Chapter 51
Chapter 51
Hearing Jim’s words, Skyler seemed to grow a little angry then and when he thought about Jocelyn’s gift- giving the night before, he had even taken the opportunity to criticize her. Jocelyn seemed to be a little angry then.
However, she had always been well in control of her emotions that even in response to Howard’s betrayal, she even fought back calmly.
Last night, her appearance at the time had at most been somewhat indifferent.
He raised his gaze and looked at Jim. “It’s not what you think. Also, pretend you know nothing about the marriage certification between us in the future and leave our affairs alone. Don’t talk nonsense when you go out either!”
After Skyler said all this, he entered the elevator immediately. Jim frowned fiercely as he watched the elevator close in front of him. He shrugged helplessly. “OK, whatever you say!”
In the ward.
Jocelyn had never seen Skyler’s expression change like that before. However, Lexie was meeting her face to face and she could see everything as clear as day.
Zayn spoke some words of concern to Lexie and exchanged contact information with Jocelyn before he left.
He had just left when Lexie could not hold herself back and asked, “Jocelyn, did you offend Skyler? He looked particularly foul just now!”
Jocelyn’s eyes flashed. She shook her head. “I’m a nobody, how could I possibly offend him?”
Lexie frowned. “Didn’t you both make it official already? Your relationship with Zayn when you introduced yourself just now was even closer than him! If it were me, I would definitely be unnerved!”
Jocelyn glanced at Lexie. “Is that so? It may just be the way you think, you don’t know…”
Jocelyn could not stand it and shared with her how she gave Skyler a pair of cufflinks and ended up getting criticized by him.
Lexie was stunned when she heard this. There was a trace of sarcasm in her cold expression and she could not help but scoff. “He’s really a narcissist, thinking he’s some golden child. He likely doesn’t know that if the people who pursued you in Mauve University back then were to stand hand to hand, they would circle Mauve City three times over!”
Hearing Lexie’s words, Jocelyn laughed. “He would probably shoot back at me saying that the number of women who pursued him would circle the earth three times over!”
Lexie smirked. “I’m afraid he’s not Gucci, not everyone wants him!”
Jocelyne could not help herself and laugh out loud. She could not help but be absolutely beside herself when she imagined the word “Gucci” being compared with Skyler’s cold expression.
The image was too amusing, she really dared not think too much about it.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lexie continued, “Your discussion ended up that way
yesterday night yet he didn’t spare your dignity at all. You guys even bumped into each other in the hospital after leaving the company, it really, is such a small world!”
Jocelyn’s smile did not reach her eyes. “Since we are bound to meet as enemies, then we shall stay on his path and keep things as they are!”
Leaving others aside, Jocelyn was not to be outdone. A faint smile appeared on Lexie’s cold face. “If we’re talking about strength, Jocelyn is still the strongest!”
She glanced at Jocelyn secretly as she said this. Her tone somewhat unnatural, she added,” Eh… Jocelyn, when will Ch – Davis be over?!”
Jocelyn looked at her and said, “Hold on, I’ll make a call now!”
Lexie exclaimed, “You haven’t called him yet!”
Jocelyn had nothing to say and did not want to answer that. She took out her phone immediately and walked out.
As soon as Jocelyn left, the door of the ward opened again.
Lexie looked up lazily and saw Jim’s handsome, smiling face. “Little sister, you’ve been admitted!”
Lexie snorted. “Who’re you calling sister!”
Jim came over with a smile and sat by the hospital bed. “Don’t say that. We’re broken in body but at least we’re firm in spirit. Spare me a little face!”
Lexie did not even look at him. “Respect is something to be earned, not given by others!” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Lexie being difficult, Jim immediately about how she looked like a little white rabbit at the door of the suite the night before.
He could not help smiling faintly. “Then, I’ll forget about that. Look, we broke our left arms, not only have we been admitted into the same hospital, our wards are next to each other! What a huge showing of fate this is!” Lexie finally gave him a look. “I’d rather throw this kind of fate away!”
As soon as Lexie said this, Jocelyn opened the door and entered.
Jim looked at Jocelyn and thought of what Skyler said just now. His eyes shone but he said nothing
Jocelyn started speaking, “Mr. Rand, please go back to your ward. Lexie is a patient and needs rest!”
Jim raised his eyebrows but did not mind her. “I’m also a patient!”
The corners of Jocelyn’s mouth twitched. “Then you should go back and rest as well!”
Jim recalled Jocelyn’s attitude toward Skyler just now and felt ill at ease. Instead of answering Jocelyn, he looked at Lexie. “Lexie, do you think I need to rest?”
Lexie looked at him coldly. “Of course a patient needs to rest!”
Jim laughed and stared at Lexie’s delicate little face. “What’s there to be afraid of? Come on, let’s hang out, it’s no fun just resting!”
Lexie was stunned, the corners of her mouth hooked up slightly.
Jim’s brain froze for a moment, going blank like the brilliance after a fireworks show. He was stunned for a moment. He looked at Lexie blankly. “You look good when you smile!”
