Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Toto Lying in a Pool of Blood 

Chloe’s eyelid twitched as she helplessly watched him storm out and slam the door behind him. The force of the door closing was tremendous, causing the frame to shake and appear on the verge of collapsing. She felt a mixture of anger and amusement. 

She could not help but wonder, ‘What the hell is wrong with him? Just because I spoke the truth, he couldn’t handle it anymore? What a strange guy.’ 

After Joseph left, Chloe got the maintenance department staff to fix the door frame, which was on the brink of falling apart. Then, she settled down and busied herself with work. She kept herself occupied until evening. Although she had initially planned to work overtime, she remembered the doctor’s advice and decided to go home on time to rest. After all, rest was important during the first three months of pregnancy. 

Chloe grabbed dinner at a restaurant downstairs of the office building and returned home to wash up and sleep. In the middle of the night, she heard a commotion as if a dog was barking incessantly. She drowsily opened her eyes and got out of bed to investigate. 

In the darkness, she saw Toto, looking pitiful and lost in the yard. Its big round eyes were filled with confusion and fear. As soon as the dog recognized her, it happily wagged its tail and affectionately nuzzled her hand with its fluffy head, 

Chloe was surprised as she looked out into the pitch-black surroundings. There was no one around. “How did you get here, Toto?” she asked. 

Without dwelling too much on it, she went to the bedroom to grab her phone and called Joseph. She dialed twice, but there was no answer. Most likely, he was asleep and had his phone on silent. 

Chloe bent down and petted the dog. “Did you run away?” 

After their separation, Xavia once brought Toto and Oreo to her house under the pretext of learning how to make pet snacks. Chloe had no desire to teach her, but when she noticed that Oreo and Toto had lost significant weight, her heart ached. She personally prepared a large batch of pet snacks and told Xavia to take them back home. However, that was the only time they came. 

“Did you memorize the way after just one visit?” she asked. 

Chloe was well aware that Border Collies were known for their intelligence, but besides that explanation, she could not fathom how Toto could have shown up in her yard in the middle of the night. 

Chloe gently stroked Toto’s sleek fur and softly asked, “Did you miss me and secretly come. here to see me?” 

Toto blinked its big, sparkling eyes and tilted its head, seemingly unable to comprehend what 

she was talking about. 

“Haha, okay, okay. I guess I’ve given you too much credit.” Chloe chuckled. 

Although Toto was a Border Collie, it was not particularly bright. She was confident that Toto must have seized the opportunity of Joseph being asleep and sneaked out to enjoy some playtime. Unfortunately, it became disoriented and could not find its way back home. Guided solely by its memory, it eventually ended up at her place. 

Chloe placed Toto in the yard, locked the gate, and decided to wait until the next day when Joseph woke up to give him a call to ask him to come and take the dog back. 

At eight o’clock in the morning, Chloe woke up. Putting on her slippers, she descended the stairs and was immediately hit by a strong, pungent smell of blood. A sense of foreboding surged within her, urging her to quicken her pace. In the courtyard, she witnessed a distressing sight.
