Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Dazzled 

Icarus let out a chuckle, feeling dazzled by the sight of Lucas and attributing it to a trick of the 

eyes. 

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and resumed walking toward the front desk. 

“Hi, Table 8 just settled the payment,” the staff informed Icarus, catching him off guard. His immediate thought was that it must be Chloe, but when he returned to his seat, she was nowhere to be found. 

“Where’s Chloe?” Icarus asked, his voice thick with concern. 

Harry shrugged, indicating he did not know. “Lily’s finding out.” 

“But weren’t you here earlier, Lily?” 

“The heat was killing me, so I went to the nearby store to buy an ice cream. When I came back, Chloe was already gone,” Lily explained, pulling out her phone. “I’ll call and ask her. Maybe she went to the restroom.” 

Icarus’s 

eyes narrowed slightly. “Chloe has had quite a few drinks. The alcohol should be kicking in right now.” 

On the highway. 

Chloe nestled into the comfort of the car’s back seat, her mind abuzz like a train zipping back and forth on its tracks. The bustling traffic outside the car window resembled a living 

painting. She was feeling a bit dizzy and wanted to call Lily, but her phone rang first. 

“Chloe, did you go to the restroom?” 

“No, something urgent came up, so I went home first.” 

Beside her, Joseph’s lips twitched. Even in her drunken state, this dumbo could still utter such things with a straight face. 

“Okay, Chloe. Let us know when you get home, okay?” 

“Mm, okay.” 

After ending the call, Chloe relaxed and closed her eyes, longing for a nap. 

“Liar.” 

Joseph’s voice, neither light nor heavy, entered her ears. Although devoid of emotion, it carried a hint of taunting. 

Chloe gritted her teeth. “I had to lie because you showed up without any warning.” 

The restaurant Chloe and her friends were dining at was situated in an alley, inaccessible to cars. Being located on a busy street, a car could not park there for an extended period. 

Chloe had no choice but to leave first. 

“I told you I’d come to pick you up. 

“So, I’m supposed to be on standby for you all the time? Everready to be picked up by you?” 

“This is a privilege.” 

Chloe fell silent. 

‘F*ck your privilege.’ 

She felt the onset of motion sickness, accompanied by dizziness and a churning stomach. She decided to close her eyes and rest, seeking solace in silence. Gradually, the car fell into quiet tranquility, and the soft glow of the lights enveloped the space. 

Her sitting posture lacked elegance, despite her long legs and the high heels that accentuated her graceful curves. Yet, her face remained flushed, exuding an innocent, endearing charm. 

Joseph’s eyelashes fluttered. Unable to resist the urge, he reached out to pinch her cute cheeks. 

Chloe’s eyes suddenly flew open. Perhaps due to the alcohol clouding her mind, she became a little bolder and angrily slapped his hand away with considerable force, her voice tinged with anger as she said, “What do you think you’re doing?”
