Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Why Don’t You Be With Uncle Icarus? 

“Are you insane? Aren’t you afraid Xavia will find out?” Chloe exclaimed. 

“How is it any of her business?” Joseph replied nonchalantly as he swept up a lock of her hair and greedily inhaled its scent. 

Chloe remained silent. 

‘What a jerk!’ 

Aside from Joseph tightly embracing her and being nearly suffocated, nothing happened throughout the night. After enduring a night of humiliation, Chloe returned to her house the next morning and took a refreshing shower. Once clean, she squeezed a glass of orange juice and prepared to change into her work attire. 

Suddenly, Jake came knocking on the door. 

Chloe was surprised. “What are you doing here?” 

“My mom told me that something happened to your family and that Benjamin and Karen were arrested. I was worried about you, so I came to check on you,” Jake explained. 

“I was the one who got them sent to jail, not the other way around. What’s there to worry about?” Chloe retorted. 

Jake scratched his head. “I’m afraid Ava will seek revenge on you.” After all, he knew Ava quite well and was aware of her vindictive nature. 

Chloe finished her glass of orange juice in one go and replied, “I know, but I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.” 

Ava now had Calvin backing her, while Chloe was fighting alone. It would be untrue to claim she felt no fear. She could only be cautious in her daily life and remain on guard at all times. 

Jake looked at Chloe with concern and spoke earnestly, “Why don’t you be with Uncle Icarus? Let him take care of you. That way, Ava won’t be able to hurt you.” 

Although he desperately wanted to say those words himself, he no longer had the privilege to do so. Only Icarus was worthy of being by Chloe’s side now. 

Chloe helplessly replied, “There’s no need for that.” 

It was too late now. She had just ended one relationship and did not want to hastily start another. 

“Why?” he asked. 

“Why do there have to be so many ‘whys?’ I have work to handle at the office. If there’s nothing else, you should leave. Don’t let your fiancee misunderstand me,” Chloe replied, 

remembering the conversation she had with Icarus about the arranged marriage between Jake and his new fiancee. 

Jake felt embarrassed. “How’s the current situation at the office? Is it running smoothly?” 

“Not good. There are a lot of troubles,” Chloe responded. 

Jake made a mental note of her words and planned to discuss them with Icarus later. 

Chloe 

spent the morning typing away on her keyboard, working on a proposal. After careful consideration, she decided to pay a visit to the Grahams. 

‘Why not give it a try? Perhaps they would be interested in the new proposal?’ 

Maybe it was thanks to her connection with Joseph, Chloe had no trouble meeting with Alexander himself. After showing him the proposal, to her surprise, Alexander readily agreed. 

She hesitated for a moment before asking, “If I may be so bold, did you agree to collaborate with the Johnsons because of Joseph? If that’s the case, I want to say that I and Joseph-” 

Alexander interrupted her before she could finish her sentence and smiled. “I know about your relationship with Mr. Joseph. Even without him, I value the proposal you’ve provided, Ms. 

Chloe.”
