After Vera finished speaking, she quickly ended the call. She felt that Skylar was actually a good person, and now that Joe had abandoned her, she felt quite sorry for her.
Perhaps her shared experience of being cast aside by Joe made her feel sympathy for Skylar.
The difference was that her situation was more public, and very few people in Jipsburg knew about Skylar’s marriage and subsequent divorce from Joe. So, it was clear that the one suffering more from Joe’s new relationship was not her but Skylar.
Thinking about this, the lingering hostility she had toward Skylar faded away. It would be even better if she could turn their conflict into a friendship..
But Skylar’s expression darkened at Vera’s warning. She knew that Claudio was not a good person, but for him to say he wanted her was downright despicable and extremely low. He was as disgusting as a slimy eel.
Taking a deep breath, she tried calming the anger that arose from Claudio’s actions. She stood up from the couch, intending to step out onto the balcony for some fresh air.
Just as she was about to rise, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her.
The world around her dimmed for a moment. She quickly shut her eyes, trying to steady herself against the dizzying sensation.
After a while, she felt completely calm again, as if the earlier wave of dizziness had never happened. She took a moment to steady herself and took a deep breath.
It was probably due to the combination of dealing with negative items recently and not getting enough rest. Dealing with those negative items undoubtedly took a toll on her body, resulting in some backlash as well.
Skylar then stepped out onto the balcony. She set her phone down on a small table beside her. The sky had completely darkened.
The nearby and distant skyscrapers already had many lights illuminated. Under the night sky, the city seemed to pulse with various emotions swirling within it.
Perhaps it was the breeze on the balcony, but she felt more awake after standing there for a
while.
In her hand, she held a cup of smoothie.
It was a ready–to–drink smoothie that could be prepared simply by mixing it with cold water.
Sometimes, when she craved it at home, she would prepare a cup instead of ordering takeout,
which was much more convenient.

Throughout the day, she had felt uneasy. Now, her heart felt restless, floating, and suspended
in her chest.
She wanted to grasp something significant, yet she couldn’t hold onto anything.
Maybe it was because she cared about someone, worrying about their well–being and becoming more invested. At that moment, she realized just how significant Joe was in her NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
heart.
She had once thought her feelings for Christopher were love, believing she would feel that way from start to finish. But now, she suddenly understood that it wasn’t love at all.
Lost in thought for a while, the night deepened. Throughout the day, Joe hadn’t replied to her messages. Neither had Paul.
At this hour, they should be at lunch. After hesitating for a few minutes, she decided to call Joe.
As she dialed his number, a mechanical voice came through. “The number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later.”
