Skylar nodded. “Being able to think like that means Hector’s moved on.”

“It was nothing much. What man hasn’t had a few injuries? If you haven’t broken a bone twice, you’re not a real man. Compared to me, his injuries are minor,” Caleb said with a slight lift of his chin, boasting a bit.

He wasn’t happy seeing Skylar complimenting someone else. He had made a lot of progress recently too.

Skylar could see Caleb’s thoughts and managed a smile.

She said, “You’re right. You’re the bravest young man I’ve ever met, and you’re also very eager to learn. When you need to be steady, you can definitely hold your ground.”

“That’s right!”

From that moment on, Caleb worked energetically for the rest of the day as if he had been given a boost of adrenaline. His proactive attitude astonished many of his colleagues.

Later, Alexander discreetly asked Skylar during a break, “Did something go wrong with him today?”

Caleb had always found ways to slack off, but today, he was unusually diligent and eager–unlike his usual NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

self.

Skylar laughed. “Maybe he’s just grown up.”

Alexander nodded thoughtfully.

When a man said he was grown up, he could change overnight. His attitude toward things could shift dramatically.

Alexander felt a pang of sadness as he thought about how Caleb had finally matured.

Half an hour before the end of the workday, Gloria called Skylar. She asked her to come to the Pearlhall

Residence after work.

Concerned about Gloria’s health, Skylar went straight to the Pearlhall Residence after finishing work.

When she arrived, she saw Joe was also there.

He had probably just arrived. He was still standing with a glass of water in his hand, taking a sip. When he saw her enter, he looked over at her.

Their eyes met for a brief moment.

Skylar went over to Gloria and took a seat beside her.

“Skye, take a look at these wedding dresses and see if there’s anything you like,” Gloria said, handing Skylar a stack of photos.

The photos were of various wedding dresses. Each wedding dress looked beautifully designed. No. woman could resist the allure of a wedding dress.

Skylar had once fantasized about what she would look like wearing one herself.

“Wedding dresses?” Skylar was a bit puzzled. She wondered why Gloria was showing her these wedding dresses.

Seeing Skylar’s confused expression, Gloria chuckled and said, “You and Joe have been married for a while, but you never had a proper wedding. None of your friends or family even know you’re married.

“I was thinking of arranging a wedding for you two. Maybe I could discuss the details with your mother in the next few days if she’s available.”

“A wedding!” Skylar was taken aback. Why a wedding now?

She and Joe were planning to get divorced, so a wedding was out of the question. They had even signed a contract back then to keep their marriage a secret.

Joe saw the surprise on Skylar’s face and frowned slightly. He said, “Even if we start planning now, it’ll take at least a year to set a date. It’s the perfect time to start picking out a wedding dress.”

“Alright, I’ll take a look at the wedding dresses,” Skylar replied. She noticed Joe’s frown and realized Gloria probably didn’t know about Joe’s desire to divorce her.

So, Gloria was happily planning their wedding, unaware of the truth.

Not wanting to disappoint her, Skylar carefully examined the wedding dresses.

Gloria smiled warmly and said, “Pick out a few, and I’ll have them sent to the Galaxy Villa. You can try them on one by one. If none of them feel right, we can bring in a designer from abroad. These wedding dresses are one–of–a–kind pieces from various designers.

“Since they’ve been sent to me, no one else had worn them. For your wedding, the wedding dress must be truly unique.”

Skylar felt a sting in her nose. Gloria was so good to her. She suddenly felt guilty about continuing to deceive her.
