Chapter 124


    1/2


    Joe was right on time to pick up Skr at 5:00 pm, Not long after, they arrived at Pearlhall Estate.


    Gloria was over the moon when she heard that Skr had joined Alexander’s team. “Skye, you’re


    incredible! You know that stubborn Alex never lets anyone push him around.


    “He always shuts them down if peoplee begging for favors or try to use connections to get into


    his team. But look at that, you made it on your own!


    “Joe, have you noticed how amazing your wife is?”


    Joe was sipping his water. He nced at Skr, whose cheeks were flushed with a shade of pink.


    “Yeah, she’s pretty amazing.”


    Skr was surprised by hispliment. He was actually going along with it today.


    Usually, he would’ve given a curt nod or ignored thement altogether before this.


    Love certainly made him softer.


    After dinner, they watched a reality show with Gloria, who eventually shooed them out. She insisted


    that they enjoy their evening alone back at Gxy Vi.


    Skr knew Gloria was trying to y matchmaker. She hoped that their


    ip would grow.


    She would’ve pretended to y along before this. However, now it just felt so wrong. She felt like


    she wasing between Joe and Annie.


    On the


    way back to Gxy Vi, Skr handed an earring to Joe. “Does this belong to Ms. Silver? I found


    it when we got out of the car earlier. I couldn’t give it to you in time,”


    Joe frowned when he saw the earring. “Just toss it. I don’t need it.”


    “Really? This belongs to Ms. Silver and it looks like it’s worth a lot. She might want it back.” Skr


    was taken aback by Joe’s attitude.


    “Do you know who Annie is?” Joe asked.


    “I saw her in your car the other day. She’s a well–known host. Lots of people know who she is,”


    Skr


    replied.


    Joe’s reaction was a bit cold. Since they were on the topic of Annie, Skr decided it was time to


    talk about the matter. “When are we getting divorced?”


    She thought Joe wouldn’t want someone he loved to be his mistress.


    Joe shot her a sharp look. “What did you say?”


    “When should we get a divorce?” Skr repeated herself.


    “Are you trying to end the contract earlier? What’s the reason?” Joe asked with a dark expression.

    Skr was taken aback by his tone. “I didn’t know you were in a rtionship with Ms. Silver. If I


    knew about it back then, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you.”


    Mistakes had been made. However, as long as the mistakes were stopped in time, that was all that


    mattered.


    “Annie and I…” Joe was about to exin when his phone rang.


    “Where are you? Give me ten minutes,” Joe said.


    He hung up and turned back to Skr. “We’ll talk about thister tonight. Don’t mention divorce


    anymore.”


    “Okay.” Skr knew this wasn’t the right time to push the topic.


    Joe was probably concerned about Gloria’s health and didn’t want to upset her with the news.


    The next morning, at Williams Residence, Jeffrey was making phone calls. It seemed like the calls


    were either unanswered or were brushed off. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
