Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 256

Chapter 256 No More Interactions

Seeing how drunk Chloe was, Icarus quickly took her from Emily’s arms and gently ushered her into his car.

Emily tried to speak up several times, but she hesitated in the end.

Icarus sensed her concerns and took the initiative to say, “Show me the way. I’ll take you home. I promise I won’t do anything inappropriate.”

Emily touched her nose, feeling a bit awkward. “That’s not what I meant. I just think that Coco and Joseph often have arguments. It’s probably the same this time. Don’t focus all your attention on Coco. You should get to know other girls.”

Icarus shrugged and smiled gentlemanly. “This isn’t something I can control.”

“Well… You’re right.”

Chloe was in the same situation. Initially, she and Joseph were using each other for their own purposes, but she had now begun to view their relationship in a new light. She invested herself emotionally and developed genuine feelings for Joseph.

However, she was to be blamed as well. If she had not mistook Joseph for Jake’s uncle, none of this would have happened.

Emily cast a discreet glance at Icarus, carefully assessing his appearance. He wore a suit that fit him perfectly, exuding an air of refinement and elegance. Among ordinary men, he would undoubtedly be considered an excellent choice. However, when compared to Joseph, he fell noticeably short. It was no wonder that Chloe had been drawn to Joseph’s charm and appeal.

Emily had recently moved back into her parent’s home, and since her parents had a negative impression of Chloe right now, they brought her to a hotel.

Icarus gently laid Chloe on the bed and made sure she was comfortable before tucking her in with a blanket. Noticing her red and swollen foot, he promptly went out to purchase a cold spray to alleviate the pain.

Returning to the room, he carefully applied the spray to Chloe’s foot, ensuring her comfort. With his task complete, Icarus quietly left the room, allowing Chloe to rest.

Emily stayed in the hotel, working on her laptop that she retrieved from her bag while waiting for Chloe to wake up.

At around 7 in the evening, Chloe opened her eyes drowsily and glanced at Emily typing on the keyboard beside her. Subconsciously, she picked up her phone and checked it. There were three unread texts.

As she read them, a wave of dejection washed over her, followed by a sense of amusement at her own naivety. She was the one who broke up with Joseph, so why was she still hoping for

something?

She sat up and quickly replied to the messages from Icarus.

“Hey, you finally awake?” Emily stretched lazily, tossing over the cold spray. “Icarus bought this for you. Spray it three times a day, once now, and again before bedtime. What happened to your ankle? It’s all swollen. Didn’t Joseph take care of you? How did you end up arguing?”

Chloe lowered her head, looking at the spray bottle in her hands, feeling a mix of complex emotions. “He didn’t take care of me. He even made me apologize to Xavia.”

“What?” Emily widened her eyes, her anger rising. “He did such a thing? You were upset too when the dogs went missing. Besides, you didn’t do it on purpose!”

“He and Xavia both believe I did it on purpose.”

Emily frowned, unable to accept it. “In that case, you should definitely argue with him.”

In the eyes of the current partner, the ex was always a forbidden presence, regardless of the circumstances. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

How could Joseph make Chloe apologize to Xavia? Could he not have said something himself?

“Well, it wasn’t just a fight. We actually broke up,” Chloe said.

“What?!” Emily exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening, “Are you serious this time?”

“Yes, I can tolerate his bad temper, but I can’t handle his ex. I can’t be friends with my boyfriend’s ex,” Chloe explained.

“But she took a stab for you. Won’t it make you seem ungrateful?” Emily said. However, she soon realized her words were inappropriate and quickly added, “I’m not implying that you lack gratitude. I mean, others might perceive it that way.”

Chloe had treated Xavia kindly. Although they were not particularly close, they maintained a cordial relationship. After Xavia’s injury, Chloe consistently prepared nutritious meals for her and visited her at the hospital. She also arranged for a caregiver and covered all the medical expenses. She even took care of Xavia’s dog.

Chloe sighed, “I appreciate her kindness. I’ve already informed the hospital and paid for another year of her chemotherapy fees as a gesture of goodwill, whether she needs it or not.”

Most likely, they would not have much interaction in the future.

Emily nodded in understanding. It seemed like a reasonable decision.

They continued chatting for a while when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
