Chapter 861

Upon hearing that Skylar would be back after dinner, Joe’s smile faded, and his tone became more neutral. “Alright.”

A few days later, during Skylar’s lunch break, Natalie invited the former to the mall. Natalie was preparing for a trip to Fachington with Austin the next day, which would last at least three months.

“I’ll bring you a gift when I come back. Fachington is known for its romance, I’m really looking forward to this trip. Even though it’s for work, it’s bound to be an unforgettable experience, completely different from anything else.”

Natalie’s eyes were filled with excitement for the upcoming journey.

Skylar smiled and asked, “You’re going for three months. Have you got everything ready?”

Natalie nodded, taking a sip of her smoothie. “Yes, I’m all set. Don’t worry, I can take care of myself just fine. If I need anything, I can buy it over there.

“Mr. Powell said he has a mansion in Fachington. When he’s free from filming, I can visit the mansion and even make red wine myself. Mr. Powell is really quite the hidden big shot!”

Listening to Natalie constantly refer to Austin, Skylar felt that Natalie might have some budding feelings for Austin. She chose not to probe further, sensing that Natalie might be unaware of her feelings.

Suddenly, Natalie exclaimed, “Hey, is that Rowan and Vera?”

Natalie motioned for Skylar to look over. Skylar followed her gaze to a nearby café, where Vera and Rowan had just sat down together.

Noticing the change in Skylar’s expression, Natalie asked in a low voice, “How are things between you and Joe? I’ve been too busy to ask lately.”

Lately, there had been a lot of rumors about Vera and Joe.

Although some news had surfaced, it was quickly retracted. However, new rumors continued to emerge without any concrete evidence. It was just speculative reports by minor reporters.

Natalie thought, “Engaged? Nonsense! Joe and Skylar are already married, so what engagement are they talking about?”

Skylar said calmly, “The situation between Joe and I is still the same. It’s neither good nor bad.”

She actually didn’t know how to describe their relationship.

A few days ago, she and Joe had agreed to prepare for a divorce. But recently, it seemed like Joe had forgotten about it. Their relationship had somehow become much closer again.

Natalie nodded. “Being neither good nor bad is quite decent. People are interacting, and I don’t believe that someone as beautiful as you could be around Joe every day without catching his interest.

“As for those ridiculous rumors online, don’t believe them. They’re all baseless fabrications and completely false.”

As they spoke, they didn’t pay much attention to Vera and Rowan.

Soon, Skylar caught sight of Jenny in her peripheral vision.

She wondered if Jenny was out of the hospital already. She had heard from Paul about Jenny’s situation,

and Joe was already aware of the secret Skylar had discovered about Jenny.

Skylar had a strong feeling that Jenny still had secrets.

“Are you curious about what Rowan and Vera are up to? Should we go say hi?” Natalie asked when she noticed Skylar staring absentmindedly in their direction.

Skylar glanced at the time and said, “It’s time for me to head back to work. Let’s go.”

“I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow,” Skylar continued.

“No need to trouble yourself. The studio is sending someone to pick me up tomorrow. I’ll be going to the airport with Mr. Powell and Hank.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Alright.”

Rowan had been invited by Vera. He initially thought that Vera wanted to discuss Joe with him. However, after they sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, Jenny arrived.

Rowan knew that Jenny had been in the hospital after a car accident, but he hadn’t realized how serious it had been

Her forehead was wrapped in bandages, and she looked significantly thinner. When she walked, it seemed like she was hesitant to put weight on her right leg.

Rowan was taken aback by the fact that the accident had been a serious one.

“It looks like Jenny wants to speak with you alone. I’ll take a walk and let you two talk,” Vera said as she stood up.

She had no interest in their conversation.

The moment Jenny saw Rowan, her eyes reddened slightly.
