Chapter 68


    Joe watched the video.


    I


    In the footage, Skr and the man seemed incredibly at ease with each other, even more so than


    the


    photos suggested.


    Frowning, Joe replied, “Seems like you have a lot of free time.”


    Reading Joe’s reply, Paul felt his heart sink to his stomach. He had the urge to reply that he wasn’t


    free at


    He realized that Joe probably didn’t like Skr. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so indifferent.


    Suddenly, he felt like he was about to be sent to the frontier. He vowed never to probe Joe again.


    But was Skr also not too concerned about whether Joe had feelings for her?


    Joe loosened his tie forcefully, causing one of his shirt buttons to fall to the ground.


    He nced at the fallen button before picking it up. The finely crafted button shimmered under the


    light in


    his palm.


    As he fiddled with it, he checked his watch. It was 8:10 pm.


    His eyes, already devoid of much emotion, grew even colder.


    After leaving the restaurant, Skr was about to part ways with Steven.


    Just as she said goodbye, Steven got straight into her car. “I’ll see you off at your home first, then I’ll


    head


    back to my dorm.”


    “It’s almost 8:00 pm. Let me drop you off first, Skr said as she was about to start her car.


    Steven’s expression darkened. He looked at Skr seriously. “I’ve spent the most time with you


    since we


    were kids. I can tell when something’s bothering you, Skye. Did something happen?”


    Today, it was just the two of them. Steven could tell if Skr had something on her mind.


    These days, Skr seemed to have be a different person. The sadness and loneliness she


    emanated suffocated him. It was the kind of suffocation he would feel when he found out that his


    dear


    little sister was bullied behind his back.


    Skr knew Steven was worried about her.


    Gripping the steering wheel, she wanted to tell him about her wedding, but then she remembered


    her covert marriage agreement with Joe.


    After a few minutes of hesitation, she said, “I got married.”


    “Married?” Steven was shocked.

    He knew that Skr had just broken up with Christopher, so how did she end up marrying someone


    so quickly?


    He wondered what Skr had been through during this time.


    wasn’t usually so impulsive.


    “With whom? How old is he, and what does he do? How did you two meet?”


    He bombarded Skr with questions. He worried that she might have been hurt by Christopher and


    ended up being deceived by some untrustworthy guy in her vulnerability.


    Skr answered earnestly, “It’s someone Grandma Gloria introduced to me. We got together after


    careful


    consideration, but I can’t bring him to meet you guys.


    “He has a stable job, and he’s five years older than me. Although it was a sh wedding, he treats


    me


    quite well.”


    “So you married him before falling for him? Skye, have you been reading too many novels? Are you


    so confident that you’ll fall for him?” Steven’s face turnedpletely dark.


    He really wanted to meet this man and find out what kind of spell he had cast on Skr to make her


    rush into marriage like this.


    “I haven’t thought about that. Novels are just novels, and I’m not the female lead. We’re just… living


    together, nothing more. Don’t worry, Steven. I’ve experienced more than enough. I know what I’m


    doing.” After Skr finished speaking, she started the car.
