Chapter 221


    Skr continued going through the orders she had received. However, there were too many of


    them. While waiting for that buyer to reply, she fell asleep on the bed.


    It was already morning when she woke up.


    As she went downstairs, she bumped into Joe, who was just back from his morning jog. She


    naturally greeted him. “Good morning.


    “Good morning.” Joe wiped the sweat on his brow with a towel.


    Skr watched as sweat dripped off his chin, and her expression stiffened.


    What had happened yesterday was an ident, nothing more!


    Afterposing herself, Skr looked at the spread of food on the dining table–a hearty breakfast


    had


    been served.


    “I’m going up to take a shower. If you’re hungry, go ahead and have some breakfast,” said Joe.


    Nodding. Skr saved the pleasantries and sat at the table. Then, she chose whatever food she


    preferred


    from the variety that had been served.


    Joe was quick. He came downstairs after ten minutes. Seeing that Skr was leisurely enjoying

    breakfast, he also sat at the table.


    As though there was a tacit understanding between them, they both put aside what had happened


    last


    night.


    After breakfast, they went back to the city. Joe dropped Skr off at her office first.


    Skr got out of the car. After Joe’s car passed the traffic light, she withdrew her gaze. She had


    taken the


    day off yesterday, so she had to push harder today.


    With long strides, she headed toward the office building.


    Just as she was about to reach the entrance, she spotted a middle–aged couple before it.


    At this hour, everyone was heading to work. When Skr’s colleagues noticed the neatly dressed


    couple


    d in branded attire, they felt curious.


    Wasn’t it too early for customers to be here? But the couple didn’t seem to be here for their service,


    seeing how they hade empty–handed. Could they be waiting for someone?


    When the couple noticed Skr, they immediately walked toward her.


    At that moment, Skr’s colleagues got their answer–that couple was indeed here for someone,


    and it was Skr!


    Skr nced at her watch. She had ten minutes left.


    “Skye, you’re finally here. Why haven’t you been answering your phone? Your dad and I have been


    womed


    about you.


    “We didn’t make ourselves clear that day, and you must’ve taken what we said the wrong way.”


    Sadie approached Skr and tried to hold her hands without consent.


    She was unusually polite. Skr had never seen her like this.


    Skr took note of their deliberate smiles. Perhaps their smiles seemed fake now because she had


    decided to stop caring about this insincere couple.


    Jeffrey said, “We didn’tmunicate our thoughts well that day, which must be why you


    misunderstood


    1. US.


    “You’re our biological daughter, and we finally found you after so much hard work. We can’t let


    someone else disgrace you, can we?


    “We were just too concerned about you. We were worried that you’d be deceived.”


    He didn’t seem to be in good shape, probably because he hadn’t slept well for many days.


    Everything he had worked so hard to build was on the verge of crumbling. Because of that, he


    looked haggard.


    Sadie sensed Skr’s aloof attitude and felt uneasy. Not too long ago, Skr had been nice to


    Sadie and tried hard to please her. But now, she seemed very distant.


    “Kenny and the others approached me the other day, and now it’s you. Are you going to keep
