Chapter 69


    Steven still looked grim. “Did that guy buy this car for you?”


    Skr was still so young. How could she just live with any random man?


    The thought of her possibly being heartbroken because of Christopher made Steven’s heart ache. He couldn’t suppress the urge to go and beat Christopher to a pulp.


    “I bought it myself. Our family’s life will improve from now on,” Skr said.


    Steven frowned. New energy vehicles like this probably cost over ten thousand dors. Skr had been doing restoration work recently and could indeed earn some money.


    “Are you living together with him<b>?</b>”


    “Yeah, at his ce,” Skr said as she looked ahead at the bustling traffic. Suddenly, she felt a weight lift


    off her chest.


    Steven fell silent and didn’t speak for 30 minutes.


    As they neared his staff dormitory, he finally spoke up. “Skye, find a chance for me to meet him.”


    “I’ll arrange for you to meet him after some time. But don’t tell Mom and Peter about my marriage yet.. They’ll definitely worry.”


    Skr’s eyes shed in hesitation. Let Joe meet Steven? He probably wouldn’t <b>agree </b>to meet her family.


    She knew her ce. Her rtionship with Joe was only bound by a paper agreement.


    When the car stopped, Steven sighed heavily. “Does he treat you well?”


    “Yeah, but he’s just a bit… aloof.” Skr chose her words carefully.


    “Being aloof might not always be a bad thing. It’s better than Christopher’s sweet talk,” Steven said, feeling slightly relieved.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    When he got out of the car, he was still worried. “Skye, tell me if anything happens.”


    “I will,” Skr obediently replied.


    Christopher scratched <b>his </b>already messed–up hair vigorously as he read the endless stream of rumors. online at his home. He almost crushed his phone in his hand.


    When he asked Maisy<b>, </b>she said they were trying to figure things out.


    He regretted it deeply. He shouldn’t have issued any statements. There were tens of thousands ofments cursing him under his post.


    Although the buzz had died down somewhat due to the Williams family’s suppression, <b>he </b><b>had </b>been fired from work.

    Suddenly, Amelia called. “Chris, is what they’re saying online true? Are you dating Malsy?”


    Christopher’s eyes were bloodshot. “Mom, w–we’re not really dating<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    “I remember you saying before that although Skr has returned to her biological family, they don’t seem to like her. They like Maisy instead, right?” Ame asked.


    “Yeah, what about it? I’m really frustrated right now. Can I talk to you tomorrow when I go to the hospital? Christopher scratched his head again.


    *Since Skr is so ungrateful and even exposed you online, why don’t you take this opportunity to really date Maisy? Try to get into the Williamses‘pany. By then, you’ll work for theirpany as their son–in-w. With your abilities, theirpany will even be yours eventually.


    Amelia had lofty expectations. In her eyes, no one couldpare to Christopher.


    There was suddenly a glimmer of hope in Christopher’s bloodshot eyes. “You reminded me…”


    Skr returned to Gxy Vi at 10:00 pm.


    The lights were still on inside. It seemed that Joe hade back earlier.


    She was about to go upstairs when she saw Joe sitting on the couch. He had a steaming cup of tea in his


    hand.


    A faint scent of herbs wafted into her nose.
