Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 229 You Won’t Find a Better Man Than Joseph

Everyone was left in a state of shock, their jaws hanging wide open in astonishment, wondering what was going on. All eyes were fixed on Chloe, and a surprising notion began to take hold. Was this money intended as a reward for her?

Lucas leaned closer to Joseph and spoke in a hushed tone, “Sir, Finance only has 300 thousand in cash remaining. If it’s insufficient, I can go to the bank right now and withdraw more.”

“Just give it to her,” Joseph replied.

‘She would surely save every penny she can get her hands on. What a chore.”

Lucas pulled the small trolley until it was in front of Chloe, his smile beaming with warmth as he said, “This is a reward from Mr. Joseph to you.”

A big question mark slowly appeared on Chloe’s face, her mind struggling to process the unexpected gesture. She remained momentarily lost for words.

Sensing her confusion, Lucas leaned in and whispered in a hushed tone that only they could hear, “Mr. Joseph is making an effort to win you over.”

Chloe’s eyes glistened with tears, her emotions welling up inside her. Despite Joseph’s seemingly arrogant demeanor, there was a flicker of affection in the tilt of his chin, softening his otherwise cold facade. Her heart was enveloped in a warmth and sweetness akin to savoring a comforting bowl of hot soup.

Lucas continued, “Ms. Chloe, Mr. Joseph genuinely cares for you. His actions may be driven by jealousy, but it’s not a deliberate attempt to cause strife. Please don’t be angry anymore.”

‘Because it’s me who suffers when you two argue and go through conflicts,’ he added silently.

Chloe lowered her face, concealing the teardrops that welled up in her eyes. At that moment, she realized that there was someone in this world who cared about her deeply. Although she had not received the love she longed for from her parents, she had found love.
