Chapter 73

Skyler’s expression darkened slightly. They were married. How could she refer to their place as someone else’s place? Did he mistreat Jocelyn in any way? Why was she acting so cautiously in front of everyone? 

Jim blinked and looked at Skyler instinctively. There was a teasing gaze in his eyes. He seemed to be asking if he had mistreated Jocelyn in any way. 

Skyler glanced at her and shook his head, gesturing for him not to say anything. Lexie knew that Jocelyn and Skyler were married on paper. She understood what Jocelyn meant. She knew that Jocelyn liked cats. In the past, Michael banned her from having pets since Lily was allergic to animal fur. She spoke up, “Jocelyn, I’ll rear it at my place. You can fetch it over when you get a permanent place to stay in the future!” 

Jocelyn raised her head and glanced at Lexie, who was standing by her side. Her gaze landed on her arm. “You’re injured! It’s not convenient for you to take care of it!” 

Zayn spoke up at the right time. “I’ll rear it at my place. You can fetch it over to your place in the future if you’d like to!” Jocelyn felt slightly embarrassed. She turned around to look at Zayn. “How can I…” She then stopped talking abruptly. She caught sight of Skyler and Jim standing together behind Zayn. 

Skyler was expressionless whereas Jim had a teasing look on his face. She did not know how long they had been here and how much of their conversation they had overheard. 

Zayn sensed the change in Jocelyn’s demeanor. He turned around instinctively as well. Jocelyn looked at Jim and immediately understood what had happened. Skyler and Jim were the ones who sent them the dishes and paid for their bill. She was so shocked that she forgot to even ask them about it. She blurted out at once, “You guys were in the opposite room just now!” Jím smiled and nodded. 

Jocelyn felt extremely done. She glanced at Lexie and asked, “Didn’t you say that it was from your client?” 

Jim laughed and said, “Xixi, since when did I become your client? Why don’t I know anything about that?” 

Lexie glared at him with an unpleasant look on her face. Obviously, she did not want to talk nonsense with him. “I’ll pay you back the amount that you spent on our bill!”
