Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 482

Joseph ignored Chloe's words, glaring daggers at Noah, the vibes coming off him ominous.

Noah, with his fair skin and calm demeanor, said, "Shouldn't we respect and take care of women? They're often at a disadvantage in our society."

Joseph simply gave him a frosty look. He did not believe in such pompous words.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Chloe did not know how to diffuse the situation. It was getting so tense that neither she nor Noah could handle it. She bit her lip and said in a soft tone, "I'm hungry. Let's go grab something to eat."

Joseph shot her a sideways glance, but his expression was cold. Luckily, he did not refuse her.

While watching them leave, Noah's gentle and calm facade started to crack. 'Coco seems to be having a rough time. Looks like I need to move up my plans.'

Chloe and Joseph walked into the restaurant without saying a word. She had not eaten anything while accompanying Emily on the blind date, so when the food arrived, she was so hungry that she started wolfing down the food.

Joseph was so angry that he sneered while watching Chloe. 'The dumbo still has her appetite at this time.'

There was a delicious plate of salad on the table, and Chloe had already polished off most of it. When she reached for some more, Joseph purposely moved the dish closer to him. She simply picked another dish since she could not reach the salad.

Joseph pressed his lips into a line. "Where was the bodyguard?"

Chloe was stunned. For a moment, she was stunned.

"Wasn't there supposed to be a bodyguard in the room?"

"Yes, but she had to step out on some business."

Joseph laughed coldly. ‘What a coincidence! The bodyguard was conveniently not around when I got there.’

She laid it all out for him, even sounding a bit indignant. "If I wasn't in a hurry to repay you, I wouldn't have sold my jewelry."

Joseph felt a headache. "I never asked you to pay me back."

But Chloe just snorted disdainfully. "I'd rather pay you back than have you belittle me from time to time."

Joseph fell silent but he did not refute her. "I wasn’t very attentive in the past." He never had to worry about money his whole life. Naturally, he was proud and arrogant.

"That's the past. Just don't embarrass me like you did today ever again." Chloe stared at him seriously. "I'm no angel, and I can't make everyone like me. Noah doesn’t have feelings for me. I can tell."

She was not slow in the love affairs between people. Noah had been careful around her since they met. Even when she was kidnapped, he only did what he did because of the relationship between the Sullivans and the Whitmans.

Joseph calmed down while tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table. Chloe had given him a wake-up call. He could not let Noah keep playing the good guy. He had to find a chance to show her Noah's true colors.
