Chapter 69
Steven still looked grim. “Did that guy buy this car for you?”
Skylar was still so young. How could she just live with any random man?
The thought of her possibly being heartbroken because of Christopher made Steven’s heart ache. He couldn’t suppress the urge to go and beat Christopher to a pulp.
“I bought it myself. Our family’s life will improve from now on,” Skylar said.
Steven frowned. New energy vehicles like this probably cost over ten thousand dollars. Skylar had been doing restoration work recently and could indeed earn some money.
“Are you living together with him?”
“Yeah, at his place,” Skylar said as she looked ahead at the bustling traffic. Suddenly, she felt a weight lift
off her chest.
Steven fell silent and didn’t speak for 30 minutes.
As they neared his staff dormitory, he finally spoke up. “Skye, find a chance for me to meet him.”
“I’ll arrange for you to meet him after some time. But don’t tell Mom and Peter about my marriage yet.. They’ll definitely worry.”
Skylar’s eyes flashed in hesitation. Let Joe meet Steven? He probably wouldn’t agree to meet her family.
She knew her place. Her relationship with Joe was only bound by a paper agreement.
When the car stopped, Steven sighed heavily. “Does he treat you well?”
“Yeah, but he’s just a bit… aloof.” Skylar chose her words carefully.
“Being aloof might not always be a bad thing. It’s better than Christopher’s sweet talk,” Steven said, feeling slightly relieved.
When he got out of the car, he was still worried. “Skye, tell me if anything happens.”
“I will,” Skylar obediently replied.
Christopher scratched his already messed–up hair vigorously as he read the endless stream of rumors. online at his home. He almost crushed his phone in his hand.
When he asked Maisy, she said they were trying to figure things out.
He regretted it deeply. He shouldn’t have issued any statements. There were tens of thousands of comments cursing him under his post.
Although the buzz had died down somewhat due to the Williams family’s suppression, he had been fired from work.

Suddenly, Amelia called. “Chris, is what they’re saying online true? Are you dating Malsy?” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Christopher’s eyes were bloodshot. “Mom, w–we’re not really dating.”
“I remember you saying before that although Skylar has returned to her biological family, they don’t seem to like her. They like Maisy instead, right?” Amella asked.
“Yeah, what about it? I’m really frustrated right now. Can I talk to you tomorrow when I go to the hospital? Christopher scratched his head again.
*Since Skylar is so ungrateful and even exposed you online, why don’t you take this opportunity to really date Maisy? Try to get into the Williamses‘ company. By then, you’ll work for their company as their son–in- law. With your abilities, their company will even be yours eventually.
Amelia had lofty expectations. In her eyes, no one could compare to Christopher.
There was suddenly a glimmer of hope in Christopher’s bloodshot eyes. “You reminded me…”
Skylar returned to Galaxy Villa at 10:00 pm.
The lights were still on inside. It seemed that Joe had come back earlier.
She was about to go upstairs when she saw Joe sitting on the couch. He had a steaming cup of tea in his
hand.
A faint scent of herbs wafted into her nose.
