Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 642

Joseph lowered his head and met Chloe's gaze. "Okay."

Chloe was taken aback. She had not expected him to agree so readily.

"But you'll have to cook tonight."

It had been several months since Joseph had tasted her cooking. His intention these days when eating was merely to fill his stomach as he had no real appetite.

Chloe rolled her eyes and thought, 'I knew it. Good things don't just fall from the sky.'

"I'm pregnant, so I can't stand for long periods," she protested, deliberately placing her hand on her waist.

"Then don't stand for too long. Just two dishes will do."

Joseph remained undeterred as he was well aware of her act. Cooking would take at most a little over an hour, and pregnant women should not stay in bed too long either. They needed some moderate activity.

"...Fine!" Chloe gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart, 'I hope you choke to death, you scumbag!'

Satisfied, Joseph smiled triumphantly. He reached out and tucked her loose strands of hair behind her ear. "Good girl."

"Now, go look into Amelia," Chloe urged, unable to contain her impatience. She was eager to find out why Amelia had lied with her eyes wide open. Was she bribed?

Chloe brushed aside the thought as soon as it crossed her mind. After all, the Reeses were prominent players in Aesper’s real estate field. If Amelia was Nathan's girlfriend, financial concerns should not be an issue for her.

She just could not shake off the strong familiarity she felt from Amelia.

Joseph left and went to his study. He did not immediately start the investigation on Amelia. Instead, he called Nathan.

"I was just about to call you. How’s Mr. Harold? Is he out of danger?"

"He's stable for now, but it'll take some time before he regains consciousness,” Joseph replied.
