Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 769

Chad was skeptical of her enthusiasm. "Since when did you become so helpful?"

He recalled her always giving him the cold shoulder as if he had mistreated her. To him, what happened between them back then had been consensual, and he never made any promises to be responsible for her. There was no way he would marry the child of a mere chauffeur and become the subject of ridicule.

Smirking, Clara replied, "I've always been helpful.” She leaned into Chad's ear and whispered something to him.

Seated side by side, Joseph and Chloe could catch each other's familiar scent. Their close proximity created an ambiguous atmosphere.

A waiter brought two cocktails and placed them before the pair. Joseph glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Replace them with fruit juice. She doesn't drink alcohol."

"Right away, sir."

Chloe chuckled and rested her cheek on her hand. "Are you pretending to be a caring soul now?"

All men were the same. They only regretted the things they had after losing it. He could have cherished the relationship while they were together instead of letting it slip away.

"I'm just concerned for you," Joseph replied sincerely.

"Hah." Chloe clicked her tongue.

"How’s Vanya?"

"She needs to be on a continuous IV drip for a week to expel the toxins. Don't you have Zoelle's number? Why don’t you just ask her directly?"

Joseph's eyes sparkled. He leaned forward, narrowing the distance between them, and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Staring at his stunningly handsome face that was right in front of her, Chloe found herself at a loss for words. Under normal circumstances, a mere glance from him would send tingles down her entire body, and now, with his affectionate gaze boring into her, she felt even more entranced.

She remained silent for a while before leaning backward and replying, "Is that a joke? It’s not funny."

Why would she be jealous? After all, in her heart, he was barely worthy of being called an ex-husband.

Joseph’s thin lips pressed together as he gripped Chloe's cheeks, forcing her to look at him. "I'm not joking. Chloe, after all this time, have you not thought about me at all?"
