Chapter 522


    Natalie eximed, “Whoa…”


    She couldn’t continue her questions. However, she kept winking at Skr.


    “Since you managed to marry Joe, I’ll forgive you. I’ve been on edge sincest night. I worried that


    Joe might use his power to bully you into being his mistress or something. After all, with your looks,


    it’s hard for any man to resist.”


    Upon hearing Natalie’s words, Skr chuckled. “You see me through rose- colored sses. I’m not


    some rare beauty.”


    Natalie raised an eyebrow. “Skye, are you kidding me? If you’re not a stunning beauty, then who is?


    In my eyes, even those morous movie stars can’tpare to you. Back in the college, you were


    the only one who truly deserved the title of campus belle.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    After strolling around for a while, Natalie checked the time. Then, she said, “I have to get back. Let’s


    hang out again when I have a day off.”


    ?


    “Nath, take care of yourself,” Skr whispered and hugged Natalie.


    Natalie seemed her usual self, but Skr knew she didn’t like to show her


    vulnerabilities.


    They were alike in this way. They didn’t like to show their weaknesses. They preferred to deal with


    everything quietly.


    Upon hearing Skr’s words, Natalie’s eyes reddened for a moment. Her voice choked up as she


    said, “I will.”


    She would take good care of herself. The mistake wasn’t hers, so there was no need to punish


    herself for someone else’s fault. But the pain in her heart remained raw and hadn’t eased yet, and


    she didn’t know when it would.


    Maybe, with time, it would slowly get better.


    Skr had just left the college when Joe called her. He asked if Skr was free to attend a charity


    g with him that evening.


    She had nned to visit Charles on setter, but after checking the time, she


    realized she wouldn’t be able to make it in time.


    “Sorry, I can’t make it tonight,” she declined.


    2/2


    Joe’s tone remained indifferent, as if it didn’t matter much to him. “Alright. If the charity g runs


    late, I’ll just stay upstairs at the hotel and rest. Don’t wait up for me.”


    “Okay,” Skr replied.


    After hanging up, Joe’s expression turned cold. Paul happened to be nearby. He noticed Joe’s


    displeasure and kept silent.


    “Get everything ready,” Joe ordered coldly.


    “Sure,” Paul responded.


    Before Paul quickly exited the room, he nced at Joe’s phone. He wondered where Joe ranked in


    Skr’s mind among the others.


    During the weekend, Skr was almost entirely dedicated to other people. Joe wondered if Skr


    had ever considered spending one weekend with him.


    The thought left him feeling restless.


    Charles had been extremely busytely. He shot one film right after another.


    His hard work hadnded him in many roles as the second male lead.


    asionally, he evennded lead roles in web series.


    His schedule was packed, and his earnings were increasing.
