Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 669

Joseph picked up his suit jacket from the floor and made his way toward the exit. Noah raised an eyebrow in perplexion as he was unsure of Joseph's intentions.

As Joseph reached the doorway, he paused and turned to face Noah. "You're not so different from me."

"What do you mean?" Noah asked.

"In the name of doing good for her, you're causing harm as well," Joseph replied.

Noah furrowed his brows. He was about to test Joseph and see if he had learned anything, but Joseph left before he had the chance.

Joseph sat in his car until the early hours of dawn. As the sun rose, the first ray of morning light pierced through the hazy clouds, brightening the world. He was not certain of Chloe's fate, but he held onto the hope that she was still alive.

Joseph's car remained parked outside the Sullivan estate, and the butler informed Noah about the situation. "Mr. Joseph just sat in his car all night and left after sunrise."

"Sunrise?"

Noah gazed toward the sky where the sun had reached halfway up its daily path. All the living things below seemed to eagerly await its touch as if it were their unwavering source of hope. At this moment, Noah understood Joseph's thoughts. If Chloe was alive, she would always look forward to the next day's sun. And he was willing to step back for now, allowing her the time to heal her wounds.

After leaving the Sullivan estate, Joseph returned to his usual self. Besides pouring all his time into work, nothing else changed. This situation left Lucas, who already had limited personal time, in a difficult position. He now found himself busier than ever. In the quiet of the night, he often yearned to share his troubles with someone.

"That boy…"

"That’s Jasper Whitman, Xavia and Joseph's son.”

Noah had matured considerably over the years, and the youthful exuberance that once adorned his face had given way to a more refined demeanor. Wrapped in a beige overcoat and a gray checkered scarf, he exuded an air of scholarly elegance.

Chloe was momentarily dazed. She then composed herself and said, "If my child were still alive, he’d be around the same age."

"Yeah… Life sure is unpredictable," Noah replied calmly, "Joseph invited the Sullivans to his son's birthday party. Do you want to go? I'll accompany you."

"No, I would like to see Grandpa first," Chloe declined.
