Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 627

"Just go and think about my offer. I'm willing to cooperate."

Before Joseph could react, Chloe went to the bedroom and crawled into bed. Her breathing soon evened out as if she had fallen asleep.

Joseph stood at the doorway and watched her rising and falling back for a long time. He wanted to tell her that he never intended to push her away. He had been angry with her but he never intended to harm her. Unexpectedly, Chloe told him that his neverending suspicion and the choices he made had chiseled away her feelings until there was nothing left.

Love was selfish and was a game meant for only two people.

Samuel took on a case for the Whitman Group, so he came to the villa to discuss the details with Joseph. As they spoke, he sensed that his friend was not himself. As he gazed at Joseph, he sincerely hoped to help resolve the situation and asked Joseph about his woes. He found that he had no remedy for the situation as he did not understand love. He then decided to call on Nathan, the man experienced in love.

"Ah, your issues with Chloe are still unresolved?" Nathan grabbed an orange as he sat down, peeling it and stuffing it into his mouth.

Joseph rubbed the spot between his brows. "I wanted to put it all behind, but she doesn’t want to."

"Are you really going to put everything behind?" Nathan failed to hold back his retort and spurted out a mouthful of orange. Samuel, who was sitting across from him, was forced to suffer.

The orange juice dripped down Samuel’s face. He grabbed some tissues and furiously wiped his face. He said disdainfully, "Don’t talk with your mouth full. Be a man of culture will you?"

Nathan ignored Samuel and leaned toward Joseph eagerly. "Are you sure you’re okay with being a stepfather?"

Joseph took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled. The smoke enveloped his face. He said gloomily, "Principles are nothing in front of the one you truly love." He had only learned of his true desires when he was on the verge of death.

Nathan was stunned. "What happened to you?"

Samuel glared at Nathan. "Don’t you know that Duskfall made a move?"
