Chapter 697Snow had figured out that Rashad would not tell her father about her identity. She Snapped, "No, I can't! Leave me alone! Or I'll call the police!"Rashad frowned and stopped abruptly. He said to Snow's back, "I'll talk to Mom about this!"...In the evening, Skyler had intended to go to the hospital with Jocelyn to see Davis after work.However, when they got to the underground parking lot, Skyler received a call from Jim's assistant, Curley.Curley's voice was raspy and tired like he hadn't slept in days. "Mr. Moore, do you have a minute right now?"Skyler frowned, "What’s the matter?"Curley sighed, “Mr. Lang is getting better lately. Mr. Rand went to the hospital to visit Mr. Lang the other day, and after he came back, he locked himself in his room and didn't eat or drink anything. I tried to get him out of the room, but he wouldn't. You should know that Mr. Rand's parents never care about him. I am really worried about Mr. Rand. Please come and talk to him!"S
Chapter 698Jocelyn walked to the window and opened it to get some fresh air.She then turned to Jim, "Since you won't tell me, let me guess! You went to see Davis in the hospital and tried to apologize to him. You also wanted to use the opportunity to apologize to Lexie, but Lexie told you not to go to the hospital again. Am I right?"Jocelyn knew Lexie very well. After what had happened that day at the restaurant, Lexie must have been very angry with Jim. She definitely didn't want to see him.After Jocelyn finished her sentence, Jim asked, "Did Lexie tell you about it?"Jocelyn shook her head calmly, "No. But if you insisted on staying in bed, I'm going to call Lexie and ask her what's going on."Immediately, Jim sat up. He hadn't shaved in two days. "Don't call her!"Jocelyn said in a resolute tone, "Tell us what's going on or I'll ask Lexie. It’s your choice!"Jocelyn then walked up to Skyler and took his hand. She was going to take him to leave.Seeing Jocelyn and Skyler
Chapter 699Jim looked at Jocelyn, and his eyes flickered. "I'm afraid Skyler will hit me or won't let me talk to you if I don't take a shower and get changed!"Then Jim turned to Curley, "Go get some food for me!"Curley nodded and left. He knew Jim wasn't really hungry at the time, but it was just that Jim didn't want Curley to stay and hear their conversation.Curley went to get Jim some porridge. Jim hadn't eaten any food for two days. He needed some light food.Jocelyn sat quietly there, waiting for Jim to tell her the story.Sometimes people don't want to talk about their troubles. They don't want to talk about the things that upset them. But in fact, when one tries to speak his mind, he will be relieved. Sorrow can also be shared with friends.Jim was silent for a long time. Then he finally made up his mind and said, "Jocelyn, you're right, Lexie... She did tell me not to go to the hospital anymore, and she and Davis were very close. Due to his previous story with Yuni, h
Chapter 700Jim looked up when he heard Jocelyn's words, his eyes bloodshot, which showed he might have been up the whole night or he might have been too upset.Jim said, "Jocelyn, I know what you're saying. I'm not trying to kill myself. I'm just so upset. I feel my heart breaking. When Lexie looked at me, the look in her eyes was completely different from before. I used to tell Skyler that Lexie's eyes were always sparkling. But since Davis had the accident, the sparkle in her eyes had gone. I can't see any emotion in her eyes. I don't know what to do. I've never been so sad!"Jim felt relieved after telling Jocelyn what had happened. He could finally tell someone about his grief.Jocelyn's eyes twinkled. "I can understand you. When you really love someone, if you are turned down, it is heartbreaking! But you can't abandon yourself to sorrow. No matter if Lexie cares about you, at least Skyler worries about you. When he heard that you had been lying in bed for two days without ha
Chapter 701Jocelyn compressed her lips. "At that time, I liked Walter indeed. To be exact, I had a crush on him. Before my feelings for him deepened, Snow showed up suddenly and said that she was his fiancée. I was too stubborn and didn't like him enough."Thus, between love and face, I chose to keep my face and took Howard as an excuse to terminate the possibility of a relationship between Walter and me totally. When I met Walter again, I confirmed that I had let go of my feelings for him already. I just couldn't forget the family affection he gave me. You know that I have lacked family affection since I was a kid! I tend to rely on people who give me warmness!"Skyler's expression became complicated. "But no matter how you rely on someone, you won't allow yourself to only rely on them, right?"She kept silent and admitted it.He felt a little upset. With the relationship between Jocelyn and him, he thought that they were an ideal couple in the eyes of others.But he knew that
Chapter 702Jocelyn said in a low voice, "I have forgiven you. Also, I will change myself gradually. You can't doubt my love for you. Otherwise, I will be sad!"Skyler nodded nonstop and gently kissed her ear and cheek. "OK. I won't doubt you! And I won't ask you such a stupid question anymore!"They hugged and kissed each other for a while. She was unable to resist his gentleness all the time.Usually, he was cold and peremptory, so she was easily moved by him when he was gentle to her.Soon, she forgot the unpleasantness.Only then did he get the car started again and drive home.Suddenly, she thought of his attitude when he went to Jim's room in the afternoon. She asked curiously, "If I didn't persuade Jim to get up and have a talk with us, what would you do?"She thought that he would tell her what he would say to let Jim have a clear mind.However, as soon as Skyler started to talk, Jocelyn burst into laughter.He said, "Jim was dispirited. Even if I had a talk with him,
Chapter 703Jocelyn burst into laughter. "I'm not teasing you but praising you!"A gentle smile flashed through Skyler's eyes. "Now that you're so satisfied with me, call me honey as an award!"She fell silent immediately!He turned to look at her and saw her looking outside through the car window. Even her neck turned red.Seeing that she was so shy, he was in a good mood.At night, Caitlin went to see Rashad. He was playing games on the couch.Thinking of what she heard in the employer's home tonight, she walked over and pulled Rashad. "Sit up. I have something to tell you!"Rashad said impatiently, "I'm playing games! Don't pull me! Let's talk about it later!"Caitlin felt angry. "Don't spend all your time playing games! You won't get any benefits from it!"Rashad was furious. He sat up and glared at her. "Don't be so annoying!"Seeing that, she felt annoyed, but she didn't have the heart to be angry with him. After all, he was her son.She frowned and said, "It's about
Chapter 704Rashad snorted and kept silent.However, after a while, he took out his phone and texted Snow.In the hotel, when Snow saw Rashad's message, her hair prickled immediately.'What do Caitlin and Rashad want? They have investigated the news about the Sonnet family so clearly. They even have gotten to know that Marcel will hold a party for his daughter tomorrow night.'In the message, Rashad says that they will make a scene at the party tomorrow night if I refuse to save Rhode. He even says that they will have a way of sneaking into the party and that I'm not able to stop them.'Snow panicked. 'Marcel called me tonight and asked me to come home tomorrow morning. He said that he had found his daughter and would like to introduce her to me. Besides, he would hold a party for her tomorrow night.'I'm just his adopted daughter. I could say nothing but agree numbly.'Snow had been in a terrible mood already. However, Rashad and Caitlin threatened her in such a situation.Sh
