Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Two Nicknames-“Jojo” When Happy, “Joseph” When Angry 

Diego followed Joseph’s gaze and was overcome by embarrassment. His daughter paled in comparison to the stunning young lady before him. His daughter was always indulging in food, lacking in the grace and elegance that this young lady exuded. 

His daughter’s figure was far from slender, and her features could not compare to the exquisite beauty of the young lady. 

Diego did not press the matter further. His main objective was to strike a deal in private and secure an investment from Joseph. After all, with Joseph confident that money was never a concern for Joseph. 

eing in the financial industry, he was 

“Mr. Joseph, are you interested in the seafood business? I have something else in mind that I’d like to discuss with you. It’s guaranteed to be profitable,” Diego proposed. 

“I’m not particularly interested in the seafood business,” Joseph replied nonchalantly, “But if you’re looking for a suitable match for your daughter within the Whitmans, I wouldn’t mind helping with the matchmaking. There are plenty of eligible candidates among the unmarried men of my family’s branches.” 

Diego’s eyes lit up. The hope of marrying his chubby daughter into the main Whitman family was dashed, but marriage to a branch family might still be possible. “Which branch are you referring to, sir?” he asked. 

“There are so many suitable candidates, I heard that your daughter has high standards,” Joseph’ remarked casually. 

“Nope. Not at all. She’s a bit overweight,” Diego admitted. 

It was good to have some self-awareness Although men liked a full-bodied figure, she was indeed a bit chubby. 

Diego did not dare to lie to Joseph. 

“Overweight?” Joseph frowned and feigned a faint perplexity that managed to deceive even Diego. “I recall her being quite slim.” 

Diego burst into laughter. “She weighs about 200 pounds. She isn’t slim at all. Mr. Joseph, could you have mistaken someone else for her?” 

“Maybe. Uncle Calvin told me that her name was Ava,” Joseph said, his pitch-black eyes locked onto Diego, his tone drawn out. “I was wondering why your surname is Bailey while your daughter’s surname is Johnson Looks like I made a mistake.” 

Diego froze in place, his face turning pale and then red. Finally, he pleaded in a low voice, “Mr. Joseph, please don’t mention this to anyone. If my wife finds out, she’ll eat me alive.” 

Dealing with his wife was manageable, but his wife’s family was a force to be reckoned with! 

Joseph chuckled, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. If you’re truly worried, why not ask Uncle Calvin about it?”

Diego pulled Calvin to a corner, but their conversation quickly escalated into a heated argument. The more they argued, the louder it became, attracting the attention of the surrounding guests. 

“What nonsense are you spouting? Ava is my goddaughter and has nothing to do with you.” 

“I don’t care who she is to you, but she has nothing to do with me either. Stop spreading baseless rumors!” 

“When did I spread baseless rumors? You’re the one who’s spouting nonsense here!” 

Feeling increasingly guilty and anxious as more people gathered around, Diego hurriedly slipped into the crowd without looking back. 

Chloe, who had been observing with interest, raised her head and admired the man beside her, her face filled with admiration. “Jojo, you’re so good at causing trouble for others!” 

Joseph had made them suspect and doubt each other, and then they would both go looking for trouble with the Johnsons. 

He looked at her smiling face and recalled a saying: “A kid will only go to their parents when their car is having problems.” 

‘She calls me Jojo when in a good mood. When she’s not, she calls me by my given name. She’s been grumpy on the way here, and now…’ When the thought surfaced in his mind, he chuckled. ‘ What a realistic woman.’
