Chapter 226


    John asked, “Dad, when will Skr be done with her work?”


    Alexander checked the time. “She’ll only be finished by noon at the earliest.”


    Skr always devoted her full attention to her work. Besides, Frank needed that painting urgently.


    “That long?” John watched as Skr focused intensely on restoring the painting. She appeared so


    serious that he couldn’t stop himself from watching her.


    She was beautiful enough to be able to coast through life with her looks, yet she had chosen to put


    her skills to good use.


    A thought struck John, and he took a photo with his phone. Then, he said, “Dad, I have some time


    on my hands today. I’ll wait in the lounge.”


    “Sure,


    go ahead. I have work to do. Talk to Caleb if you’re free and advise him to get over her. Or you can


    try looking around for decentdies so he can get to know them.”


    Alexander was concerned about Caleb even though he pretended otherwise. John agreed to his


    suggestions.


    As Alexander left, John sent the photo he had taken to Joe. “No wonder you chose to marry Skr.


    I think I’ve found the reason.”


    Joe’s gaze was fixed on the photo for some time.


    Paul was still reporting to him about work–rted matters. He spoke so much that his mouth went


    dry. Then, he waited for Joe’s decision.


    There was a long pause, which Paul nervous. “Is there a problem? I’ll ask them to redo the


    proposal.”


    Joe looked up at him. “Repeat from the start.”


    “Oh, okay.” Paul thought that was odd. Still, he repeated what he just said. However, he was


    distracted.


    What had Joe seen on his phone? Why was he so concentrated on it?


    Ten minutester, Paul left the room.


    Joe unlocked his phone and gazed at Skr in her work mode once more. He texted John back,


    saying,


    Delete that photo. Keep your eyes to yourself.”


    Breaks were rare for John, so he was leisurely enjoying a cup of coffee in the lounge. He hadn’t


    expected


    Joe to reply to his message so fast.


    After reading the text, he almost spat out the coffee in his mouth. “I have a fiancée. I’m just


    admiring. nothing more.”


    Three secondster, Joe replied, “She’s not for you to admire.”


    John nced at the cup of coffee beside him. He was no longer interested in it. Instead, he


    immediately


    called Joe. “I thought you didn’t love her. Why are you so jealous?”


    Joe stood up and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window. “I’m not jealous.”


    2/2


    Sensing his indignance, John felt speechless. “Yeah, whatever. I deleted the photo. Joe, I’m


    thinking of asking Skr to talk to Caleb so he can get over her.”


    “Get Caleb to give up,” Joe replied in a low tone.


    Caleb was just a brat. How dared Caleb try to take his wife from him?


    Caleb was lying in bed with a book he was reading. It was a book for beginners. The tutor


    Alexander had hired had given it to him.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Caleb had been able to digest its contents when he had been younger. But now, he couldn’t


    understand a thing. He scratched his tousled hair.


    “It’s so tough!” He almost burst out crying.


    He thought about Skr, who was excellent at her job. Meanwhile, he had no achievements to his


    name. around All he knew was how to fool around with his friends. The only skill he had mastered


    was joking with others on live streams.
