Chapter 350
Joe looked down at her. “Have you fallen for me?”
Skylar’s back stiffened, and she moved slightly further from him.
These few days, they had been…
Besides, she clearly felt herself having feelings for him. She believed not many women could stop themselves from falling for him.
However, she recalled the time when they registered their marriage and the agreement they had recently.
Her gaze fell on the sunset. “I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about love. I’ve always kept that in
mind.”
Upon hearing that, Joe’s deep gaze became even more profound. His smile slowly disappeared. “That’s true. We aren’t supposed to talk about love.”
Skylar’s eyelashes fluttered. She felt something tugging at her heart, and a wave of pain washed over her. Taking a deep breath, she pretended nothing had happened.
At that moment, they became even more distant from each other.
The boat returned to the pier in no time. After it docked, Joe and Skylar drove back to the hotel. They had
dinner brought up to their room.
Joe took his shower and changed into casual wear. Just as he was putting on his watch, Skylar exited the
bathroom.
Joe glanced at her. In an emotionless tone, he said, “I’m going to the hospital.”
“Sure.” Skylar nodded. She was gently drying her hair with a towel.
After Joe left, Skylar glanced at the door. Then, she looked away and took the hair dryer to dry her hair.
20 minutes passed. Jenny was in the hospital, reading the encouraging messages from her friends.
Their concern didn’t matter much to her, though. The person she wanted to meet most was Joe. However, he had gone out to sea with Skylar and might not visit her.
The caretaker, Camilla Pallas, took great care of her.
She glanced at Camilla. “It’s almost time for bed. You should go and rest, too.”
“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll leave when you’re asleep.” Camilla liked Jenny a lot. She heard that her parents had passed away and tried her best to look after her.
Jenny sweetly thanked her.
Camilla grinned. “If only my future daughter–in–law can be as sweet and adorable as you!”
Chapter 350
Since she was young, Jenny knew how to get along with others. No matter who it was, she would be kind
and amiable to them. She smiled sincerely and said, “You’re a nice person, so your wish will come true.”
Camilla laughed. “I appreciate that.” Then, she put more care into tidying the room.
Perhaps she really would have an understanding daughter–in–law in the future!
At that time, Joe entered. His features softened when he heard laughter in the room.
Camilla tensed up when she saw him. He was imposing. Despite her age, she dared not look him in the
eye.
“Joe!” Jenny was thrilled to see him.
Her movements were restricted after the surgery. Otherwise, she would’ve thrown herself at him. However, she shook that thought aside the moment it appeared. Joe disliked being too close to others. Even though they grew up together, he disliked coming too close to her. He wouldn’t even let her link arms with him or hug him. She hugged him once, and he scolded her.
At first, she would feel upset over it. Then, she realized that he treated everyone else equally. Annie, in particular, had tried various approaches to get closer to Joe. She claimed she was close friends with him and tried to use Rowan to get nearer to him. In the end, she was no more than a stranger to Joe. On the other hand, Jenny thought she was important to Joe. Joe would help handle a lot of her affairs.
