Vera glanced at the ring on her finger and sneered. “How much longer can you keep this up, Skylar?”

It was 10:00 pm, and Joe still hadn’t returned to Galaxy Villa. Skylar took out the two letters Viola had written her and carefully reviewed them.

As she read, a decision suddenly formed in her mind. She picked up her phone and called Joe, but it went

unanswered.

Taking a deep breath, she sent him a text. “Are you coming home tomorrow? I need to see you.”

The message disappeared into the void, receiving no response from Joe.

One week had passed–there weren’t many days left. Before bed, she checked her phone again, but Joe still hadn’t replied.

If he didn’t respond, she would find him tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Joe was in a noisy environment -a gala dinner. A crowd of people surrounded him, and the conversations were mostly repetitive.

After hearing the same topics for what felt like an eternity, he started to feel bored. Without realizing it, he finished his drink and absentmindedly pulled out his phone to check for any messages.

There was a missed call and a WhatsApp message from Skylar. His expression darkened as he read her

text.

Seeing Joe’s disinterest in continuing the conversation, the nearby guests tactfully dispersed. Just then, someone approached him.

“I heard you’ve been avoiding these kinds of events lately. What brought you here today?”

The familiar voice belanged to Vera. Joe put his phone down and looked up at Vera, who was standing right in front of him. He said, “I happened to have some free time.”

Vera smiled graciously, her eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement. “I also just happened to have some

free time.”

In truth, Vera had rushed over. She was originally having dinner with friends when one of them informed her that Joe was attending this gala dinner. Without hesitation, she contacted a stylist to get ready and hurried over.

She couldn’t help but wonder what Joe had seen on his phone. He seemed cold and distant, as if pushing everyone away, making it hard for anyone to approach him.

Earlier, she had watched as the people surrounding Joe gradually backed away. Their caution was evident as they didn’t dare to disturb him any longer.

Despite being more handsome than many popular celebrities, his intimidating presence was overwhelming. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Vera mentally sighed but couldn’t help but think that it was precisely this unique quality of Joe that captivated her. She couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter.

Vera couldn’t hide the affection In her eyes as she gently said, “Your glass is empty.

Joe glanced at his empty glass and casually set it down, leaning back against the wall as if he had something on his mind.

Just as Vera felt her heart racing uncontrollably, Joe suddenly directed his gaze to the ring on her finger and asked, “Who gave you that ring?”

Vera’s heart skipped a beat at the question. Following Joe’s gaze, she looked at the ring on her finger.
