Richest Mogul 906


    Gloria, Alexander, and George argued back and forth, unable to


    agree on anything. In the end, they decided to leave the decision to Vi.


    After spending some more time with the three elders, Skr and Joe said their goodbyes and left


    Pearlhall Residence.


    On the way home, Skr couldn’t stop smiling. She was clearly delighted.


    Joe handed her a bottle of water and asked, “You seem really

    happy.”


    Skr nodded and replied, “Yes, I am. I’ve missed Grandma Vi so much. I’m happy she’sing


    to Jipsburg. I’ve been worried about her. She hasn’t been in great health these past two years, and I


    was concerned she wouldn’t be able to take care of herself.


    “Now that she’s written, it’s her way of reassuring us. Knowing everyone else misses her as much


    as I do makes me really happy for her.”


    Joe’s tone softened as he replied, “I’ve heard Grandma talk about Grandma Vi before. To the


    older generation in Jipsburg, she’s a legend.”


    Skr nodded again. “To me, Grandma Vi is amazing. She could remember everything after


    reading it once, and her predictions were always spot–on.”


    Joe asked, “When did you start learning antique restoration from


    her?”


    Skr thought for a moment. “When I was about five. I was quite


    mischievous then, but at her house, I’d calm down. I loved being


    with her


    The conversation flowed naturally between them, and before they knew it, they arrived at Gxy


    Vi. It wasn’t often they talked so


    much


    Just as they were about to go inside, Joe suddenly wrapped his arms around Skr from behind.


    Her back was pressed against his chest, she could feel his heartbeat through the fabric of his shirt,


    strong and steady.


    “This is nice, just the way we are,” he murmured.


    Skr was caught off guard but soon smiled. “Yes, it is. This feels right.”


    In that moment, she sensed Joe’smitment to their marriage. As for love, she hoped he’de


    to feel that one day.


    The following days were a whirlwind of work for Skr. She arrived early at the office and even had


    to cut short her lunch breaks. It wasn’t until Friday that things finally slowed down.


    As the workday wound down, Caleb approached her. “I haven’t seen Simona since that incident of


    hers. I want to visit her.”


    Skr asked, “Have you tried calling her?”


    Caleb’s voice was tinged with frustration. “I’ve called her several times in the past few days, but she


    hasn’t picked up.”


    “Maybe she changed her phone number,” Skr suggested. She decided to first check with Aiken


    via WhatsApp to see if he knew anything and then consult with the psychologist.


    *Changed her number?” Caleb was surprised. Then he suddenly remembered something and


    immediately searched his messages. He hadn’t checked his messagestely because they were


    mostly spam or advertisements.


    After finding a message from a few days ago from Simona, he chuckled and said, “She did send me


    a message with her new number.”


    Seeing Caleb’s reaction, Skr put away her phone and decided not to contact Aiken. Since


    Simona had informed Caleb of her new number, it meant she wasn’t averse to seeing her old


    friends.


    “I’ll give her a call,” Caleb said and immediately dialed Simona’s number. As it rang, each second


    felt like forever. He was nervous, fearing she might not answer.


    Fortunately, after a few rings, Simona picked up.


    “Simona, you-”


    Before Caleb could finish, Simona cut him off, sounding impatient. What is it? Just spit it out. If


    you’re just going to ramble, save it. I’m watching a show and don’t have time for your nonsense.”


    Caleb’s eyes misted. “Can I visit you now?”


    There was a brief pause before Simona replied, “Fine,e over.”
