Chapter 292
“That’s good to hear.” Caleb said, nodding repeatedly. It had been so long since he last saw Skylar that he felt unsure how to talk to her. Nevertheless, seeing her made.
him happy.
“Do you have time tonight? Maybe we could grab dinner together,” Caleb quickly suggested, revealing the real reason he had come.
He wanted to have a proper conversation with her. Since their last chat about her marriage, they hadn’t seen or talked to each other.
Alexander was taken aback. This man! Was he still hung up on her?
Skylar, feeling tired, apologized, “I have some things to do tonight. How about wel
plan for another day?”
Having gotten little sleep last night and going another round with Joe in the morning,
she was exhausted, especially after a very busy day.
“Alright,” Caleb said, sounding somewhat disappointed and sad.
He had just noticed her fatigue, realizing she looked worn out. He’d heard from Alexander that Skylar had been busy restoring Frank’s painting, working diligently every day.
He felt a pang of guilt for not considering her situation earlier.
As the three of them exited the building together while chatting, Skylar bid farewell to Alexander and Caleb. Just as she was heading to the parking lot, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking her path.
*Skylar!”
The smile vanished from Skylar’s face when she saw who it was.
The memory of that night, the video she had seen, came rushing back. The images.
of Christopher and Maisy in that video were enough to make her stomach turn.
When Christopher saw the disgust and disdain in Skylar’s eyes, he was stunned. They had hr together for so many years, and this was the first time she looked at
him this way.
It felt like he had become nothing more than trash in her eyes.
“Why are you looking at me like that? You never used to look at me this way. Have you forgotten how wonderful we once were?” Christopher’s tone was pitiful, as though he had been wronged.
Every time they had argued in the past, he would plead for her forgiveness like this. And each time, she would feel soft–hearted and forgive him out of pity.
“Skye, so much has happened recently. It has driven us further apart. We’ve fought,
we’ve argued, and I was the one who blundered. I know I was wrong. Give me a chance to make amends, please.
“I swear, I won’t make the same mistake again. If you forgive me, I’ll do whatever you
ask, okay?”
Christopher’s tears flowed like rain as he spoke.
It was said that men didn’t cry easily, but Christopher’s tears were genuine. They were tears of remorse. Only after losing Skylar did he realize
how:
she was
to him.
Seeing this, both Alexander and Caleb walked over.
Caleb said to Alexander, “That guy is Skylar’s ex–boyfriend who cheated on her. He’s
a complete scumbag. Look at him having the nerve to cry in front of Skylar. He’s
trying to play the victim!”
He deliberately raised his voice.
Hearing these words, Christopher, who had been crying and feeling self–pity,
suddenly looked very embarrassed.
At the same time, Alexander gave a subtle signal to the head of the security team
behind him.
