Chapter 215
“Why aren’t you saying anything, Skye?” Natalie asked.
“I’m just listening to you. I think you should occasionally send Jeremy some food. He might be touched and work even harder,” Skylar replied, unable to voice her suspicions. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
It would be best if it was just a coincidence. Natalie’s and Jeremy’s love for each other was extremely strong.
Natalie’s eyes lit up. “You’re right. Like a good wife, I’ll go to our usual restaurant and pack a surprise for him.”
The last time she had taken her medical report to him, he had been surprised and delighted.
Natalie hadn’t thought about it much before. Marriage shouldn’t be one–sided. He had to go on a business trip the next day. Having an encounter in his office tonight
gan would be pretty wild.
Natalie touched her flushed face. She was about to grab a condom from the bedside table but changed her mind. They were trying for a baby now, so there was no need for precautions.
She knew that his office had a room for international meetings where he sometimes rested. Natalie had always wanted to try it when they had been dating, but she had forgotten about it.
“Bye, Skye. I’m heading out now!” Natalie exclaimed.
Skylar glanced at the disconnected call, recalling the conversation in the woods. That man’s voice had been really similar to Jeremy’s. She hoped she was mistaken and was merely thinking too
much.
Joe finished his video conference and noticed that Skylar wasn’t there. He saw her message on WhatsApp and replied, “My video conference has ended.”
Then, he went upstairs to shower. He wasn’t worried about Skylar’s safety at the hot
spring resort. Security patrolled at this hour, and everyone who visited had to register.
Skylar received Joe’s message and headed back. She hadn’t gone far, so she quickly returned to the villa.
When she didn’t see him, she assumed he had gone to the hot spring first. So, Skylar grabbed the swimsuit the staff had brought and went upstairs.
In the bathroom, Skylar opened the door and walked in. She had rushed back and was now slightly sweaty and uncomfortable. She didn’t even notice Joe coming out.
Joe was drying his hair with a towel without a bath towel around his waist, Seeing Skylar half undressed, he said, “You…”
Upon hearing that, Skylar tensed up and turned her head.
She saw Joe’s body still glistening with water. His perfect physique and handsome face were everything one could ask for. She could clearly see a few drops of water trailing down from his chest.
Skylar had known that Joe had a good body, but she hadn’t expected it to be this impressive. She couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Satisfied with what you see?” Joe tossed the towel aside and casually wrapped a bath towel around his slim waist. Then, he walked toward Skylar.
Skylar stepped back instinctively. She was still shocked by what she had seen. “…”
Joe leaned in close to her ear, his voice seductive as he said, “You won’t lose out by being my wife, Skylar.”
Skylar was utterly stunned by Joe’s words. Swallowing hard, she replied, “And your won’t lose out by being my husband, Joe.”
From a purely visual point, she felt that neither of them would lose out. However, she knew Joe didn’t love her. Their relationship wasn’t about feelings.
