Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Do You Take Me for a Fool? 

Lucas, who was sitting in the front row, spoke up at the opportune moment, “Sir, shall I wait for you downstairs?” 

He did not want to be the third wheel and disturb their intimate moment. Besides, if they had a baby, he could take a break from his job! 

“Are you sure you want to do it in the car?” Chloe asked hesitantly. 

‘Is he in the mood for intimacy because spring is here?‘ 

“What kind of dirty thoughts are filling your minds?” Joseph asked, letting out a humorless laugh. 

“Huh?” 

‘Isn’t he suggesting something intimate?‘ 

“You talked to another man behind my back, and I’m going to punish you for it.” 

“We were just having a normal conversation!” 

“Don’t argue with me.” 

Samuel was clearly trying to warn Joseph earlier. Chloe’s refusal to admit her wrongdoing only fueled Joseph’s anger, and the air inside the car turned chillingly cold despite that the air conditioning was off. 

Shivering from the chill, Chloe bit her lip and tried to ignore Lucas‘ presence. 

Seizing the lead, Chloe enveloped Joseph in her embrace, her 

hands gently caressing his back, feigning innocence as she steered the conversation away. “Please don’t be angry anymore. You can punish me however you want. Getting angry is bad for your health, and I’ll feel bad about it.” 

Strangely enough, her words managed to assuage his temper to some extent. Joseph’s anger diminished slightly as he gazed at the delicate figure before him, captivated by her dark tresses, fair complexion, sparkling eyes, and rosy plump cheeks that radiated a sense of gentleness and purity. 

He gulped hard, and the fierce light in his eyes dimmed. 

Feeling a sense of discomfort being seated on his lap, Chloe subtly adjusted her position. As she raised her head, she met Joseph’s scorching gaze and a blush immediately graced her cheeks. “What’s the matter?” 

Joseph took a deep breath. He had not initially had such 

thoughts, but he could not resist when tempted and enticed by her. ‘I have to admit, this dumbo knows how to play her cards right when it comes to seduction.‘ 

“Get off me.” Joseph’s voice cut through the air with a commanding tone. 

“Okay!” Chloe hastily got off his lap, but she felt something was amiss. 

In the next second, Joseph removed his suit jacket and draped it over his thighs, his eyes resembled a predator as they locked onto Chloe. “If you dare to misbehave again, I’ll punish you. Consider this a one–time exception.” 

Chloe mustered a bold and fearless expression, challenging him, “And how do you plan to punish me?” 

“By spanking you,” Joseph replied. 

“…Let’s explore other options,” Chloe suggested. 

“You don’t get to choose,” Joseph retorted, his tone unwavering. 

Chloe wished she could find a hole to crawl into. ‘How could he do this to me? He pinched my buttocks last time, and now he wants to spank me?‘ 

Sitting at the front, Lucas could not help but be entertained by the spectacle playing out before him. Suppressing his 

laughter, he seized the opportunity to intervene, speaking up with a composed demeanor, “Sir, I’ve already taken the liberty of notifying Finance to process the payment for Mr. Samuel.” 

“Okay.” 

“Is it 1 million?” Chloe asked. 

“28 million,” Lucas replied. 

Chloe’s mouth dropped open, and she exploded with astonishment. “I thought it was only 1 mil!” 

‘When did it skyrocket to 28?!‘
