Chapter 864


    ?


    Before Paul could finish his sentence, someone appeared behind him.


    The next moment, Joe snatched the phone right out of Paul''s hand.


    Skr was puzzled by the sudden silence on the other end of the line. Then she heard Joe''s voice.


    "If you''re so concerned about me, why not just call me directly?" Joe said.


    Skr was caught off guard. She hadn''t expected Joe to overhear her conversation with Paul, let alone take over and speak to her himself. Thankfully, she had just had some coffee, so her mind was sharp. She quickly responded, "I thought you might be busy."


    "Call me directly next time." Joe''s tone was a bitmanding.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Alright," Skr replied.


    She expected Joe to return the phone to Paul and end the call. But Joe surprised her again by saying, " Find some time toe by mypany." Skr was taken aback. She couldn''t quite figure out what Joe was thinking. She asked, "Aren''t you worried your employees will find out about our rtionship?"


    Joe said, "They''ll know sooner orter. Once we have the wedding, everyone in Jipsburg will know you''re my wife."


    Skr gripped her phone tightly. A wedding... There was no hint or any intention to divorce her in his words.


    After a brief silence from Skr, Joe''s eyes darkened slightly. Then, he said, "Alright, I''ll get back to work."


    "Okay, bye," Skr replied.


    After the call ended, Skr found herself momentarily lost in thought. She couldn''t stop thinking about her rtionship with Joe.


    Just then, Caleb encountered some issues and came to find her, snapping her out of her reverie.


    Skr hadn''t expected the wedding dresses to arrive so quickly. Not only did the ones she had selected arrive but several more had been sent along as well.


    There was even a designer and a team of staff who came to assist.


    Skr arrived home first. Edgar and the designers had been there for half an hour already.


    Apologizing for making them wait, Skr began trying on the wedding dresses individually.


    When she was trying on the third wedding dress, Joe returned home. When Joe saw Skr in her wedding dress, he couldn''t tear his eyes away.


    Seeing Joe''s unwavering gaze fixed


    on Skr Edgar couldn''t help but smile internally. He could see Joe''s feelings through his eyes. It was clear from Joe''s eyes how much he was taken by Skr,


    Edgar couldn''t deny that Skr was indeed beautiful, with a stunning figure. He was mesmerized as he watched. The designer praised her physique as well, not to mention how Joe felt about her. Content

    The wedding dress entuated her already fair skin, making it look even more like snow. She was absolutely stunning.


    Skr was initially unaware of Joe''s presence. While the designer talked to her, asking if she was dissatisfied with any part of the wedding dress or felt ufortable in any way, she was focused on experiencing the wedding dress.


    Although the wedding dresses might not all be used in the end, the experience was real.


    When she identally nced toward Joe, who wasing back, their eyes met. She was startled by the aggressive look in his eyes.


    He...


    "Mr. Martin, don''t you think this wedding dress looks particrly beautiful on Mrs. Martin?" Edgar asked at just the right moment.


    Joe withdrew his gaze as if realizing his earlier look was a bit inappropriate. After clearing his throat, he said in a somewhat heavy voice, "Well, it''s not bad."


    Observing Joe''s reaction, Edgar thought, "What do you mean ''not bad''?"


    Edgar was speechless. He thought Joe was just being stubborn.
