Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 269 Joseph, Have You No Shame?

Xavia maintained an unwavering expression, her delicate makeup accentuating her brows and eyes, giving her a rosy complexion. However, her hands holding her utensils betrayed a slight whitening of the knuckles.

Nathan let out a sigh and intentionally made a loud noise, “Well, well. Miracles do happen. Joe actually knows how to take care of someone.”

Chloe felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her, leaving her unsure of the situation. She was at a loss for words, uncertain of how to respond.

As they finished their meal, Joseph gently put down his utensils and turned his attention to Xavia. “I discovered something last night. There were numerous freeze-dried snacks near the spot where the dogs went missing as if someone intentionally lured them there. It’s highly possible that Oreo and Toto, just as Chloe mentioned, were deliberately enticed.”

Chloe’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes glimmered with astonishment as she fixed her gaze on the man beside her. An incredible thought surged within her, ‘Was today’s gathering specifically arranged to discuss this matter, involving both me and Xavia?’

Xavia’s hand trembled imperceptibly, and she lifted her head with a guilty tone. “Ah… It seems that we’ve misunderstood Ms. Chloe.”

“Yup.”

“We acted too hastily and were confused. On Joe’s behalf, I’d like to say we’re sorry.” Xavia sincerely extended her apology to Chloe.

Chloe was not one to hold grudges and whispered softly, “It’s fine.”

“Misunderstandings resolved. Fantastic!” Nathan exclaimed, raising his glass for a toast with Xavia. “In the future, if you need anything, just come to me. We’re friends, after all. Whether it’s taking care of the dogs or anything else, count on me. Now that Joe is married and Mr. Harold is eager for grandchildren, we should give them some personal space, right?”
