Even though Paul wouldn’t dare look at Skr and Terence was elderly, Joe still didn’t want anyone
to see her dressed like this. He intended for Skr to show it to him privately at
home.
Skr was still dazed but nodded nheless. “Okay.”
As she went to the fitting room to change out of the traditional dress, she suddenly realized that Joe
was no longer upset.
That night, he exuded a cold and intimidating demeanor when he got out of the car and left.
When Skr emerged from the fitting room, Joe took her hand. Then, he grabbed the traditional
dress from her and didn’t bother to let Ralph bag it.
He turned to Paul and said, “Skr and I are heading out first.”
Paul nodded in agreement. Terence and Ralph were slow to catch on. They only then realized that
this youngdy was Joe’s girlfriend.
Seeing that Terence and Ralph were still in shock, Paul smiled and said, “Let me settle the
remaining bnce.”
When Joe saw Skr walking out of the fitting room, his eyes widened in astonishment
Skr’s figure was truly stunning.
No wonder Joe couldn’t resist and immediately pulled her away. Whatever conflicts they had before
were now forgotten.
Joe gave him a raise, which was well deserved. Just look at how smoothly he managed their
encounter today, leaving no trace behind.
Back in the car, Joe took the passenger seat.
Every time Joe sat in her car, Skr’s car seemed even smaller and narrower. His long legs.
seemed to have nowhere to go.
“You…”
Just as Skr was about to speak, Joe suddenly cupped her face. He pulled her toward him and
nted a kiss on her that left her speechless.
It was intense andmanding.
The kiss was urgent and prolonged.
Skr’s heart raced.
Faintly, there was a sense of illusion. She wondered if Joe had truly developed feelings for

her. Otherwise, the kiss seemed to carry a touch of genuine emotion.

When Joe finally pulled away, he looked at Skr’s flushed cheeks and slightly swollen lips. His
fingers gentlybed through her soft hair.
“Put on the traditional dress for me when we get home,” he said with a possessive tone.
Joe would have taken things further with her if they weren’t in the city but a secluded spot in the
woods.
Skr couldn’t find a word to say and asked, “You’re going home too?”
Joe’s hand paused briefly. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Where else would I go if not
home? I can pretend I never heard what you said before. Just don’t bring it up again.”
He wasmitted to spending his life with her and wasn’t considering divorce. Any concerns she
had, he could handle.
Skr was stunned. The fluttering in her heart made her acutely aware of her feelings. She looked
down at the steering wheel in her hands and finally asked, “Do you like me?”
Joe was momentarily taken aback. He nced at her lowered eyes, noticing the fluttering of her
longshes.
“We don’t talk about these things,” Joe said. His voice was low and serious.
Joe wondered if he had developed feelings for Skr. He questioned himself once again. He had
never experienced romantic love between a man and a woman before, and he didn’t really know
what it meant to love someone.
Skr tightened her grip on the steering wheel and said softly, “Can we talk about it?”
Joe raised an eyebrow. “Talk about what?”
Instead of discussing it, Joe thought they should hurry home. Her image in the traditional dress was
still vivid in his mind. She was so alluring. It almost made him feel like he was losing hisposure.
Skr’s heart sank as she heard Joe’s casual response. She took a deep breath and said, ” What I
saidst time was sincere. Although it was a sudden decision, after reflecting over the past few
days, I believe we’re not suitable for each other.
“Life is long and full of unexpected events. Even two people in love might not stay together for a
lifetime. So, let’s just fulfill our three–year agreement.”
