Chapter 497 

Joe asked, “You’re back?” 

Skylar hummed emotionlessly. 

At Skylar’s icy attitude, Joe glared at her briefly before averting his eyes. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you in a bad mood?“. 

Skylar did not want to run circles around the topic. She cut to the chase and asked, “You knew about Jeremy’s affair all along, didn’t you?” 

Joe was caught off guard by her question. Nonetheless, he figured out what was going on. He said, “Has Natalie found out?” 

Skylar knew. She questioned, “You knew long ago, right? Do you all enjoy going out with your mistresses?” 

Birds of a feather flocked together. She did not believe that Joe would be any different. 

Thankfully, she only liked Joe slightly. She hadn’t fallen for him just yet. If not, her heart would be just as broken as Natalie’s. 

However, Skylar still felt bad about it. 

Joe’s gaze darkened. He asked, “I did know about it. Are you overthinking this?” 

Had she been glaring at him with disdain just now? It looked like she was one step away from tattooing fuck off” across her forehead. 

“I wasn’t,” Skylar responded coldly. She continued, “I’m tired. I’ll be sleeping in the guest room tonight.” 

As she spoke, she climbed upstairs. She didn’t even look at Joe. 

Skylar could feel a migraine coming on. How would she handle it if a mistress came knocking? What if she asked Skylar to leave so she could take her place? 

It would be wise to devise a plan for dealing with a mistress now. 

Joe furrowed his brows and trailed after her. He said, “Jeremy is Jeremy and I am myself. You can’t treat us as the same thing. He only got together with Annabelle recently. He would’ve broken up with her now if Natalie hadn’t discovered them.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Skylar stopped. She replied, “They might’ve broken up, but that doesn’t mean they never dated. Since Natalie found out, it means that they hadn’t separated at the time. 

“I know your relationship with Jeremy. You’re defending him from your perspective. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, I don’t think the past will be erased just because he broke up with her. Perhaps our moral standards aren’t aligned. It’s normal that some of our beliefs do not coincide with each other. 

“Right, I hope there won’t be any mistresses causing me a fuss in the future. If you fall for someone, tell me so our divorce won’t be as messy.” 

Joe knew what she was implying. She believed that he and Jeremy were the same. In the past, they were quite similar. They were more interested in their career than women. 

However, Jeremy had lost his mind after getting seduced by his secretary. Joe had no explanation for it until now. 

“There won’t be any mistresses. I won’t fall for any other woman. My heart is locked and the key has been thrown away.”

Skylar froze in surprise. She gazed at Joe thoughtfully before answering, “Okay.” 

Joe hadn’t expected Skylar to suddenly become so understanding. He confirmed, “You believe me?” 

“I do. I’m genuinely exhausted. I’m going to rest now,” Skylar answered. She nodded and headed upstairs to the guest room. 

Joe’s face fell. Although she said she believed him, her actions indicated otherwise. 

“Come back to the master bedroom,” Joe stepped forward and swept Skylar into his arms. 

It was one thing to sleep separately if she wasn’t at home. However, she was home now! 

Skylar was suddenly launched into midair. She was surprised and exclaimed, “Put me down!” 

Joe felt he needed to make her understand the consequences of not believing him. He said, “Didn’t you say you were tired? Let me help you shower.” 

Skylar’s face paled. Was he going to bathe her? 

“N–No need. I can do it myself.” 

“Just in case someone thinks I have another woman outside, I must prove whether I’m dating anyone else tonight.” 

Skylar wasn’t even given the chance to refuse. Joe stripped her of her clothes within seconds.
