Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 579

Chloe was stunned for a moment. "Are you for real?"

He playfully pinched her nose. "When have I ever lied to you?"

Rolling her eyes, Chloe retorted, "Well, you've never lied, but you always made direct announcements or gave commands."

Joseph was stumped. In the long thirty years of his life, he was always surrounded by studying and work and had grown accustomed to such direct interactions. Directness and efficiency were his way of dealing with people.

Chloe looked up at him and asked, "What about Xavia's child?"

"Tyson wants a second child, but they can't conceive due to certain circumstances," Joseph explained.

Understanding dawned upon Chloe. It would be acceptable for Tyson to adopt the child. It would protect the child from being mistreated and also avoid direct contact between Joseph and Xavia.

Seeing her remain silent, Joseph cautiously embraced her. "Is this arrangement okay with you?"

"It's fine, and you're right. Xavia’s already six months pregnant. I can't ask her to abort the child now, especially considering her health condition," Chloe responded.

Joseph felt a sense of relief and held her tighter. "Promise me that you won't run away from me anymore, Chloe."

"Pfft! Just a few days ago, you were the one who told me to leave, remember?" Chloe scoffed.

"I was just trying to scare you. Then you suddenly started dating Noah," Joseph replied.

Recalling that incident, his eyes glistened with resentment. He thought he had been ruthless enough, never expecting Chloe to be even more so. Going on a date with someone else while carrying his child was brutal.

"Well, it's because you locked me in the house. If it hadn't been for Noah, I wouldn't have gotten out so soon," Chloe said, shutting down her computer and teasingly handing her bag to him. "Help me carry my bag."

Joseph's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Refusing to be at Chloe's beck and call, he declined. "My pride is valuable."

Raising an eyebrow, Chloe questioned, "What's more important, your pride or your wife?"
