Skylar didn’t want Janine to worry, so she said, “Nothing happened. Don’t worry, Mom.”

Janine didn’t press on because Skylar didn’t want to discuss it now. She would wait for Skylar to open up when the latter was ready.
Besides, she planned to shower Skylar with double the love since the Williamses hadn’t cherished her.
Skylar went into the elevator after finishing her meal with Janine. She was about to leave the hotel when she bumped into Joe in the elevator.
Joe had one hand in his pocket, and he exuded an overbearing air that deterred others from daring to get close to him. He only glanced at Skylar when she entered the elevator.
Apart from Paul, a few of the hotel’s senior management staff were also in the elevator. They were giving work reports to Joe.
Skylar pretended not to know Joe, as per their agreement. Likewise, Paul could only act like he and Skylar were strangers.
The elevator soon reached the first floor.
Skylar stepped out, then hurried out of the hotel. She had just made it to the hotel’s entrance when she received a text from Joe. It read, “Wait for me. I’ll be out in a few minutes.”
As Skylar read that message, she couldn’t help wondering if Joe wanted to talk about her argument with Sadie and Maisy.
Skylar was deep in thought as she read the message.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist with great force and pulled her into a hug as if it were out of habit. The person who’d enveloped Skylar in a hug was one she’d once reljed on.
“I’ve finally found you, babe! I’ve been reflecting on myself these past few days. We’ve been so busy working on each other’s matters since arriving in Jipsburg that I’ve neglected you. It’s my fault. I realize
that now.
“Besides, you know how much I adore you. I’ve only had eyes for you since high school. I’ll only want to marry you in this lifetime.
“Please don’t be mad at me, okay, babe? You don’t have to donate blood if you don’t want to. Nobody here is more important than you, and I’ll do whatever you ask me to from now on. Babe…
Christopher was about to kiss Skylar after saying that
At that moment, not too far away from them, Joe walked out of the hotel and saw the couple hugging. Paul’s eyes widened as he muttered, “Wait is Ms. Sullivan…”

He wondered if Skylar hadn’t broken up with Christopher.
In truth, he had hired a private investigator to look into Christopher, and they claimed to have found some
dirt. So, the scene in front of him left him baffled.
Paul felt like the situation made it seem like Skylar was cheating on Joe..
Joe’s eyes narrowed to slits. There was even a vicious gleam in his eyes.
He turned to re–enter the hotel and gave Paul, who stood behind him, an order. “Bring the marriage agreement that Skylar and I signed over here.”
“What?” Paul uttered while thinking if that meant Joe would end the agreement in advance.
Skylar’s body tensed a lot. It even tremored slightly, causing her to be unable to react right away.
When she did, Christopher’s lips were already close to her face. She paled and used all her strength to shove him.
That caught Christopher off guard; he’d never imagined that she would be cruel enough to push him away.
Whenever he’d hugged her and apologized in the past, she had always forgiven him, no matter how angry she’d been. It was his foolproof method.
So, his eyes snapped wide open in confusion at Skylar, whose gaze turned frosty. Her once clear and innocent gaze was now filled with hatred. “Babe…”
Skylar had thought that she could calmly face Christopher. Alas, it turned out that she couldn’t control her hatred upon seeing the man who’d betrayed and hurt her the most.
