Chapter 394However, Skyler came alone.When Skyler came in, Jim had even stared behind Skyler.Yet Skyler came over and sat on a sofa with no one else behind him.Jim's face changed. He strode over to Skyler and whispered, "Where is she?"Skyler scowled and asked knowingly, "Who do you mean?"Jim elbowed him. "Jocelyn, of course!"Skyler's voice got even colder. "I don't care where she is."Jim looked at him incredulously. "You told me this morning that you had told her about your birthday. She stood you up?"Jim knew Skyler well. Skyler minded being stood up, so Jim was a little worried about Skyler and Jocelyn.Yet Skyler gave him a cool look. "Who told you I was stood up?"Jim frowned. "If not, what else could it be?"Skyler's eyes darkened, and his expression was somewhat unreadable. "I just asked her if she was free today. I was going to bring her to the party, but she had arranged to have dinner with Abel today!"Jim froze. "So you didn't say anything else?"A hint
Chapter 395At Serene Court.After the dishes were served, Abel put the plates in front of Jocelyn as if she had suffered from hunger.Seeing Jocelyn eat seriously, Abel couldn't help but curve his lips while staring at Jocelyn.Jocelyn glanced up and saw that Abel was smiling playfully in the light, and with a purple diamond on his ear, he looked quite dashing.She ate and raised her eyebrows. "Why don't you eat? What are you staring at me for?"Abel smiled and said, "Jocelyn, do you think I'm handsome?"Abel seemed to be casual, but he was a little nervous.He had just been attracted to Jocelyn at first.But after Jocelyn saved him, he fell in love with her.Although he rarely cared about anything, he took his feelings for Jocelyn very seriously.Jocelyn felt a little uncomfortable under Abel's gaze. She could not help but glare at him. "Don't peacock in front of me!"Abel seemed a little aggrieved. "Jocelyn, you scolded me!"Jocelyn gave him a cool look. "Did I?""You
Chapter 396Jocelyn was so sad. She must like Skyler very much.Even so, Abel could not let Skyler have a chance.Abel liked Jocelyn, and he was skeptical of Skyler's character.Abel looked straight at Jocelyn, put away his phone, and continued, "Jocelyn, I know Skyler likes you, so he is my rival!"Jocelyn closed her eyes. Her mind was occupied by the picture of Ilona and Skyler.She felt that she was a bit emotional now, as she was guessing from the picture, not like her usual self at all.She should believe that there was nothing between Skyler and Ilona. He had explained it before.Yet thinking about Skyler's attitude today made her a little unsure.She shook her head sadly and confusedly. "You're wrong. He doesn't like me!"If he liked her, he wouldn't have asked her not to have feelings for him, and he wouldn't have denied it without thinking when she asked if he liked her.Abel took a deep breath with his hands clenched, his expression a little nervous.He gazed at J
Chapter 397Jim was relieved, looking at Skyler, who had been sitting on the sofa like a statue. "My goodness! Jocelyn, you finally saw my post."Jocelyn's voice was apologetic. "Sorry, I just knew it was Skyler's birthday today.""Skyler hates being stood up. If you don't come over, he'll be mad." Jim peeked at Skyler while leaning against the window, talking to Jocelyn on the phone.Jocelyn nodded. "I'm so sorry. I'll be right there and try to make it before midnight!"Jim nodded. "Okay, I'll send you the location!"Jim hung up the phone. Just as he walked over to Skyler, Skyler looked up at him. "Who are you talking to on the phone?"Jim smiled awkwardly. "Just a client!"Skyler looked at him sullenly. "Jocelyn is your client?"Jim looked at him in shock. "How do you know it was Jocelyn?"Skyler grunted coldly. "You've admitted it!"Skyler felt Jim strange when seeing Jim looking at him nervously, so Skyler made a guess.He had not expected that it would indeed be Jocely
Chapter 398The seconds ticked by.Thinking that Jocelyn was coming over, Skyler wanted to take the chance to introduce Jocelyn to Walter.However, before Jocelyn could arrive, Walter and Snow came over.Walter said, "Skyler, we've eaten the cake, and your birthday is almost over. We have work tomorrow, so Snow and I are leaving."Skyler looked at the clock. It was already eleven o'clock.When he thought that Jocelyn had not come yet, his handsome face darkened, and his voice turned cold. "Then you guys can go now."He did not want to tell Walter that the person he liked had just known it was his birthday today and was hurrying here.Walter, who noticed that his brother was strange, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "What's up? Today is your birthday, but you are not happy."Skyler's voice was icy, without a trace of emotion. "My birthday comes every year. Is it necessary to be that happy?"Walter knew Skyler's character. Skyler was always cold. Walter resignedly shook hi
Chapter 399Ilona curved her lips and gave Jocelyn a provocative look. Just as Ilona was about to lean on Skyler's shoulder, Jocelyn froze.Before Ilona could rest her head on Skyler's shoulder, Skyler suddenly moved his shoulder and got up.Ilona lost her balance, and she did not expect Skyler to do that, so she fell onto the sofa.Jim was stunned, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter.Jocelyn was originally a little sad, but now she was surprised and amused.Ilona got up from the sofa in a mess, glaring at Skyler's back. Ilona's delicate face distorted.She was so angry.Skyler ignored Ilona. He looked at Jocelyn and directly walked toward her.Seeing Skyler approaching, Jim couldn't help but curve his lips. "I've got the person for you, and I can leave now!"Skyler looked at him askance, his voice cold. "You can get lost!"The corners of Jim's mouth twitched in annoyance. "You chase me away after getting what you want. You're so heartless!""I don't know what you
Chapter 400Jocelyn shook her head with a wry smile. "I didn't!"Skyler scowled. "That means you're planning to give me a bag of noodles and vegetables as a birthday present."Jocelyn listened to his odd idea and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I won't just give them to you. I just think that I can make noodles for you on your birthday. I think you have already eaten the cake. So I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles for you. I knew there was a kitchen here. But I guessed there were no vegetables and noodles here, so when I came over, I bought them."Hearing Jocelyn's explanation, Skyler instantly felt comforted.He finally said, "You're not that heartless. I'll take you to the kitchen."Jocelyn nodded with a smile and followed Skyler to the kitchen.There were indeed no ingredients to make noodles in the kitchen, but fortunately, Jocelyn had bought noodles, vegetables, and eggs.After walking into the kitchen, she turned on the burner to make noodles.Skyler felt that the crow
Chapter 401Then Skyler stretched out his hand to take the phone charm in Jocelyn’s hand.When their hands touched, Jocelyn’s hand trembled suddenly.After getting the charm, Skyler immediately hung it on his phone.He even waved his phone to show off in front of Jocelyn. "It looks great, right?"Looking at his flamboyant gesture, Jocelyn couldn't help raising her lips. "Yes!"She had been afraid that Skyler would not like it!Jocelyn finished making the noodles within ten minutes, and it was only half past eleven.Looking at the time, she put the noodles on the table and said, "Have a try. There is still half an hour before midnight, so my present for you comes in time!"When Skyler heard it, he cast a glance at her. Then he sat on the high stool and began to eat the noodles.Jocelyn felt a little surprised. "Don't you go outside to eat them?"Shaking his head, Skyler answered, "No. As there are many people outside, it's too noisy!"He just wanted to stay with Jocelyn in t
