Chapter 498
Joe meant what he’d said. He said, “You’re the only one I want to sleep with. I’m not interested in any
other woman. Don’t you worry.”
Before she was about to fall asleep, Skylar retained enough logic to ask him for a guarantee. She said, “If you fall in love with someone in the future, you have to tell me. I hope I won’t be the last to find out.”
His gaze was piercing, as though he could see through her.
“Alright.”
They made love after that.
Once Skylar was knocked out, Joe got out of bed and headed to the study for a conference call.
After the meeting was over, he returned to the bedroom and embraced Skylar. He couldn’t help himself and kissed her forehead with a gentle smile.
He remarked softly, “What do you think about all day?”
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Skylar’s phone lit up from the bedside table. Since it had been muted, Joe merely heard the phone’s vibrations against the wood.
He glanced at it and found that it was an unknown number. Was it a scam call?
He reached over and rejected the call. The stranger did not continue calling.
At the coastline in Korel City, the waves churned under the night sky. The only person on the empty beach was staring at his phone, lost in thought.
When Christopher called Skylar, no one picked up. He chuckled coldly and exclaimed, “Do you no longer love me, Skylar? I don’t believe it! You’ve liked me for so many years and sacrificed so much for me. How could you stop loving me just like that? You’re different from those materialistic women! I was an idiot to dump you for Maisy!
“I’ll find a way to win you back. I won’t let Maisy get away with hurting you. I’ll avenge you!”
He murmured to himself for a while. Then, he checked the time. They would’ve been done by now. He walked to a truck parked by the side of the road.
A man opened the door and got off, pulling his pants on as he went.
He stuck his thumb up and praised, “This woman is not half bad. She’s got a smoking hot figure. Is she really a college student? Although she wasn’t a virgin, the 200 dollars I spent on her was so worth it. Why don’t I give you another 200 dollars to go again? I’m not finished with her.”
Christopher glanced at the money the middle–aged man had stuffed into his hands. He glanced at the time before answering, “Alright, I’ll give you another half an hour.”
He jumped into the truck again.
A woman’s pleading screams tore through the night occasionally.
“Stop touching me!
“Christopher! Christopher, you can’t do this to me! Didn’t you say you were going to treat me well and marry me? Don’t you know that you’re committing a crime? The second I escape, I’m going to make a police report!”
