Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love by Aurora Summers

Chapter 58 Testing and Probing

Joseph noticed her reaction and smirked.

He stretched out his arm and pinched her cheek.

“Hey! Hey! Hey!” Chloe abruptly opened her eyes and swatted his hand away.

She truly thought that he was going to kiss her.

A light smile played on Joseph’s lips as he sat regally on the sofa, his fingers interlocked on his chest as he stared at her playfully.

“Hey’ what?” he teased.

‘D*mn it!’ Chloe cursed inwardly when she realized that Joseph was teasing her again.

Chloe took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her racing heart.

“Nothing,” she said, trying to act nonchalant.

Joseph watched her leave with a disappointed expression. He did not know why but he found her quite cute.

Meanwhile, Chloe returned to her bedroom, flopping onto the bed in frustration. When would she ever be able to win over Joseph? Did he really mean it when he said he was impotent? If not, why would he be impervious to her charms?

After a while, she received a call from Emily who was checking up on her. “How’s it going with your contractual husband?”

“Don’t even ask. It’s terrible. I feel terrible,” Chloe replied.

“What happened? Tell me about it.”

Chloe confessed that she had tried to seduce Joseph in her sexy negligee but had failed miserably.

Emily was shocked. “What?! Is he a saint or something?!”

She found it hard to believe that Joseph was able to resist Chloe’s attractive appearance and physique.

This reminded Emily of Jake’s infidelity. Perhaps all men were fundamentally terrible and unappreciative once they got what they wanted. But then again, neither of them got Chloe.

Ping!

A notification alerted Chloe to a new email in her inbox. She sat up, dejectedly opening her laptop.

“Honestly, I’m starting to think that what he said to me before was true. And there be another reason-he doesn’t like women.”

“It’s possible. Why don’t you test him?” Emily suggested.

“How?”

“Go take a shower but pretend that you forgot your towel. Then, ask him to bring you one…”

“That’s so embarrassing!”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? No one else has to know except for us. And if I may offer some advice, perhaps your negligee wasn’t sexy enough. Joseph is already in his late twenties and has seen and experienced a lot. He’s not an innocent young boy who doesn’t know anything. You need to up the ante a bit.”

“Okay… I’ll give it a try.”

“Oh, and can you send me the link to the negligee you bought? I want to buy one too!” “Fine, fine. I will!” Chloe said enviously and with a tinge of jealousy.

Emily had recently started dating a new guy and they were in the honeymoon stage of their relationship, while Chloe was struggling to win over Joseph.

Opening up an online shopping website, she sent Emily the link before turning her attention to her work emails. After a spot of work and finishing her dinner, she reluctantly made her way to the bathroom.

Applying a fragrant body lotion, Chloe caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. Admiring her naked form, her cheeks flush with warmth. According to Emily, if she could not win Joseph’s heart with this, it was likely that he was not lying about his impotence.

While she was not overly concerned about that, she did worry that if their contract expired before she could establish herself as his rightful spouse, all the time and

energy she had invested would have been for nothing and she would miss out on the prospect of a possible real marriage.

Summoning her courage, Chloe wrapped a towel around herself and timidly called out,

“Jojo, we’re out of shampoo. Can you get me a bottle from the cupboard please?”

“Hang on,” he said, then came the sound of footsteps getting closer. Chloe clutched at her chest, her breathing became labored with nervousness.

“Here you go.”

A large hand appeared, offering her the shampoo in a gentlemanly fashion without any inappropriate gestures. Chloe felt disappointed and deliberately pushed the door open to grab the bottle.

“Thank you,” she said, looking up at Joseph, who was now only a foot away. Her soaked hair flowed down her shoulders, and her skin glistened with a subtle sheen. Her makeup -free face appeared pristine and innocent, akin to a white lily. Her eyes sparkled like polished jewels.

As Joseph lowered his gaze, Chloe accidentally dropped the towel. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and Joseph’s pupils dilated as he felt a rush of warmth surge through his body.

Chloe’s heart raced as her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, too afraid to look at his reaction.

The next second, Joseph removed his woolen sweater.
