Chapter 594
Skylar was stunned for a moment. She said, “I don’t think so. I’ve always been like that. Your palm is probably too warm. Usually, a man’s body temperature is often higher than that of a woman.”
Why was Joe so hung up on the temperature of her hand?
Skylar asked, “Aren’t you going to pick Jenny up?”
Joe replied expressionlessly, “Rowan will pick her up. Let’s head to the Pearlhall Residence to see Grandma.”
“Oh, alright.”
In the airport, Jenny paled when Joe hung up on her.
“Busy? What could Joe be busy with? Shouldn’t he be excited to see me as soon as possible?”
She’d never wanted Rowan to pick her up. She only wanted Joe to come. With that, it would be convenient for her to move into Galaxy
Villa.
Jenny has been attending university in Korel City for the past four years. She hadn’t returned once. She wanted Joe to visit her occasionally so that everyone in Jipsburg would know that she held a special place in Joe’s heart.
She also knew that distance made the heart grow fonder. She wanted Joe’s adoration for her to increase further.
However, she definitely hadn’t done so for him to get married silently. There seemed to be a barrier between them, and it was even worse than when she’d been in Korel City.
Jenny’s eyes welled up with tears. Even though she’d collected her

baggage, she didn’t walk out.
In the end, she gave in and called Rowan. She said, “Rowan, I’m back. Can you pick me up at the airport?”
Rowan arrived quickly.
The second Jenny saw Rowan, she fell into his arms, sobbing,” Rowan, Joe doesn’t care about me anymore. I thought he’d be ecstatic to know I was back and would put everything away to pick me up. In the end, he hadn’t come.”
Rowan froze. He then consoled, “He’s probably busy and doesn’t have time to fetch you. Isn’t it the same for me to pick you up?”
How was Joe better than him? Jenny fell for him despite knowing that they were impossible.
Jenny cried and shook her head. She said, “I’m happy you’ve come to fetch me. However, I don’t understand how he’s so calm despite knowing I’m back. It’s like my arrival home is just another day in his life. I’m just a stranger to him. He used to treat me so well before Skylar came into the picture. Why has he become so cold toward me?”
Skylar was the source of all this.
The second she saw Skylar in Korel City, she knew that things were about to change against her will.
In the end, everything turned out as she had expected.
Rowan sighed helplessly. He said, “Let’s not think about that. It’s useless and will affect your mood instead.”
“I’ll take you back to my place. I’ll live somewhere else while you stay at mine. The renovations to your house will be done soon. I’ll make sure the smell is gone before you move back in.”
Jenny nodded and agreed, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
This was her only option.
After getting into Rowan’s car, Jenny suddenly changed her mind. She asked, “Can you take me to Pearlhall Residence? I would like to see Mrs. Martin Senior. I haven’t seen her in years. Since I’m back, I
should visit her.”
Rowan had no such ideas. He said, “Alright, I’ll take the opportunity to visit her, too. I haven’t seen her in a while, as well.”
Jenny continued, “Let’s make a stop when we pass a mall to purchase some jewelry. Mrs. Martin Senior loves them.”
Jenny had to lean into Gloria’s wants.
After buying the jewelry, they set off toward Pearlhall Residence.
They heard joyful chatter as the helpers brought them into the mansion. Rowan and Jenny seldom heard Gloria laughing so uninhibitedly.
They heard a voice that sounded like Skylar. Was she present as well?
