Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 828

In the Sullivan manor, all the curtains in Noah's bedroom were tightly drawn, preventing even the smallest ray of light from seeping in. He and Chloe were lying on their sides facing each other in the same bed. Chloe's hands and feet were bound, and her body felt weak. Her eyes were wide open as she glared at him.

"Let me go!"

She was not sure what had happened this afternoon. During their argument, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her waist before she fell unconscious. Her guess was that one of the helpers had administered her a sedative.

Chloe was determined to make all these events public and eliminate the hidden threats around her when Desmond returned.

"You'll run away if I let you go," Noah said calmly, his gaze fixed on her. "You're disobedient."

"Fine, keep me tied up. Let's see how you explain this to Grandpa when he gets back," Chloe said resolutely while glancing at the bedside table. She rarely entered Noah's room, but she knew there was a pair of scissors in one of those drawers. If she could reach them after Noah left the room...

"Grandpa will probably just give me an earful. You’re the one who wants to call off our marriage, so you’re the one to blame here," he said, his eyes concealing suppressed anger. Something crossed his mind and he blinked in an eerie manner. The anger faded quickly, replaced by a gentle smile. "But you'll soon forget about Joseph. We’ll be happy, have children, and grow old together."

Chloe’s brows furrowed. Backing into a corner as her danger sensors went off, she stared at Noah like a startled kitten bristling with fear. Noah merely stared at her deeply, then leaned down to plant a kiss on her forehead. The scent of an unfamiliar man overwhelmed Chloe’s senses, and she instinctively turned her head to evade his kiss.

Noticing her reaction, Noah became annoyed. He gripped her cheeks and turned her face toward him. His voice grew gentler, but there was a tinge of madness in it.

"You can't escape me. We're meant to be together. Your relationship with Joseph was a mistake. You and I were destined to get married before we were even born. I am the husband fate chose for you. People should respect themselves and not waste time on past relationships. Besides me, who else would tolerate your back-and-forth with your ex-husband?"
