Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 630

Chloe stared at Joseph, her expression filled with mixed emotions. Thinking she was touched by his gesture, Joseph hurriedly explained, "I invested in their brand because I noticed how much you liked it. There's a newly opened store next to the Johnson Group."

Just then, a message from Emily popped up on Chloe's phone.

[Guess what? I snooped around, and guess what I found? That scumbag Joseph opened a franchise store for you two, and get this, it's called J&C! The initials of your names!]

Chloe was at a loss for words.

Joseph cleared his throat. "The brand added that as a gesture of gratitude."

"Joseph, just stop trying."

His heart sank. "What's wrong?"

"I won't forgive you," Chloe finally spoke the words that had been weighing heavily on her chest. Her eyes, devoid of any sparkle, remained as calm as still water. A shattered mirror could never be repaired, just like how she would never be able to trust him again.

Marriage was supposed to be a lifelong commitment, yet their first year together had been filled with misery. What kind of future did that indicate? What about in another year? Two years? Ten? Once the initial excitement faded, what would there be left for her? She dared not even think about it. A lifetime was too long, and she was afraid she would be sacrificing her lifetime of happiness.

A faint smile froze at the corners of Joseph's mouth. "What exactly do you want me to do? Do I not treat you well enough?" He had accepted her past with Icarus and accepted her and Icarus’ child. Just like her, he had done it, so why was she still unsatisfied?

"Your so-called good toward me doesn't even begin to outweigh the harm you've caused," she stated firmly. It was like receiving a slap and then being offered a sweet. She had reached her limit.

Joseph took a deep breath. There was pain etched across his face. "And what about you? Haven't you hurt me too? Since we've both made mistakes, why can't we find it in our hearts to forgive each other?"
