Chapter 1121
Mona Silva asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Is there a problem with your phone signal? Or is the bar too loud for you to hear me? Forget it, I’ll wait for you for ten more minutes. If you’re not here in ten minutes, I’m going home.”
Mona sounded a bit irritated. When she hung up, she grumbled that no man should keep a girl waiting for so long.
Annie’s hand trembled uncontrollably as she held her phone. Hearing Mona’s attitude toward Steven, it felt like she was being coy. Their relationship seemed more than just ordinary friends or colleagues.
As the realization hit her, Annie’s expression changed dramatically. She immediately looked at
Steven.
No wonder Steven had been so cold toward her during their last encounter. He treated her with less warmth than a stranger.
Taking a deep breath, she felt tears prick in her eyes.
“Steven, after realizing my feelings for you, you’ve already moved on, haven’t you? You’re treating that woman well, aren’t you? Does she… compare to me?” Annie whispered.
But her words felt like a soliloquy. She knew Steven wouldn’t hear her and wouldn’t respond Just then, Steven’s phone rang again. Her expression shifted when she saw that it was another call from Skylar.
Skylar…
Suddenly, she felt a sense of calm wash over her.
“177-”
Joe read out a phone number. Skylar noted it down and then dialed it.
The ringtone sounded a few times before a familiar voice came through.
“This is Annie. I still have your number saved,” Annie said.
Skylar was surprised by Annie’s casual admission
This was Annie’s new number, which Paul had just obtained.
“Ms. Silver, my brother is with you, right?” pleasantries.
Skylar cut straight to the chase, skipping any
It had been over half an hour since Natalie had texted her, and she knew there was plenty of

time for something to happen.
Annie chuckled softly. “Are you worried I might get back together with your brother?”
Skylar paused for a moment before answering, “I respect my brother’s choices. Who he chooses to be with is his decision.”
“You and your brother have quite similar personalities. You both seem to make decisions you stick to. When you love someone, you love them. When you don’t, you don’t,” Annie said, a hint of nostalgia in her voice.
For some reason, despite being on the phone, she felt no hesitation in sharing her thoughts with Skylar.

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....
