Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 642 Investigating Amelia

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.' NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"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.

"Regain consciousness?" Nathan sensed something amiss. "Has Mr. Harold fallen into a coma?"

Joseph closed his eyes, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. "Yeah."

Nathan let out a long sigh too. "Have you found out who's behind this?"

"Not yet," Joseph replied. He paused for a moment before continuing, "By the way, how did you meet Amelia?"

"She's a new employee at my dad's office. I felt an instant connection the moment I laid eyes on her."

"An instant connection? Would you still feel that way if she didn't resemble Serenity?" Joseph mocked without holding back.

"Well, that might be part of the reason, but I will say that Amelia is quite charming in her own right. She's caring, gentle, and understanding. I genuinely like her."

Men always remember their first love. It represented the inception of a tender and beautiful romance. Moreover, Serenity passed away when Nathan was unequivocally in love with her, leaving behind a pain that was difficult to erase. One that would haunt him throughout his life.

"Have you looked into Amelia's background?"

"No, but I believe she's innocent. She doesn't strike me as someone malicious."

"I'll look into it for you," Joseph said calmly.

Nathan knew that Joseph was just informing him, so he thought for a while and said, "Okay, go ahead and do that."

He too was enraged at the person who severely injured Harold. Besides, the testimony given by Amelia yesterday needed to be verified. He trusted her, but he also trusted Chloe. Perhaps Amelia had misunderstood something.

Investigating an ordinary person's background would only take about an hour to yield results.

In the evening, Chloe served the dishes and soup she had prepared and stretched out her hand toward Joseph. "Give me Amelia's information."

Without looking at her, Joseph gracefully brought a bite of food to his mouth and said, "Let's talk after dinner."
