Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307 He Wants to Spend More Time With Me?

Joseph’s breath was scorching, his large hands cupping her cheeks. He looked deeply into her eyes and whispered, “Tell me, where do you want to go?” 

“The car.” 

Joseph agreed and released his grip on her wrist. 

Seizing this opportunity, Chloe swiftly utilized the self-defense techniques she had learned in the past. With precision and speed, she raised her knee and delivered a fierce kick to Joseph’s lower body. Caught off guard, he instantly turned pale, his handsome face contorted with at ferocious and grim expression as if he were ready to devour someone whole. 

Terrified, Chloe could not bring herself to look back and hastily pushed open the door, fleeing in a state of panic. As the forum reached its conclusion, Icarus noticed Chloe’s flushed face and could not help but express his curiosity. “Didn’t you go to the restroom? Why are you so sweaty?” 

Chloe guiltily replied, “The restroom was crowded.” 

Icarus nodded, but before he could inquire further, a group of men approached him and engaged him in conversation. Sensing an opportunity, Chloe discreetly moved aside, taking out her phone and using the front camera to adjust her slightly disheveled appearance. 

Her wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her petite face bore a hint of anger. The corners of her eyes were red and watery from the intense encounter. There was a vulnerable quality to her appearance, making her look especially pitiful. A discerning observer could easily sense that something out of the ordinary had just occurred. 

As Joseph emerged from the restroom, he was confronted with this scene. The smoldering flames that had momentarily subsided now roared back to life within him. Chloe raised her head, and their eyes locked together in a charged gaze. 

The pristine state of Joseph’s once neatly arranged shirt had been disrupted, bearing witness to certain misdeeds that had taken place. The wrinkles on his shirt served as tangible evidence. of their encounter. 

Chloe’s heart raced with a mixture of fear and uncertainty. It was the first time she had rebelled without fully considering the consequences, unsure of whether the man would go crazy. 

Joseph closed the distance between them with firm steps, his presence commanding as ever.” Come with me,” he demanded. 

“I refuse.” 

“You made me a promise.” 

Chloe paused and quickly glanced at the calendar app on her phone, confirming that today was already the 28th. With only two days remaining until the end of the month, she had no choice but to face the consequences of her delay. 

Observing Chloe’s reluctant expression, Joseph’s brows furrowed in clear displeasure. “You want to go back on your word?” he questioned, his voice tinged with frustration. 

“Taking advantage and then not being accountable? Is she a hypocrite? Hadn’t she been by Icarus’ side all day long and attending to his every need? Isn’t that enough?’ 

Chloe felt the weight of Joseph’s gloomy aura pressing down on her, rendering her speechless. Reluctantly, she acquiesced, her voice barely above a whisper. “Fine, I’ll go with you, but I need to drop Icarus off first. He’s still recovering and has difficulty walking.” 

Joseph’s gaze turned frigid, a look capable of freezing the air. He suppressed his jealousy and responded curtly, “Leave it to Lucas.” 

Without further delay, he seized her hand and dragged her outside. 

Back at the villa, Toto was the first to emerge, followed closely by Oreo. 

Chloe’s heart sank as she noticed their presence. “You’re living together with Xavia?” 

Joseph responded with annoyance, “I prefer living alone.” 

She could not help but feel a pang of guilt. She had been too quick to judge him, always ready to assume he was a scumbag. She had forgotten that he had only made one mistake and it was not his true nature. 

Chloe inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. “And Oreo…” 

“Xavia went on a trip.” 

‘A trip?’ 

“Can her body handle it?” 

‘A cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy going on a trip? Wouldn’t that hinder her treatment?’ Chloe pondered to herself. 

At Chloe’s reminder, Joseph also realized something was amiss. However, he did not see it as a significant issue. Some cancer patients felt a strong desire to explore the world and make the most of their time, seeking to avoid any regrets. 

After silently deciding to avoid discussing Xavia any further, it seemed as though both Chloe and Joseph understood the unspoken agreement. 

Feeling a sense of responsibility, Chloe headed to the kitchen. However, upon opening the fridge, she was greeted with emptiness. Perplexed, she asked, “Did you not buy groceries this month?”
