Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254 You Want to Break Up? 

Chloe stared at Joseph, her throat so constricted that she could not utter a word. 

The more Joseph met her gaze, the more agitated he felt, so he averted his eyes altogether. ” Xavia will be here soon. Wait here,” he instructed. 

Chloe let out a bitter smile and said, “Fine, I’ll apologize as you wish.” 

Upon hearing her words, Joseph’s expression improved slightly. However, when his gaze fell upon her swollen and barefoot, his brows furrowed again. Yet, he remained silent. After all, he believed that occasional discipline was necessary for her to understand how to conduct herself in the future. 

Ten minutes later, Xavia arrived. She looked at Chloe and said, “Oreo was found near the residential area. Ms. Chloe, you may not be happy with my sudden appearance, but I still believe that no matter the reason, we shouldn’t resort to violence against dogs. They’re innocent. I’ll take Oreo back and take care of him. Thank you for your efforts over these past few days.” 

“Oreo is your dog, and whether you decide to take him away or not is up to you. However, I still want to apologize. I bear some responsibility for the fact that those two dog thieves took Toto and Oreo away today,” Chloe said. 

Xavia frowned slightly as she corrected her, “All the evidence shows that you lost them. It’s obvious. There wasn’t any sign of dog thieves throughout the whole incident. There’s no need to shift the blame. While Joe and I may be angry, we never blamed you.” 

Chloe chuckled. “Is that so? Then I must thank you both.” 

“Chloe, is this how you apologize?” Joseph asked, his voice stern. 

“What else can I say? Admit to something I didn’t do?” 

The veins on his temple pulsated fiercely. 

Xavia shook her head at Joseph. “It’s fine, Joe. It’s normal for Chloe to struggle when taking care of two dogs alone. I’ll leave now. You two can talk things out.” 

Chloe watched this scene with amusement. ‘One’s playing the role of good cop and the other bad cop. How interesting.” 

Xavia left as if she truly feared disturbing them. However, Chloe wondered if the truth was as it appeared. 

It was difficult for Chloe to believe that Sophia, who had joined the company less than a week ago, harbored such animosity toward her. Was Sophia’s true motivation solely focused on pursuing Joseph, or was there an underlying motive?

One thing was certain-Sophia’s appearance in Fairlight was far from simple. 

The spacious office returned to silence. Joseph raised his gaze and observed Chloe, who stood motionless in her place. Eventually, his heart softened, and he spoke with a slower, gentler tone, “Come here.” 

“I refuse,” Chloe replied firmly and decisively. 

“What did you say?” Joseph thought she was being stubborn again. 

“I think we should seriously consider whether this relationship is right for both of us,” Chloe expressed. She took a deep breath before continuing, “Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship, yet you continuously doubt me. I can’t endure such a relationship. It’s draining and exhausting.”
