Chapter 462
Skylar called Joe back, but he didn’t answer. Watching the traffic light turn red at the intersection, she smiled wryly at the coincidence—they’d missed each other’s calls.
However, it was no big deal. They could just discuss it at home. Steven and Annie’s situation wouldn’t be resolved overnight anyway.
Just as she entered Galaxy Villa, Joe’s call came in. “I was playing basketball,” Joe explained why he had missed her call.
Skylar offered a slight nod. “No worries. It’s nothing urgent. I’ve just finished a movie. Enjoy your game. Are you coming home for dinner?”
Joe paused before responding, “I’ll be having dinner with Rowan and the others. I’l
be home late, so if you have anything important, call Paul.”
“Got it,” Skylar replied.
After ending the call, Skylar went upstairs to change her clothes. Then, she headed
to the kitchen to make a simple pasta dish.
Scrolling through Instagram, Natalie’s post of a candlelit dinner caught her eye. The
romantic ambiance spoke volumes, even without Natalie or Jeremy in the picture.
She realized her worries about them were unfounded.
Next, she checked Annie’s profile. There were no recent updates. Just as she was
about to exit, a new post appeared.
It was a photo of two clasped hands with the caption, “I only wish for eternity in this
life with you.”
Skylar frowned. This would surely move Steven, a reflection of every girl’s dream.
Annie knew how to capture a man’s heart. Steven, who had never been in love before, would be even more enraptured.
Her public declaration on Instagram would surely strengthen his feelings.
A sudden wave of disgust washed over Skylar, like an annoying fly buzzing around
her. The delicious pasta before her lost its appeal.

2/2
Annabelle had just returned from the private maternity hospital she’d chosen for complete privacy. She had undergone the examinations with peace of mind,
knowing she wouldn’t encounter anyone she knew.
Going for a prenatal check–up alone was hard enough, and it was even harder now that she couldn’t reach her child’s father. Jeremy remained unresponsive, neither answering calls nor replying to her WhatsApp messages.

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....
