Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 Sullivan 

– 

A Rare Family Name 

Chloe’s cheeks flushed as she observed Joseph’s serious expression. Hastily, she dove under the covers and wrapped herself up tightly. Only her clear eyes peered out to express her protest. “Thanks but no thanks!” 

She felt unfairly judged as if she were some sort of hooker. 

‘Come on. I’m a woman with integrity, all right?!’ 

The only time she had compromised her principles was when she had impulsively pursued a relationship with Jake’s uncle, but that had been a result of a series of misunderstandings. 

Sensing her shyness, Joseph leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, offering reassurance once more. “Don’t worry. I will definitely fulfill your desire tomorrow.” 

Chloe remained silent. 

Both of them enjoyed a restful sleep, and even Joseph could not resist staying in bed until eleven in the morning. 

Chloe had a peaceful night’s sleep, and her skin glowed today. Her naturally flawless cheeks, untouched by makeup, were as delicate and smooth as a peeled egg, offering a luscious burst of freshness with each bite. 

She changed out of her pajamas into a well-fitted dress that accentuated her graceful figure. With each step she took, she exuded elegance and charm, captivating everyone in her presence. 

Joseph glanced up at Chloe as she descended the stairs, his gaze intensifying. If it were not for his impending need to go to the office, he would have been tempted to teach her a lesson for being so seductive before him. 

Seating herself on a dining chair, Chloe picked up a slice of bread and spread some jam on it. She stole a puzzled glance at Joseph, who stared at her intently. “What’s the matter? Is there something on my face?” 

“I’ll be finished with my work at the office in about three hours, and then I’ll come to pick you up,” he stated. 

“Just because you’re done with your work doesn’t mean I am,” Chloe replied, taking a bite of the bread coated in tangy, sweet strawberry jam. “Besides, I want to go home.” 

Joseph’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I can come to your place.” 

He was aware of her current residence, but he also knew that Gabriel would only sell properties that did not meet his standards to the real estate agency. He could purchase a comfortable villa nearby instead. Apartments without a yard were inconvenient-giving off 

the feeling of a confining birdcage. 

“I didn’t invite you to my house.” Chloe blinked, unable to comprehend Joseph’s peculiar train of thought. 

It had only been two days since they had opened up to each other, seeking honesty and dispelling their doubts. Though their connection was growing, it did not mean they would rush into a rapid reconciliation. 

Chloe wanted to wait for the results of Xavia’s amniocentesis before making any decisions. 

Joseph raised his head, his tone drawling out with a touch of arrogance. “Indeed, that’s not your house. It belongs to Gabe.” 

Feeling belittled, Chloe did not feel like engaging in conversation with him and reached for the remote to turn on the TV. Noah’s face, caught between youth and adulthood, appeared on the screen. The host asked him to assist in showcasing Exotic Star’s latest jewelry collection, and he responded with a warm smile, confidently discussing each piece. The shimmering diamond necklace outshone the stage, captivating the host, who was instantly tempted to make a purchase.
