Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 You’ve Always Had Coco in Your Heart 

A flicker of shock crossed Ava’s beautiful face as she asked, “Who told you that? Was it 

Coco?” 

“Just answer my question,” Jake slowed down and spoke gently, “I’m doing this for our 

future.” 

“If you were doing this for our future, then you wouldn’t be asking me such a question! “Ava said, her eyes filled with tears. 

Seeing her cry, Jake immediately found a tissue to wipe her tears and asked, “What’s wrong?” 

“Did Coco tell you that I took the money her mother left behind?” Ava asked, her voice choking up. 

Jake was silent for a moment before answering, “Yes, she said that as long as you return the money-” 

“You’d believe her over me?” Ava interrupted him with a trembling voice, “Am I a greedy person who would covet other people’s inheritance in your eyes?” 

“That’s not what I’m trying to say. You’re misunderstanding me. I didn’t mean-” Jake tried to explain, but Ava cut him off. 

“Stop talking. I thought two people should trust one another when they’re engaged. I had no idea you would go behind my back to see Coco without taking my feelings into consideration,” Ava said with a sorrowful smile, tears still rolling down her cheeks. 

“Please don’t cry, Ava. I can explain. I went to see Coco yesterday to warn her not to disturb us,” Jake explained. 

“Warn her?” Ava smiled bitterly through her tears. “If that’s the case, then why are you questioning me first thing in the morning?” 

Jake was at a loss for words. He tousled his hair anxiously and said, “You always talk about trusting each other, but you don’t seem to trust me much either. I was already annoyed by yesterday’s engagement party. Can’t you try to understand me a little?” 

Before he could say anything further, a loud crash came as if something had fallen to the ground. 

Benjamin kicked the broken pieces away and walked over, staring at Jake with displeasure. “The engagement party was for both families. You’re not the only one who 

was annoyed. If you came here to argue, then get the hell out of here. 

“Ava, show him out.” 

Ava looked at Jake with disappointment. “I know you’ve always had Coco in your heart. If you want to go back to her, I won’t stop you. Let’s both just take a break and cool off for a while.” 

After saying this, she closed the door, ignoring Jake’s knocking from outside. 

In the end, the gifts were given, but Jake did not have the chance to step into the house. He was left with a burning anger in his heart and kicked a nearby tree trunk in. frustration. 1 

On the second floor, Ava stood by the window and pursed her lips as Jake drove away. She wiped away her tears and spent another half an hour touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. 

‘Looks like I can’t rely on Jake anymore. I’ll have to rely on myself.’ 

She picked up her phone and video-called Adam. The phone rang a few times before being hung up. 

Ava clenched her phone and gritted her teeth in frustration. She decided to call him back every single time he hung up on her. She did not believe that he would keep hanging up on her indefinitely. 

As May drew to a close, Chloe handed in her monthly report to her superior, but her superior just put it to the side without looking at it. 

“This afternoon, take some time to head over to Patterson and finalize the project documentation. Better early than late,” her superior instructed brusquely. 

With overseas bidding thrown into disarray by Fairlight’s sudden reassignment, there was little urgency for him to prepare the monthly report. 

Chloe nodded and said, “Sure. I’ll get a few team members to accompany me there later. 

וו 

Upon arriving at Patterson, the client was in the middle of a meeting, so Chloe was instructed to wait in the conference room. Soon after, someone brought in tea and snacks.
