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.
Chapter 303Jocelyn couldn't help but frown. He pulled the seat belt, bent down, and took out the thing that had hit her heel from under her foot.When she saw what was in her hand, her expression changed.It was a lipstick, Chanel's latest matte lipstick.For a moment, Jocelyn was sunk in thought. This kind of thing could not belong to Skyler.This meant that another woman had sat in the passenger seat.Jocelyn had an indescribable feeling. She was upset and jealous.Skyler noticed Jocelyn's change in mood and couldn't help but give her a sideways glance. "What's wrong? Did you drop something?"Just now Jocelyn bent down to pick up something. After that, she looked strange.Jocelyn pursed her lips and looked at Skyler with a complicated expression. "You went back to your parents' home?"Skyler was stunned, not expecting Jocelyn to ask this.The good thing was that her tone and words were not as cold as in the day.He shook his head. "No. Why do you ask that? Do you want to
Chapter 304No matter who Skyler would be with, he wouldn't be with her.Jocelyn calmly bowed her head and ate dinner with Skyler.After dinner, Jocelyn stood up. Her voice was even colder than in the morning as she said, "I've finished. I'm going up and taking a shower."Jocelyn was about to leave.Hearing this, Skyler scowled, strode over, grabbed her arm, and stared at her with an obscure expression. "Jocelyn!"Jocelyn's eyes flashed. She looked down. "Anything wrong?"Skyler said through clenched teeth, "Did I offend you today?"Jocelyn looked serene. "Why did you say that?"Skyler was enraged by her words. "If I hadn't offended you, why would you have upset me today?"Jocelyn pursed her lips and glanced up at Skyler.Even though he was now angry, he was still devilishly handsome. It was hard for her to resist his charm.Jocelyn answered, "You think too much. I'm always like that."Skyler almost laughed in anger. "You're always like that? You're talking nonsense!"In
Chapter 305Walter's eyes flashed as he sat down beside Skyler on the sofa and said, "Since you have time to drink with me, why don't you go home and deal with Mom? She asks my opinions of the girls she has picked for you as soon as I go back home!"Skyler's face was sullen. "I already have a girlfriend."He had wanted to drink with Jim, but Jim was taking care of Lexie in the hospital.Skyler had no choice but to ask Walter to come over and drink with him, but unexpectedly, Walter urged Skyler to go on blind dates immediately after sitting down.Walter glanced at Skyler and said, "Then take her home and let Mom and Dad have a look. They are not satisfied with Josie, and you've broken up with her, so they can't wait to find you a new girlfriend."Skyler took a sip of wine, looking gloomy. "I want to find an opportunity to take her to you and then bring her home, but ... not now!"Walter raised his eyebrows, glanced at Skyler, picked up his glass, and shook it. "Why?"Skyler dra
Chapter 306Skyler could not understand why Walter, who had a fiancée, was in love with another woman.Skyler said with a frown. "Don't you have a fiancée? But you like someone else..."He thought for a while and continued, "Is it proper?"Skyler felt that this was not fair for Walter's fiancée and the woman Walter liked.Walter did not mind what Skyler said. He nodded. "No, but Snow knows that I do not like her and that I like another woman. We've made an agreement. I will call off the engagement with Snow when the woman I like accepts me."Skyler finally understood it.He noticed that Walter looked affectionate at the mention of that woman.Skyler was confused. "How long have you and that woman known each other?"Walter thought about it and replied, "About 7 years."Skyler was surprised. "So long?"Walter sighed softly with a reminiscent look. "Yes, it's been a long time..."Unexpectedly, after so long, Walter still couldn't be with the woman he liked. Skyler was curious.
