Chapter 155


    “Grandma usually prefers jewelry over wellness products for her birthday. She likes all kinds of jewelry. Go ahead and pick something out,” Joe said to Skr.


    “Okay, I’ll have a look.” Skr nodded.


    She had some knowledge of jewelry and was keenly aware of the difference between genuine and fake pieces. She knew Joe had brought her somewhere expensive.


    Skr thought about the millions she earned from her recent gamble. Surely, it would be enough.


    After browsing for a while, Skr set her eyes on a ne. It was an emerald gemstone ne. Gloria probably had many gemstone nes, but Skr was drawn to its design. The simple design symbolized eternity.


    She checked the price–400,000 dors. Thankfully, it wouldn’t max out her card.


    “I’ll take this one,” Skr said to Joe, picking up the ne.


    Joe had been following Skr closely, watching her carefully select the gift. There was an undeniable beauty in her attentiveness, a quality she might not have even noticed herself.


    Joe <b>had </b>no objections. “Okay.”


    Skr had a good eye. It was a design Gloria would like.


    Skr handed her card to the sales assistant.


    “We’re gifting this to Grandma together. I’ll pay,” Joe intervened, giving the sales assistant a look.


    The sales assistant recognized Joe and immediately epted his ck card. Skr didn’t even have the


    chance to object.


    “Let’s split the cost. Give me your bank number.” Skr opened her banking app on the phone and intended to transfer her share.


    Joe noticed her insistence on splitting the payment. He furrowed his brow slightly and said, “No need.”


    Seeing Joe’s annoyance, Skr didn’t insist any further. However, as they were leaving the mall, Skr entered another store <b>and </b>bought a set of women’s clothing for Gloria.


    Gloria had always maintained a good figure, so choosing the size was easy.


    Joe slightly pursed his lips upon seeing Skr buy the clothes.


    “Just now, when we were heading upstairs, I saw this outfit and thought it would look good on Grandma,” Skr <b>exined</b>.


    Joe chuckled at the mention of “look good“.


    He quipped, “You’re just trying not to take advantage of me, aren’t you?”

    “No, that’s not it. You put thought into your gift; I want to do the same. I genuinely want to show respect <b>to </b>Grandma.”


    Why else would she have married him?Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Skr kept that sentence to herself.


    “You care about Grandma more than me,” Joe remarked. However, he felt slightly ufortable after saying it, realizing his words could be easily misunderstood.


    Skr was momentarily surprised but quicklyposed herself. “We’re married because of Grandma,


    aren’t we?”


    If it weren’t for Gloria, Joe wouldn’t have abandoned his true love to marry Skr, <b>right</b>?


    Joe raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything. When they reached the parking lot, Paul appeared.


    “You can hand me your car keys, Ms. Sullivan. I’ll drive it back to Gxy Vi,” said Paul.


    Joe added, “Let’s take the same car to Pearlhall Residence.


    Skr had no objections. They had already agreed to act like a loving couple in front of Gloria. She then gave her car keys to Paul and said, “Sorry to trouble you, Paul.”


    “Don’t mention it, Ms.Sullivan. It’s no trouble at all.” Paul took the keys and drove Skr’s car away.


    Meanwhile, Skr and Joe got into Joe’s car. The driver drove smoothly. However, there was heavy traffic due to the rush hour.


    Joe had hisptop on hisp, attending to work matters.


    Skr opened Amazon on her phone. There were more customers today. She meticulously distinguished genuine products from fakes for them. She received a WhatsApp message from Annie as she carefully inspected the images.
