Chapter 788
Skylar was enraged by Joe's explanation. What was he getting at by insisting that she was the one who wanted a divorce?
Oh. She got it.
"Alright, I'll wait for you to bring up the topic of divorce in the future. I won't be coming home in the coming weeks. If you need anything, just call."
Joe was probably bothered that she had suggested they get divorced before he had the chance.
Skylar found it unnecessary to continue their conversation. She walked to the door, put on her shoes, and left.
He was silent. His jaw was clenched tightly. As the door slammed, he banged his cup onto the table.
…
Skylar only remembered that night had fallen once she'd left Galaxy Villa. She had only brought her bag and her phone when she left. She had nothing else with her.
A cold breeze swept over her. She calmed down.
Just now, Skylar had been too impulsive. When she thought of his attitude, her heart sank.
Oh well. She had said what needed to be said. Skylar decided to stay in a hotel for the night. Tomorrow, she would pack her bags and move out of Galaxy Villa. This wasn't a bad idea at all.
…
The following day, Skylar applied for a leave.
First, she rented an apartment. Then, she drove back to Galaxy Villa.
She had splurged in the past few months and purchased a lot of stuff, and she needed some time to tidy up.
Without realizing it, she'd begun to treat Galaxy Villa as her home. It was a stark contrast to how strange it seemed to her at first. Looking at the familiar decor before her, Skylar felt as though there was a weight on her shoulders.
Her relationship with Joe was destined to fail. Joe probably thought they were just two lonely people comforting each other.
Skylar felt a tingling in her nose. She sniffled for a bit, and then she moved faster to tidy up.
…
In the afternoon, Skylar headed straight to work.
When she got there, Alexander called her to his office.
Upon walking in, Cameron greeted Skylar. The latter was surprised to see the former. She said, "Mr. Yates Senior."
He nodded with a smile and asked, "Did you sleep poorly last night? Why do you look so exhausted?"
Skylar agreed, "Yeah, it might've been because I only fell asleep in the early hours of the morning last night."
The bed in the hotel was too soft. She wasn't used to it. In addition, her head had been swirling with a mess of thoughts. She couldn't calm down enough to fall asleep.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I'm here to see you. Alexander told me about many things recently. I feel extremely insecure. Thus, I would like to invite you to my home so you can have a look at the antiques I have. I've been collecting quite a lot of bits and bobs in the past few years. Perhaps a negative item is hidden within the collection. Would you be able to come?"
"Could we reschedule for next month? My mom fractured her fibula. She needs someone to take care of her," Skylar said. She understood Cameron's anxieties.
Too many negative items had popped up for no apparent reason. It instilled panic in others easily. Someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. These negative items seemed to penetrate every corner of society.
Cameron nodded and replied, "Alright."
"I'll have Caleb go with you. He can learn a little from you. I've got a friend working in a museum. Next week, please help me deliver two antiques over to him to be exhibited," instructed Alexander.
"Okay."
…
Before getting off work, Simona called Skylar and invited her to her birthday party. She and Caleb would be the only guests.
Aiken had something to deal with in the afternoon. He'd sent someone to gift Simona her present.
However, after hearing that Simona had invited Skylar, he pushed his work aside.
Simona questioned jokingly on the phone, "I think you've treating Skylar a little too well. Do you have a crush on her?"
"Don't speak such nonsense. She's married," said Aiken after a few moments of pause.
"Oh," replied Simona.
What a pity Skylar was married.
