Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 34 That Nutjob of a Moron Is Your Nephew
When Joseph came back from work, he found Chloe in the kitchen, chopping potatoes with a knife. She looked as if she had a deep grudge against the potatoes, for she was smashing instead of chopping them."Who upset you?" Chloe paused and turned around to look at him, knife in hand."A moron," she said begrudgingly.'Yes, a moron. And that nutjob of a moron is your nephew!'After a look of confusion, Joseph went upstairs to clean up.For dinner tonight, they had beef potato stew, oven-roasted vegetables, and Greek salad."I took a crash course on cooking today. Want to try the result of my learning?" Chloe asked.Joseph took a bite of the beef and said, "Well, there isn't much difference from the previous days.""Today’s only the first day, okay?" Chloe replied. "Give me a month and I'll surprise you.""We'll see," Joseph said.Although he said the food was not great, he enjoyed the meal very much.Chloe retired to her room to continue her work after dinner. Shortly after,
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 35 Joseph Is Jealous!
By the time Joseph came back with the car keys, Chloe’s mind was still swimming."Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter? Let's go."Chloe fiddled with the buttons of her coat and demurely said, "Is it too much trouble for you to drive me this late at night?"Despite not being emotionally prepared to confess to Jake yet, the idea of him seeing her with his uncle and losing his confidence was too big of a temptation to let go. Just the thought of that scene sent shivers of joy down her spine.Unfortunately, Joseph misconstrued her intentions and his expression turned sour as he quipped, "Don't worry. I just happened to be heading back to the office and it’s along the way. I won't be a hindrance to your secret meeting with your paramour.""What paramour?" Chloe was taken aback, and it was not until a moment later that she realized the meaning behind his odd tone. She took a few steps closer, smiling slyly as she stared at him. "Are you jealous?"Otherwise, why would he so
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 36 What Was Once Precious Is Now Meaningless
It seemed that Ava was still proficient in twisting the truth.Ignoring her sister, Chloe placed a bag on the table and said in a flat tone, "These are all the jewelry and clothes you gave me. The dolls and such are at the Johnsons'."Ava grabbed Chloe’s hand and asked worriedly, "Where have you been staying the past few days?""Does it matter?""I asked Em and she said you haven't been at her place." Ava bit her lip, her voice thick with concern. "You should come. It's not safe for a girl to stay outside alone."Jake knew a thing or two about Chloe's involvement with an older man and a mixture of disdain and disappointment filled his heart. On one hand, he felt responsible for her downfall, but on the other, he felt she should not just give up on herself even though their relationship did not work out."Ava’s right. It's not right for a girl to be alone. Go back home," Jake chimed in and said in a preachy tone.Chloe was speechless. "Is there something wrong with you guys?"Af
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 37 Goodnight
A little taken aback, Chloe asked, "You saw everything?"However, Joseph answered in a non-committal tone, "What did I see?""The person I met at the cafe…"'That sc*mbag is your nephew!'Joseph was silent for a while and said, "Nope. I didn't see anything."He had only seen her standing on the street looking lost and dejected.Chloe stared into Joseph’s eyes and realized that he was not lying. He really had not seen Jake or Ava, leaving her slightly disappointed.Joseph thought she did not want to talk about the subject so he did not press any further. The journey home was silent. After Chloe wished him good night, she went to her room to sleep.As Joseph watched her disappear up the stairs with a pensive expression on her face, he murmured, "Good night…"Chloe, still seething in anger, did not notice what Joseph said and went straight into her room.Upon coming downstairs the next day, a look of surprise spread across Joseph's face when he saw a lunchbox out on the table. C
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 38 Chloe, You Sure Are Clear-Headed
"No, I was here for a job interview," replied Chloe."You had a job interview with the Baxons?""Yeah," Chloe confirmed."How did it go? Did it go smoothly?" Icarus inquired."No." Chloe shrugged as she sighed dejectly. "It's difficult to find a job these days."Icarus gestured toward her resume. "May I have a look?""Sure," she replied, handing it over.After reading through her resume, Icarus remarked, "Objectively speaking, you are indeed outstanding among your peers.""And subjectively?" asked Chloe as she fixed her gaze on Icarus."Subjectively, in my opinion, you're extraordinary," Icarus answered.It was evident that she was an exceptional candidate, with a four-year streak of receiving scholarships during her time in university, attending internships at two major corporations during her sophomore year, and achieving excellent results on all her projects. Upon graduation, she even led her team in overseas business negotiations. Her frequent travel abroad could be the r
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 39 Toto
"Not one bit," Joseph replied honestly.If she was not coming for his money, it meant he did not have the ability to make her go after it.Chloe found herself at a loss for words.'How could he be so insensitive?' she thought, ‘Any normal guy would be moved by such words, so why is his response so indifferent?'Chloe fixed her gaze upon the mirror, observing her reflection. She had been honing her cooking skills lately and her principles of minimizing waste had led her to consume everything she prepared, regardless of its flavor. Consequently, she had gained some weight—particularly around her cheeks—and no longer appeared as slim as she used to.Standing with her hands on her hips, Chloe declared, "I've made a decision. Starting today, I'm going to go jogging with you every morning! Be sure to wake me up!"Joseph's eyes narrowed, tinged with a hint of suspicion. "What scheme are you cooking up now?"Chloe had been waking up around ten lately and had not made him breakfast in a
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 40 Not as Good as Chloe’s Cooking
Chloe tightened her grip on the railing as she asked, "May I know how you got my contact information?"'Did Baxon's HR give this person my number?'"That's not important. The important thing is whether you're still interested in our company. However, the position of Estrenian translator you wanted has been filled. Janice wasn't trying to make things hard for you the other day.“Anyway, the only available position open now with a salary and job scope that matches your capabilities is a project leader position. If this interests you, we can arrange a face-to-face meeting to discuss further.""Discuss it with you or with Janice who interviewed me before?"She had been highly annoyed during that incident and did not wish to meet with the HR personnel who randomly called people in for interviews just to meet performance goals."You'll be talking to me directly.""All right then. Let's set up a time to meet."*After the call ended, Chloe stared at her phone and got lost in thought.
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 41 Is Chloe Not Your Daughter?
Joseph stiffened and murmured robotically, "Yeah."Chloe's words were so pleasant that Harold felt like he was wrapped up in a cotton jacket. He beamed so wide that his smile reached his eyes. "Okay, okay. I’ll do as you say, Chloe."They enjoyed their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, and before Harold left in his car, he remembered that the two families had yet to meet. However, he resisted the urge to bring up the information he had uncovered about Chloe's family.'Well,' he thought, ‘I could just meet them on my own.'After seeing off Harold, Chloe removed the stickers on the refrigerator and carefully wiped off the glue that stuck to it with a cloth. As she wiped, she told Joseph, "I'll make it sparkling clean. I'll remove the potted plants on the balcony too. Rest assured. Your house will go back to exactly the way it was before.”Joseph felt a bit embarrassed at Chloe's words. She made it sound like he was the one being unreasonable here. He picked up the leash to take Tot

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
