Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

In a state of despair, Chloe lowered her weary arm and let out a desolate smile. “I’ll ask you one last time, Joseph. Do you truly refuse to believe me?”

They had already reconciled and gotten rid of Xavia-the only obstacle in their relationship- so how did things suddenly turn out this way?

With a sudden pang of inexplicable emotion, Joseph’s heart softened for a moment when he heard her choked-up voice. However, he simply uttered one sentence before resolutely turning away.

“Icarus has already confessed. Your words mean nothing.”

Chloe helplessly watched his retreating figure, feeling as though a gaping hole had been torn open in her chest, making every breath painful. After stubbornly waiting for an hour, she believed that Joseph had truly abandoned her.

She covered her face and wept in despair, her frail shoulders drooping in profound misery.

Upon hearing this, Chloe’s eyelashes trembled. “Do you know where Icarus is?”
