Chapter 1074

After discussing with Joe, Skylar moved back to Yancey Residence. On the way, Joe called her to let her know he had arranged for someone to renovate the house she had just purchased.

The renovations would soon be completed.

The house had just been handed over to her. Since she had been busy, she hadn’t had time to look for a renovation company. But now that Joe had taken care of it, she wouldn’t have to worry about it.

Once she arrived at Yancey Residence, Janine and the others encouraged her to look on the bright side. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Skylar reassured them, expressing that they shouldn’t worry.

The situation was a bit complicated, and she couldn’t explain everything right now. She decided to wait a couple of days before giving them the whole story.

After ensuring that Janine and the others were less concerned about her, she went to meet Natalie.

The two agreed to meet at a fondue restaurant. It was lunchtime, and the place was not very crowded. They both loved eating at this old favorite.

Natalie had arrived before Skylar.

“I ordered all the dishes you like. Look at the menu and see if there’s anything else you want,” Natalie said as she pushed the menu toward Skylar.

“There’s nothing else. What you ordered is plenty,” Skylar replied, not even glancing at the menu. Natalie knew exactly what she liked to eat.

Of course, Skylar also knew what Natalie enjoyed. Whenever they planned to eat together, the one who arrived first usually ordered so they wouldn’t have to wait for the food to come after the other person arrived,

They both could eat fondue every day without getting tired of it.

After Skylar took a few sips of water, Natalie finally voiced her confusion. “What’s going on with you and Joe?”

Since last night, Natalie had been filled with questions. She didn’t understand what it meant that she hadn’t considered divorcing Joe, and a nagging fear crept in that Joe might have brainwashed Skylar.

Natalie wondered if Skylar was seriously considering becoming the woman behind him.

Skylar observed Natalie’s worried expression and said, “Let’s eat while I explain. Don’t rush me. Have you been hearing me talk about negative items lately?”

“Yeah,” Natalie replied.

“Then let’s start from there…”

Natalie listened in astonishment while she continued to eat. The concept of negative items had already seemed metaphysics, and now Skylar was saying something about someone plotting behind the scenes, like the situation with Jeremy.

They needed to figure out who was really behind it all.

Natalie’s head spun, trying to comprehend everything, but she eventually pieced it together.

“So, you and Joe are just putting on a show? That Lizzie isn’t really Joe’s fiancée?”

Skylar nodded with a smile. “Exactly.”

Natalie dipped a piece of prawn into the bubbling cheese fondue, savoring the rich flavor. “So, I was worrying for nothing yesterday?”

“I’ll treat you to this meal,” Skylar said as she handed over a bottle of iced lemon tea.

Natalie raised two fingers. “One meal isn’t enough. I want two meals.”

“Fine, you win.”

“You’re like a rich girl now. How lucky am I to have a rich friend?”

Regardless of the situation, Natalie’s uplifting spirit always brought joy. After finishing their fondue, the two decided to stroll around the nearby mall.

They came across an ice cream shop famous for its delicious treats. After the fondue, they both craved ice cream to cool off.

As they leisurely enjoyed their ice cream, they debated whether to head upstairs to shop for clothes and shoes.

While they were chatting happily, someone suddenly sat down before them.

They both looked up immediately. It was a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask, obscuring her face.
