Chapter 319


    Skr couldn’t help but wonder if Joe was treating her like a lost child. But despite her inner


    grumbling, she obediently sent Joe her location.

    In less than 20 minutes, Joe arrived in a hurry.


    The moment he saw Skr, he reached out, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her passionately.


    Skr was dumbfounded. What was he…


    After the kiss, Joe lowered his head to look at her. With his breath slightly heavy, he


    asked, “Why did you go out alone?”


    When Joe had rushed back from the hospital, he’d found only Skr’s suitcase in the room. She


    had been gone. He had asked Paul, but no one had known where she had


    gone.


    Skr hadn’t answered any of his calls. Didn’t she understand the danger?


    Skr, still dazed from the kiss, looked confused. “Can’t I go a


    t alone? This is


    tourist city, and I had nothing else to do at the hotel, so I went out for a stroll. Did


    you… need something?”


    Wasn’t Joe supposed to be at the hospital? The person who’d made him rush back to the hospital


    must be very important to him.


    Listening to Skr’s nonchnt tone, Joe nced again at the crowded pedestrian


    street and suddenly realized his earlier urgency had been somewhat irrational.


    For a moment, his expression turned grim.


    Seeing this, Skr pointed to a nearby popr spot and said, “How about we go there and wait in


    line for a photo?”


    Skr looked at the spot eagerly as she wanted Joe to take a few photos. She was now dressed in


    a flowing sundress that exuded a fairy–like beauty.


    Skr’s suggestion seemed to make Joe rx a bit. He took her hand, and they walked toward the


    photo spot.


    2/2


    Skr nced down at their interlocked hands. Joe’s hand fit perfectly in hers, with his warmth


    providing an unexpected sense of security. For a brief moment, her heart fluttered, and she felt a bit


    dazed.


    Then, a couple ahead of them unexpectedly captured her attention.


    Skr snapped out of her thoughts when she was captivated by the stunning pair embracing each


    other. They seemed inseparable.


    The man tenderly kissed the woman on her forehead. They were clearly a couple deeply in love.


    Skr couldn’t help but think of Joe’s earlier kiss. It had been so different from his


    usual aloof demeanor–the kiss had been so passionate and intense..


    If they had been back at the hotel, surely they wouldn’t have been able to restrain


    themselves.


    Skr’s heart sank as she realized where her thoughts had wandered. That kiss just


    now had stirred up emotions in her… leading to uncontroble ces.


    When they finally reached the front of the line to take photos, Skr handed her


    phone to Joe. “Could you take a few pictures for me?”


    Joe looked down at the phone in his palm with a glint of malice shing in his eyes. Did she not


    want to take a photo with him?


    As he looked up, Skr had already struck a pose.


    Under the night’s luminous glow, the woman in the fiery red sundress stood out.


    Skr’s long hair danced in the wind, and her radiant smile was captivating enough


    to hold anyone’s gaze.


    Time seemed to freeze at that moment.


    Joe’s deep eyes locked onto Skr as he snapped a few photos on her phone.


    Meanwhile, he overheard othersmenting on Skr. “She’s so beautiful. Is she a


    celebrity?”


    “If I could find a girlfriend like her in the future, I’d wake up smiling from my dreams.”


    Joe nced at the few men nearby.
