Chapter 712
Drake asked, “Popcom?”
Skylar’s cheeks warmed at the disbelief in Drake’s voice. She realized it wasn’t every day someone called a doctor over something so trivial.
Drake must think her craving was off the charts.
But Joe’s tone was serious, as if he was discussing something crucial. After a brief pause, Drake finally agreed she could have some, but in moderation.
Once Joe got the all–clear, he told Skylar to wait. A few minutes later, he returned with a large bucket of popcorn. Skylar’s eyes lit up at the sight.
“Go ahead and enjoy it. You shouldn’t have to miss out on such a small pleasure while watching a movie,” Joe said. His eyes reflected the same warmth and sparkle as hers.
Skylar accepted the popcorn, her voice filled with happiness. “Thank you.”
The movie began, starting with lighthearted and cheerful moments. As the plot developed, it grew more intense, leading to a sudden and drastic turn of events.
The main characters, who had been separated due to a misunderstanding, met again but were still burdened by unresolved issues.
After finally clearing up their misunderstandings, the male lead was tragically killed in a car accident. The female lead believed he never loved her, so she married someone else and had children. Years later, she discovered the truth
about his death.
The final scene showed the female lead’s pale, shocked face as she learned the truth. What had begun as a seemingly promising story ended in a surreal, tragic twist.
After the movie ended, Joe turned to Skylar and muttered, “What a terrible movie. Both of them were too stubborn to talk it out. They might as well have been dead from the start.”
He couldn’t help but wonder how Paul had ended up booking such a disappointing movie.
Skyler took a while to recover. The movie wasn’t exactly good or bad, but the separation of two people who loved each other left her melancholic.
Seeing Skylar’s silence, Jon thought the movie had affected her mood. He took her hand as they left the cinema and said “We can talk about anything.”
He meant that she could speak whatever was on her mind.
Misunderstandings often arose from assumptions, and the terrible movie was
a reminder.
Skylar couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, we can talk openly, Don’t worry, I’ll definitely let you know if something is up.”
As they got into the car, Joe’s phone rang with a familiar turie that seemed unusually loud in the confined space.

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....
