Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 574

Joseph felt troubled. "She had something to tell me about you, so I agreed to give her a ride."

"About me?"

"About your pregnancy."

Chloe's expression darkened as she turned to look at Xavia. "How did you find out about my pregnancy?"

"I saw your belly showing signs of protrusion when we were underwater at the pool yesterday.” Xavia shrugged.

"Is that so?" Chloe sneered. "Normally, if someone can't swim, they wouldn’t be able to open their eyes underwater."

Xavia shrugged and stated, "I don't know how to swim, and Joe knows that. What good is there for me to deceive you?"

"Xavia really can’t swim." Joseph nodded, addressing the matter at hand.

In the past, Xavia had never participated in any water-related activities. There was even an incident where she fell off a boat and almost drowned.

Chloe snorted sarcastically. "Yeah, right, You just seem to know everything, don't you?"

‘He offered no defense and instead chose to side with Xavia. Ahh, the charm of an ex. How precious,’ she thought.

Joseph felt helpless, acutely sensing Chloe's volatile temper that was akin to a cat on the verge of exploding. She was easily provoked.

Ignored by Chloe, he could only watch as she turned her back and walked away. He caught up with her and offered a word of caution, "Slow down. Be careful with that child in your belly."

"It's fine. With a father like you, the child will be strong and tough from an early age."

"Huh?"

"Four months ago, you neglected your responsibilities as a father. And now four months later, I don't need you." Chloe's voice trembled, her eyes turning red and her hands clenched tightly by her side.

"I explicitly told you that you could manipulate Joseph and Chloe's relationship but not harm her.”

"I didn't harm her," Xavia stubbornly denied.

"I saw you pulling her underwater."

Xavia’s anger surged up. Perhaps watching Joseph treat Chloe so differently at the hospital had triggered something in her. She shouted defiantly, "Yes, I wanted her to die! So what?!"

'Chloe took everything that rightfully belongs to me. Shouldn't she pay the price? Even if she doesn't die, her child in her belly should become intellectually challenged, just like mine!’ she thought.

Noah's expression remained calm, devoid of any signs of anger. He tilted his head and fixed his eyes on her. A smile slowly spread across his face, revealing two charming dimples. "Come here."

Xavia vehemently shook her head and swiftly turned around, determined to head toward a crowded area where she would be safer. However, Noah effortlessly caught up with her. He firmly gripped her hair and dragged her into a nearby alley.
