Simona looked at the photo of Lizzie and rolled her eyes in disbelief.

“Seriously? She’s nowhere near as good as Skylar. Even if Joe doesn’t want Skylar anymore, he should at least find someone who’s on her level. How could he pick someone so inferior? It shows that his standards have plummeted ever since he left Skylar.”

As Aiken made his way upstairs, he caught the tail end of Simona’s rant and shook his head helplessly.

He was well–informed and had even had someone look into Lizzie before.

He discovered that Lizzie seemed to have a clean romantic history with no past boyfriends. However, that was mainly because she wasn’t interested in men. Hence, this engagement must be related to Viola, whom Skylar had him to look for.

The details Aiken uncovered about Viola were astonishing. Over 30 years ago, she was well–known throughout Jipsburg City. Today, respected figures like George and Alexander were once friends with her.

Piecing everything together, Aiken began to suspect that Skylar hadn’t actually divorced Joe.

Later that evening, Skylar stepped out of the shower and noticed two missed calls on her phone. They were both from Janine.

Joe was in the guest bathroom washing up when she realized she had forgotten to inform them about her stay. She decided to return Janine’s call.

“Mom?”

“Skye, what time are you coming home tonight?” Janine asked.

“Mom, I’m staying at a friend’s place tonight. I’ll be back tomorrow morning,” Skylar replied.

Earlier in the day, she hadn’t explained much to her family. She wanted to wait until things settled down before discussing it further.

Now, with Joe insisting she stay the night, it seemed she needed to clarify things with her family

tomorrow..

Joe walked over to her as she pondered how to approach the conversation. “Did your mom call?” he

asked.

Skylar nodded. “Yeah, I think we should just tell them the truth tomorrow.”

Joe sat down, drying his hair with a towel. “If you’re unsure how to explain, I can talk to them.”

Upon hearing his words, Skylar looked at him. “No, I’d prefer to handle it. I’ll be home in the morning and can explain everything then.”

Too much had happened regarding her and Joe over the past few days. Joe didn’t insist further. After drying his hair, he pushed Skylar down onto the bed. “Let’s do what we should be doing tonight.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The following day, Skylar took a cab home.

After being worn out by Joe that night before, she felt completely drained. With her back and legs aching, she struggled to muster the strength to drive.

When she returned home, she found Steven was also there. It was a good opportunity to explain things together.

“Mom, Steven, I have something to tell you both,” Skylar said.

Janine immediately set aside what she was doing and washed her hands to join them. Steven looked at Skylar with some concern.

Since the Williams family had acknowledged Skylar, several events had unfolded, each more challenging than the last. If anyone else had gone through what she had, they might have crumbled under the

pressure.

“What is it? Take your time. We’ll face it together as a family, so.don’t worry,” Steven said softly.

Janine glanced at Steven before smiling at Skylar. “Steven is right. He bought back a box of strawberries, and I just washed them. Let’s eat while we talk.”
