Skylar was stunned for a moment. She said, "I don't think so. I've always been like that. Your palm is probably too warm. Usually, a man's body temperature is often higher than that of a woman."
Why was Joe so hung up on the temperature of her hand?
Skylar asked, "Aren't you going to pick Jenny up?"
Joe replied expressionlessly, "Rowan will pick her up. Let's head to the Pearlhall Residence to see Grandma."
"Oh, alright."
…
In the airport, Jenny paled when Joe hung up on her.
"Busy? What could Joe be busy with? Shouldn't he be excited to see me as soon as possible?"
She'd never wanted Rowan to pick her up. She only wanted Joe to come. With that, it would be convenient for her to move into Galaxy Villa.
Jenny has been attending university in Korel City for the past four years. She hadn't returned once. She wanted Joe to visit her occasionally so that everyone in Jipsburg would know that she held a special place in Joe's heart.
She also knew that distance made the heart grow fonder. She wanted Joe's adoration for her to increase further.
However, she definitely hadn't done so for him to get married silently. There seemed to be a barrier between them, and it was even worse than when she'd been in Korel City.
Jenny's eyes welled up with tears. Even though she'd collected her baggage, she didn't walk out.
In the end, she gave in and called Rowan. She said, "Rowan, I'm back. Can you pick me up at the airport?"
Rowan arrived quickly.
The second Jenny saw Rowan, she fell into his arms, sobbing, "Rowan, Joe doesn't care about me anymore. I thought he'd be ecstatic to know I was back and would put everything away to pick me up. In the end, he hadn't come."
