Chapter 896

Skylar was surprised when she saw that it was a gorgeous woman she didn’t know. She’d thought that the beauty would avert her eyes when Skylar met her gaze. Yet, she continued staring at Skylar as though she was looking at a woman out to get her man.

Then, she walked over and sat beside Aiken.

Skylar raised her eyebrow. She knew Aiken. Was she his girlfriend?

“Aiken, I’ve finally got to see you. You keep telling me you’re busy when I call. So this is what you were up to. Going on dates with other women?” She hooked an arm around Aiken’s. She questioned him pitifully. Skylar could tell that she adored him and missed him greatly.

Aiken stiffened. Then, he peeled her arm off and shot a glare at

her.

Skylar could only pick her glass up and sip at her water to hide her awkwardness. She would only add to the

misunderstanding if she said anything else.

“I haven’t seen you in a month. I miss you so much.” Her smile froze on her face. Her arm was bruised from where he’d pulled her off him. Her heart clenched at Aiken’s glare. Terror

coursed through her. She’d been too impulsive.

“Do you remember what I told you the last time we met?” Aiken asked coldly.

It sounded like a casual question, but her heart sank upon hearing it.

She recalled how she’d been told in no uncertain terms that they were nothing more than sexual partners when she’d been sleeping with Aiken. Apart from that, she was to fuck off after he paid her off. If she harbored delusions for him, she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

Someone had told her that she was the woman Aiken had kept with him for the longest. Sometimes, he’d bring her to see his friends. She thought she was different to him.

Was it because…

“Is she your new lover?” She couldn’t hide the jealousy in her

tone.

Skylar immediately explained, “We’re just friends. We’re only eating together because we’ve just been visiting a friend of ours. We’re not together in that way, not to mention the fact that I’m already married.”

Aiken pursed her lips while Skylar desperately tried to explain that she had nothing to do with Aiken. His friends would

immediately be able to tell that he was pissed.

It wasn’t because of Skylar. It was because of the woman beside him who couldn’t follow the rules he’d put down for her. He hadn’t wanted to Skylar to see that side of him. Now that she’d been exposed to it all of a sudden, he was furious.

She noticed the ring on Skylar’s finger. She knew in that moment she’d done an idiotic thing!

Aiken’s icy glare scared her. She stood up and apologized to Skylar. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you! I–I was just joking. Please don’t take this the wrong way. Don’t misunderstand me. I… Do continue your meal. I won’t disturb you guys.”

She couldn’t help but tremble out of fear and nearly tripped as she escaped.

Aiken was expressionless.

Skylar had no idea how to respond. She merely said, “Okay.”

The atmosphere remained a little awkward after she left. Thankfully, their food was served.

Skylar ate silently.

After a few minutes, Aiken said, “Sorry for what happened just

now.”

“It’s alright,” replied Skylar with a smile.

She wasn’t interested in Aiken’s private affairs. After all, everyone has their own life and secrets. They were not obligated to explain them.

Aiken’s eyes darkened.

“Skylar?”

Just as Skylar was about to head to the toilet to get a reprieve from the awkwardness, she heard her name being called.

When she looked up, she saw John. He was followed closely by Joe. They’d just come in and hadn’t sat down.
