Chapter 802
Caleb's tone was urgent as he spoke on the phone, "Finally, you called me back. I tried reaching you several times. I only realized this morning that you hadn't returned to the hotel.
"Where are you now? We have a flight at 3:00 pm today. I'll come find you."
Skylar briefly explained her situation with Joe, who were at a different hotel, and told Caleb to head straight to the airport, and that she would meet him there in the afternoon.
She then called Aiken.
Aiken didn't answer, likely because he was busy.
Skylar put her phone down and noticed Joe watching her.
"I'm planning to finish breakfast, then visit a nearby specialty store and head to the airport. You..."
Joe stared at her and replied, "I have a flight at 3:00 pm as well. We can go to the specialty store together later."
"Really?" Skylar was surprised.
Joe nodded. He had just overheard Skylar's conversation with Caleb and then instructed Paul to rearrange the flight reservation.
It was initially a flight two hours later but was changed to the same flight as Skylar's.
A few minutes later, Aiken called back.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Skylar put down her cutleries and answered the call.
"How is Mr. Martin?" Aiken asked directly about Joe's condition.
Joe's expression was cold, and his eyes were distant.
Aiken was already so impatient even though they had yet to divorce. Meanwhile, Skylar was smiling throughout her phone call with Aiken.
Deeply engrossed in her phone call with Aiken, Skylar didn't notice Joe's change in expression. "His fever has gone down. He's feeling better today." "That's good. Make sure you take care of yourself as well. Call me if you need anything."
"Alright, thank you."
The call didn't last long.
After ending the call, Skylar noticed Joe's displeasure.
"Are you not feeling well again? Do you still have cold symptoms?"
Joe sneered and said, "Do you know anything about Aiken?"
Skylar was taken aback. "Why do you ask?"
She knew Aiken but hadn't felt the need to delve deeply into his character.

"You're divorcing me because of Aiken, aren't you? Even if I agree the divorce, you should stay away from him. He's not right for you," Joe said, his voice low and cold. Content

Skylar's expression grew cold. She felt that the most unfamiliar thing to her was Joe, who had been sharing the same bed with her for months.
She said, "You know better than I do why we're getting divorced. There's no need to elaborate further. Aiken and Dare just friends. But you can think whatever you like." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Joe's face grew darker. Both of them looked tense.
Fortunately, Gloria called at that moment. Skylar's expression softened when she spoke with Gloria.
After breakfast, Joe finally spoke again. "We'll discuss the divorce when we're back in Jipsburg. This isn't the right time."
Skylar agreed without objection. "Just set the time."
Seeing Skylar's indifferent attitude only made Joe more upset. He felt a tightness in his throat and found it difficult to breathe Skylar was being too heartless.
...
It was 2:00 pm when Caleb saw Joe
with Skylar at the airport. He rolled his eyes discreetly. They were on the same flight when they came here, and now they were on the same flight going back. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Joe wasn't here for business. It seemed like he was here to cling to Skylar.
"Skylar told me you were sick. How come I didn't notice? Have you already recovered so quickly?" Caleb asked bluntly.
Joe's gaze was icy. "How can you speak to your elder like that?"
"We're peers, okay?" Caleb replied. Caleb forced a smile, feeling his confidence wane in front of Joe.
"Wait, is that Aiken?" Caleb's eyes widened as he looked past Skylar and Joe.
