Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Did I Ever Say I’d Marry You? 

Xavia took a deep breath. Just when she was about to lash out at Lucas, Joseph appeared at the doorway. 

A flicker of emotion passed through her eyes as she spoke with a choked voice, “I’m fine. I’m just worried about our baby. If anything happens to them, I wouldn’t know how to go on living.” 

“What did the doctor say?” Joseph asked as he walked in. He adjusted his tie, and his eyes were devoid of any 

warmth. 

Lucas replied, “Sir, Ms. Xavia is fine. She just needs to calm down and rest.” 

Joseph nodded and signaled for Lucas to leave. 

Lucas nodded and glanced at Xavia before closing the door. He thought pregnant women would experience volatile emotions as she was berating him angrily just moments ago and now seemed so pitiful, but it turned out that she had spotted Joseph. 

‘Mr. Harold was right. She indeed is a scheming bitch.‘ 

However, this had nothing to do with him since he was just working for Joseph. All adults were capable of manipulation, and Chloe had played many tricks when pursuing Joseph. He just hoped that Xavia would not go too far with her actions. 

Joseph sat in the chair by the bed, his intense gaze fixed on her. “How did you fall?” 

Xavia sniffled. “I tripped. I’m fine now.” 

“Has your chemotherapy ended?” 

“It ended before I got pregnant.” She forced a smile, a hint of grievance in her voice. “Joe, you’re becoming more and more indifferent toward me. It’s common for husbands to accompany their pregnant wives for check–ups. Could you please accompany me next time?” 

Joseph’s brow furrowed slightly as he came to a realization. He acknowledged that he had not been providing the level of care and attention that Xavia deserved. However, deep down, he could not shake the feeling that his lack of emotional investment was justified. After all, he did not love her, so why should he prioritize her well–being and show concern? The only thing he cared about was the child in her womb. 

“I’m very busy. If you need someone to accompany you, you can hire someone.” 

Xavia could not help but blurt out, “Are you too busy dealing with Chloe’s troubles?” 

Joseph raised an eyebrow and gazed at her coldly. 

Suppressing her rising anger, she put on a smile and said, “Joe, you know me well. I’ve never been concerned about fame and fortune. But now that we have a child, regardless of your true

feelings toward me, shouldn’t you consider my feelings in public?” 

He remained silent, gesturing for her to continue. 

“When our child grows up and sees their father with another woman in the media, even if she is your ex–wife, it’ll hurt the child. Let’s imagine the worst–case scenario. What if his classmates and friends start making malicious jokes because of it? Would it not break your heart?” 

“You’re right,” Joseph responded. 

Xavia felt a glimmer of joy. “It’s good to know that you understand.” 

“But…” His sharp eyebrows revealed a hint of disdain as he said, “Did I ever say I’d marry you? 

Xavia’s expression stiffened as she pretended not to mind. “Even if you don’t, I’m still the mother of our child.” 

“Don’t worry, I won’t let him see you.”
