Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 526 Hazel Is a Habitual Offender, Chloe Was Deceived

Emily raised her cup and took a sip of lemon juice, her mind filled with disbelief. “Damn it! That blind date at the resort was an absolute disaster. Rob and the matchmaker exchanged a few words, insinuating that Lucas was my lover. Then, the matchmaker had the audacity to inform my parents.

“They pressured me into inviting Lucas over so that they could scrutinize and assess him. And I figured it’d be wiser to shift the dynamics and just ask Lucas for a favor. That way, I can bid farewell to these dreadful blind dates and steer clear of the ensuing troubles.”

Chloe interjected, her voice laced with reason. “But your parents aren’t particularly fond of Lucas. They’ve met him once and were far from impressed.”

“Yeah, they didn’t like him. But if they keep forcing my hand, I’ll just tell them it’s a done deal, “Emily replied.

Her parents had set their sights on a son-in-law with a hefty salary and a prestigious government job-requirements that were contradictory. Given Emily’s average qualifications and ordinary family background, finding a suitable match should have been sufficient. How could she dare to entertain the notion of a prince charming? Only her parents seemed lost in a perpetual daydream.

Chloe blinked her almond-shaped eyes and fixed her gaze on Emily. “Are you certain that’s the only reason?”

“Yes!”

Chloe seemed to have further questions, but their conversation was interrupted by Joseph’s arrival. Emily shifted her attention to Joseph and teased, “You’ve had a busy day.”

Joseph responded with a cool and bewildered tone. “Excuse me?”

“We saw Xavia calling you,” Emily asserted firmly. How typical of a man to not admit anything. Men always had this frustrating flaw of being stubborn until confronted with evidence.
