Caleb''s tone was urgent as he spoke on the phone, "Finally, you called me back. I tried reaching you several times. I only realized this morning that you hadn''t returned to the hotel.
"Where are you now? We have a flight at 3:00 pm today. I''lle find you."
Skr briefly exined her situation with Joe, who were at a different hotel, and told Caleb to head straight to the airport, and that she would meet him there in the afternoon.
She then called Aiken.
Aiken didn''t answer, likely because he was busy.
Skr put her phone down and noticed Joe watching her.
"I''m nning to finish breakfast, then visit a nearby specialty store and head to the airport. You..."
Joe stared at her and replied, "I have a flight at 3:00 pm as well. We can go to the specialty store togetherter."
"Really?" Skr was surprised.
Joe nodded. He had just overheard Skr''s conversation with Caleb and then instructed Paul to rearrange the flight reservation.
It was initially a flight two hourster but was changed to the same flight as Skr''s.
A few minutester, Aiken called back.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Skr put down her cutleries and answered the call.
"How is Mr. Martin?" Aiken asked directly about Joe''s condition.
Joe''s expression was cold, and his eyes were distant.
Aiken was already so impatient even though they had yet to divorce. Meanwhile, Skr was smiling throughout her phone call with Aiken.
Deeply engrossed in her phone call with Aiken, Skr didn''t notice Joe''s change in expression. "His fever has gone down. He''s feeling better today." "That''s good. Make sure you take care of yourself as well. Call me if you need anything."
"Alright, thank you."
The call didn''tst long.
After ending the call, Skr noticed Joe''s displeasure.
"Are you not feeling well again? Do you still have cold symptoms?"
Joe sneered and said, "Do you know anything about Aiken?"
Skr was taken aback. "Why do you ask?"
She knew Aiken but hadn''t felt the need to delve deeply into his character.

"You''re divorcing me because of Aiken, aren''t you? Even if I agree the divorce, you should stay away from him. He''s not right for you," Joe said, his voice low and cold. Content

Skr''s expression grew cold. She felt that the most unfamiliar thing to her was Joe, who had been sharing the same bed with her for months.
She said, "You know better than I do why we''re getting divorced. There''s no need to borate further. Aiken and Dare just friends. But you can think whatever you like."
Joe''s face grew darker. Both of them looked tense.
Fortunately, Gloria called at that moment. Skr''s expression softened when she spoke with Gloria.
After breakfast, Joe finally spoke again. "We''ll discuss the divorce when we''re back in Jipsburg. This isn''t the right time."
Skr agreed without objection. "Just set the time."
Seeing Skr''s indifferent attitude only made Joe more upset. He felt a tightness in his throat and found it difficult to breathe Skr was being too heartless.
...
It was 2:00 pm when Caleb saw Joe
with Skr at the airport. He rolled his eyes discreetly. They were on the same flight when they came here, and now they were on the same flight going back.
Joe wasn''t here for business. It seemed like he was here to cling to Skr.
"Skr told me you were sick. Howe I didn''t notice? Have you already recovered so quickly?" Caleb asked bluntly.
Joe''s gaze was icy. "How can you speak to your elder like that?"
"We''re peers, okay?" Caleb replied. Caleb forced a smile, feeling his confidence wane in front of Joe.
"Wait, is that Aiken?" Caleb''s eyes widened as he looked past Skr and Joe.
