Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 555

Lucas was speechless as Chloe had a point.

"All right. Don't worry about us," she said lightly before walking into the office with the folder.

Joseph was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window when she entered. He turned to look at her and said, "Right on time."

Feigning composure, she handed him the folder. "Go ahead. Open it and take a look."

Joseph’s jaw clenched tightly as he pulled out the report. In just one glance, he knew the answer. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and then he relaxed them. 'Well, it's time to play by ear.'

As if a string in her mind suddenly snapped, Chloe's heart was gripped with excruciating pain, rendering her incapable of rational thought. Although she had mentally prepared herself for this, the stark reality laid out before her was still hard to swallow.

Her footsteps became unsteady and she tottered. The composure she had maintained up till now shattered into pieces.

Joseph swiftly reached out to support her. "Chloe..."

"Don’t touch me." Chloe fought to maintain her composure. "Give me the report. I want to read it all."

Joseph understood her pain and tried to console her. "Don't read it. There's nothing worth seeing. Are you hungry? Let me take you out for a meal."

"Give it to me." Her voice trembled but held firm determination.

Someone with a lively and cheerful voice suddenly burst in. Xavia stood at the door, observing the obvious tension in the room. Despite her inner delight, she maintained a composed demeanor and hesitated before saying, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here, Ms. Chloe."

Chloe was unhappy at that moment and shot Xavia an unfriendly look. She retorted sarcastically, "Don't people usually knock before entering a room? Or do you knock when I'm not here and act like this when I am?"

“I wasn’t... I was just so happy and wanted to share the good news with Joe," Xavia explained.

Joseph already knew what she meant by "good news," and his expression turned dark. "I already know. Go home and take care of yourself and the baby.”
