    For the three hours she couldn’t reach Skr, Natalie was on the verge of calling the police. She


    was terrified that Skr might do something drastic.


    Too many girls were getting caught up in their feelings and doing foolish things these days.


    Skr couldn’t help butugh. “I’m fine. The news about Joe and Lizzie getting engaged isn’t what it


    seems. Joe and I are doing well. We haven’t divorced.


    She noticed Joe watching her intently.


    She added, “We also don’t n to divorce.”


    “What?” Natalie was clearly confused by Skr’s words. “What’s going on?”


    Skr replied, “I’lle see you tomorrow and exin everything. You don’t need to worry about


    me, and don’t believe what you read online.”


    Natalie remained puzzled. “Okay, as long as you’re fine. But you have to tell me everything in detail


    when we meet tomorrow. You have no idea how worried I’ve been since I heard the news.”


    “Alright, alright, Ms. Jakeman. I’lle to apologize tomorrow.”


    “Deal.”


    After ending the call, Skr looked at Joe.


    Joe took the initiative to confront her. “Do you remember Elliott?”


    Skr was taken aback. She had never realized just how petty Joe could be.


    “I’ve met him. Of course, I remember,” she replied honestly.


    Joe narrowed his eyes and moved closer, wrapping his hands around her waist.


    The marks he had left earlier from their intimacy were still fresh on her skin. Now, when he gripped


    her, it sent a jolt of pain through her.

    “Ouch…” she gasped.


    “Where does it hurt?” Joe asked immediately.


    “It hurts right where you’re squeezing me now,” Skr replied, her eyes brimming with tears.


    She hadn’t felt much during her shower. Although she had seen the red marks on her skin, she


    dared not recall the moment when Joe had gripped her waist so tightly.


    As his gaze down to where his hands rested now, he instinctively released her.


    Her waist was so slender that he could easily snap it with his hands if he tried. He had gripped her a


    little too hard, caught up in the heat of the moment.


    Earlier in bed, he had been excessive. Looking at Skr before him, whose eyes were slightly red,


    it felt as if she was silently using him of his wrongdoing. He finally said, “I’m sorry.”


    “Just don’t do that again,” Skr replied gently as she rubbed her waist.


    The ce where he had gripped her was still sore, and her legs felt achy. As she descended


    from the bedroom, it was as if she was walking on cotton.


    Joe was too indulgent in bed. The more he pretended to be restrained on the outside, the


    more


    aggressive he became behind closed doors.


    Joe’s demeanor softened. “I’ll be more gentle tonight.”

    “Tonight?” Skr was taken aback by Joe’s words. She couldn’t help but wonder where he found all


    that


    energy.


    Just then, the doorbell rang.


    Joe walked over to answer it. Upon seeing who it was he turned back to Skr and said, “Lizzie is


    here. Do you want to see her?”
