Chapter 234
Skylar jumped in shock. “Steven, our marriage was arranged. We have feelings for each other now and hope that our relationship will develop more smoothly.”
How could there be like or dislike between them?
She and Joe were already married. Although they had decided to continue their relationship, they were actually just living together.
In the future, they would have an extra bed and meal companion, at most.
Joe frowned slightly. In his opinion, Skylar’s attitude made it seem like she was trying to distance herself from their relationship. This made him sure that she didn’t like him.
Steven thought Skylar’s answer was very normal and within expectations.
After all, they had been introduced to each other by Gloria and had only gotten married because they had a good impression of each other.
is question
had indeed been a bit blunt.
“Okay, it seems that you two get along well. If you have any problems, you can discuss them together to resolve them,” Steven said.
There was nothing wrong with having an arranged marriage.
Skylar and Christopher had known each other for so many years, and look how that had ended. Christopher had turned out to be a scumbag who had still betrayed Skylar in the end.
“Okay, don’t worry.” Joe promised. He would give Skylar all the respect he could.
Steven was very satisfied. He hadn’t expected Joe to be so easy–going. He had heard some people say that one must have a strong heart to get in touch with Joe.
They had also said that one must be very careful when speaking with him as one might anger him without realizing it.
Skylar finally felt relieved when she saw that Steven had finally accepted that it was really Joe and eased his attitude toward him.
After dinner, Steven, Skylar, and Joe went their separate ways.
As Steven took the subway home, he was still a little confused. Suddenly, he realized something.
With Joe’s status, he shouldn’t have to go on an arranged date to get married. Why would he suddenly agree to his elders‘ arrangement?
Could it be that he was lacking in some aspect?
Now that Steven had thought of this possibility, he feared that he might not be able to sleep tonight. He
decided that he would indirectly ask Skylar about it next time.
Yet, he was a grown man. He couldn’t talk to his sister about this kind of thing. Suddenly, Steven felt a headache coming. Perhaps he had drunk too much beer.
Either way, Skylar and Joe were already married, so Steven could wait and see. He would think of a solution when he came back from his business trip.
He couldn’t let Skylar down.
The next day, a car suddenly stopped in front of the gates of Gardner Manor.
Although there would normally be guests, given the fact that it was a Saturday, the maid, Suzy Hayes, would normally know about any guests who were visiting one day in advance.
When Suzy saw that the people who got out of the car were all strangers, she asked in confusion, “Excuse me, may I know who you are?”
“We’re here to see Mr. Gardner, Jeffrey said directly. He had already adopted a somewhat senior attitude. He had his own plans. If possible, he wanted to make sure Skylar stayed with John. After all, with John as a backer, Williams Group would rise higher in Jipsburg.
Perhaps even Martin Group would treat them differently for Gardner family’s sake. So, Jeffrey needed to ensure that Skylar stayed with John.
It would be best if he could expose their relationship.
Peter looked at the Gardner family’s magnificent manor enviously. In Jipsburg, there were only a few families with such a profound background. Compared to such families, the Williams family seemed Inadequate.
Suzy didn’t recognize Jeffrey, but seeing his demeanor, she was a little unsure and asked, “May I ask who you are?”
“I’m Skylar’s father,” Jeffrey said while standing tall.
Skylar?
