Chapter 227
Caleb started to look down on himself. He nced at his phone. Skr hadn’t contacted him for
many days. She had forgotten about him so soon!
Maisy reluctantly transferred the money to Christopher.
One million dors!
She wasn’t someone who upheld the idea of saving money, so she didn’t have much savings.
When Peter had asked her for money, she had told him that she didn’t have any. But now, she had
to give it all to Christopher.
The moment she transferred the money, she called him. “I’ve transferred the money to you. You
should have received it by now. Delete those videos immediately, and tell me who gave them to
you!”
Once Christopher received the money, his eyes gleamed. “I took those videos. I was there from the
start. Maisy, I did fall for you in college, but you’ll never be able topare to Skr.”
“You!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll delete It disgusts me to eveny eyes on them.”
After hanging up, Christopher gazed at his phone wallpaper. It was a photo of him and Skr.
He really missed her. He had a feeling that he would never find true love again after losing her. No
one
would love him like she had done.
He found those videos. Just as he was about to delete them, a thought struck him.
Maisy had many tricks up her sleeve, and there was no telling what she might do in the future. So,
he’d better keep these videos as a stick to beat her with!
Skr continued working until noon. She only realized it was lunchtime because her stomach was
rumbling.
She had just left her working area when someone stood in her way. It wasn’t one of her colleagues
but
rather a stranger.
“Ms. Sullivan, I’m Alexander’s son and also Caleb’s uncle, John Gardner. Can we talk?” John
asked politely.
He was worried he would frighten her with his solemn face. Joe would get back at him if that
happened.
Skr was stunned. Caleb’s uncle? Did that mean Caleb was Alexander’s grandson?
“Sure,” she agreed.
“Let’s talk over lunch. Don’t worry, I’m friends with Mr. Martin, and I know about your rtionship,

“Alright.” Skr was surprised. Had Joe already told his friends about their rtionship?
John took her to the restaurant across the road. There was a crowd there since it was lunchtime.
It was a Wiscadian restaurant. Skr wasn’t a fan of Wiscadian cuisine. It could never satiate her,
and she often got tired of it.
After she’d had some food, John said, “Caleb probably didn’t tell you that he was rted to us. He
had recently started working part–time in an antique shop. From a young age, he’s always disliked
being
restricted.”
Skr nodded. “Is anything the matter with him?”
She was shocked to find out that Caleb was Alexander’s grandson.
Then again, it made sense. If Caleb had been from a poor family, he wouldn’t have known multiple
languages and wouldn’t have been able to interact confidently with others.
He wouldn’t have had the freedom to pursue whatever he liked, either. His motorcycle was surely
the real thing and not a fake, like he had imed.
“Caleb likes you,” John said straightforwardly.
Skr
shocked. “He likes me? You must have misunderstood, Mr. Gardner. He sees me as an elder sister
and a friend. I’m a few years older than him, he’s like a brother to me. Besides, you know I’m
married.”
“But Caleb doesn’t know that. Societal norms don’t bother him. Even if you were ten or 20 years
older than him, that wouldn’t stop him from liking you
“After he was discharged from the hospital, he desperately started learning various things. He
nearly broke down from the stress.
“His parents aren’t in the country, so I have to look out for him. Can I please ask for your help?
Could you talk to him and tell him that you’re married?” asked John.
“Are you sure there is no misunderstanding here? Have you rified this with Caleb?” Skr still
found it hard to believe.
