Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 496

Chloe was stunned but smiled and said, "Are you sure you didn't mistake him for someone else?"

"No, I don't think so. Although we didn't greet each other since we were far apart, I saw his car in the parking lot." Noah's eyes flickered with an unusual glint. "Didn't Mr. Joseph say anything to you?"

Chloe looked embarrassed. "No, he didn’t say anything."

Noah's lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile. "Don't be too upset, Coco. Maybe Mr. Joseph has his reasons for not telling you. Find an opportunity to talk to him. Everything will be fine.

“Sigh, I’d never let such a cliched situation happen if I had a girlfriend. I'd treat her well and never let her suffer from jealousy. However, I can understand that accidents are beyond our control. Still, love should only involve two people. Having a third person involved is hard to stomach."

The last sentence felt like tiny grains of sand, causing Chloe's whole being to ache. Doubt, grievance, and disappointment were emotions that clogged her throat, rendering her speechless.

‘Joseph told me he was going to Fairlight an hour ago, so how did he suddenly end up at the hospital with Xavia? Is he there to accompany her for a prenatal check-up? Did he not tell me about it because he was worried I’d be upset?’

She unconsciously touched her stomach and felt a bitter pang filling her.

"Do you want to go to the hospital? I’m heading to the library nearby, so I can take you there." Noah offered in a friendly manner.

Chloe clenched her teeth and replied, "Sure."

‘Instead of speculating mindlessly, it’s best to face it head-on and ask them for an explanation.’

Noah drove his white Maybach onward, maintaining a steady and unhurried pace.

Chloe looked out of the window at the scenery. The more she thought about it, the more she felt Joseph had no reason to lie. He had only found out yesterday that his mother was still alive, so she was confident he would not have had the time to entertain Xavia.

‘Even if it was an unexpected situation, he should have at least informed me, right? Could he not even spare a moment to text me?’

While appearing focused on driving, Noah discreetly observed Chloe's emotions from the corner of his eyes. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed and relaxed alternatively while her face tensed as if she was lost in profound contemplation.

As for the Johnson Group, she would do something about it. A few short months would not be a problem for remote management, especially considering the office had recently taken on very few external projects.

"A new project with Mr. Hugo?" Noah asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Arcane Grove Ventures?"

"Yes. You know about it too?"

"Yes, Joseph has joined that project too. Even if you go abroad, it might be difficult to avoid interaction," Noah remarked.

Chloe's eyes widened slightly, her thoughts becoming jumbled. "Joseph is a part of it, too?"

"You didn't know?" Understanding dawned upon Noah as he continued hesitantly, "Nathan and Joseph are friends. Did Joseph inform his father, and that's how you got involved?

“Of course, I don’t doubt your abilities, but your office's line of business doesn't align with real estate development, so it's not on par with the Reese Group's MO.”
