Chapter 497
Joe asked, “You’re back?”
Skr hummed emotionlessly.
At Skr’s icy attitude, Joe red at her briefly before averting his eyes. He raised an eyebrow and
asked, “Are you in a bad mood?“.
Skr did not want to run circles around the topic. She cut to the chase and asked, “You knew
about Jeremy’s affair all along, didn’t you?”
Joe was caught off guard by her question. Nheless, he figured out what was going on. He said,
“Has Natalie found out?”
Skr knew. She questioned, “You knew long ago, right? Do you all enjoy going out with your
mistresses?”
Birds of a feather flocked together. She did not believe that Joe would be any different.
Thankfully, she only liked Joe slightly. She hadn’t fallen for him just yet. If not, her heart would be
just as broken as Natalie’s.
However, Skr still felt bad about it.
Joe’s gaze darkened. He asked, “I did know about it. Are you overthinking this?”
Had she been ring at him with disdain just now? It looked like she was one step away from
tattooing fuck off” across her forehead.
“I wasn’t,” Skr responded coldly. She continued, “I’m tired. I’ll be sleeping in the guest room
tonight.”
As she spoke, she climbed upstairs. She didn’t even look at Joe.
Skr could feel a migraineing on. How would she handle it if a mistress came knocking? What
if she asked Skr to leave so she could take her ce?
It would be wise to devise a n for dealing with a mistress now.
Joe furrowed his brows and trailed after her. He said, “Jeremy is Jeremy and I am myself. You can’t
treat us as the same thing. He only got together with Annabelle recently. He would’ve broken up
with her now if Natalie hadn’t discovered them.”
Skr stopped. She replied, “They might’ve broken up, but that doesn’t mean they never dated.
Since Natalie found out, it means that they hadn’t separated at the time.
“I know your rtionship with Jeremy. You’re defending him from your perspective. There’s nothing
wrong with that. However, I don’t think the past will be erased just because he broke up with her.
Perhaps our moral standards aren’t aligned. It’s normal that some of our beliefs do not coincide with
each other.
“Right, I hope there won’t be any mistresses causing me a fuss in the future. If you fall for someone,
tell me so our divorce won’t be as messy.”
Joe knew what she was implying. She believed that he and Jeremy were the same. In the past, they
were quite simr. They were more interested in their career than women.
However, Jeremy had lost his mind after getting seduced by his secretary. Joe had no exnation
for it until now. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
“There won’t be any mistresses. I won’t fall for any other woman. My heart is locked and the key has
been thrown away.”

Skr froze in surprise. She gazed at Joe thoughtfully before answering, “Okay.”
Joe hadn’t expected Skr to suddenly be so understanding. He confirmed, “You believe
me?”
“I do. I’m genuinely exhausted. I’m going to rest now,” Skr answered. She nodded and headed
upstairs to the guest room.
Joe’s face fell. Although she said she believed him, her actions indicated otherwise.
“Come back to the master bedroom,” Joe stepped forward and swept Skr into his arms.
It was one thing to sleep separately if she wasn’t at home. However, she was home now!
Skr was suddenlyunched into midair. She was surprised and eximed, “Put me down!”
Joe felt he needed to make her understand the consequences of not believing him. He said, “Didn’t
you say you were tired? Let me help you shower.”
Skr’s face paled. Was he going to bathe her?
“N–No need. I can do it myself.”
“Just in case someone thinks I have another woman outside, I must prove whether I’m dating
anyone else tonight.”
Skr wasn’t even given the chance to refuse. Joe stripped her of her clothes within seconds.
