Chapter 329Skyler fell into a trance. He planned to ask her not to go to his home tonight.Now that Jocelyn said so, he should be happy.However, he felt unhappy somehow.He looked at her and asked flatly, "What are you going to do?"She compressed her lips and said calmly, "I have an appointment with a senior of the university and will have dinner with him tonight, but I forgot that. He called to remind me just now. Only then did I remember it!"Skyler's face clouded over. "But you have promised me to go to my home and have dinner!"He didn't expect her to stand him up just because of a senior. 'Where is my place in her heart?''Last time, she had dinner with a so-called senior, and the senior even ordered a couple's set. Thus, I almost misunderstood her.' Skyler thought of that and became angrier.He forgot that the aim of getting into the car was to ask her not to go to his home tonight.Thus, it was unclear who stood whom up.She looked up at him. "But I have promised him first! H
Chapter 330Walter thought for a while and asked, "How are you recently?"Jocelyn felt that he was strange. She looked at him and asked, "What do you want to know?"He sighed resignedly and stared at her. "You're in a bad mood today. Have you argued with your boyfriend?"She felt surprised.Walter guessed right!But she compressed her lips and shook her head subconsciously. "It's not what you think!"His face clouded over. "I told you last time. If he is not able to take care of you, leave him and do not suffer these wrongs alone. He is an unfit boyfriend!"She frowned. "If you want to talk about that, I think that I shouldn't have come here today!"He froze and felt bitter. "Will you only choose him?"She compressed her lips. "I like him!"'I should have admitted it sooner. I like Skyler! Even if what happened to Lexie has influenced me, my feelings for him won't disappear.'Noticing that he was in a bad mood, she frowned and changed the topic. "By the way, when will Miss
Chapter 331Jocelyn's expression changed. She directly raised her voice and interrupted him, "Howard, that's enough! What do you want? I just had a meal with Walter. Don't think too much. Besides, it's none of your business. Stop speculating!"Howard stared at Jocelyn and finally calmed down. If Howard gossiped about Skyler behind his back, and Skyler knew that, this ruthless man would not let Howard go.Thinking of this, Howard changed his expression.Jocelyn grabbed Walter's arm and quickly went out.She did not want more people to know about her hidden marriage with Skyler. After all, their agreement would only last one year.She didn't want her life to change dramatically after the divorce.Howard looked at Jocelyn's back with a reluctant look.He admitted that he was a scum who had failed Jocelyn.He also admitted that he bullied the weak and feared the strong. He did not dare to compete with Skyler for Jocelyn.However, no one could change the fact that Howard liked Jocelyn all t
Chapter 332Moreover, Kaleigh was a distant relative of the Yates family, and her surname was also Yates, which made Kallena feel disgusted.But her husband said that their son might like who they disliked.That was why she agreed to arrange this blind date under the guise of a dinner.She was a bit hasty. As soon as her son broke up with Josie, she wanted to introduce another woman to him. The Yates family was not bad.Unexpectedly, her son had a new girlfriend so soon.She stared at Skyler. "Are you lying to me?"Skyler shook his head. "No!"Kallena finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her face suddenly softened.She smiled and turned to smile at Kaleigh. "Sorry, I didn't know that my son had a girlfriend. I've made a fool of myself. Just take it as an ordinary dinner, okay?"Since Kallena had apologized with a smile, Kaleigh couldn't continue to blame her. Besides, Kallena was Skyler's mother.Thus, even though Kaleigh was furious, she couldn't lose her temper.She suppres
Chapter 333Jocelyn immediately regretted what she had said.Why did she have to lie as if she had done something wrong?However, if she told the truth, Skyler might be angry.After all, Skyler was unhappy because she had gone to dinner with someone else today. If she said yes, he would think a lot.Hearing Jocelyn's reply, his tone softened but was still full of doubt. "Really?"Jocelyn thought, 'He went on a blind date. How could he have the nerve to ask me that?'She answered angrily and coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can investigate. You're so smart and resourceful. I'm sure it's easy for you!"Jocelyn lost her temper. Although it was not obvious, Skyler was stunned for a moment. "I just asked. Why are you so angry?"Jocelyn sarcastically curled her lips. "Then let me ask you. How was your dinner?"Skyler frowned when he heard Jocelyn's strange words. "What do you mean by that?"Jocelyn grunted. "Nothing. I'm hanging up."Jocelyn ended the call. Even though she w
Chapter 334It was only then that Skyler recognized that the man was Howard, Jocelyn's ex-boyfriend.Skyler's face darkened as he said coldly, "Keep your eyes on the road."After saying that, he was about to walk into the bar.However, Howard suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Moore, you and Jocelyn are not divorced, right?"Skyler's gaze suddenly went cold.He turned to look at Howard sullenly. "What do you mean by that?"Howard thought of Walter's punch and felt a little indignant.His eyes flashed. He gathered the courage with drunkenness and said, "I saw Jocelyn had dinner with someone tonight. Do you know who it was?"Skyler had turned around. He stared at Howard, looking frosty in the light at the bar entrance. "What the hell are you trying to say?"Howard was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Skyler again. "Remember not to play tricks on me. I know she went to dinner with one of her seniors at college. If you dare to slander her, I won't let you get away wit
Chapter 335Howard shook his head in a hurry. "No. I mean that she couldn't swim before that accident. Now she's learned to swim. After that accident, she overcame her fear of going into the water. Now she is a very good swimmer."Skyler stood there in silence with an obscure look.Howard continued, "As for what happened between Lily and me, I'm very regretful about it, but I cannot deny it. Anyway, I love Jocelyn wholeheartedly. Otherwise, I would not have chased her for so long or have been with her."Howard looked at Skyler gloomily. "But you know what? It still rankles with me that she has never liked me. Can you understand? She had been with me for two years, but I didn't even touch her finger. I don't know if she was keeping her virginity for that person or if she thought I wasn't worthy of her. Anyway, I cheated on her, but she was not innocent."Skyler looked at Howard with a complicated expression, holding back his unhappiness. "You don't have to tell me about your affai
Chapter 336Skyler scowled, slowly took out a cigarette, and lit it without saying anything.Jim drank too much. He usually gave Skyler advice, but he discouraged Skyler today.He said, "To be honest, you just can't accept that Jocelyn doesn't like you, so you want to do something to save face. After all, you are always chased by other women, but she is different, so you are naturally attracted to her. I don't think you like Jocelyn very much."Lexie ignored Jim, so Jim was frustrated and pessimistic.After saying that, he held the bottle and took a gulp of wine.Skyler looked icy and took a puff at his cigarette thoughtfully.Perhaps Jim's words were reasonable. Skyler had never suffered any setbacks before. Even though his family was wealthy, he hid his identity and started with nothing. During that period, he had met some difficult problems but had easily solved them.However, Jocelyn made him learn what failure felt like.In the past, he had never taken any women seriously
