Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 756 Xavia’s Our Target

Upon realizing what Joseph meant, Chloe blushed with embarrassment and glared at him irritably. "No thanks."

She did not realize that her anger appeared more like shyness. Joseph was only intending to tease her, but her reaction reminded him of the intensity of their encounter that night. He gulped, suppressing the urge to dominate her, and returned to the topic at hand. "I'm serious. This medication will speed up your recovery. The nether region is a delicate area, regardless of whether it's a man or woman."

It had been years since he had been with anyone, and combined with Chloe taking the initiative, he had not been able to control his strength properly. He wondered why Chloe did not ask the doctor for some medication.

Chloe took a deep breath and willed her embarrassment away. "Didn’t I pay you enough? Have you come to ask for more?"

Without giving him a chance to respond, she sized him up languidly and added, "You're right. With a body like yours, it must cost an arm a night, right? 30 dollars isn’t enough."

Joseph was not offended by Chloe's retort and calmly replied, "There are reasons for high prices. One must provide good after-sales service to secure returning customers."

"Once is enough for me. I'm already engaged, so be a gentleman and stop disturbing me."

It was clear that Chloe was hinting at something else. Joseph's face sank as he gazed at her. After a long pause, he said, "You’re abandoning your old lover not that you’ve found a new one?”

"Heh, old lover?" Chloe repeated his words with a strong tone of sarcasm.

"Does it not count? Shall we ask others about it?" Joseph replied matter-of-factly, "Whether it's one day or one year, it all counts, right? To be honest, I'm quite curious. If Noah knew we slept together just a few days ago, would he still want to be engaged to you? Should we test it out?"

Chloe’s eyes widened as she blushed again. "Are you threatening me?"

If Joseph spilled the beans, it would cause irreparable damage to the Sullivans' reputation even if she could explain it clearly and Noah believed in her. After all, the older generations valued nothing more than their reputation.

"No." Joseph shook his head and sighed. Gazing at her affectionately, he said, "I’d never treat you that way.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Though he had various means to stop today’s engagement, he knew he owed her. He wanted to make up for it properly, and the last thing he wanted was to upset her.

A glimmer flashed through Chloe's eyes. "How did you get in here?" She had instructed security to not let anyone without an invitation in. She had not invited those with no connections to the Sullivans.

"I just walked," Joseph answered nonchalantly, clearly having no intention of telling her the truth.

"Fine," Chloe harrumphed and turned around to leave.

"How about we form an alliance?" Joseph suggested.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at him skeptically. "What are you talking about?"

"Xavia’s our target, not each other."

"No, my targets are Xavia and you, you blind fool."

Joseph frowned, and a hint of grievance crept into his cold voice. "No, our true target is the Duskfall. I'm also a victim."

With his wife leaving him, his grandfather getting injured, and his close relatives acting like buffoons, Joseph felt helpless and had no other choice but to fight back. At the same time, he admitted that he did not understand how to love someone.
