Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 759 She Had Been Impulsive and Arrogant

Noah chuckled softly. His voice was somewhat hoarse as he said, "You're criticizing me because of an outsider? If it were Joseph, would you call off the engagement?"

Clenching her jaw, Chloe said, "It doesn't matter who it is. Let's focus on the issue at hand. I’ve promised to be with you, so please stop bringing up his name."

"Sure, I’ll stop, but why did you go and see him in secret?"

Chloe was stunned. As their eyes met, she noted the restrained anger in his gaze.

Noah took a few determined strides forward, closing the distance between them. "You said you were with Emily, but the truth is you spent the whole night with Joseph. Even then, I forgave you and pretended like nothing happened. But now, after just a few words from Joseph, you turn the tables and criticize me? Chloe, I've treated you well all these years, can't you see that? In the end, who should be questioning whom?"

Chloe was stunned and her heart hitched in her throat. "You knew about that night..."

Noah took a deep breath, his face tinged with resentment and self-derision. "I waited outside his house the whole night, naively hoping you wouldn't come out. I thought you’d never lie to me..."

He had wrestled with himself mentally for so long, but she was oblivious to it all.

"I…" Chloe was stumped as overwhelming guilt engulfed her. She realized that Noah had known all along that she had not been with Emily. He knew that she had lied, but he chose not to confront her in front of his grandfather and silently endured it.

"I really wanted to go in and find you that night, but I was afraid of seeing an unbearable scene. I couldn't handle it, so I just sat in the car all night. And the next morning, I saw you coming out of his house."

Noah’s voice was low and his expression stormy. His gaze turned cold as the pent-up anger in the depths of his heart finally exploded. The air around them seemed to freeze, sending a chill down Chloe's spine.

She stood there, feeling lost and overwhelmed. She knew she was in the wrong. As someone about to be engaged, going to a man's house late at night was a dangerous thing to do. She had been impulsive and arrogant. Now, she could not hide the truth any longer.

"I'm sorry. Something unexpected happened that night. I just wanted to get back the shares of the resort. That's why I went to his house…" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Noah trembled as his eyes flashed with a hint of pain. "That’s why I sold the resort. You don't have to compromise anymore. Without Joseph, we can live a good life."

Chloe's eyes welled up with tears. She choked up as she made a decision. "Let's call off the marriage. You deserve someone better."

Though the whole thing had been an accident, she could not forgive herself.

"No!" Noah grabbed Chloe's shoulders tightly, his grip so strong that it made her wince in pain. "You’re my woman, and I will never let you go back to Joseph!"

Chloe was fragile, like a delicate porcelain doll that would shatter at the slightest touch. She grimaced in pain and said, "Let go. It hurts..."

His eyes turned red, and he appeared somewhat obsessive, "Say that you won't leave me."

Feeling uncomfortable, Chloe wanted to end the conversation quickly and reluctantly compromised. "Fine, I won’t."

As soon as she finished speaking, Noah released his hold on Chloe and pulled her into a tight embrace. She thought about pushing him away, but her hand hesitated in mid-air before dropping to her sides.

"Don't you despise me?" she asked.
