Chapter 355
However, she and Joe still had to live on in the future, so she had to maintain their image.
Joe took a deep glance at her and said, “Her mom lost her life to save me. I take care of her just to fulfill her mom’s last wish.”
Skylar was surprised by Joe’s sudden explanation, not knowing how to respond for a moment. “Yeah, it should be so.”
Luckily, the restaurant served the dishes quickly. As the dishes were served one by one, Skylar deliberately ignored the unclear thoughts in her mind while eating.
The dishes served in the Taegu restaurant were delicious. She rarely ate there last time and only vaguely
remembered that Natalie took her there once.
Joe had to return to the hotel after lunch because he indeed had a video conference to attend, so Skylar
went to a nearby beach.
In the evening, Skylar received a message from Joe saying he would be unable to have dinner with her.. Jenny’s condition had suddenly changed, and she was taken into the operating room again, so he went to the hospital.
Skylar went to dinner by the pedestrian street where she had been before. There were many snacks. She walked around, ate the snacks and took a lot of pictures.
She returned to the hotel around 10:00 pm, but Joe had yet to return. She then packed her luggage. She thought perhaps Joe wouldn’t go to the airport with her the next day.
It was about 2:00 am when Joe returned.
He opened the door very softly. But Skylar couldn’t sleep soundly in the hotel, so even the subtle sound. still woke her up. She looked at the door and asked, “You’re back?”
“Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep. I’m going to take a shower,” Joe whispered. His low voice carried a hint of gentleness under the night sky. Skylar hummed, turned over and continued to sleep peacefully.
Joe got into bed about half an hour later. He hugged Skylar and gave her a very light peck on the cheek. Skylar felt it.
She fell back to sleep after waking up earlier, but somehow, she gradually became wide awake, clearly feeling him getting into bed.
To him, she should have been asleep.
So, his kiss…
Skylar’s heart trembled slightly. Perhaps she was overthinking. She soon heard Joe’s steady breathing.
Did he fall asleep so quickly?
If she hadn’t personally seen his insomnia before, she would now suspect that he was playing the victim by talking about his insomnia.
Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep again.
Some people fell asleep late at night and had beautiful dreams. On the other hand, some people couldn’t sleep as the sky darkened.
In the Williams Residence, in Maisy’s room, a workout had just ended.
Kenny glanced at the time and said, “It’s 3:00 am. Let’s sleep. We still have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning.”
There wasn’t anyone at home, so he and Maisy ended up sleeping in the same room. Probably because they had just been together, both of them had strong needs for each other.
Maisy had just returned to bed after taking a shower. When she was casually browsing Instagram on her phone, she suddenly saw Skylar’s post. She widened her eyes, seeing Skylar touring around Korel City.
“Look, Skylar isn’t in Jipsburg. She ignored us and didn’t even go to the hospital to take care of Mom. She actually went traveling to Korel City instead! She is so heartless and cruel!”
Kenny was initially a little tired and sleepy. Upon hearing what Maisy said, he immediately looked at Maisy’s phone. It was Skylar’s Instagram. The first picture was clearly Korel City. It was a photo of the beach with an amazing view.
He suddenly became extremely gloomy. “I thought she was just mad at us. We had neglected her before, so it’s normal for her to throw some tantrums, but I’ve never expected her to disregard Mom’s life and go on a trip!”
“Kenny, she hates me a lot. Why don’t you send her a private message and give her a piece of your mind!” Maisy rolled her eyes as she came up with the idea.
