Chapter 788
Skr was enraged by Joe''s exnation. What was he getting at by insisting that she was the one
who wanted a divorce?
Oh. She got it.
"Alright, I''ll wait for you to bring up the topic of divorce in the future. I won''t being home in the
coming weeks. If you need anything, just call."
Joe was probably bothered that she had suggested they get divorced before he had the chance.
Skr found it unnecessary to continue their conversation. She walked to the door, put on her
shoes, and left.
He was silent. His jaw was clenched tightly. As the door mmed, he banged his cup onto the table.
…
Skr only remembered that night had fallen once she''d left Gxy Vi. She had only brought her
bag and her phone when she left. She had nothing else with her.
A cold breeze swept over her. She calmed down.
Just now, Skr had been too impulsive. When she thought of his attitude, her heart sank.
Oh well. She had said what needed to be said. Skr decided to stay in a hotel for the night.
Tomorrow, she would pack her bags and move out of Gxy Vi. This wasn''t a bad idea at all.
…
The following day, Skr applied for a leave.
First, she rented an apartment. Then, she drove back to Gxy Vi.
She had splurged in the past few months and purchased a lot of stuff, and she needed some time to
tidy up.
Without realizing it, she''d begun to treat Gxy Vi as her home. It was a stark contrast to how
strange it seemed to her at first. Looking at the familiar decor before her, Skr felt as though there
was a weight on her shoulders.
Her rtionship with Joe was destined to fail. Joe probably thought they were just two lonely people
comforting each other.

Skr felt a tingling in her nose. She sniffled for a bit, and then she moved faster to tidy up.
…
In the afternoon, Skr headed straight to work.
When she got there, Alexander called her to his office.
Upon walking in, Cameron greeted Skr. Thetter was surprised to see the former. She said, "Mr.
Yates Senior."
He nodded with a smile and asked, "Did you sleep poorlyst night? Why do you look so
exhausted?"
Skr agreed, "Yeah, it might''ve been because I only fell asleep in the early hours of the morning
last night."
The bed in the hotel was too soft. She wasn''t used to it. In addition, her head had been swirling with
a mess of thoughts. She couldn''t calm down enough to fall asleep.
"I''m here to see you. Alexander told me about many things recently. I feel extremely insecure. Thus,
I would like to invite you to my home so you can have a look at the antiques I have. I''ve been
collecting quite a lot of bits and bobs in the past few years. Perhaps a negative item is hidden within
the collection. Would you be able toe?"
"Could we reschedule for next month? My mom fractured her fib. She needs someone to take
care of her," Skr said. She understood Cameron''s anxieties.
Too many negative items had popped up for no apparent reason. It instilled panic in others easily.
Someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. These negative items seemed to prate
every corner of society.
Cameron nodded and replied, "Alright."
"I''ll have Caleb go with you. He can learn a little from you. I''ve got a friend working in a museum.
Next week, please help me deliver two antiques over to him to be exhibited," instructed Alexander.
"Okay."
…
Before getting off work, Simona called Skr and invited her to her birthday party. She and Caleb
would be the only guests.
Aiken had something to deal with in the afternoon. He''d sent someone to gift Simona her present.
However, after hearing that Simona had invited Skr, he pushed his work aside.
Simona questioned jokingly on the phone, "I think you''ve treating Skr a little too well. Do you
have a crush on her?"
"Don''t speak such nonsense. She''s married," said Aiken after a few moments of pause.
"Oh," replied Simona.
What a pity Skr was married.
