Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 814 But...Someone Saw You With Joseph

Zoelle flashed a mischievous smile and playfully inquired, "What do you think? Are you hoping that she is?"

"I think she is. She and Kenneth seem like a good match."

Most importantly, even if Xavia were pregnant, Callum would not let her truly marry into the royal family.

Zoelle smiled and nodded. "Nah, wrong. I think you shouldn’t play guessing games."

"Xavia isn't pregnant?"

"Nope." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Chloe narrowed her eyes in contemplation, murmuring to herself, "So how did she deceive them?"

The royal family possesses a dedicated medical team and the most advanced medical equipment. Kenneth must have brought Xavia to the royal castle for examination. The chances of Xavia hatching a plan with the medical staff within a month seemed unlikely.

Zoelle shrugged and responded, “I don't know, but I can confirm she shows no signs of pregnancy."

On top of that, Xavia’s period had just ended.

"Colluding with the medical staff is unlikely, but she might’ve colluded with someone else," Noah said as he spotted a busy, pregnant house helper.

Chloe followed his line of sight and instantly grasped his thought. "You're suggesting she switched out her test results with someone else's to deceive them?"

"She must’ve used the urine of someone within the royal castle who’s already pregnant."

Within the royal castle, as long as there was mutual consent, such exchanges were entirely possible.

Chloe's eyes brightened as she came to a conclusion. "That's reasonable. I'll have Ophelia look into all the pregnant women in the royal castle and identify who has been in contact with Xavia recently."

Noah nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Once the distraction that is Xavia has been dealt with, we can move forward with our marriage plans, right?"

Chloe hesitated, considering briefly whether to pretend to agree. However, her genuine reaction surfaced instead. "Let's not discuss that at the moment."

"Why?" His eyes were slightly reddened at the corners from drinking. It gave him a somewhat fragile appearance. "Or do you have no intention of marrying me at all?"

Her gaze involuntarily shifted away as she calmly said, "No, it was just a passing remark. Let's just focus on enjoying the bonfire and chatting with everyone tonight. We've been so tense lately, so let’s kick off our shoes for today and not dwell on things."

"I wish I could avoid overthinking it, but...someone saw you with Joseph."

Noah's eyes lowered, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. He then looked up again. His intense gaze struck straight at Chloe's heart, and she involuntarily shivered.

‘Did he see us? It can't be. That place was built for privacy. And even if he did see, I was coerced into it,’ Chloe thought. Regardless of future plans, she understood that engaging in intimate behavior with another man while engaged was wrong.

"I did meet him in the garden, and we exchanged a few words," she offered, straddling the line between truth and lie.

Noah quietly listened to her explanation. His gaze traversed her face, inch by inch, before settling on her neck. A faint pink mark rested there, barely noticeable without close examination.

Even with Zoelle’s expertise in romantic affairs, she could not identify if the mark was a love bite or not as the sky was already dark and the mark was barely even there. Also, her attention was on an entirely different matter.

"Chloe and Joseph..." she asked incredulously.

"Coco is Joseph's ex-wife," Noah blurted out.

"Damn!"

Zoelle realized that after all the trouble she had gone through, this youngling had pulled a fast one on her.

"Would you believe me if I said I never deliberately kept this from you?" Chloe laughed awkwardly. It was just too embarrassing.

Zoelle angrily placed her hands on her hips and glared at Chloe. "And you accuse me of not treating you like a friend. You used me as a friend to deal with Xavia. I think you're even more cunning than her.”
