Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 187 Final Breath
Joseph grew impatient with Chloe’s tortoise-paced approach. Not wanting to waste any more time, he bent down, closing the gap between them, and their bodies pressed tightly together. With a firm grip on her chin, he urged her to respond actively.In a fleeting moment, an intense intimacy enveloped them. Joseph found himself unexpectedly drawn to this sensation. It was as if he had discovered a newfound craving, a fatal attraction to such intimate exchanges. Particularly in recent times, his desire to connect with her on a more profound level had been steadily growing.In a hazy state, Chloe opened her eyes and found herself gazing at the magnified, dashing face before her. His long eyelashes softened the cold gleam in his eyes, and his large hands cradled her gently.Chloe could not help but wonder if her eyes were deceiving her. At that moment, she sensed a shared intensity in the kiss, as if Joseph, too, was caught up in the whirlwind of emotions. A whimsical thought crossed her m
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 188 Hope You’ll Pick Me Up, I Miss You
Joseph remained silent, elegantly crossing his legs and scrolling through financial news articles on his phone.Nathan interpreted the silence as confirmation and let out a sigh. "So, you've really decided to go serious with Chloe?"Joseph continued to ignore him."Are you certain about this? It's a matter of long-term commitment. Don't leave Chloe in limbo while still holding onto Xavia. That’s not cool, mister womanizer!"Nathan had gathered information about Chloe's family situation from Samuel, and based on their first encounter, he was convinced that Chloe’s father was not a good person."You rotate partners every day. What right do you have to lecture me?"Shaking his head, Nathan replied, "My arrangement with my women is consensual. It's not the same.""Ah yes, you're a noble one."Nathan had no clever comeback for that remark. He continued in a serious tone, "I'm not joking around with you. Xavia reached out to me yesterday. She has a plane ticket for next Friday. It's
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 189 Are You Jealous?
Chloe's face registered astonishment as she responded, "No. What did you hear?"She had briefly worked alongside the janitor when she first joined Fairlight but had since transferred to the marketing department. They would occasionally exchange a few words when they crossed paths in the company, gradually becoming acquainted with one another."One of your department colleagues has been badmouthing you in the restroom for several days, and it's the same person every time."A shadow of concern crept over Chloe's face as she inquired, "Do you happen to know the name of that person?""I heard others calling her Ms. Nelly or Kelly or something like that," the janitor replied.Chloe's mind quickly made the connection—the marketing department had only one person with a name that sounded like that, Ellie Miller.Coincidentally, as Chloe made her way to Joseph, she crossed paths with a high-level executive from another department who gave her a thumbs-up and a smile. "Good going, Chloe! O
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love 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?
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 191 Sincerity
Joseph felt a small lump rise in his throat as he faced her passionate and sincere gaze. Uncomfortably, he averted his gaze and replied, "You're overthinking it.""No, you do have feelings for me," Chloe said. Although she was talking to him, it gave people a feeling that she was talking to herself. "Why don't you just admit it? Love should be boldly expressed!"Before he could respond, she pressed on, "I also have a good impression of you!"She was not naive. She had noticed the changes in him. It was just that she had never considered it from that angle.At this moment, his reaction confirmed her suspicions. Joseph's face sank, his long legs crossed lazily, and his cold gaze bore into Chloe. "Just a good impression?"'Isn't she supposed to be so deeply in love with me that she can't imagine her life without me?'Chloe lightly touched her nose, casting her eyes downward to conceal the fleeting sense of guilt. From a side glance, she looked like a wounded little white rabbit. "Of
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 192 Help, I’m So Scared
"Ellie, that was way out of line," a colleague said."I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously," Ellie said."Seriously, who jokes like that?"Chloe held onto her colleague's arm, shaking her head. "Don't worry about it. Let her say what she wants. We'll just ignore her," she said.After all, Ellie did speak the truth, and there was no way to argue against it.Ellie glanced at Chloe and walked away.The rest of Chloe’s day was a hectic one. She spent the morning organizing business data and conducting analysis in preparation for the afternoon meeting. She remained occupied until the end of the meeting.Afterward, Ellie approached with an air of authority and instructed, "Prepare the implementation project strategy for me by tomorrow. Make sure to include the cost, timeline, and projected results."Chloe rubbed her stiff neck and questioned, "Aren't these tasks supposed to be your responsibility? If I handle them for you, what will you be doing?"'Standing around and looki
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 193 I Want to See Your Business Empire
Below Fairlight, a car was parked by the side of the road. Inside, Joseph furrowed his brow, staring at the missed call displayed on his phone screen before deciding to return the call."Hello, the number you dialed is currently unreachable..."Whenever Chloe's phone was switched off, it never boded well, even though today she was in the office."Stay here. I'm going up," he informed Lucas. He then opened the car door and stepped out.Lucas opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his gaze caught sight of an elegant figure. "Oh no, it’s her. Didn't this woman say she wouldn't bother Mr. Joseph anymore? Why is she here again?"Thoughts swirled in his mind as he discreetly observed Xavia from the car. As if everything had been meticulously orchestrated, she coincidentally encountered Joseph at the zebra crossing. She was wearing a delicate, pink V-neck dress that accentuated her slender waist and revealed her perfectly shaped legs. With each gentle gust of the evening breeze,

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired and just want to go home and rest," Chloe said."Sure," he replied."But I thought you left. Why did you come back?" she asked while they waited for the elevator.Raising an eyebrow, Joseph responded, "Who told you I left?""So you never left? You've been in the office this whole time?""I was busy for a while, and by the time I finished, it was almost ten o'clock," he explained.In other words, he had been waiting for her.Chloe smiled mischievously, her eyes sparkling, "I see..."'He just refuses to admit that he was waiting for me!'Inside the elevator, Joseph slovenly leaned against the wall, his waist narrow and shoulders broad. He cast a cold glance at her and scoffed indifferently.Enchanted by his charm, Chloe stared at him blankly for a couple of seconds. Honestly, she had suspected that Joseph was not Jake's uncle when she first met him at the bar. After all, he was too good-looking to be his uncle. Though doubts had arisen,

Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1132 Noah Sullivan
After Chloe calmed herself, she realized that the place she was in resembled the villa she lived in while overseas five years ago. However, upon closer inspection, the exterior scenery was different. She realized something and froze."Did you build a villa identical to the one I stayed in five years ago?" she asked.Noah was busy bandaging himself. Upon hearing her question, he replied, "Yeah, doesn't it look almost identical?"Chloe's gaze swept over every item in the room, and she admitted that she was touched. She turned back to Noah and looked at him gently as if she had returned to the time when she simply treated him as a little brother."How did you convince Tiffany to cooperate with you?"Tiffany had made her move while Noah distracted Desmond."I just told her about it, and she agreed."Chloe asked, "Do you think you’re treating her fairly?"Noah said flatly, "I’ll compensate her."Compensate? How? Chloe thought that youth was the most precious thing in the world, but
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1131 You Bastard! Where Did You Take Chloe?!
In the Whitman family home, Joseph went to deal with a bunch of urgent company matters after putting Jasper to sleep. By the time he finished, it was already past three in the morning. He contemplated calling Chloe to ask about Noah's situation, but thinking it might disrupt her sleep, he abandoned the idea.When Joseph woke up the next day, it was already half past six. He recalled Chloe mentioning that Exotic Star had a new product launching today and that she would have to wake up early. He reached for his phone on the table, intending to call her.However, his hand slipped and the phone fell to the floor. The loud thud caused his heart to tremble. He stared at the shattered phone screen as he got a bad feeling. He grabbed his spare phone and quickly dialed Chloe's number. After ringing for some time, a cold, mechanical voice informed him that there was no one available to answer at the moment. Without hesitation, he immediately headed to the Sullivan Manor. When Joseph got ther
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1130 Last Wish
“Yes, Grandpa, and I hope you won't stop me when the time comes," Noah said. "You're not discussing this with me. You're just informing me!" Desmond said exasperatedly. "I'm sorry, Grandpa.”Desmond hemmed and hawed for a long while, at a loss for words. He seemed to age ten years as he stared into the distance through the window. After a while, he said, "I've already had someone contact doctors abroad regarding your condition, so don't worry. All you have to do now is just focus on recovering. Don't give up so soon."Sensing Desmond's determination, Noah's eyes filled with tears. He too wished to spend a few more years with his grandfather.When they arrived at the Sullivan manor, the foreign doctors had replied. Upon learning that the renowned healer, Z, had treated Noah but only achieved limited success, they decided not to intervene.Noah was not discouraged by this. He comforted Desmond and said, "Grandpa, I would like to go abroad for a few days. It's been a long time sin
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1129 My Heart Is Suitable for Her
Half an hour later, Desmond and Noah walked out of the ward together.Desmond said, "The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so why don't you just listen? If something happens to you again, they can treat you immediately."Noah smiled warmly and said, "It's okay. The medical equipment at home is sufficient."Desmond sighed. It would be good if Noah stayed at home as well. At least there would be more pairs of eyes on him.Desmond instructed the driver to come to the hospital’s basement car park. When he hung up the phone, he looked around the corridor and wondered, "Wasn't Chloe just sitting here? Where is she?"Noah did not say anything and just lowered his head."And where's Tiffany too? Call her. We need to go home," Desmond said as he took his phone out to call Chloe.However, Chloe did not answer his call. Noah did not call Tiffany. Instead, he said, "Her brother had something to discuss with her, so he came by and brought her home. Maybe Chloe ha
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1128 Please Don’t Blame Me, I Have No Choice
Chloe looked at Tiffany and said sarcastically, "Not everyone is willing to contribute their entire life knowing that the other person doesn't like them."Tiffany had a heart problem. She might die at any moment, yet she chose to live around someone who did not love her back. Chloe often marveled at the greatness of love, but she would never possess such a sacrificial spirit.Tiffany laughed coldly. "It’s because I have compassion and you don't. When Xavia died before your eyes, you just coldly stared at her body."Chloe raised her head sharply, glared at Tiffany, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xavia took my child, stole my man, and wrecked my marriage! She nearly got me killed several times! If she hadn’t died, it might have been me! I should've celebrated her death with fireworks! None of you know what I've been through, so stop pointing fingers at me!"At first, she had felt responsible for Xavia's death, but she had since come to her senses. Xavia's death had nothing to
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1127 For the Remainder of Your Life
Desmond was taken aback that he even forgot his cane and almost tripped on the carpet. He quickly got back up and headed for the second floor. The butler immediately called for an ambulance while the other housekeepers guided the panicked guests away.Chloe furrowed her brows, following Desmond into Noah's bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all light. But just standing at the door, one could detect the strong scent of rust from inside.A helper flipped a switch, and the room was flooded with light. The wooden furniture was neatly arranged while neatly folded clothes sat on the sofa.Chloe looked around but did not see Noah. She then looked toward the bathroom and her face sank.Tiffany pointed to the bathroom and said, "He's in there."Desmond trembled as he pushed open the bathroom door. Inside was a mess, with red stains covering the floor. Noah was in the bathtub, his wet clothes clinging to his body. His arms hung limply over the tub's edge, and his head sl
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1126 The Living Grief for the Dead
Chloe did not know how to answer."Say something. You wanted her dead, right? Are you happy now that she is dead?!” Kenneth shouted angrily at her, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze piercing.He was so loud that it drew the attention of many nearby. Callum and Joseph rushed over, and Joseph shielded Chloe behind him. He pushed Kenneth back several steps and said sternly, "Never speak of that woman in front of Chloe again. Otherwise, there'll be consequences!""Hah! Are you protecting a murderer?" Kenneth laughed. "Oh yeah, you’re both responsible for Xavia's death after all."Smack!Callum slapped Kenneth across the face, instantly silencing him. "Get a grip, Ken! Xavia deserved to die. Stop embarrassing yourself in front of Chloe.”Kenneth held his face as he muttered, "Yeah, you're right… Xavia should’ve died. She was evil. She deceived and took advantage of me… She should die..."Then why was he so tormented over her death? He could not sleep or eat. He knew Xavia deserved th
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1125 My Child Is Motherless
Joseph frowned. "Of course not. Her death has nothing to do with you. Promise me you won’t think such thoughts."The unexpected turn of events caught both Chloe and him off guard. Xavia clearly wanted to haunt Chloe forever by killing herself in front of her. Although he felt shocked, he was not deeply shaken. After all, he had not witnessed Xavia's jump, and Xavia probably thought that the third floor was not enough to kill her. After all, being in the hospital for treatment was better than being detained by the police.Chloe looked at Joseph with vacant eyes and smiled bitterly. "You're right. It’s good that she's finally dead. She got what she deserved, and I should be happy," she said."Exactly. Even if she didn't jump, the police would’ve arrested her," Joseph said gently, "It's my fault for asking you to buy us some time. If she comes back as a ghost to haunt you, I'll stop her."Joseph, Tyson, and a few officers had arrived just moments after Xavia jumped. He had brought a g
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1124 A Defense Mechanism
Everyone erupted into gasps. As a deafening crash came from below, the staff scattered. Some ran downstairs to try and rescue Iris. Some who had rushed to the windows shouted anxiously, "She's still alive!"Everyone around Chloe was running as her mind was filled with an endless ringing. The whole world became a blur. She never imagined that things would end like this. The meeting hall was on the third floor. It was not too high, but it could be fatal if one were to land on their head. Everyone's accusatory gaze fell on Chloe, and the crowd started to murmur."Damn, how could she do this to Iris? Do you think she’ll be haunted by nightmares tonight?""Yeah, why does she insist that Iris is Xavia?""What if Iris dies? Won’t Ms. Chloe indirectly become a murderer?""Do you think Iris will come for revenge in the middle of the night when she dies?"Something inside Chloe snapped, and she shouted, "It wasn't me! What she did has nothing to do with me!"Her outburst silenced the ro
