Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 803 Lock Her up as Joseph Did

It was unknown if Noah took Desmon’s advice seriously. He kept his head low and took a step back, letting the shadows hide his expression. He whispered, "I understand."

Desmond shook his head helplessly. "You've always been smart and could differentiate between right and wrong. You should lead Coco forward and forget about the past. There’s no need to fill all of Coco's requests. Do you understand?"

Being nice to someone was no guarantee that the person would treat you in kind.

"That’s what I want too, Grandpa."

"I know, so you have to be the one to pull Coco out. Men should put up a strong front when the time calls for it. You're just too docile. You shouldn’t always listen to Coco. You guys are about to get married. How about you two go on a trip and not let the recent events affect you? And don't worry about the company. Exotic Star won't go downhill just because of public opinion."

One was his granddaughter and the other was his adopted grandson that had grown up with him. He cared about them very much and did not want to speak harshly about either of them.

Noah looked up at Desmond with a strange look. "Okay."

'A strong front... Do I have to lock her up as Joseph did so that she won't forget about me?'

Desmond was deeply worried, so did not detect the change in Noah's gaze. The Sullivans were wary of Duskfall, and Desmond shared Harold's sentiments—that they were old and could only rely on their descendants in the future. Hence, they did not want to get into trouble unless absolutely necessary. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe had kept in touch with Joseph. When she learned that Vanya had been taken away, she twirled around her room happily and cheered like a happy kid. ‘I’ll surely learn of my child's whereabouts soon. This is amazing!’

She was so excited that she could not sleep that night and texted Joseph several times. She told him to ask Vanya about the child. However, Vanya did not trust Joseph and requested to speak face-to-face with Chloe instead.

"Are you asleep?"

Noah’s voice suddenly came from her doorway. Chloe held her breath and pretended to be asleep. Noah sounded a little off. Aside from when he was mad, he would usually address her before talking to her.

Chloe became anxious. 'Did he find out I’m still in touch with Joseph? Is he here to interrogate me?' She stared at the door of her bedroom. After a few minutes, she heard him leave. She heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Noah went downstairs as he observed the light shining through from under her door. An iciness crept up his face. Their imminent marriage brought him no joy.

Early the next morning, Callum returned to Docwood. After learning about what had happened recently, he asked his subordinates to issue invitations for a birthday party in his name. All those of influence in the city were invited. The purpose of the party was clear—he supported Chloe.

Xavia and Kenneth were on the guestlist, and Otto would also be there as he was dating Ophelia. Tonight was going to be a lively night.

When Chloe got to Exotic Star, everyone in the office looked at her with admiration.
