Chapter 782
The person by the door froze. He wasn’t expecting anyone to be at home.
Skylar took a step backward. She wanted to go back into the kitchen to grab a knife.
The news had reported plenty of cases of homicide and robbery recently. Had Galaxy Villa become a target?
The police were in the midst of their investigation. Was this murderer downright fearless?
Skylar could hear her heart pounding. She wasn’t scared to get in a fight. However, she was terrified of murderers.
“It’s me.”
It was Joe’s voice. Skylar froze. Joe?
That explained why the long limbs she’d caught a glimpse of in the moonlight looked familiar. She found
it understandable why the murderer hadn’t been apprehended. His legs were too long. He must’ve been a formidable sprinter.
“It’s you,” Skylar sighed.
Joe was walking toward her already. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She planned to go back upstairs directly after drinking some water, so Skylar didn’t turn the lights on. When Joe walked over, she saw only his silhouette–she couldn’t see his expression.
“Who else would it be?” asked Joe.
He’d gone to Janine’s house. Charles let him in. Only then did Joe know that Skylar wasn’t there.
When he was about to head home, Garth asked him to go to Avalon House.
Then, he drove home in the middle of the night.
Joe had thought she’d be asleep. However, she had come downstairs to drink water.
Skylar answered honestly, “I thought you were the murderer wanted by the police.”
“A murderer?” Joe laughed. He didn’t look like a murderer, did he?
“Yeah, the news reported a robbery and homicide. It also happened in a mansion. The mother and her three children all died. Her husband narrowly escaped. He’d been on a business trip. The murderer is still
on the run.”
“Galaxy Villa is equipped with an advanced security system. If someone wanted to rob you, they’d have to be invulnerable. Don’t you worry.”
Skylar nodded and asked, “Would you like some water?”
She hadn’t checked the time after waking up. Skylar had no idea what time it was.
Joe hummed in response, so Skylar poured him a glass and handed it to him.
They saw no issue in conversing with, the lights off.
Joe downed his glass of water and said, “Let’s go upstairs and back to sleep.”
“Alright.”
Once they went upstairs, Skylar lay in bed. She checked the time and was surprised that it was already 4:
Chapt4: 782
00 am. It explained why it wasn’t completely dark outside. Dawn would be breaking in a while.
Joe showered quickly and got into bed. He gathered Skylar into his arms and said, “Go to bed.”
Skylar stiffened. Joe was behaving a lot like the night before they discussed their divorce.
Drowsiness crept up on Skylar gradually. When she woke up, it was 7:00 am. Joe still had his arms around her. She gently shifted his arm off and snuck out of bed:
Just as Skylar left the bedroom, Joe opened his eyes.
Downstairs, Skylar prepared a simple breakfast. She made two sandwiches and poured some milk.
Initially, she planned to eat some breakfast, get ready for the day, and head to work. But Joe had come home late last night, so he probably wouldn’t be getting up early.
