Lahat ng Kabanata ng Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love: Kabanata 871 - Kabanata 880

"No particular reason, just curious," Emily said with an awkward chuckle. She was trying to dig for information for her close friend.As the saying goes, "Know thy enemy, know thyself." If Noah could not come to terms with this, and given Chloe's unyielding personality, the marriage would be headed for rough waters. It might even end in a divorce. As Chloe's best friend, Emily could not just stand by and watch Chloe gamble with her chances at happiness.Noah fidgeted, his fingers flexing open and then clenching into a fist. His veins pulsed visibly, hinting at an internal struggle. However, his tone softened, almost coaxing, "It's fine. Feel free to speak your mind.""You haven’t answered my question. Will you accept a child that Coco had with Joseph?""Absolutely," he replied, unflinchingly. "I will accept the child if it’s Coco. I'd treat them as if they were my own.”Emily felt a surge of relief. She lightly patted her chest and grinned. "That's comforting to hear.""Did Josep

Joseph frowned, his handsome face bearing a hint of hurt. His dark eyes locked onto Chloe's as if trying to look into her very soul. "Yes, I’m shameless, and yes, I intend to take you away. Stop lying to yourself. You don't love Noah."I don't understand why you're pushing yourself to marry a man you don't love. Please understand that nobody wants to see you happy more than I do. If Noah was the right guy for you, I wouldn't stand in your way. I would just be here to behold the beautiful bride and wish you all the best."But Noah was not that man. Joseph could not stand idly by and watch the love of his life make a disastrous choice.As Chloe met Joseph's earnest gaze, she found herself at a loss for words. Her eyes betrayed feelings she could not put a name to. She then felt a crackle of electricity jolt her mind, promptly followed by what felt like a slam of a hammer.Blindsided by the sharp, intense pain, she violently shoved Joseph away. She glared at him with pure disdain and

"Bring him in," Joseph ordered.When the doctor came in, Joseph turned to Chloe. "Roll up your sleeves. We need to collect a sample for testing." Chloe looked at him skeptically. She crossed her arms defensively and asked, "Testing for what?""We've found our child, and we need to do a paternity test," Joseph replied."Really?" she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with joy. However, her excitement quickly turned to suspicion as she asked, "Where’s the child then? Bring them here so I can see."Seeing is believing, and she wanted tangible proof. Just hearing it did not guarantee its truth. Moreover, if Joseph had found the child, why not bring the kid in and let her meet them? They could then proceed with the paternity test."You can't meet the kid just yet."Joseph had contemplated disclosing to her that Jasper was their child, but he was aware that there was a significant likelihood that she would doubt the truth. The most reliable approach was to depend on the paternity test r

"Get away from me! I'm going home now!" Chloe said.Joseph's gaze irritated her. She reached out and shoved him aside, attempting to make a quick exit."Calm down and listen to the recording first," Joseph said, standing in her way and preventing her from leaving. He was equally distressed."I won't listen to it! It's all fake! Fake!"Her face scrunched up as she covered her ears with her hands. The voices in the recording sounded like the whispers of ghosts. They tore at her flesh and penetrated her bones, causing her great agony.Joseph's jaw tightened. He was even more convinced that Noah had done something terrible to Chloe. However, he had to tell her the answers she longed for deep inside."I know you're suffering, but please hold out a bit longer. We're almost done with the recording. Once you find out who our kid is, I'll stop the recording, all right?"Chloe furrowed her brows. Shaking her head, she begged, "I don't want to... I don't want to listen… I want to go home..

When it came to the issues of their relationship, discussing things privately was indeed the better option.Desmond fell silent as his gaze shifted back and forth between Joseph and Noah. Seizing his chance, Harold said, "Come. Let's go to the chess room and sit for a while. We should leave the young folks to resolve their issues.""The reputation of the Sullivans and the safety of my granddaughter is also at stake," Desmond corrected coldly."Yes, yes. You're right. We Whitmans would never shy away from the responsibilities that we have to uphold," Harold said with a smile on his face as he knew that they were in the wrong today.Seeing Noah's persistence, Desmond lapsed into contemplative silence. He remembered that Noah had returned home last night. Though Noah told him that he had gone on a business trip, another thought emerged—the news of Joseph's car accident.With that in mind, Desmond decided to leave with Harold to give the two men some time to talk.Joseph took a seat.
