Skyler was a little unhappy. “What? Do I embarrass you? He helped my wife, and I can’t thank him?”Seeing that Skyler was taking this too personally, Jocelyn could not help but tactfully said, “No, that’s not it. I’ve already paid back Abel’s favor. So this matter has already ended.”Skyler snorted softly and frowned in displeasure. “Alright, I’ll just believe you.”Jocelyn was having mixed feelings. She could sensitively feel that Skyler was not the same as before.He never used to say things like ‘You are my wife’ or ‘I’ll just believe you’. Not only did he respect her thoughts, but he also took the initiative to apologize to her!However, she genuinely was not used to this.This was no better than when he was always cold to her and would always separate their affairs clearly.Jocelyn was a little flustered when she was looking at Skyler like this.Skyler seemed to notice her uneasiness and he frowned. “Jocelyn, you can treat me as a friend in the future.”Skyler was daydrea
Jocelyn said, “Mr. Moore, I swear to God that I really didn’t do that!” Skyler loosened his grip on Jocelyn’s hand at once.There was a tired expression on his face. “Do you dislike me that much?”“...” Jocelyn was speechless. How could she reply to this question? If she told him that she did not dislike him, that meant that she had ulterior motives toward him!Skyler’s expression wilted when he noticed that Jocelyn was not saying anything. “Never mind, you should head upstairs first!” When Jim received Skyler’s call, his men had just told him that Derek and Yvonne had been escorted onto the plane. Skyler relayed his conversation with Jocelyn to Jim once. “Do you think she really can’t tell that I have feelings for her?” Jim laughed mockingly and said, “You deserve all of this. Why did you call me a fool during the gathering? You’ve received karma now, right?” Skyler was speechless. “Can you speak properly?” Naturally, Jim knew that Skyler had purposely made things
Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly. If she rejected Walter again, this would be the third time she did so! She thought about it for a while. Finally, she agreed to his request in an exasperated manner. “Alright, where at? Send me the location!” Walter finally let out a sigh of relief. “Come to Tingo Restaurant. I’m over here right now. I remember that you liked having the pasta over there in the past!” Tingo Restaurant was a Western restaurant. When they were in university, Jocelyn and Walter often ate there. Back then, Jocelyn thought that although they had not confessed their feelings to each other, they looked like a couple in a relationship. After that, Snow’s appearance shattered all her naive assumptions and turned her hopes into nothing. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll be there!” After hanging up on the call, Jocelyn headed to Tingo Restaurant. Lexie left the house as well. Ever since she showed off her skills in the gaming company that day, Jim had been c
There was a complicated expression on Jocelyn’s face. However, she hesitantly said, “Walt, we’re just friends!” There was a look of disappointment on Walter’s face. When he noticed the serious expression on Jocelyn’s face, he felt slightly exasperated. “Alright, alright, we’re just friends! I’m hungry. I’m afraid that I won’t be full enough if I order a single set meal!” Jocelyn nodded and remained silent. She had expressed her stance extremely clearly.Walter understood her well. He stopped trying to make it seem like they had a close relationship and took the initiative to bring up some topics that Jocelyn was interested in. Both of them chatted happily. If they disregarded the incident that happened two years ago, the both of them could still get along like a close senior and junior that had not seen each other for the past two years. Meanwhile, Skyler had prepared a table full of dishes at home. However, he did not have an appetite at all. He sat down on the sofa and
Jocelyn ate extremely quickly. After finishing her single set meal, she made to leave. Walter tried to make her stay. “Don’t you want to sit here a little longer?” Jocelyn shook her head and said, “No, my boyfriend called me!” Walter felt terrible. However, he resisted it and asked, “Does he treat you well?” Jocelyn thought about Skyler’s uncharacteristic behaviors lately. She then smiled and said, “He treats me pretty good!” Walter was mesmerized by her smile. Perhaps that man really treated her well. That might be the reason why she had instinctively smiled so radiantly for him.He forced a smile and said, “That’s great. You can go first. I’ll sit here for a while!” Jocelyn nodded, got up, and left. Tingo Restaurant was located on the fifteenth floor of a commercial building. There were two elevators for guests to travel upstairs and downstairs. Jocelyn did not know that someone had taken the elevator up when she was headed downstairs. Jocelyn went downstairs and drove
Skyler felt even more frustrated when he thought about his behavior today. When Skyler returned to Villa No. 1, he did not feel like going in when he thought about how empty the house was. He started smoking in the car alone. He smoked a few cigarettes. Finally, he put out the last cigarette once he got a headache. He then got down from the car. Initially, Skyler thought that Jocelyn was not back yet. He assumed that she had gone somewhere else on a date with that mysterious man.However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Jocelyn’s shoes by the door. His expression changed as he took large strides into the house without even taking off his shoes. He saw Jocelyn sitting in the dining room at first sight. She was eating the dinner that he had prepared. Skyler looked at Jocelyn. A complicated expression appeared on his face. Jocelyn raised her head to glance at him after hearing the noise. “Mr. Moore, you’re back! I didn’t know that you knew how to cook!”Skyler did no
Skyler had never expected things to take such a turn. A surprised expression appeared on his face momentarily. Jocelyn spoke to him in an angered tone, “I don’t know who said such nonsense about me in front of you and made you think about me that way, but let me tell you this. I, Jocelyn White, have not done anything to wrong you. On the other hand, you have been having an ambiguous relationship with Rhode Ginn. The scandal between both of you has spread everywhere. Did I ever say anything about it? “What gives you the right to accuse me like that? We’re married, and I should keep my distance from other men. I don’t have anything to say about this. However, I shouldn’t be the only one being restricted by our marriage certificate. Skyler Moore, although I’m a nobody, I have feelings too. Don’t go overboard!” This was the first time Jocelyn had spoken like that to Skyler. Skyler was stunned. Suddenly, he felt that he was at a loss for words. An awkward expression formed on his f
Skyler: [Is it too late if I start trusting her now?] Jim: [Don’t be so full of yourself. If you see her hugging another man the next time, what will you think?] Skyler: […]Jim: [I knew that you were just all talk and no action. Why didn’t you think that person could’ve been her biological father or someone like that? Didn’t you say that Michael White isn’t Jocelyn’s biological father? There are many possibilities. Don’t be so narrow-minded and jump to conclusions straight away!]Skyler: [I got it! Should I still bring Rhode to tonight’s business gala?] Jim was the one who had suggested for Skyler to do so. He had asked Skyler to bring Rhode to the gala to make Jocelyn jealous!Jim: [Why would you bring her there? You must bring Jocelyn White along. If you bring Rhode over to the gala today, you should just cut ties with Jocelyn at once! Jocelyn’s thoughts are beyond clear after everything that happened last night!] Jim: [She’s angry at you because of your double standards
