Chapter 1066

Skylar felt her heart race at his words. As she stared blankly at Joe, he mistook her silence for shock.

“Is it too much to ask you to like me?”

Maybe living together with him would turn out to be too mundane.

“No, I mean, are you sure about this?” Skylar asked earnestly, her gaze steady on Joe.

If they were going to put feelings into this marriage, it would mean that their relationship wouldn’t be as simple as it had been before.

Joe nodded slightly before pulling her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

Moments later, they found themselves on the bed.

A while later, as Joe left marks on her thigh, he looked up at her. His voice was low and husky when he asked, “Do you think I’m serious now?”

Skylar shat her eyes tightly, gripping the bedsheets.

She trembled, a sheen of sweat covering her body. Sometimes, her body could be more honest than her

heart. 1

The news of Joe’s engagement to Lizzie spread like wildfire throughout Jipsburg City. It even took over the entertainment section of the news.i

3:

Lizzie was a violinist who had recently appeared on several reality shows and amassed a large following.

Once the engagement news broke, her name dominated the trending searches. Alongside it was a trending topic about Vera, a well–known socialite in Jipsburg.

Rumors had swirled about Vera being Joe’s true love for a long time.

Many had anticipated an engagement announcement between them. But unexpectedly, it was Lizzie who got engaged to Joe.

Some took the initiative to dig deeper into Lizzie’s background and discovered that she was actually the scion of the Garza family, one of the top families in Adaver.

Lizzie’s lineage could easily rival Vera’s.

During the turbulent rumors, numerous reporters sought to interview Vera. They positioned themselves in locations where she might appear.

At that moment, Vera was shopping at the mall with friends. After their shopping spree, they headed to a

spa.

While relaxing with tea at the spa, they received the shocking news.

Vera’s complexion turned pale upon hearing the announcement.

Shocked at the revelation, her friends couldn’t help but ask, “Vera, what’s going on? How did Joe get engaged to this unknown person?”

“Yeah, didn’t everyone say Joe’s favorite person was you? Weren’t you two supposed to be engaged soon? This Lizzie is just a violin. She can’t compare to you.”

“Could this news be fake? Is it photoshopped?”

“Wow…”

The group exchanged cautious glances, their curiosity tinged with a subtle satisfaction as they watched Vera’s reaction. After all, in this circle, people usually fawned over Vera, who was often regarded as Joe’s true love; her presence was treated with awe and respect.

Although Vera insisted that her relationship with Joe was not what everyone thought, her attitude occasionally betrayed her. Along with her subtle hints and suggestive posts on Instagram, it seemed like there was a playful, emotional tug–of–war between them.

But now, with Joe suddenly announcing his engagement so publicly, it was clear that Vera was completely blindsided.

They had never seen Vera look so pale. “Keep enjoying your tea. I need to step out for a moment,” Vera said abruptly, rising to her feet.

She couldn’t bear to stay there for another minute.

Gripping her phone tightly, she seemed to be battling a whirlwind of emotions inside.
