Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love by Aurora Summers

Chapter 67 I Love You Even More Now

“What engagement party?” Joseph asked, his voice thick with confusion.

Chloe blinked, wondering what was going on.

‘Has Jake not told him yet? Maybe they just confirmed the date and Ava couldn’t wait to

show off to me.”

“It’s nothing. Just a friend’s engagement party this weekend. Will you go with me?” Chloe asked with a sheepish smile.

Joseph responded bluntly, “I have a business trip.

He had no time to attend such a party with her.

“Okay, well, go and come back early. Make sure to eat on time when you’re out, and if there’s nothing urgent, go to bed early. Goodbye and goodnight.”

Joseph stared at her. It seemed to him that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

The veins on his forehead began to bulge and he raised his hand to stop the door from closing. He said in a low voice, “I’ve looked into Fairlight for you. Jack has already been transferred.”

Chloe raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, “I know, but I still want to say thank you.”

“And your job…”

“It’s not my concern anymore since he’s been transferred. My superior won’t bother me and should be able to handle it himself. He won’t come looking for me again anytime

soon.”

“Good.” Joseph paused and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. “You look like you’re in a good mood.”

“Not really. I’m just relieved. Fairlight is my dream company, but Baxon is my bread and butter. I don’t want to offend either side. Luckily, everything is settled now.”

When Joseph heard the phrase “dream company,” his mouth twitched slightly. “If you wanted to work at Fairlight so much, why didn’t you try harder in the first place?” “There are many uncontrollable factors, just like how I like you but can’t be with you. As long as I can be with you every day and look at you a few more times, I’m satisfied.”

Chloe portrayed the role of a devoted woman flawlessly. She was impressed with her own acting skills and thought it was a shame she was not in show business.

Joseph did not believe her sweet talk and was amused. “Drop the act. I know what you are after.”

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat and she looked nervous. ‘Does he really know?’

“You’re after my money. Anyway, I gave you a supplementary card, so buy whatever you want and stop playing the emotional card.”

Chloe was speechless. ‘Am I really that kind of person in your eyes?!!

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she quickly changed them, “Okay. Can I buy myself a car?”

“Sure.”

“What about a house?”

“Go ahead.”

“Can I buy a big villa?” Her eyes shone with excitement as she looked at Joseph

expectantly.

Joseph reached out and ruffled her hair with a mischievous smile. “Behave and please Grandpa, then maybe I’ll buy a villa for you.”

He had made enough money to last several generations of extravagance. One villa would not make much of a dent.

When this comment reached Chloe’s ears, it had a somewhat pretentious ring to it.

The Coopers were only a second-rate family in Aesper. If Joseph was really that good at making money, the Coopers would have risen to prominence a long time ago.

Based on what she knew and what Jake told her, his family company had received some investment funds as a gift from his uncle, but that was about it. So Chloe believed that Joseph was indeed wealthy and could afford to buy a villa, but it would definitely cost him a significant amount of money and not as easy as he made it sound.

However, based on Joseph’s personality, when he made a promise, he always kept it. ‘Well, I guess I shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds me.’

With that thought in mind, Chloe made a heart with her hands and looked at him like a smitten fangirl. “Jojo, you’re so rich. I love you even more now.”

“Now you know.” He sneered, his cold and indifferent eyes twinkling with a hint of amusement. Bathed in light, he was as resplendent as the first blooms of spring, captivating anyone who gazed upon him.

Chloe could not help but gaze at him in admiration, once again marveling at how being good-looking had its advantages. She even felt a slight flutter in her heart!

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Joseph noticed her gaze and looked down at her condescendingly.

“It’s nothing.” Chloe quickly lowered her head, trying to conceal her embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject. “By the way, where’s your company located? I’ll come to find you for dinner after work someday.”

Actually, she wanted to send him a lovingly prepared dinner. But after some consideration, she realized that some men did not like their wives going to their workplace to deliver food. Even though they were technically married, it would not hurt to increase their chances of meeting each other.

Joseph parted his thin lips and replied, “Dixie Center.”

“Oh, your company is next to Fairlight?” Chloe asked.

Dixie Center was mainly a business district with Fairlight as the biggest commercial building there, surrounded by several smaller companies.
