My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1769

Joe and Skylar sat in silence for a long time; each lost in their thoughts.

It wasn't until Vivian had fallen asleep that Joe finally spoke, his voice barely audible. "Lately, Vivian keeps mentioning seeing Grandma Viola. I can't shake the feeling it's a sign. Like… one day, Vivian might follow her and leave us."

Skylar's chest tightened. She hadn't expected Joe to voice the same fear that had haunted her since Vivian first brought up Viola.

She knew Viola would never harm Vivian. But the thought lingered. How exactly would that happen?

"One day, we'll have to leave Vivian too. All we can do is cherish every moment we have with her," Skylar murmured.

The future was uncertain, and Viola's intentions remained unclear, but Skylar resolved to focus on the present.

Joe's tense expression softened as her words sank in. "When we get back to Jipsburg, what would you like to eat?"

Skylar replied with a smile, "Vivian loves that Cantorian restaurant. Let's go there."

"Sounds perfect," Joe replied, the tension easing from his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Simona sat at a café, her gaze fixed on a luxury car dealership across the street. She spotted Aiken entering the showroom, Zera trailing closely behind.

They had stopped hiding from the paparazzi and the public. The rumors and gossip no longer bothered them. Everyone seemed to feel something positive was on the horizon for them.

Simona sneered. Zera was proving to be quite capable—accomplishing what Wendy never could. The thought irritated her. Wendy deserved better, and Aiken? He lacked the vision or luck to see it.
