Chapter 20
After Skyler finished speaking, he turned around with Jocelyn in his arms. “Yale, let‘s go!” Skyler carried Jocelyn and left with large strides. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Michael‘s face turned as white as paper. He lost bis balance: “Did I hear wrongly just now? He… what did he say?”
There was a terrible expression on Yennis’s face as well. She spoke up in a bitter and unwilling tone, “He said that …Jocelyn is his wife, but… but when did all of this happen? Why didn‘t we know anything about it?”
Michael felt beyond regretful right now. He closed his eyes in mortification and said, “It‘s no wonder all of this happened!”
It was no wonder Prosperity Jewelry would help Jocelyn to such extents. He had brought utter doom upon himself by offending Skyler Moore this time around! Yennis snapped angrily, “Jocelyn is getting wilder nowadays. Marriage is such a huge affair in one’s life, yet she didn’t even notify us about it. She doesn’t even see you as her father!” Michael was beyond angered right now. He shouted back at Yennis furiously, “Shut up! You were the one who came up with this terrible idea!” Yennis trembled in frustration. “How can you blame everything on me? You were the one who agreed to it! Besides, if you didn‘t allocate an individual account book for Jocelyn, would you be clueless about her marriage right now?”
Back then, Jocelyn’s mother had divorced Michael, and Jocelyn‘s account book was under her mother’s name. After her mother passed away, Jocelyn’s account book remained under her name although she had moved back into the White household.
Michael seethed in anger and irritation. “There‘s no use in saying such nonsense right now. Hurry up and send Chad to the hospital!” He did not expect Jocelyn to get married behind his back! Lily‘s lips trembled when she saw her parents arguing. She clenched her hands into tight fists. Why… why was Jocelyn, that b*tch, capable of leading such a good life? She had actually managed to marry Skyler Moore.
It was no wonder that she had managed to turn things around and achieve victory after crushing her beneath her feet! She could not accept it!
Skyler came out of the room with his family doctor. He asked the doctor, “How‘s she?” The family doctor replied truthfully, “There isn‘t a big problem. She‘ll be alright after she wakes up!” Skyler finally let out a sigh of relief. After sendin g the family doctor away, he returned to the room and sat down by her bed.
He looked at Jocelyn, who was lying on the bed. She was so quiet that she looked just like a child.
His gaze was heavy as he could not resist pinching Jocelyn’s delicate and small face. “You didn‘t believe in me when I told you that you were foolish. See, wasn’t I right?”
However, the person lying on the bed did not respond to him at all. Skyler stared at her face for a few seconds and shook his head in exasperation. He then carried her to the bathroom.
Initially, Skyler intended to do a good deed by helping Jocelyn to shower. However, after undressing her, he realized that he had overestimated his endurance.
He had no choice but to turn around and spray water onto her body. He simply doused Jocelyn a couple of times and wrapped her in a large bath towel. He then carried her out and placed her on the bed before tucking her into the sheets. After that, Skyler took a quick shower. After walking out of the bathroom, he
hesitated for a few seconds before turning around and heading to the room next door. He lay down on the bed for more than two hours, but he could not sleep at all. He rolled around in bed and scratched his head in irritation. After a moment of hesitation, he finally got up and headed to Jocelyn’s room. As soon as Skyler approached Jocelyn‘s bed, he caught a whiff of the faint fragrance of her body. He climbed onto the bed and wrapped her in his arms. Not long after, he fell asleep. The next morning, Jocelyn opened her eyes, which were crusty with sleep. She immediately caught sight of a man’s sturdy chest. Jocelyn tried recalling her memories. She clearly remembered everything that had happened last night. Chad Jones’s evil face seemed to appear before her in an instant. She did not even dare to raise her head to look at the man embracing her. Her eyes turned red rimmed with rage as she kicked the man, who was oblivious to anything, down the bed with all her might.
Skyler was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a sharp sense of pain in his body. He was then thrown down the bed.
