Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 She Loves Me to the Point of Obsession 

Emily went to answer the door, a perplexed expression on her face as she accepted the takeout delivery. 

“Did you order food, Coco?” she asked. 

“No, I didn’t,” replied Chloe. 

“Neither did I,” Emily said. 

At that moment, Icarus called. 

“Chloe, I ordered some food for you guys. I’m not sure if it suits your taste, but I heard that indulging in sweets can lift your mood when you’re feeling down, so I got some for you,” Icarus explained. 

Chloe whispered softly, “Thank you…” 

“No need to be polite with me. If you need anything, feel free to reach out anytime,” Icarus assured her. 

“Okay, goodbye,” Chloe said before hanging up. 

Emily handed Chloe a cup of ice cream smoothie with a beaming smile. “Since you’ve ended things with Joseph, why not consider Icarus? I think he’s quite decent.” 

“I did break up with Joseph, but we still have a contract. If necessary, I’ll still have to pretend to be his wife,” Chloe replied. 

“Hmm, if I recall correctly, you mentioned that you became his wife to deceive his 

grandfather. If he were to reignite his relationship with his first love, wouldn’t that grant you your freedom?” Emily asked. 

“I don’t know either. Let’s play it by ear,” Chloe replied. 

She had taken three days off from work. Firstly, her twisted ankle made it difficult for her to walk, and secondly, she did not want to see Joseph right now. Not having to take care of the dog or cater to his needs significantly improved her mood. 

During these three days, aside from Icarus visiting her every day, Joseph did not call her or send a single text. Such behavior aligned with his usual temperament. 

In the afternoon, Icarus brought some desserts to visit Chloe. After examining her ankle, he remarked, “The swelling has gone down. You should be able to walk now.” 

“Yes, I don’t feel any pain anymore. Thank you for the medicine you brought,” Chloe expressed her gratitude. 

“You’re welcome,” Icarus said as he adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge. “Do 

you want to go to the beach?” 

Chloe shook her head. “I just want to be a couch potato for now.” 

It had been a while since she had the chance to relax. She was willing to go to the beach, but she did not want to go with Icarus. Since she had no intention of being with him, she should not give him any hope. 

Icarus expressed understanding. “You can’t refuse to come with me tomorrow night. It’s my birthday, after all.” 

Chloe was momentarily stunned, and she slapped her forehead in frustration. “I’m sorry, I forgot. Send me the address.” 

“I’ll pick you up tomorrow, don’t worry. I have a gathering in the afternoon, but I’ll swing by after,” Icarus said. 

“Okay.” 

After Icarus left, Chloe went to the mall. It would be inappropriate to attend a birthday celebration empty-handed. She was not sure what to buy, but she noticed that Icarus seemed to enjoy wearing suits, so she bought him a tailored suit jacket. 

This scene was observed by Samuel, who came out to discuss matters with a client. He had not expected to encounter Chloe buying clothes for Joseph. However, that brand of suit jacket would cost at most a few thousand dollars, while Joseph’s clothes were all custom-made. Would he even wear something like that? 

A trace of amusement flickered in Samuel’s eyes. He found an angle and took a photo of Chloe paying for the suit jacket, then sent it to Joseph. 

[Look, she’s buying clothes for you. Although, I think that’s not a brand you like, right?]
