Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love pdf

Chapter 195 The Big Shot in the Entertainment Industry

Chloe’s face froze, overwhelmed by a bitter and melancholic sensation that consumed her heart.

Indeed, they were merely bound by a contractual relationship. Even though there had been fleeting

moments of sweetness that morning, their relationship remained imbalanced.

“Fine, my mistake. I won’t say anything,” she admitted weakly.

However, Joseph found no satisfaction in her meek apology. Instead, it only added to his mounting

frustration.

Lucas dared not intrude on the tense atmosphere and continued driving until they reached the villa.

Chloe was the first to step out of the car and enter the yard. She went to take Toto for a stroll. Initially,

Toto was overjoyed to see them return home, but now sensing the tension between the two, its ears

drooped timidly and its dark eyes filled with unease.

Joseph furrowed his brow and uttered, “Don’t vent your frustrations on the dog.”

Wearing a fake smile, Chloe replied, “Is this smile satisfactory for serving your beloved dog?”

Joseph responded, “Not enough. Make the smile even bigger.‘

Chloe was stumped. She certainly was not about to vent her frustrations on Toto since the dog was

innocent. And of course, upon returning with Toto, she did not speak to Joseph.

The next morning, she got up and prepared lunch boxes for

the day. Joseph returned from his morning jog to find her dressed in a sleek professional suit, exuding

the mature allure of a career woman. But instead of heading to work, she was here, cooking for him.

The stark contrast hit Joseph, causing a ripple in his mind as he let out a soft chuckle. Upon hearing his

laughter, Chloe froze, spatula in hand, but did not turn around or say a word.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Stir–fried zucchini with eggs, braised beef with radish, and steamed jumbo prawns,” she replied, her

back still facing him.

Observing her figure, Joseph raised an eyebrow, his jubilant mood dissipating by half in an instant. He

had taken the initiative to speak, indicating that he did not mind her mistake from yesterday, so how

dare she give him the cold shoulder?

Joseph’s face sank and he said, “I don’t eat these. Redo them.”

Chloe briefly furrowed her brow before relaxing, then calmly asked, “What would you like to eat

instead?”

“Butter prawns, stir–fried beef, and zucchini soup,” he replied.

“Understood.”

Unexpectedly, she did not say much more, nor did she

complain about anything. She just followed his orders like a robot. Joseph felt discomfort throughout his

entire being

when he saw her being so quiet and devoid of her usual playful and eccentric demeanor.

‘Very well.‘

With only half an hour remaining before they had to leave for work, it was evident that she would not be

able to finish

cooking in such a short time. Surely, she would come seeking his assistance later.

Joseph went upstairs to shower and change. When he came

back down, Lucas had arrived in the car. Joseph glanced in the direction of the kitchen and asked

nonchalantly, “Are you not finished yet?”

“No, you go ahead. I’ll get a cab,” Chloe replied, her voice cold as she stirred the thick soup.

Joseph raised an eyebrow, and without a word, he walked over and turned off the gas, pulling her

along to leave. His grip was too tight, causing Chloe to stumble and stagger. Nevertheless, she could

not help but taunt, “The food isn’t ready yet.”

“Leave it!”

This was the first time Lucas had seen Joseph lose his composure. He could not help but let out a

chuckle.

“First, you wanted to eat, and now you’re saying you don’t,” Chloe grumbled with a hint of indignation.

Joseph stopped in his tracks, turning back to stare at her with a cold gaze. A tempest brewed on his

otherworldly handsome face as he asked, “Are you sure you want to continue this topic?”

Chloe only wanted to provoke Joseph. She did not want him to punish her, so she just meekly said,

“Not really.”

Meanwhile, in the South, Ava arrived at Jade Street. Perhaps due to the early hour, there were not

many people in the shops. along the street. She could not find anyone to inquire about

the news.

Ava walked down the street, lowering her head to check the navigation on her phone, unaware of the

road ahead. As she turned the corner, a Bentley approached from the opposite direction, seemingly

about to collide with her. Luckily, the driver was skilled and managed to break in time, causing the tires

to screech against the ground, and the front of the car hit a nearby tree.

“Are you crazy?! Are your eyes on top of your head?! Can’t you watch where you’re going?!” the driver

scolded Ava.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. Why are you being so harsh?” Ava retorted.

Ava was filled with pent–up anger. She regretted her decision for coming to this sh*t place.

The driver ignored her and inspected the front of his car. “Give me 70 thousand to repair my car.”

Ava was about to complain about the exorbitant repair fee, but she could not say a word in argument

when she turned to look at the car.

“I don’t have money, but I have this diamond necklace. Take a look and see if you want it,” she said.

Her luck had been terrible ever since she left with that cursed thing belonging to

Chloe’s late mother.

The driver’s expression changed dramatically as he looked at the necklace that was handed to him. His

gaze suddenly filled with respect as he gazed at Chloe. “Madam, please wait a moment,” he said

urgently.

He could not wait to take the necklace and show it to his

employer in the car.

Calvin Norman carefully examined the necklace inside and out, his excitement growing. “Yes, this is

Luciana’s. I’ll go down and meet her.
