Chapter 767


    1/2


    Joe didn’t insist further. He stood by with his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on


    Skr.


    Once Skr finished microwaving the dishes, she noticed Joe still lingering in the kitchen. “Please


    take the dishes out. Dinner’s ready,” she instructed.


    “Sure,” Joe replied.


    Joe wasn’t exactly the ideal husband type who excelled at housework, but he didn’t mind sharing


    the chores with Skr. She cooked; he cleaned. Now that she had heated up the food, he was


    happy to help out by bringing it to the table.


    Skr gave him a small smile.


    Joe’s picture–perfect husband image was short–lived. While he was in the shower, Skr found a


    gossip article with the headline, “Secret Couple Unmasked: Their Identities Revealed!”


    The article exposed Joe, the CEO of Martin Group, and Vera, the eldest daughter of the Ruell


    family, as the perfect couple. Photos showed Vera getting into Joe’s car, and sitting in the front


    passenger seat–an unmistakable sign of her special status.


    “Joe’s girlfriend, Vera, exposed for the first time!”


    “This is truly a perfect match!”


    “This couple is simply perfect together!”


    The buzz surrounding them was even hotter than a celebrity rtionship reveal.


    Natalie, always quick to catch wind of gossip, messaged Skr on WhatsApp.” What’s going on?


    Not only did Joe never announce your marriage, but now it looks like he’s cheating on you. This is


    too much! Skye, don’t be afraid.”


    Having been betrayed herself, Natalie was worried Skr might get hurt. What made it worse was


    how tant Joe was being, openly unting his rtionship with Vera as if to make it clear Skr


    was easily receable.


    Skr could imagine how furious Natalie was. “These photos and news don’t mean much. At worst,


    Joe and I might end up divorced.”


    Natalie felt relieved. “It’s good that you two don’t have strong feelings for each other.”


    Skr’s eyes shifted. “Yes, it’s fortunate that we don’t have any strong feelings. Let’s not talk about


    it now. He’ll be back from the shower soon,” she texted.

    Skr exited her WhatsApp.


    Joe didn’t notice anything unusual about her. He was drying his hair with a small towel, still damp


    from the shower.


    Since they weren’t at Gxy Vi and had to share the bathroom with the family, Joe put on his


    pajamas directly in the restroom, which left him slightly ufortable from the lingering moisture.


    “There’s a vi near our ce that belongs to me. We can move Mom there,” Joe said, looking at


    Skr.


    When he noticed her distant expression and the change in her demeanor, his eyebrows raised


    slightly. She had seemed fine before he went to shower. He wondered why she was suddenly so


    serious.


    Skr declined his offer. Her tone was t as she said, “Thank you, but I recently bought a house.


    My mom will be able to move in soon.”


    Fortunately, the ce she bought was spacious, with plenty of rooms. After the divorce, she could


    simply move there.


    The photo showcased Vera in a breathtaking manner, making her appear dazzling and captivating.


    However, Joe wasn’t in the photo; it merely showed Vera getting into the car as the door was about


    to close.


    Joe’s expression darkened. His tone grew colder. “Is something wrong?”

    “Shouldn’t we schedule a time to visit the courthouse? There are a lot of divorces happeningtely.


    We should set a date,” Skr said, meeting his gaze directly. She wanted to take control of the


    situation and not just react to whatever came her way.
