then what’s with the wrinkles on your sleeves?” Chloe pouted, assuming an attitude resembling a wife interrogating her husband. However, she seemed unaware of her own behavior.

“Xavia pulled on my sleeves when she fainted.”

“Swear it!”

Joseph grasped hold of her ear and spoke in a drawn–out tone, “Are you pushing your luck?”

“I was just joking. You have no sense of humor. I’m going to take Toto for a walk now. You should go to bed early,” Chloe

pleaded. She managed to break free and hurriedly descended. the stairs, her footsteps noticeably quickening.

While walking the dog, Chloe had a half–hour voice call with Emily. Emily’s senses sharpened like a hawk spotting its prey when she learned about Joseph’s first love returning. “She didn’t come back earlier or later, but precisely after you two got married. She’s most likely back to stir up trouble. Stay alert and don’t let her take Joseph away. I’m still counting on your support!”

“If she doesn’t come back, does that mean Joseph and I will end up together?”

“Why not? Even something as outrageous as getting a marriage certificate happened. Have some confidence in yourself.”

Chloe muttered softly, “But he doesn’t like me, and I don’t like him either.‘

Emily paused, then spoke seriously, “I’m certain that Joseph has feelings for you. For example, if he didn’t care about you, when telling you about where he was tonight, he wouldn’t have bothered.‘

“Is that true…” Did he say it because he cared about her? Ripples stirred in Chloe’s heart, and she inexplicably felt a sense of joy.

“Come on. He’s the young and promising president of

Fairlight. He’s wealthy and handsome. Women from Aesper to Docwood are lining up to pursue him. Why would he bother telling you these things when he could be spending that time making more money? Why would he have nothing better to do than proactively share those matters with you?”

“But…”

“Don’t ‘but‘ me. The same goes for you. I know you. You have feelings for Joseph too.”

“No! That’s not true!” Chloe reflexively refuted.

Emily did not hold back as she pierced through with her words, “You claim not to have feelings for him, yet your demeanor when he meets his first love betrays your true emotions. Why did you become so gloomy and sullen, resembling a resentful woman?”
