Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 213

Chapter 213 Want to See What She Looks Like?

Chloe’s parched throat burned. She had not had any water for a long time, rendering her voice hoarse and feeble.

“Water,” she croaked.

In response to her plea, Joseph immediately released her hand and poured a glass of water for her. Chloe eagerly gulped it down, relieving the dryness in her throat and alleviating the stinging sensation. Then, she fell silent again.

Joseph firmly held her chin, compelling her to meet his gaze. He emanated an imposing presence that exuded intimidation. “What are you thinking about?” he asked.

“I’m thinking about what you’re thinking,” Chloe replied.

“And have you figured it out?”

“I have my guesses,” she replied. “You’re married, yet you’re seeing another woman. While you want Xavia, you want me as well.”

Chloe’s eyes bore into his, concealing a deep sense of disdain. He was the one who kicked her out of his car, and now he was pretending to be worried about her. He truly was a despicable man.

Joseph sneered coldly. “Are you jealous?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

After a whole day, his anger subsided, and rationality reclaimed its dominion. Upon contemplation, he comprehended the reason behind Chloe’s atypical behavior. She had been in love with him for so long, so she would not simply give him to Xavia without a fight. Her previous remarks were merely manifestations of jealousy.

Chloe looked at him with a bewildering expression for a moment. “Do you think of me as some idiot who’s obsessed with love? You abandoned me on the roadside, leaving me to be drenched in the rain for nearly three hours. Even if I had strong feelings for you, I should wake up by now, shouldn’t I?”

Her words struck a nerve, igniting the explosive emotions within both of them. Joseph’s voice turned icy, tinged with profound irritation. “If you couldn’t bear it, why didn’t you come back?”

He had been behind her all along.

At this point, the accumulated grievances in Chloe’s heart burst forth, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. “Why should I go back when you were the one who kicked me away? Though I may not have money, I still have my integrity! Now that you’ve reconciled with Xavia, I genuinely wish you welmmph-”

Chloe’s words were abruptly silenced as the man pressed his lips against hers. She stared wide- eyed at the man who kissed her, vigorously resisting his advances.

‘Help! I didn’t want to become a home wrecker!’

Joseph’s desire to dominate Chloe was rekindled by her words. Driven by anger, he instinctively leaned down, silencing her incessant chatter with his lips.

The world fell into silence, but Chloe continued to struggle against him. Unsatisfied, he firmly

grasped the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

Weakened by her illness, Chloe resisted for a while before succumbing to her fatigue, allowing him to take control. However, he was not willing to let her off easily. His hand ventured beneath the loose hospital gown, attempting to explore further.

At the crucial moment, Joseph abruptly halted his actions. He cradled her face in his hands, forehead pressed against hers, his eyes exuding an irresistible command.

“I haven’t reconciled with Xavia, and you can forget about giving me up that easily. I’m a person, not an object. Understand?” he uttered, their breaths intertwined.

Chloe’s head spun, feeling somewhat breathless as she unconsciously repeated his words. “You haven’t reconciled with Xavia? But I saw you holding hands…”

Joseph sighed in frustration. “She suddenly grabbed onto me.”

“And Xavia wants you to spend more time with her…”

“I rejected her.”

Chloe’s cherry lips parted slightly, realizing that she had misunderstood everything.

Joseph looked at her dumbfounded expression and chuckled as he pinched her cheek. “I’m not an indecisive person. Back at the hospital, I only forgave her for leaving without a word all those years ago. Besides that, I made no other promises.

Chloe found herself at a loss for words. Not only had she misunderstood Joseph, but also ended up drenched in the rain due to her own actions. Although it was a misunderstanding, she now knew that Xavia had deliberately started a rift between her and Joseph.

“By the way, why did she suddenly disappear back then?” she asked.

“She fell ill,” he replied.

Chloe blinked skeptically, finding it hard to believe that explanation. She was certain that Joseph did not believe it either, but that did not matter anymore.

Chloe stayed in the hospital for a full week. When the doctor confirmed her complete recovery for the third time, he finally managed to persuade Joseph to agree to have her discharged.

On the day of Chloe’s discharge, Emily came to visit her and even bought her a dress, which she claimed only both of them had. Chloe, tired of wearing the hospital gown, eagerly changed into it. The floral dress had a fresh and youthful vibe, making her look like a college student.

Emily looked her up and down, rubbing her chin. “Not bad, not bad. You look much better than

that ‘first love.”

In the hearts of all girls, their best friend was the most adorable and beautiful creature in the world. Even though Emily’s perception of Chloe was enhanced by rose-tinted glasses, there was no denying that Chloe had remarkable looks and figure. If Chloe were to enter the entertainment industry, Emily was confident she would achieve great success.

Chloe twirled in front of the mirror and said, “Want to see what she looks like?”

“Yeah!”
