Chapter 1016
1/2
Skylar’s thoughts drifted back to the two letters from Viola and then to her own rebirth.
She realized that her rebirth had not only changed her fate but also affected the lives of those around her. It was like the butterfly effect–small ripples causing unpredictable consequences.
She wondered if this could have influenced Gloria’s health as well. Skylar’s face paled at that possibility.
As soon as Gloria steadied herself, she noticed Skylar’s sudden paleness. She immediately guessed Skylar must be worried about her.
Gloria said with a reassuring smile, “I’m fine, Skye. I just stood up too fast and felt a bit dizzy. Nothing to worry about.”
“Alright, I’ll help you to the table.” She stepped forward to take Gloria from Edgar’s hands.
Gloria smiled warmly and nodded. “Let’s go. It’s time to eat.”
Just as they sat down, Joe arrived.
“Traffic was terrible,” he explained briefly.
Gloria huffed, “We waited so long, the food’s gone cold. Hurry up and eat.”
“Alright.” Joe agreed, his gaze shifting to Skylar as he approached the table. Seeing her pale face, Joe was worried about her.
He wondered what had happened to her after she had gone to work that day. Alexander had kept everything tightly under wraps, revealing no hint of what was happening. As for Skylar, she seemed to be hiding it well, but Joe could tell something had shifted in her mood.
She was hiding something.
“You two looked so good in your wedding photos. Have you booked the hotel yet?” Gloria asked, making sure everything was on track.
Since the photoshoot was over, the next step was to secure the venue and ensure the wedding proceeded as planned.*
Joe nodded and said, “We booked it before heading abroad.”
Listening to Joe and Gloria discuss wedding photos and the venue, Skylar felt her chest grow heavier with each word. They gradually noticed Skylar’s face growing paler as the conversation continued, and her silence became concerning.
Sensing something was off, Gloria asked, “Skye, is something bothering you? You don’t look well.”
In all the time Gloria had known Skylar, this was the first time she had seen her so distracted, her face pale and distant, as if she were either unwell or troubled by something.
Joe kept his eyes locked on Skylar.
“I’m fine, Grandma. I think it’s just the jet lag from coming back from Fachington. I haven’t fully adjusted yet, but I’ll be better once I get some rest in a few days Skylar explained with a smile.
“Alright then, but make sure you rest well these days. If you feel unwell, go to the hospital, okay?” Gloria reminded her with concern.
Verodded in agreement. After dinner, Gloria was feeling tired, so she headed upstairs to sleep.
idence again tomorrow. Edgar, let’s try to

convince Grandma to go to the hospital for a thorough check–up.”

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
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....
