Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 261

Chapter 261 A Bastard Child

Harold asked, “She didn’t bring you to the party with her?”

Joseph nodded as if he was complaining about it, but he did not notice his behavior.

Harold gave Chloe a reproachful stare. “Chloe, you guys are a married couple and are a team now. Your friends will get suspicious if you attend gatherings alone. You might even make a fool of yourself. If you two are having problems, talk it out in private.”

“Okay, Grandpa, I won’t do it again.” Chloe picked at her nails as she stood in the corner. She appeared like an obedient child who had made a mistake, but she was secretly cursing Joseph inside.

Feeling worried, Harold told them off a while before he let them off the hook.

While Chloe headed upstairs, she planned to return to her own room, but Joseph pulled her into the master bedroom. He then looked at her condescendingly. “Are you that eager to let Grandpa find something amiss?”

Chloe knew that she was in the wrong, so she muttered, “Sorry, it was out of habit…”

After silence fell, she looked around the room and sat down on a chair. The room was filled with Joseph’s unique scent. As his ex-girlfriend, she inevitably felt uneasy.

‘I think Grandpa will leave at night… Otherwise, do I have to stay with Joseph for the night?”

While dwelling on that, Chloe became flustered.

When Joseph saw her lower her eyes to mull over something, he assumed that she was thinking about Icarus. He knitted his brows and exuded a sinister aura. His aura rose with great momentum, so it was

hard to escape her notice.

She looked up and suddenly noticed that the back of his hand was injured. The wound had stopped bleeding and was scabbed over. “Did you hurt yourself in the fight just now?”

Joseph was stunned. A tinge of uneasiness flashed across his cold and handsome face.

He had lost control of himself the day she broke up with him and accidentally tore open the wound when he exerted himself in the fight earlier.

Chloe brought over a medical kit and attentively tended to his wound. Although they were no longer in a relationship, they were still bound by a contract. Hence, she could not stand by and ignore it.

Joseph did not turn her down either and arrogantly extended his hand to her. Slowly, he broke into a smile and was in a better mood. ‘Well, looks like the dumbo still cares for me. Icarus is just Plan B at most.’

When Chloe was tending to his wound, Lucas texted him. [Mr. Joseph, I’ve delivered all the

evidence to Benjamin. He’s now forcing Ava to take a paternity test at the hospital.]

Joseph threw the phone aside and pinched her tender face lightly. “Are you in the mood for some fun?”

Confusion washed over her. “What?”

“Read the message.”

She looked toward the phone he threw on the sofa. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she walked over and picked it up to have a look. After she read it, she widened her eyes in shock. How did you get evidence of Karen cheating on Benjamin with Diego?”

Even the evidence had been delivered to Benjamin.

Chloe had planned to seek out Benjamin over the next few days but she now had to postpone her plan since Karen’s love affair was exposed out of the blue.

Joseph snorted. “If one does something bad, people will inevitably hear about it.”

He had let Benjamin see the photographs of Karen and Diego having a tryst but Benjamin decided to fool himself. Joseph, being left with no other option and having lost all patience to let the situation develop slowly, got someone to do a paternity test before delivering it to Benjamin. Karen would eventually expose herself if she was careless regardless if the paternity test was true or false.

Chloe nodded firmly and said decisively, “I want to go.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She would have ceased having any contact with the Johnsons if she had not discovered the truth of her mother’s death. They were so cruel and had killed their mother using such a ruthless method.

Chloe would be a coward if she did nothing about it.

When Joseph noticed the deep hatred in her eyes, he patted her back. Even his cold tone softened a little. “Okay, I’ll take you there with me.”

Harold, who was sitting downstairs watching TV, saw them come down at the same time. He became curious and was about to ask about it. However, Chloe beat him to it. “Grandpa, Jojo and I are going for a walk. We’ll be home in a bit.”

Seeing this, Harold thought that they had made up with each other. He smiled and waved. “Go ahead.”

At the door of a private hospital, Karen hugged Ava firmly without any intention to let cried and screamed, “You doubt me just because of a paternity test that came from nowhere?! How do I show

myself in front of our relatives and friends if words get out about this?!”

“Get lost! Don’t even mention my relatives and friends. If they find out I raised the bastard of

She another man for more than twenty years, I’ll become the laughing stock!” Benjamin’s face became hideous as he exerted a greater force to grab Ava’s hair and pull her into the hospital.
