Chapter 395
“I don’t need you poking into my affairs or speculating about Skylar. She’s not the type of woman you think she is. I’m leaving if you don’t need anything else,” Joe said, about to walk away.
As Joe reached the door, Rowan finally reacted and exclaimed, “You’re really married?”
Joe glanced back at Rowan. His glance made Rowan understand that Joe wasn’t joking.
After the door closed, Rowan called Jenny.
“Joe is already married. Can you think of me now?” Rowan asked.
Jenny took a deep breath.
“So even you know Joe’s married now. Is he making Skylar’s existence known to everyone around him?”
Listening to Jenny’s despondent response, Rowan felt pain and jealousy.
“Yeah, he told me. I’ve met Skylar before, but I didn’t know they were secretly married,” Rowan admitted truthfully.
Jenny was silent for several seconds before she spoke again. “Do you think Joe likes her?”
That question left Rowan momentarily unsure of how to respond. “He seems to care a lot about Skylar.” But he had no idea if Joe loved her or not.
Earlier, he had asked Joe directly, and Joe didn’t give a straight answer. Joe also said he was married and was not getting a divorce, indicating he was quite satisfied with Skylar.
Jenny fell silent again for a few more seconds. “In another month, I’ll finish my studies here and return to Jipsburg.”
Rowan was excited to hear Jenny was coming back. “Let me know when you’re coming back, I’ll pick you up at the
airport!”
Jenny replied faintly, “Okay.”
Maisy had no choice but to return to the Williams family.
The house was eerily quiet. Even the household staff moved about quietly.
Samuel’s work had almost stopped due to the hospital incident, so he was confined to staying at home.
Peter and his father had gone to the company, and when Maisy asked Peter about the situation, it seemed they were doing their best to salvage what losses they could, but their company was on the brink of collapse.
Kenny was also at home and would only return to work the next day.
Everyone was hiding away in their rooms.
Chapter 395
As for Sadie, she was probably resting alone in her room.
Maisy passed by Sadie’s room on her way back to her room and paused briefly before quickly moving on.
She didn’t want to stir up any trouble.
She quietly returned to her room and found Kenny waiting for her there.
“Where did you go?” Kenny asked.
“I went to see Janine, hoping that, since she’s my biological mother, she might help convince Skylar to come back. But I don’t know what Skylar told her. Janine was very firm,” Maisy lied without batting an eye.
Kenny hadn’t seen Maisy earlier and had feared she might follow Skylar’s example and leave while the Williams family was in turmoil. It turned out he was overthinking it..
Maisy wasn’t that heartless.
He stood up, walked over to Maisy, and hugged her. In a moment of impulse, he kissed her.
Maisy responded eagerly.
As they kissed passionately, they were unaware that the door was not fully closed.
Samuel stood outside the door, shocked at the scene before him. He had only come to see if Maisy had returned, but what he saw was beyond his expectations.
“Kenny, Maisy, you… you two…”
He was flabbergasted. Kenny and Maisy were siblings, and yet they were kissing.
