Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 I’m Married, and My Wife’s Over There 

Calvin felt incredibly awkward, not knowing how to handle the situation. His square face turned red with embarrassment. 

On the other hand, Joseph had distanced himself from the family business long ago, opting to pursue ventures abroad. Despite his rebellious and detached demeanor, he possessed an exceptional aptitude for strategy and leadership, devoid of the typical deception often associated with businessmen. Recognizing these qualities, Harold held his grandson in high regard. However, Harold understood that bestowing the family business upon Joseph would be a narrow- minded decision, so he allowed Joseph to carve his own path and prove himself independently over the years. This decision did not sit well with the Whitmans’ core members, who harbored a deep-rooted desire to keep Joseph overseas, fearing he would snatch away the opportunities they held. 

Given this environment, it was only natural that nobody made a deliberate effort to unveil Joseph’s familial background prematurely. Alternatively, it could be attributed to Joseph’s formidable presence, as many people, including Calvin, often overlooked the fact that he was one of the Whitmans. 

With a seemingly ambiguous smile, Joseph remarked, “Uncle Calvin, we meet again. This is my wife, Chloe.” 

Displaying gentle compliance, Chloe added, “Hello, Uncle Calvin.” 

Calvin was at a loss for words and remained silent, He had never experienced such an awkward situation before in his entire life. It was only now that he realized the girl he met at Fairlight last time was Joseph’s wife 

Suddenly, he found himself embodying the archetypal elderly villain that was often portrayed in movies. 

“You two are already acquainted?” speculated Harold. “Have you collaborated in business?” 

Calvin hastily changed the subject. “Yes, yes. We had some minor business collaborations. Speaking of which, Mr. Harold, let me introduce you to someone.” He shifted his body slightly, revealing the young man behind him. “This is Noah Gunter, the grandson of the Sullivan elders.” 

Noah was dressed in a casual white shirt. His slightly disheveled hair fell gently over his forehead. Despite having a clean and charming youthful face, he looked more mature than his 

age. With warm, gentle eyes of hazel, he offered a welcoming smile and greeted, “Mr. Harold. Mr. Joseph. Ms. Chloe.” 

Harold was aware of the things that happened to Noah’s family. He felt deep sympathy and 

commented, “You’ve grown so much. Are you married yet?” 

Noah chuckled and replied, “Mr. Whitman, I’m still pursuing my studies. 

Harold appeared momentarily surprised. “Are you in your final year?” 

“Yes, I’m currently a senior, and I intend to continue my education through postgraduate studies.” 

“That’s commendable. However, it might be time to consider marriage. Your grandfather is a great 

man. I don’t understand why he hasn’t taken the initiative to arrange one for you.” 

Noah replied with a warm and gentle smile, “I feel that I’m still young, so there’s no rush.” 

Harold agreed, “You’re right. Joseph only found a wife at nearly thirty.” 

Joseph, uninterested in the conversation, decided to lead Chloe to the refreshment area. Chloe’s empty stomach grumbled with hunger, but after indulging in a piece of cheesecake, her satisfied expression brightened her entire being. 

“If you’re tired, feel free to rest,” Joseph said. 

“Okay.” Chloe understood that occasions like these often involved drinking. She gestured toward the nearby vintage sofa and said, “I’ll wait for you here.” 

Harold could not help but worry about Noah. There was not a trace of the typical businessman aura about him. Instead, he exuded the air of a scholar. He pondered about Noah’s future with a hint of concern. 

Calvin saw through the thoughts in Harold’s mind and chuckled softly. “The kid’s quite shrewd. Just a few days ago, he enlightened me on a few matters.” 

“Is that so?” Harold was surprised. 

“Yeah.” 

While Noah appeared harmless and pure on the surface, beneath his facade, he concealed a cunning nature. It was not far-fetched to say that he was a wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing. 

At this moment, Noah bid farewell to Harold and promptly left.
