Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 199 Once the Novelty Wears Off, She’ll Lose

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Don’t allow Xavia to come between you and Mr. Joseph. Their chapter is closed, and you’re the one who matters to him now. When you two had an argument yesterday, he was in a sour mood all morning. It wasn’t until you arrived that he seemed to brighten up a bit.”

Lucas had been working anxiously the whole morning as he was afraid of enraging Joseph.

Chloe looked at Lucas, taking in his features. With his delicate facial structure and slightly tanned skin, he exuded a spirited demeanor. Aware of his good intentions, she calmly shook her head. “You know that our marriage is fake, right? The contract will expire. We have no relationship beyond that.”

“Don’t you want to fight for it?” Lucas asked.

“What do I have to fight with?” Chloe retorted.

“Mr. Joseph has shown interest in you. You have a chance,” Lucas encouraged.

Chloe scoffed mockingly. “He has never explicitly expressed any romantic feelings toward me. I’ve tried, but the outcome was far from satisfactory. I’m the kind of person who prefers everything to be clear and straightforward, especially when it comes to relationships. I don’t like being toyed with.”

“You know that Mr. Joseph is tough on the outside but a softie on the inside, right? I’m sure he has feelings for you,” Lucas insisted.

Chloe let off a dismissive chuckle. “Are you referring to

infatuation or mere attraction? It’s natural for there to be a sense of novelty in a relationship, but what matters is how things progress once that initial spark fades.”
