Chapter 768


    Skr was overwhelmed by the flood of gossip and news, feeling powerless in the midst of it all.


    The thought of someone discussing true love as if it were priceless only deepened her dread.


    Joe’s gaze darkened as he looked at Skr. Do you want a divorce?”


    Skr smiled. “Isn’t that what you want?”


    Her encounters with Vera had left her feeling stung by the woman’s open disdain. To Vera, Skr


    likely appeared nothing more than a disgraceful mistress.


    Joe’s expression hardened, and he said nothing as he dressed. Before leaving, he remarked, “We’ll


    discuss the divorce after the contract ends.”


    Once Joe had gone, Janine knocked and entered the room. She asked cautiously,” Why did Joe


    leave so suddenly?”


    Despite her inner turmoil, Skr’s face remained impassive. “He had something urgent to attend to


    and won’t be back tonight. It’ste, so you should get some rest, Mom.”


    Janine nodded but remained worried. “Be honest with me. Did you two have an argument? This visit


    feels different from thest one.”


    Skr admitted, “There have been some unpleasant moments, but it’s nothing serious. We’ll sort it


    out. Don’t worry, Mom.” Although she hadn’t anticipated Janine noticing, she chose not to deny it.


    Reassured by Skr’s openness, Janine felt better. She believed that newlyweds often faced


    adjustments and minor conflicts, which was normal.


    “Alright, I’ll go rest. Remember,munication is key. Don’t let misunderstandings fester; even


    small ones can strain your rtionship. I’ve been through it and


    understand how important it is.”


    Janine offered this heartfelt advice before heading to bed.


    Skry in bed, reflecting on Janine’s words. She realized that even minor misunderstandings


    could lead to more significant issues and recognized the need for a serious conversation with Joe.


    She nned to address things openly once they were back at the Gxy Vi.


    Dinnersted over an hour at the Moran Residence. Jenny arrived and waited for


    2/2


    about half an hour before dinner began.

    Edwin and Molly were unusually kind tonight, asking her many questions, which she answered


    honestly.


    As dinner was wrapping up, Edwin inquired, “Did you have any boyfriends in college?”


    Molly added with a smile, “With your looks, you must have had quite a few suitors in college.”


    With a hint of blush, Jenny replied shyly, “No, I dedicated myself to my studies in college. While


    there were some who showed interest, I wasn’t interested in them. To me, no one else could


    compare to Joe.”


    This was the truth. Compared to Joe, the boys at college seemed ordinary, and none could measure


    up to his level, let alone Rowan’s


    She couldn’t risk having any blemishes on her reputation, so she turned down everyone who


    pursued her. That was why she was confident in truthfully answering that she had never had a


    boyfriend.


    When Edwin heard her say no onepared to Joe, his expression subtly changed A hint of


    dissatisfaction colored his tone, though Jenny didn’t notice it. “Yes, Joe is certainly remarkable.”


    Molly sipped her tea, keeping her head down. She understood Edwin well; although Joe was his


    son, Edwin resented the praise, feeling it reflected poorly on his own standing. He was supposed to


    command respect and run the Martin Group, but Joe had taken over his position, leaving Edwin


    feeling overshadowed and bitter.


    Jenny nced at the clock. It was 10:00 pm. “It’s gettingte, so I’ll leave you both to rest. If you


    need any help, I’ll be more than willing to assist.”


    When she finished speaking and stood up, she felt dizzy, perhaps from standing too quickly.


    She even struggled to keep her bnce.
