Chapter 83 We’re Married

Chloe was stunned and immediately turned around.

However, she saw no trace of Joseph. Instead, she spotted Icarus. She patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. “You must be seeing things. You scared me!”

“I wasn’t seeing things,” Emily insisted, but in the next second, Icarus vanished before she could point him out. She began to doubt herself. “Could I really be seeing things?”

“Of course. You’ve been running back and forth between the hospital and the office while also making time for your boyfriend. It’s normal to experience some eye impairment,” Chloe said with a smile. “Once I finish up what I’m working on, I’ll treat you well.”

“It’d be nice if you hadn’t married him. The other day, I saw an extremely handsome guy. He’s several times better looking than Jake’s uncle. I guarantee you’ll drool when you see him!” Emily exclaimed.

“Is that so? While Jake’s looks are average, his uncle is a work of art. In fact, in all my years of existence, I’ve never seen a man as handsome as him.”

Emily rolled her eyes. “Once you see this guy, you won’t say that anymore.”
