Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387 Your Darling Is Waiting for You, Isn’t He? 

“Sir, it’s not what you think. The weather today is simply too hot, and I’ve been sweating a lot, “the staff nervously explained. 

“That’s your problem.” 

“Y-Yes… I apologize, sir.” 

Joseph firmly held onto Chloe’s hand and started walking away. Chloe glanced down at their intertwined fingers, her confusion growing as she wondered, ‘He completely ignored me all afternoon, and now he’s acting all strange again?’ 

Attempting to free her hand, Chloe pulled with all her strength, but Joseph’s grip remained unyielding. 

“What are you doing?” 

“Escorting you.” 

“…I don’t need you to escort me.” 

“Shut up.” 

Chloe was on the verge of speaking, but suddenly her stomach churned, and she immediately covered her mouth and began to retch. 

Joseph’s face darkened instantly. “Do I disgust you?” 

“No, it’s not that. I just feel a bit nauseous.” 

His expression softened slightly, and he asked coldly, “Is it an upset stomach?” 

“It’s not that. I’m not sure what’s wrong.” 

After fully moving out of the Johnsons’ residence, Chloe found her life becoming much more relaxed. Even during busy work days, she would indulge in snacks, and her stomach problems had significantly improved. She rarely experienced any discomfort or pain since then. 

“Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?” Joseph suggested. 

“No, there’s no need. I’m fine,” Chloe replied. She did not consider the nauseating feeling to be a serious issue. Perhaps she had simply eaten something that did not agree with her recently. 

Joseph remained silent, gesturing for Chloe to fasten her seatbelt. Though she could not comprehend his hot and cold behavior, she could not resist him in the end and obediently let him drive her. 

During the journey, they passed by the jewelry store she had visited before, only to find it still 

closed. It had been closed during her previous visit as well. If it were operating normally, it would not remain closed for such an extended period. 

As they continued driving onto Concord Avenue, they came across a road collapse that obstructed their path. Chloe took the initiative, suggesting, “Let’s stop here. I’ll find an alternative route through a side road.” 

Joseph’s gaze fixated on the dark and dimly lit alley nearby. His brows furrowed ever so slightly, almost unnoticeable, as he responded, “As you wish.” Having already accommodated. her by driving this far, her safety was no longer of his concern. 

Chloe blinked, her gaze drawn to the arrogant tilt of his chin and enticing Adam’s apple. Her palm itched with the desire to touch him. Although he was an asshole, his appearance was unparalleled. 

“I remember the matter of the note. Give me some time to think of a solution.” 

Throughout the past year, she had been unable to do much to assist him. However, this one thing was something she was determined to handle well. 

“Do you think I wanted to discuss that matter with you and that’s the reason I volunteered to drive you home?” 

“Yes.” 

He had maintained a furrowed brow throughout the drive, and his sudden offer to drive her home was likely because he did not want to bring up the subject in front of Adam and the 

others. 

Joseph gazed steadily at Chloe and sneered. “You’re right.” 

At the entrance of the alley, a group of delinquent youths emerged. Their arms displayed prominent tattoos as they cast lewd glances at Chloe, assessing her figure and appearance. 

Chloe felt a bit intimidated, but she swiftly composed herself. Taking out her phone, she held it to her ear, projecting an air of indifference to their presence, and continued walking further into the alley. 

“Darling, I’m out of the car. Are you coming out?” 

“Oh, you’re waiting for me at the alley exit?” 

“Yes, I’ll be there in a moment.”
