Chapter <b>990 </b>


    1/2


    Aiken and Simona stopped their conversation. Then, together with Skr, they set off from the vi.


    In the car, Simona and Skr chatted endlessly about everything from Fachington to the new school and skincare.


    Girls always had plenty to talk about when it came to these topics.


    Usually, Aiken would get a headache listening to women talk about such things. But today, for some reason, he found it oddlyforting.


    At one point, Simona pulled out a few photos to show Skr, likely of some jewelry.


    Skr, being knowledgeable about the subject, exined everything in detail, which also piqued Aiken’s interest.


    Before they knew it, they arrived at a museum–one of thergest in Fachington, resembling a pce. Skr had been in the country for a few days but hadn’t had the chance to visit yet. It was on her itinerary, but she didn’t expect she woulde with Aiken and Simona.


    After getting out of the car; they went straight inside.


    There weren’t many visitors. So, Skr put her phone on silent and quietly enjoyed the exhibits.


    Aiken followed behind the two women. He had been to this museum a few times before, so it no longer appealed to him.


    Three hourster, they left the museum.


    Skr turned her phone back on and checked it for calls or messages. There was nothing.


    Just as she was about to put her phone away, Natalie sent a message saying she had caught a cold and was now resting at the hotel, feeling weak. So she couldn’t meet up with Skrter in the day.


    This made Skr frown. Natalie had just been to the hospital for stomach pains, and now she was down with a cold.


    “Skr, Aiken and I were just discussing whether we should grab lunch now and continue with our trip after that. What do you think?” Simona asked Skr.


    Aiken also looked at Skr and waited for her response.


    Feeling a bit apologetic, Skr said, “A friend of mine has suddenly fallen ill and is alone at the hotel. I’m a bit worried, so I can’t join you for the rest of the day. I’m really sorry.”


    Simona was disappointed. “It’s okay. We’ll just hang out another time.”


    “I’ll have the driver take you,” Aiken offered, hiding his own disappointment well. He didn’t show any signs to Skr or Simona.


    Skr declined. “I’ll just catch a cab. Her hotel isn’t far from here.”


    <i>“</i>Okay, be safe.”


    After Skr left, Simona nced at Aiken and noticed his serious expression. “Why do I feel like you’re more disappointed than I am?”


    “Nonsense. Have you decided what to have for lunch?” Aiken asked, keeping a straight face.


    Simona smirked and replied in a seemingly uninterested tone, “Whatever. I saw a few restaurants on the

    way here. Let’s just grab something simple.”


    Without Skr around, Simona felt incredibly bored hanging out with Aiken. She suddenly regretteding to Fachington with him. It was nowhere near as fun being in their home country.


    Aiken agreed with his sister. “Sounds good.” N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.

    The siblings went to one of the restaurants they had passed earlier and casually ordered some steaks for lunch.


    Skr arrived at Natalie’s hotel soon after.
