Chapter 718


    Charles asked, “Has Mr. Madron not arrived yet?”


    Felicia had previously worked on a film with Charles. Back then, he was just another decent–looking


    man from a humble background, so she hadn’t paid. much attention to him.


    Though she recognized him, Charles was only a small yer in the past. However, his poprity


    had begun to rise in thest few months.

    Still, she didn’t think he was right as the male lead in her current project. If it weren’t for his


    connection with Skr, she might have asked Oswald to find someone to rece him.


    “Mr. Madron had an urgent mattere up. Let’s discuss things between us first,” Felicia said.


    Charles furrowed his brow but took a seat across from Felicia. “Alright. You mentioned some


    concerns about the male lead role. Why don’t you share your thoughts?”


    Felicia had no specific ideas. She hadn’t even read the script yet, merely skimming it daily. She


    smiled and said, “Let’s have some food first.”


    “I ate beforeing here and am not too hungry now. I need to control my weight before joining the


    crew. Go ahead and eat. I’ll wait for you,” Charles said, maintaining a business–like demeanor.


    Felicia’s smile faltered. “Alright, please wait for me for ten minutes.”


    Skr returned the car to its spot in the garage and put the keys away. She nned to buy a new


    car tomorrow and decided not to drive this one anymore.


    That night, Joe sent her a message saying he would stay at Avalon Residence for a few days. She


    responded with a simple “Okay” and nothing more.


    Joe saw only a one–word response with no punctuation or emoji, and he keenly sensed Skr’s


    coldness. He texted back, “Feeling lonely at home?”


    He waited for a few minutes, but there was no response. Joe raised his


    2/2


    eyebrows and lightly smirked. It seemed that he didn’t hold a significant ce in her mind. She was


    probably too busy chatting with her family or friends to pay him any attention.


    Joe felt a pang in his heart. It seemed necessary to secure a spot in her mind for himself.


    An exmation mark from Rowan jolted Joe’s attention back to his phone.


    Joe opened Rowan’s message, which was filled with multiple exmation marks. He read the final


    line. “Vera is back! I just saw her! Has she contacted you?”


    Joe’s gaze lingered on Vera’s name. After a few seconds, he typed a response,


    “No.”


    Rowan replied almost instantly, “Some women are just cold–hearted, Forget about her. You have


    Skr now, so there’s no need to dwell on Vera.”


    Joe’s gaze darkened as he replied, “Talk to your fiancée about this. I’m busy.”


    Rowan sent a rolling eye emoji, ending the conversation.


    Joe lingered on the chat page for a moment before exiting. Just then, a maid approached. She


    informed him that his uncle, Garth Martin, wanted to see him.


    Joe’s expression turned cold as he responded with a curt, “Okay.”


    A few dayster, while Skr was on the phone with Alexander about work, Joe returned home.


    Seeing Skr on the phone, Joe decided not to interrupt her. He then went to change into


    loungewear.


    Skr nced at Joe as he moved through the room. His striking physique and appearance were


    hard to ignore.


    Noticing that Skr had repeatedly looked at him, Joe’s lips curled into a


    subtle smile. Skr ended the call after chatting with Alexander for a few more


    moments.


    Joe then asked, “How are your injuries healing?”


    They were visibly healed.
