Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 154 No Way

Joseph propped up his chin with one hand, his gaze icy and piercing as it landed on Chloe’s

face.

His tone brooked no opposition as he commanded, “From now on, stay away from Icarus.”

Confused, Chloe protested, “But why? Nothing happened between us, and I don’t have any feelings for him.”

“You might not, but I can see clearly that he has feelings for you.” Joseph furrowed his brow, his gaze bereft of emotion. “Or do you simply enjoy being admired by others?”

“If you can see that I have no such feelings for Icarus, why can’t you trust me?”

“Hah!” Joseph sneered, his nostrils flaring with disdain. “If there truly is nothing between you, then you should maintain your distance from him. Don’t think for a moment that I’m unaware of your intentions. You’re keeping him as a backup plan, ready to go to him as soon as you leave me. Those occasional dates with him only serve to reinforce that fact.”

Chloe met Joseph’s cold gaze, her frustration was evident as she explained, “No, that’s not it. I was completely unaware of his feelings for me. If I had known, I’d have never gone out with him. Especially not with you present. Cheating or betraying someone should always be carried out with discretion. It’s not something that can be done openly or in a public manner.”

It would be a public display of humiliation, and she was not an idiot.

As soon as the word “cheating” reached Joseph’s ears, something inside him snapped. He reached for her hand and gripped it tightly, a menacing aura shrouding his handsome face as each word he uttered dripped with fury.

“Are you challenging me?”

“What? No! I was just explaining. I’d never cheat on you with Icarus!”

Little did Chloe know, the more she explained, the more it stoked Joseph’s anger. The flames of fury rose higher within him. He could not bear the sight of her lips, which seemed to mention nothing but Icarus. Overwhelmed by irritation, he leaned in and sealed her lips with a
