Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

After Eustace left, Xavia stood in the courtyard and shivered from the cold. Refusing to let him have his way, she tightened her collar and followed after him.

Harold was standing inside the room next door when Xavia passed by. She caught a glimpse of him and felt a sense of familiarity. Curiosity got the better of her and she halted her steps. She gently pushed the door open to take a closer look, but before she could see clearly, Harold raised his cane and swung it toward her.

turned to head back to his room to call Joseph and reveal the truth. Behind him, a malicious intent crossed Xavia’s mind. She looked toward a nearby flower vase before lowering her head to study
