Chapter 152


    “I’m wondering whether or not they’re the same person,” John said.


    John only had one nephew. He didn’t want to see him get fooled by a girl before he was even 20.


    There were too many greedy girls nowadays, and Caleb was still too young.


    Joe’s expression remained calm as he said, “It should be the same person. Your nephew isn’t that


    old yet, right? Is he of legal age?”


    “He’s turning 19, but kids these days mature early. He had a bunch of girls chasing him in high


    school.


    “I think Skr is about four or five years older than him. He said it’s a trend to find an older girl, and


    he’s willing to be her young hunk,” John said.


    He then asked, “Could you please tell me what your rtionship with Skr is?”


    Joe’s demeanor remained asposed as ever. “Tell your nephew not to have any ideas about


    her.”


    John raised an eyebrow. “Are you bedmates with her, or…”


    “Husband and wife.” Joe’s tone was casual.


    However, it was like dropping a bombshell to everyone else–a huge, huge bombshell.


    “Since when did you get married? Why don’t I know? Rowan and the others don’t seem to know,


    either. They all thought that both of you were in a situationship. But she’s actually your wife?” John


    lost his


    Still gobsmacked by the news, he was left in a daze.

    “It’s a covert marriage. Don’t let Rowan and the others know about it,” said Joe.


    John nodded. “Okay. Once that bbermouth finds out, the entire Jipsburg city might know. My


    nephew


    falls for a girl for the first time only to find out she’s yours.”


    Joe smiled and said, “He has good taste.”


    “My dad said that your wife’s impressive. She’s young but more capable than most people in the


    team,” John seemed to be getting the hang of referring to Skr as Joe’s wife.


    The phrase, “your wife“, was somewhat unfamiliar to Joe.


    Joe’s expression softened slightly as he said, “She’s good in that regard.”


    John rarely heard Joe praise anyone, especially women. “You really love her?” asked John.


    If Joe didn’t love Skr, he wouldn’t have married her.


    Their group all knew that Annie liked Joe. Now that Joe was secretly married, who knew how Annie


    would


    react once she found out?


    “Love? My marriage doesn’t require love. My grandmother just likes her very much.” Joe’s voice


    was low.


    He immediately resumed his stern demeanor.


    He married Skr only to put Gloria’s mind at ease. Apart from that, there was no love involved.


    John suddenly understood why Joe wanted to keep his marriage a secret. It was because Gloria


    had arranged them together.


    But did Joe really not like Skr?


    2/2


    Although he had never met her, Rowan described Skr before. And his description seemed to fit


    Joe’s ideal type.


    In the core


    Annie had already gotten a general idea from Maisy.


    Based on Maisy’s description, Skr was selfish and willing to sacrifice her dignity for money.


    Currently, she was even living off someone else’s dime.


    Maisy didn’t know who that someone was, though.


    However, Annie knew. She thought of how someone like Skr was supported by Joe and had her


    future.


    set for her.


    She rarely got worked up. But now, she felt a surge of difort.
