Chapter 1006
Skylar couldn’t help but be speechless after reading Vera’s message. She wondered who Vera thought she was, acting so high and mighty.
Putting aside whether Vera had the right to say that, her attempt to smear others and appear righteous. was simply absurd.
Skylar decided it wasn’t worth responding. She tossed her phone aside and began her morning routine.
20 minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom. She caught Joe’s gaze as he looked at her, and their eyes locked.
Skylar didn’t know what to say, so she remained silent with a stern expression. Seeing this, Joe broke the silence first. “Vera’s appearance at the bar last night was purely coincidental.”
“I saw your message and understand the situation now. I realize I was wrong about you,” Skylar replied.
Joe noticed Skylar’s calm demeanor and suddenly felt his emotions stir. “So, the photo you forwarded me last night wasn’t out of jealousy?”
The photo was ambiguous enough to be misunderstood. Even Joe had been a bit confused last night.
But Skylar’s current calm demeanor now seemed to suggest she wasn’t bothered at all and was only concerned with the fairness of their marriage. It was clear he was upset about her closeness with Aiken, and the photo was her way of questioning him.
Otherwise, she seemed devoid of any real emotional turmoil.
Skylar was momentarily taken aback by Joe’s mention of jealousy. It was true that seeing Joe and Vera together had stirred something in her. It must have been jealousy. But…
“Is it really that important whether I was jealous or not?”
Joe was momentarily speechless. He felt a surge of agitation that left him profoundly uncomfortable. He threw off the covers, and quickly got out of bed. Then, he bypassed Skylar as he headed straight for the
bathroom.
As Skylar was about to change her clothes, Joe suddenly reopened the bathroom door. Skylar turned at the sound, and Joe said, “Wait for me. Let’s have breakfast together.”
Before Skylar could respond, he shut the door again.
Skylar’s lips twitched in exasperation. At least Joe showered quickly. She decided not to press the matter and waited for him to join her.
After changing into her clothes and applying light makeup, she was ready.
Joe emerged from the bathroom shortly after, dressed swiftly. They had breakfast together.
During the meal, Mike reached out, asking if they wanted to schedule a session to finish the remaining. wedding photos.
Skylar was no longer interested and had lost all excitement about it. However, Joe agreed after a few seconds of silence. After breakfast, they went downstairs directly.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
