Annie’s eyes brimmed with tears. Her heart throbbed painfully. She asked, “Can you give me a chance to speak to Skr? After all, I’ll be her future sister–inw
“Skr’s future sister–inw drugged me. Yet, she’s my wife. Do you think she’ll forgive you?” asked Joe mockingly.
The words “my wife” reeked with possessiveness.
Annie was shocked. For a second, she felt like Joe adored Skr. If not, he wouldn’t have been so protective and possessive over her. In addition, Skr wasn’t someone to be messed with.
“Seeing as we’ve known each other for so long, can you pretend likest night didn’t happen? The Silvers have made a mistake. I havemitted a grave crime. Forgive us this time<b>. </b>Just this once.”
A chill ran down Annie’s back when she thought of the Williamses‘ demise. None of the Silvers would be able to ept a fall from grace.
Her heart.pounded nervously as she waited for Joe to relent and agree to let them go. However<b>, </b>Joe hung up on her mercilessly. Theck of an answer was an answer in itself.
“Why was Joe the one who picked up?” Sabrina held her breath in silence. She only dared to speak when he hung up.
The two women hid in their bedroom. Grayson and several other Silvers were discussing what to do next. It was the first time Sabrina had encountered such a messy situation since marrying into the Silver family. “It’s not a difficult guess. After we left, he called Skr over. They’re together right now,” said Annie. Her face was entirely pale.
Sabrina frowned and said, “I don’t understand how Skr seduced <i>Joe</i>. How did she im his affection? She looks like a maniptive fox.”
“Stop talking, Mom. Scolding them isn’t going to change anything,” Annie sighed deeply. Color hadpletely drained from her face.
Sabrina was scowling as sheined, “Almost two hours have passed. Why hasn’t Steven called you back?”
“He’s either busy or still asleep. He might’ve worked tootest night.” Skr knew Steven. Anyone might’ve kept their distance from her or suspected her, but Steven wouldn’t do that.
Annie felt nervous when she thought of Steven’s wholehearted trust in her.
If Steven had learned <i>of </ist night’s incident, would he have believed her exnation?
When Skr woke up, she found herself being held by Joe. She was locked in his embrace<b>; </b>his heart pounded against her ear.
“You’re up?”
Joe had just woken up. His voice was rather horse andzy<b>.</b>
Skr yawned, still exhausted. She replied, “I woke up <b>out </b>of hunger. She had no idea how long she’d slept for. Her soreness <b>had </b><b>subsided</b>. <b>Joe </b><b>asked</b><b>, </b>“I’m hungry <b>as </b>well. What <b>would </b><b>you </b>like <b>to </b><b>eat</b><b>?</b>”

“Let’s go for a fondue,” Skr answeredzily.
If hunger hadn’t woken her up, she would’ve slept till night fell.
However, she had something important to do after finishing her meal.
20 minutester, Skr walked out of the bathroom. She scolded Joe furiously, “<i>Joe</i>, go eat that fondue on your own! I don’t want to see you for the next two days!”
She had been disorientated when she’d woken up in the morning. Although she knew he’d <i>gone </i>at her fiercely, she only saw the full extent when she went to shower. Her lips were swollen. There were marks on her body that looked alright in the morning but became terrifying just then.
Her clothes couldn’t cover them. Skr wouldn’t be able to leave the house like that!Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Joe had changed into casual attire. He looked young and energetic. In contrast, Skr looked like a seductive little temptress who’d been gobbled up by him.
