Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 634

Eustace remained silent for what felt like an eternity, suspending Xavia in a state of unease. She cautiously called out to him once more, her voice filled with uncertainty, "Eustace, are you there?"

"What do you want?"

"I want to talk to you. Can we meet? Do you have time to meet up?" Xavia felt a glimmer of hope upon hearing his reply.

"Are you coming to kill me again?"

"No, you've misunderstood me... I just want a chance to explain everything properly. I was coerced into it..." Xavia pretended to choke up, inserting a hint of desperation and sorrow into her voice.

"Are you being forced to climb into Joseph's bed too?"

"Umm..." Xavia's sobbing intensified as she struggled to find the right words. "Please. Let's not discuss this over the phone. I’m begging you to hear me out in person. I'll explain everything—the whole story and its cause and effect."

"I'll consider it."

Xavia grew impatient. It used to be him who longed for her attention. He was her devoted follower. But now, the tables had turned, and he seemed like an unattainable figure. This exemplified the saying "Fortune is a fickle mistress, ever-changing with the tides of time."

Yet, Xavia's rationality reminded her that the future still stretched out before her. Impatience had the potential to unravel even the grandest of plans. At present, Eustace posed the greatest threat. If she were to back down now, all the efforts she had invested throughout her life would be rendered futile.

"Okay, take your time to think it over, but do call me back tonight..."

The Winter Solstice had come and gone, and a chill hung in the air. Snow had fallen throughout the night, covering the world outside with a pristine white blanket.

One early morning, Joseph accompanied Chloe to the mall to purchase a plethora of winter maternity clothes. The mall was a short distance from the outdoor parking lot, and by the sidewalk stood an ice cream truck. Chloe stopped before the stall, and Joseph instantly understood her thoughts.
