After he said that, Skyler strode towards the stairs with a sullen face.Yvonne also quickly followed.Jocelyn and Abel did not even have time to go downstairs, and the four of them looked at each other.Abel was laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes.Jocelyn just felt an awkwardness in the air.An imperceptible embarrassment flashed across Skyler's face and his handsome face was extremely dark.Jocelyn was afraid that he would get mad, so she directly pushed the blame to someone else. “I just came back from buying food for Lexie and I was forcefully dragged up here by Abel.”After she said that, she saw that Skyler’s expression looked even more unpleasant.She quickly added, “I didn't hear anything!”After she finished speaking, Abel burst out laughing.He held the wall with one hand and his forehead with the other. “Oh, I'm so sorry, I can't help it, it's so funny!”Jocelyn was speechless. ‘Can you laugh more exaggeratedly?’After he said this, he started under
Jocelyn's eyes twinkled and she looked at him neither obsequiously nor superciliously.She saw the wrapper of mint candies on the coffee table at a glance.At this moment, she thought of the funny scene in the afternoon when there were pieces of mint candy wrappers at Skyler's feet and she could not help herself from wanting to laugh.She had heard from the housekeeper that Skyler liked to eat mint candies with wrappers so that he could enjoy the process of peeling them off.Although she did not know what hobby this was, she always felt that this cold man had an inexplicably adorable contrast when it came to eating candy.However, right now, seeing that Skyler was in a bad mood, she forcibly held back her laughter.Skyler looked at Jocelyn and said nothing.Jocelyn stood there for two seconds, and when she saw that Skyler was not speaking, she planned to go upstairs directly.As a result, she only took two steps when she heard Skyler's voice. She could not tell how he was feeli
Skyler’s face was even darker now. He only felt a fire burning in his heart. No one had ever made him lose control like this.Jocelyn had the upper hand now and it made him look like he was the pestering one. This feeling was so horrible.His words were filled with emotions. “Whatever.”Jocelyn looked at him. “President Moore, is there anything else? If not, I’m going upstairs to rest.”Skyler’s eyes darkened. “I don’t care where you sleep. However, did you forget the agreement from when we got our marriage certificate?”Jocelyn’s expression changed. She stared at Skyler and her voice was stiff. “President Moore, if you want me to carry out my duties as a wife, you can call me into the master bedroom or you can come to the guest room.”Skyler chuckled in his heart. She was planning to play according to the official principles now.His tone was so cold that it was terrifying. “You’re the one who said this.”Jocelyn looked at him, neither obsequious nor supercilious. “I said that
Jocelyn stared at Skyler, her eyes widened and her jaw on the floor. She did not know what words she could use to describe how she was feeling right now.However, after Skyler said that, he did not give her a chance to speak before he turned around to leave.After gaining the upper hand, Skyler’s footsteps felt much lighter.Jocelyn stared at Skyler's back, unable to explain how she was feeling.She never expected that Skyler would use what she said downstairs just now to fight back against her.How could there be such a vengeful man?Jocelyn cursed in her heart, ‘Skyler, you mutt!’Then, she huffed in anger and slammed the door shut before going back to the bathroom to continue her shower.She should not open the door for this person while she was in the shower.Skyler had his things in his hands and he went back to the master bedroom. Soon, he realized his behavior just now was a little childish.However, he had to admit that he did feel much better after saying that.Yet,
Jocelyn was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with surprise as she watched Abel approaching her, his purple earrings gleaming in the sunlight.He then stood directly next to Jocelyn.Lily frowned, her eyes a little dazed. “Who are you?”Abel lifted the corners of his lips and smiled, but his tone was a little aggressive. “I am just an enthusiastic citizen and I just came to watch. Why? Do you have a problem with that?”Lily shook her head.Abel took a step forward, raised his voice, and said in a disdainful tone, “Lily, stop putting on a show in front of reporters. Are you not done with this kind of dirty trick when you’re trying to fake your suicide?”Lily took a step back subconsciously and shook her head helplessly. “I didn't!”Abel looked at her mockingly. “If I kill you and apologize to your corpse, will you forgive me?”Lily's eyes widened and she looked very pitiful. “How can you say that?”Abel disagreed. “Then how can you do this? You also know that not all people
Jocelyn turned around immediately and caught sight of Skyler protecting her behind his back. He then cast an icy look at Abel.Abel did not let go of Jocelyn’s arm.Abel was stunned when he noticed Skyler. He then scoffed, “Moore the Second, why are you involved in everything? Does my relationship with Lil Sis have anything to do with you?” Skyler cast a hateful glance at Abel’s hand on Jocelyn’s arm. “Let go of her!” Abel’s smile faded. “What if I don’t let go of her?” Skyler grabbed Jocelyn’s other arm. “Don’t blame me for what I’ll do to you!” Abel looked at him in a nonchalant manner. “Really? I’d like to see what you’d do to me!” Skyler’s oppressive aura heightened as he reached out to grab the hand that Abel had wrapped around Jocelyn’s arm. He then tried to pry his hand off her. Some reporters looked over when they noticed the tension between the two of them.Jocelyn frowned and said, “Both of you are hurting my arms!”Both men instantly let go of her arms.
Jocelyn frowned and glanced at her phone screen. The call was from Lexie. She glanced at Zayn in the guest room through the glass door. Zayn just happened to look over as well. Jocelyn pointed at her phone and gestured that she had to pick up the phone. Zayn nodded with a smile.Jocelyn took her phone out and picked it up. “Hello!” “Jocelyn, I plan to get discharged today. Anyways, I can just heal from my broken arm at home!” Lexie said in a cold voice. However, the tone of her voice was tinged with rage. Jocelyn frowned. “Did something happen to you?” Lexie had no intentions to hide anything from Jocelyn as well. She told her the truth. “Jim Rand keeps pestering me. I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore!” Jocelyn instantly understood what had happened. She had been to the hospital a few times. She could tell that Jim kept visiting Lexie’s room as well. Regardless of whether he really liked Lexie, or he was just being playful, Lexie liked someone else. Sh
Skyler’s expression darkened slightly.They were married. How could she refer to their place as someone else’s place? Did he mistreat Jocelyn in any way? Why was she acting so cautiously in front of everyone? Jim blinked and looked at Skyler instinctively. There was a teasing gaze in his eyes. He seemed to be asking if he had mistreated Jocelyn in any way. Skyler glanced at her and shook his head, gesturing for him not to say anything. Lexie knew that Jocelyn and Skyler were married on paper. She understood what Jocelyn meant. She knew that Jocelyn liked cats. In the past, Michael banned her from having pets since Lily was allergic to animal fur. She spoke up, “Jocelyn, I’ll rear it at my place. You can fetch it over when you get a permanent place to stay in the future!” Jocelyn raised her head and glanced at Lexie, who was standing by her side. Her gaze landed on her arm. “You’re injured! It’s not convenient for you to take care of it!”Zayn spoke up at the right ti
