Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 208 A Non–answer Is the Answer

Xavia’s expression momentarily stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure thanks to her inherent good manners. Her gaze returned to its normal state, carrying a subtle sense of superiority that seemed ingrained in her. “Joe has a sensitive stomach. His preference for the dishes you prepare indicates your culinary skill. I’ll be counting on you to look after him from now on.”

She spoke politely, but if one listened closely, it felt as though she was implying that taking care of Joseph was a privilege and something to be cherished.

Chloe could not quite discern Xavia’s true intentions behind her kind words, but she nodded in agreement nonetheless. “I will,” she replied. It was merely the task of looking after a troublesome b*stard for three years. She did not need Xavia to tell her that she needed to fulfill her part of the contract. Chloe

understood that much.

Xavia offered a faint smile in response and fell silent. As an artist, her temperament spoke volumes–gentle and elegant. Her mere presence commanded the attention of many, drawing glances from men who often turned to gaze at her beauty.

Meanwhile, Chloe’s empty stomach growled, reminding her of the discomfort caused by her hunger. “Feel free to make yourself at home. I have something to attend to, so I won’t be able to keep you company.”

She turned to leave, taking her first step forward when Xavia’s voice interrupted her. “Ms. Chloe, Joe and I have already ended

our relationship. You don’t need to worry. I don’t want to interfere with your feelings. However, in Aesper, Joe is the only friend I have. Sometimes, I just want to catch up with him. I hope you won’t make it difficult for him,” reassured Xavia, her tone carrying a hint of assurance. “And as for Joe, know him quite well–the circles he frequents and the friends he keeps. If there’s anything you want to know, Ms. Chloe, feel free to come and ask me.”
