Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 675 Was This Feeling Any Different From Betrayal?

Natalie did not dare entertain such extravagant thoughts and quickly waved them away.

"No, no! I'd be more than satisfied with a man who’s half as good as Joe."

Chloe chuckled and did not comment on this.

Natalie pointed at Noah and asked, "Are you guys dating now?"

"Nope. We're just friends," Noah explained, saving Chloe from an embarrassing situation.

Chloe nodded. The consideration Noah showed her was something Joseph had never done.

"I see…" Natalie replied and tactfully ended the conversation.

Chloe followed Noah to greet and congratulate Quentin. The man of honor had been busy attending to other guests and had yet to notice Chloe. When they met, he was stunned, but he did not say anything to her.

Quentin was an outstanding individual—courteous in his interactions and a highly capable person. His marriage to the princess was proof that he was deserving of being the Walker heir.

After chatting for a while, Noah presented the gift he had brought while smiling innocently. "This is a limited-edition necklace from Exotic Star. I hope the princess will like it."

Chloe could guess Noah’s intention. The gift was not just a token of congratulations, but also an opportunity to have the princess endorse it for free. Exotic Star's sales would surely soar once those in their circle caught wind of what the princess was wearing.

"Thank you. This design hasn't been released to the market yet, right?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Noah nodded, "That's right. It will only be launched next month."

"Eli loves the jewelry from Exotic Star, and I believe she'll be thrilled to receive this," Quentin said.

Noah smiled. "I'll be very happy if she likes it. If there are any future collections that the princess is interested in, you can contact our team and we'll have them delivered to you."

Quentin nodded and shifted his gaze toward Chloe. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by the arrival of the next group.

Following Quentin's gaze, Chloe spotted a middle-aged man leading the group.

Quentin's eyes lit up, and he said to Noah, "Please excuse me."

Chloe could tell from Quentin's reaction that the middle-aged man held a significant status. He exuded an aura of authority, unlike the other businessmen who were busy networking and socializing. Leaving his entourage behind, the man found an empty seat and sat down. Interestingly, he was seated quite close to Joseph.

"Who is he?" Chloe asked.

"That’s Callum Gillingham. He's the husband of one of the royals and is considered Quentin's elder," Noah explained.

Chloe raised an eyebrow understandingly. However, she did not pay much attention to him as there were many powerful figures at the party. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was an unknown number. The venue was a little noisy, so she found a quiet corner in the hallway to answer the call.

"Hello? Who’s this?" Chloe asked.

"C-Chloe?" Came Xavia’s tentative voice from the other end.

Chloe frowned and instantly ended the call. There was no need to guess. It was evident that it was Megan who had told Xavia about Chloe.

While abroad, Chloe had gotten a new number. Upon returning to Asvand, she discovered that her old SIM card was still functional, so she decided to continue using it. That was how Xavia had reached her so quickly. Xavia called again and again, but Chloe ignored them and eventually blocked the number.

When Chloe was leaving the party, a tall figure stood in her way. As she looked up, she found a familiar face staring down at her. His expression was dark, and she could see the deep pain in his gaze.

"I knew you were still alive. Why did you lie to me?"

Not only was she alive, but she was also with Noah now. She seemed to be doing well, while he had been tormented by memories of the past for the last five years.

Was this feeling any different from betrayal?
