Semua Bab Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Icarus pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, "Not yet, Chloe. Someday, maybe, but not now."Yesterday, he had learned many things, including how the Johnsons had treated her in the past. He had visited her at the hospital because he did not have the courage to tell her that he was Jake's uncle.He worried that his relationship with Jake would push Chloe away from him. He had no intention to come to the engagement party today, but while he was at lunch today, he figured that Chloe might come so he came to check on her. To his surprise, she really was here.Chloe could not quite understand his concern. She shrugged indifferently and said, "It's okay. Whatever relationship I had with the Johnsons and Jake is in the past. You don't have to worry."Furthermore, Icarus and Chloe were simply friends. Even if Icarus was related to Jake, it would not matter as they simply would not have any further contact in the future. What she was unaware of was that the more she acted indifferen

Chloe was stunned and immediately turned around.However, she saw no trace of Joseph. Instead, she spotted Icarus. She patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. "You must be seeing things. You scared me!""I wasn't seeing things," Emily insisted, but in the next second, Icarus vanished before she could point him out. She began to doubt herself. "Could I really be seeing things?""Of course. You've been running back and forth between the hospital and the office while also making time for your boyfriend. It's normal to experience some eye impairment," Chloe said with a smile. "Once I finish up what I'm working on, I'll treat you well.""Are you sure Jake's uncle wasn’t here today?" Emily asked, her face stern.After dropping Chloe off at the hotel, Emily went to meet up with her boyfriend. Upon her return, Emily scanned the table where Jake's older relatives were sitting but did not spot Icarus."Nope. I'm sure he didn't come today. Today was his grandfather's check-up da

"Oh, please. You think too highly of yourself. You guys are pieces of sh*t," taunted Chloe."What exactly do you want?" Jake asked, his eyes becoming bloodshot and his once impeccable suit was now crumpled and disordered. It was evident that his engagement party with Ava had not gone as planned."I want the assets that my mother left behind for me.""Haven't you already gotten it?" Jake sneered."When did I take it?"Jake thought she was lying and jeered, "I saw Ava give you that box with my own eyes."He thought that Chloe just wanted a share of the Johnsons' fortune. What was she pretending for? He could not think of any other reason for her repeated troublemaking.Chloe was taken aback for a moment. "Do you think that's the only thing my mother left me?""Yes.""Please use your brain," Chloe replied, "Was Ava really returning my things to me? No, she was humiliating me! And only a fool like you would believe her."Jake furrowed his brow. "Then what else did Ava not give yo

In the bright light, Joseph's deep black eyes looked like bottomless pits as he asked, "Is that how you see me?"Chloe shrunk back a little and whispered, "No…"However, it was clear that she was not sincere.Joseph's forehead twitched as he picked up his phone and called the police.Chloe panicked and tried to stop him. "No, your uncle will find out!"Joseph paused for a moment before realizing that she was referring to Tyson. "So what if he finds out? You're the victim here. Unless you want to be a coward and pretend you didn't see anything.""Bullsh*t, I'm just worried about you. If Tyson finds out, what will your family think of you?"She was Joseph's wife. She did not want to drag him down with her problems."Take care of your own problems first before worrying about others.""Huh?" Chloe was taken aback. She was surprised to discover that the man who appeared to lack compassion had a humane side.Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived. They were the officers that h

Chloe could not help but chuckle. "Judging by our age, you should be calling me ‘big sister.’"Adam had changed his hairstyle to dreadlocks since she last saw him a few days ago, giving him a rougher appearance that resembled that of a hooligan. However, there was a certain youthful and delicate quality to his finely chiseled features that hinted he was about nineteen to twenty-one years old.He was certainly younger than Ava, and Chloe did not know if he was aware of Ava's age, or if he just preferred women older than him."Will you give me your number if I call you ‘big sister?’""I’m not in the habit of calling random people my brother," Chloe replied coolly before returning her attention to her work, dismissing him as if he were a kid. "You should go now. We have work to do. If your father sees you here, he'll probably scold you."It had been a long time since someone dared to dismiss him like this. The corner of Adam's lips twitched as he said, "My dad doesn't care about me.
