Chapter 868 

Skylar went to the fridge to grab some beers. She also took the opportunity to wash some fruit. 

The table was filled with various beef jerky flavors. As she opened the package, the aroma of the barbecue beef jerky wafted through the air. 

She had been so busy lately that she hadn’t had time to enjoy snacks like this. She remembered seeing posts on Instagram about this popular chain. 

People said it was the best beef jerky shop in Jipsburg City. Tonight, she finally had a chance to try it. 

By the time she finished setting everything up, Joe had come downstairs after his shower. 

They didn’t say much to each other. They sat quietly side by side, watching their show and munching on the peppered beef jerky. 

Joe only took a few bites. He wasn’t a fan of the peppered flavor, but he drank beer and ate some fruit. On the other hand, Skylar had a big appetite. Without realizing it, she had devoured almost half of the beef jerky by herself. 

She belatedly glanced at Joe. 

He seemed unusually easygoing tonight, with an air of friendliness about him. 

The way they sat there now felt like how a normal couple would act. There was no need for words, yet there was a warmth in their eyes when they looked at each other. 

Skylar wondered if it was the beer making her see Joe in a different light. 

“Skylar,” Joe suddenly spoke. 

“Hmm?” She looked up at him, her eyes a bit dazed from the alcohol. 

Joe leaned in and kissed her. 

After the kiss ended, he said, “No divorce. Is that okay?” 

Skylar wondered if she had misheard him saying he didn’t want a divorce. 

“You…” Skylar was stunned. 

She pondered whether he was serious or if it was just a spur–of–the–moment decision. 

Just as she was about to ask if he had really thought it through, her phone suddenly rang. 

Skylar reached for her phone. She answered the call with a distracted tone. “Hello.” 

“Skylar, this is Aiken. Can you come to Apollo Hospital? Only you might be able to calm Simona down and make her listen.” Aiken’s voice was urgent and tinged with a hint of helplessness. 

Skylar had known Aiken for a while. Though they didn’t meet often, he had always seemed calm and composed. It was clear that only someone like Simona could unsettle him. 

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she asked, “What happened to Simona?” 

“Simona… has been bullied,” Aiken said. His voice was filled with pain and distress. 

Although he was trying to control his emotions, the moment he heard Skylar’s voice, he couldn’t completely control his feelings. 

Skylar’s expression changed dramatically, and she jumped up. “I’m heading there right now!”

After hanging up, Skylar turned to Joe. “Simona has been bullied. I don’t know if it’s what I’m fearing, but I need to get to the hospital right away.” 

Simona was young and had just started to make plans and hopes for her future. She couldn’t afford to have anything go wrong. 

Joe’s expression turned cold. “Aiken’s sister?” 

The situation was related to Aiken.
