Chapter 273


    When Joe heard Skr’s reply, he looked down at his chest.


    The marks were all fromst night, courtesy of Skr. Not an inch was spared. The two of them had


    ended up leaving marks all over each other’s bodies by the end of the night.


    Afterying Skr on the bed, Joe went to open the wardrobe. He frowned when he saw only a few


    simple pieces of clothing inside.


    “What do you want to wear?” he asked, ncing back at Skr, who looked visibly exhausted on


    the bed.


    Skr was worn out from yesterday night. She yawned and pointed to a long ck. dress.


    “I’ll wear that long ck dress.”


    There was only one ck dress inside, so without having to choose, he took it out. He also grabbed


    her underwear and bra, cing them on the bed.


    “I’m going to change now,” he said.


    As soon as Joe left, Skr looked at the underwear and bra and covered her eyes helplessly.


    The image of Joe handling her underwear lingered in her mind, making it impossible. for her to think


    straight.


    Christopher stood in front of the Gardner Group. He watched peoplee and go


    from the towering building, imagining Skr working inside.


    The more he saw Maisy’s ws, the more he appreciated Skr’s virtues. He regretted everything


    deeply.


    At that moment, his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and answered, “Mom.”


    “Have you seen Skr?”

    “I haven’t seen her yet. Mom, I’ve been thinking. I wouldn’t have betrayed Skr if


    Maisy hadn’t constantly tempted me. We might already be married now. We promised each other


    we’d get married after graduating college and then work hard.


    for our little family.”


    Whenever Christopher reminisced about the past, it felt like a knife piercing his heart. His regret


    was eating him inside.


    Amelia’s heart ached after hearing his words.


    “Son, this isn’t your fault. Maisy’s the one to me. She’s a seductress, always trying to lure you in.


    It’s not your fault. And Skr, she imed to love you and wanted to


    marry you. But she refused to forgive you because of one mistake you made when you were


    tempted. So she’s at fault, too.”


    Amelia paused to take a sip of water before continuing, “The caregivers at the hospital aren’t


    attentive enough and are costing money.


    “Skr took such great care of me. You should just sweet–talk her, say something


    nice. After all, she’s no longer innocent, and you’re being generous to take her back.


    She shoulde back and take care of me in the hospital.”


    In her mind, her son was an excellent man. Skr should be grateful that her son still


    wanted her. If Skr didn’t return to care for her, she would disapprove of their


    rtionship.


    Christopher frowned. His mother was too optimistic.


    If Skr could easily forgive him, she would have done so already. Moreover, she


    was now working at Gardner Group. The people she met and the things she experienced were


    different from what the old Skr would have encountered.


    “Mom, if I win her back, you must treat her better. She has a job now and probably


    won’t care for you in the hospital. If the caregivers aren’t attentive, we’ll find another

    one,” Christopher said seriously.


    He currently had a million from Maisy, but after paying off some debts, he had only a little over 400


    thousand dors left. It still wasn’t enough to clear his debts.


    “Alri


    alright, whatever you say. It’s good to know you care about your wife.”
