Chapter 120

Skylar took a closer look at Charles‘ injury. “How did this happen? Was it during an action scene?”

Even if it was, they shouldn’t have been so rough.

“Yeah, it was a fight scene. It was a scene with a bunch of people all battling it out. Everyone got really

into it.

“Someone else got both their eyes bruised. This wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t zoned out for a

moment. Let’s go home. I’m starving, Charles said while trying to avoid eye contact. He didn’t want to talk about it.

Steven’s face darkened. He saw how worried Skylar was and said, “Charles is a tough guy. He’ll be fine. Let’s go, Mom’s waiting for us.”

“I miss Mom’s beef ribs!‘ Charles looked like he was drooling.

“I miss all of Mom’s cooking.” Skylar chimed in.

Steven looked at his younger brother and sister as the two walked toward the parking lot.

He clenched his fist and felt like he had failed as a big brother. He didn’t protect them well enough.

Meanwhile, at the Galaxy Villa, Joe was home early. He was reading in the living room from 7:00 pm to 10: 00 pm.

He had been outstationed for a week. If he didn’t remind himself that he was married, the silence in the villa could almost make him feel like he was still single.

He glanced at the clock. It was 11:30 pm.

Was it possible that Skylar hadn’t been home as well while he was away?

Joe rubbed his temples. He remembered her cold and pale face from earlier in the hospital.

She still seemed to have feelings for Christopher.

When Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa, it was already 12:30 am. She was spending time with her family and didn’t realize the time passed.

She was surprised to see Joe. “Mr. Martin, you’re back.”

She thought he would be away for a couple of days. After all, he had just reconciled with Annie. Maybe he would want to spend more time with her.

Joe looked at Skylar.

After Skylar greeted him, she headed upstairs without another word.

“Wait a minute,” Joe called after her.

Skylar looked at him. “Do you need something, Mr. Martin?”

Her heart sank. Was he going to ask for a divorce right now?

She had been bracing for this moment, but it still felt unsettling.

“If you’re free tomorrow, come with me to the Pearlhall Residence.” Joe looked at Skylar deeply.

Were Skylar’s emotions affected by Christopher? Someone as useless as him didn’t deserve her love and

care.

Skylar was a little taken aback. Joe wasn’t asking for a divorce but to visit Gloria.

“Sure.” She nodded.

As she was about to head upstairs, she remembered something and said, “Thanks for helping me out at

the hospital today.”

He was the reason Paul offered to replace a lawyer to deal with Christopher and Amelia. If Joe and Paul hadn’t been there, those two could have caused a lot of trouble.

Joe stared into Skylar’s eyes. “You had feelings for him for years. Can you just move that easily?”

That was right. She wasted years of her time with him.

Her eyes darkened in regret. How many more years did she have to waste on someone like that?

She regretted the time she spent with Christopher. She wished she could go back in time and tell herself how stupid and blind she had been.
