Chapter 319
Skylar couldn’t help but wonder if Joe was treating her like a lost child. But despite her inner grumbling, she obediently sent Joe her location.
In less than 20 minutes, Joe arrived in a hurry.
The moment he saw Skylar, he reached out, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her passionately.
Skylar was dumbfounded. What was he…
After the kiss, Joe lowered his head to look at her. With his breath slightly heavy, he
asked, “Why did you go out alone?”
When Joe had rushed back from the hospital, he’d found only Skylar’s suitcase in the room. She had been gone. He had asked Paul, but no one had known where she had
gone.
Skylar hadn’t answered any of his calls. Didn’t she understand the danger?
Skylar, still dazed from the kiss, looked confused. “Can’t I go a
t alone? This is
tourist city, and I had nothing else to do at the hotel, so I went out for a stroll. Did
you… need something?”
Wasn’t Joe supposed to be at the hospital? The person who’d made him rush back to the hospital must be very important to him.
Listening to Skylar’s nonchalant tone, Joe glanced again at the crowded pedestrian
street and suddenly realized his earlier urgency had been somewhat irrational.
For a moment, his expression turned grim.
Seeing this, Skylar pointed to a nearby popular spot and said, “How about we go there and wait in line for a photo?”
Skylar looked at the spot eagerly as she wanted Joe to take a few photos. She was now dressed in a flowing sundress that exuded a fairy–like beauty.
Skylar’s suggestion seemed to make Joe relax a bit. He took her hand, and they walked toward the photo spot.
2/2
Skylar glanced down at their interlocked hands. Joe’s hand fit perfectly in hers, with his warmth providing an unexpected sense of security. For a brief moment, her heart fluttered, and she felt a bit dazed.
Then, a couple ahead of them unexpectedly captured her attention.
Skylar snapped out of her thoughts when she was captivated by the stunning pair embracing each other. They seemed inseparable.
The man tenderly kissed the woman on her forehead. They were clearly a couple deeply in love.
Skylar couldn’t help but think of Joe’s earlier kiss. It had been so different from his
usual aloof demeanor–the kiss had been so passionate and intense..
If they had been back at the hotel, surely they wouldn’t have been able to restrain
themselves.
Skylar’s heart sank as she realized where her thoughts had wandered. That kiss just
now had stirred up emotions in her… leading to uncontrollable places.
When they finally reached the front of the line to take photos, Skylar handed her
phone to Joe. “Could you take a few pictures for me?”

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....
