Chapter 190: Chapter 191

Jim was rather stunned. His almond-shaped eyes widened as he asked, “That can’t be. You like her and would like to pursue her, but you aren’t willing to confess to her? Dude, what in the world are you trying to do?” A regretful expression appeared on Skyler’s cold and elegant face. He added, “Previously, I told her not to harbor any ulterior motives toward me. I can still come up with an excuse to give her presents and eat with her without explaining things to her. If I confess to her straight away, won’t I be a hypocrite?”

Jim looked at Skyler with an irritated expression on his face. “How can you make her fall for you if you don’t want to lose your composure?” 1 Skyler did not say anything as he silently admitted to everything.

Jim stared at him with a complicated gaze in his eyes. “Speaking of which, this is the first time you went against your own words. You said that you’ll just get married without falling in love. However, you fell in love after getting married. You aren’t following the rules of the contract at all!”

Skyler cast a cold gaze at him. “Do you not want to live anymore?”

Jim immediately laughed out dryly and said, “How is that possible? I was just thinking about what you said. If you want to stay by her side like a silent knight, you should wait for her to confess to you on her own once your genuine heart touches her one day!”

Despite what he said, Jim complained about Skyler in his heart. Skyler was simply making things hard for himself. He viewed his reputation above anything else. It would be too late if his wife ran away with someone else one day!

Obviously, Skyler also knew that it was not a good idea for him to remain silent.

He leaned against the sofa and downed the hard liquor in his glass in one go. There was a cold and elegant expression on his face. He did not seem to be troubled by love at all.

Although Jim had a sharp mouth, he had a soft heart. He did not want Skyler to feel frustrated over this incident.

He wiggled his brows at Skyler and started coming up with ideas. “If things really don’t work, you can always get drunk and do whatever you want!” Skyler opened his eyes and glanced at him lazily. He did not say anything. However, his mind was full of thoughts about how he had approached Jocelyn with liquid courage the past few times.

The first time that he got drunk, the butler had sent him back to the room. The second time that happened to him, he had gotten slapped across the face! Jim started panicking when he realized that Skyler was not saying anything. He started nagging after him. “I really think that this idea is pretty good.

She can’t blame you for what you’ve done when you’re drunk. You did everything while you were drunk, so it wasn’t exactly you doing all of it. At most, she’ll ask you not to get drunk anymore. However, you shouldn’t pretend to get drunk. You’ll be exposed if your acting skills aren’t up to par!”

There was an unreadable expression on Skyler’s face. After hearing what Jim said, he glanced at him and asked, “Do you mean… I should really get drunk?”

“Uh-huh!” Jim said in a gleeful tone.

Skyler frowned and asked, “What if I forget everything that happened?”

Jim stared at him for a few seconds. He seemed to be thinking about something. “I recall that… you aren’t the type to forget everything that happened even if you get drunk! That shouldn’t happen to you!”

When he noticed that Skyler did not retort against that, he could not help but try persuading him. “Try it out. What if it manages to make both of you closer? You can act recklessly while you’re drunk!”

Skyler picked up his glass of wine and walked around. Finally, he placed the glass on the table and got up.

He tucked his tailor-made shirt into his suit pants to accentuate his sexy and sturdy waistline.

He unbuttoned one of the buttons on his shirt with a languid expression on his face. He then picked up his business suit and said, “Let’s do this. I’ll go fetch someone!”

Quintus Hotel, the gala hall. Renee got humiliated after challenging Jocelyn once again. She was angry that she gritted her teeth in rage. She had just thought of a means to regain the upper hand. However, just then, Jordan and Walter both walked in from outside. When Renee saw Walter, she panicked instinctively. She immediately got up and said, “You guys should play among yourselves! There’s something that I need to do right now!

After Renee finished speaking, she escaped at once. She did not want Walter to put her in a more difficult position. Walter still sat next to Jocelyn after returning this time around. However, he did not take the initiative to talk to Jocelyn at all. Jocelyn drank a lot back then. She then got up and said, “Senior, can you please excuse me? I need to go to the washroom!”

Walter glanced at her and moved his body sideways.

Jocelyn walked out in a hurry.

After going to the washroom, she walked out and was about to wash her hands when she suddenly saw a familiar face in the mirror in front of the basin.

She had not forgotten this face for the past two years. She even had nightmares when she thought about this person’s face.

However, it seemed like this person had not sensed Jocelyn’s emotions at all. She spoke to Jocelyn in a haughty tone. There was an ambiguous expression on her face. “Jocelyn White, what a coincidence!”
