Skyler frowned fiercely, ignored Rhode's question, and started the car.He was worried about the situation on Jocelyn's side, so he was so anxious that he did not bother to talk nonsense with Rhode. Hence, she moved to the backseat.The car drove for a long time and Rhode kept looking at him secretly without saying a word.Skyler's patience ran out. “If you have nothing to say, get out of the car immediately!”Rhode hurriedly looked up at Skyler's profile and said in urgently, “I have something to say, Mr. Moore. I came here to apologize to you. I know you have your reasons for removing me as the ambassador. If I did something wrong, I would definitely hold myself accountable to the end.”Skyler snorted coldly. “So, you don't know why I removed you?”Rhode's face was blank. “I genuinely have no idea. I've been busy filming for the past few days. Yesterday, I suddenly received news that the ambassador had changed. So I thought I must have done something wrong, right?”Rhode looke
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the hospital building, he received a call from Jim. “Skyler, come to the roof of the inpatient department, I have something to tell you.”Skyler frowned. “What do you want?”Jim's voice was not as unserious as it usually was. “It's about Jocelyn's safety.”Skyler's eyes darkened and his face became tense. “I'll go upstairs right now.”Inside the ward.Zayn had just left after examining Lexie when she woke up.Jocelyn hurriedly asked her, “How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?”Lexie was expressionless. “I’m fine.”“You just had a stomach bleed, so you can’t eat anything. It's almost noon, let me order some soup for you.”Lexie's tone was insipid. She sounded like a lifeless puppet. “You can decide.”Jocelyn sighed helplessly. She was afraid that Lexie would take a while to recover.Maybe in her heart, it was fine if Davis did not love her, but he could not doubt her.After all, they had known each other for so long, and Davis'
Jocelyn's attitude made Skyler panic. He could not help pulling on his tie. “I know you have to take care of Lexie. I will come to the hospital to pick you up after I get off work in the afternoon.”Jocelyn shook her head. “No need, President Moore, I'm not going back at night. I plan to stay in the hospital bed because I don’t want to leave Lexie alone.”All she wanted to do recently was keep her distance from Skyler as much as possible so that their relationship would cool down.Skyler's brows twitched slightly, and he was holding his phone a little tighter.If it were not for Jocelyn's bad mood due to Lexie's accident today, he would have smashed his phone.Besides Jocelyn, who would dare to behave like that toward him?After all, Skyler was a blessed man of good fortune. He had never been given the cold shoulder and he was never treated so lukewarmly like he was nothing.He also started to get angry and replied coldly, “Whatever.”After Skyler finished speaking, he hung up
Skyler's eyes darkened. “I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this. I won't let her have a chance to take action.”Jim breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not stop himself from complaining, “I'm a hard worker. I don't take a penny from you, and yet I have to worry about you like I’m your mother.”Skyler looked at Jim, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He felt slightly better after receiving the cold reception from Jocelyn.He thought of what Jocelyn said about accompanying Lexie at night. Then, he looked at Jim with a faint expression. “Aren't you going to take this opportunity to do something to show Lexie that you’ll be around?”Jim's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. “What do you mean by that? I am just taking care of a patient, okay?”Skyler curled his lips disapprovingly. “Really? Are you only going to take care of her during the daytime?”Jim finally sensed what was wrong with Skyler's words. He frowned and looked at Skyler. “Tell me, what are you thi
After hearing Skyler's cold and slightly angry words, Jim's eyebrows twitched and he thought to himself, ‘This is bad.’Sure enough, Jocelyn raised her head sharply, and disbelief flashed in her eyes. She looked at Skyler indifferently, the corners of her mouth pursing tightly and she had an expression that looked as if she was going to fight Skyler head-on.Jim shook his head, not daring to watch what would happen.Jocelyn asked in a cold voice, “May I ask what your relationship with me is, President Moore?”Skyler was taken aback. He was silent for a moment before saying bluntly, “We’re husband and wife.”Jocelyn sneered. “Husband and wife who signed a one-year marriage agreement that appears united on the outside but be troubled underneath and cannot have any feelings toward each other?”Skyler's face was tense, and his expression was unpleasant. “Jocelyn, can’t we talk about this in private?”Did she have to tell these things in front of Lexie and Jim?Jocelyn glanced at Sk
Jocelyn did not expect that Skyler would not be mad at her even when she spoke so indifferently.At this moment, she could not tell what she was feeling in her heart.She looked at Skyler and asked, “Why? You want to help me?”Skyler's expression was vague, and he parted his thin lips slightly. “As long as you ask for it.”Jocelyn made up her mind and shook her head. She said, “No need, I'll figure it out myself.”Skyler's hands instantly clenched into fists, and they were clenched tightly.He tried to control his emotions. His eyes darkened and he looked at Jocelyn without speaking.Jocelyn pressed her lips together. “That settles it. President Moore, you should go back to work, I'll go upstairs.”After Jocelyn said that, she left.As Skyler watched her leave without any reluctance, he stood there like a stone statue, motionless.He was too complacent. He thought that there would be no problems with this contracted marriage in just one year.Unexpectedly, in just two months, he lost t
Chapter 301Lexie interrupted him, "Jim, I take you as a friend."There was a glint of disappointment in Jim's eyes. He then laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? I mean that ever since we stayed in the same hospital, I've taken you as a friend!"Jim teasingly looked at Lexie and curved his lips. "Did you think that I would say that I like you?"Some people preferred to say the sincerest words in a teasing tone, which made people unable to take their words seriously.Lexie pursed her lips without speaking.Jim cleared his throat and said with a smile, "I did not expect someone to be more thick-skinned than me. How can you, a young woman, be so narcissistic?"Lexie was annoyed. Her face turned cold. "Get out!"Jim pursed his lips. "Alright, I'm going to have my wound bandaged. I know you are worried. Do not try to hide it from me!"Lexie ignored him.When Jocelyn returned to the door of the ward, she saw Jim and Lexie chatting and smiling.Jim's finger was wrapped w
Chapter 302He calmly said, "Jim said that he would take care of Lexie at night, so I came to take you home."When Jocelyn heard the word "home", her heart trembled slightly.Since Skyler had come over to pick her up, even though she wanted to keep her distance from him, she wouldn't embarrass him in this situation.She nodded, got up, and left with Skyler.At the same time, the Vintage Bar.The bar was not busy at this hour. A few people were drinking together, and the dance floor was empty.Davis sat alone in the corner.He closed his eyes and took a sip of wine, uncontrollably thinking of Lexie's sad face.She said she had liked him for six years.She said that he was blind and that she gave up because she was too tired.Davis had long known that he cared a lot about Lexie.However, he never thought about his feelings for her.After Yuni had sex with him, he chose to be with her even though he was reluctant.This morning, Jocelyn sent him a recording of a conversation.
