Chapter 67
Jocelyn’s eyes twinkled and she looked at him neither obsequiously nor superciliously.
She saw the wrapper of mint candies on the coffee table at a glance.
At this moment, she thought of the funny scene in the afternoon when there were pieces of mint candy
wrappers at Skyler’s feet and she could not help herself from wanting to laugh.
She had heard from the housekeeper that Skyler liked to eat mint candies with wrappers so that he could
enjoy the process of peeling them off.
Although she did not know what hobby this was, she always felt that this cold man had an inexplicably
adorable contrast when it came to eating candy.
However, right now, seeing that Skyler was in a bad mood, she forcibly held back her laughter. Skyler
looked at Jocelyn and said nothing.
Jocelyn stood there for two seconds, and when she saw that Skyler was not speaking, she planned to go
upstairs directly.
As a result, she only took two steps when she heard Skyler’s voice. She could not tell how he was
feeling right now. “Don’t you have anything you need to explain to me?”
Jocelyn stopped, confused. “Explain what?”
Skyler frowned. His tone was unpleasant when he asked, “What do you think?”
Jocelyn turned around and looked at him with a confused look. “President Moore, I don’t quite
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunderstand what you mean.”
Although she said she did not understand, she already had an inkling in her heart. He should be talking
about the scene on the roof during dinner. Skyler was probably ashamed into anger and decided to take
advantage of this topic to settle accounts with her.
Seeing Jocelyn’s innocent face, Skyler could not help snorting coldly. His tone was a little harsh now.
“First Davis, then Zayn, and today, you’re entangling with Abel. Jocelyn, are you pushing my limits?” She
pursed her lips and her face changed. “President Moore, are you interested in me?” Like a cat whose tail
was stepped on, Skyler instantly stood up from the sofa with a dark face.“ Jocelyn, are you joking?” How
could he be interested in Jocelyn? He wished that this woman would have no thoughts about him so how
would he ask for trouble? Jocelyn was not bothered. She tugged on the corners of her lips. “I don’t think
it’s a joke. I just think it’s funny.”
Skyler looked at her coldly but said nothing. Jocelyn looked at Skyler and continued calmly, “President
Moore, to be honest, I really don’t quite understand what you mean. Davis is my senior and my boss,
and Director Claud is my
friend and also my customer. They are all people I can’t avoid coming into contact with.
“But you’re saying that I’m a fickle person who does hanky-panky with others and has no limits. I just
want to know whether you’re interested in me so that’s why you’re jealous when I meet other men or do
you not like me as a person?” Jocelyn stared at Skyler coldly.
She’s not made from rubber and she would not let Skyler manipulate her however he wanted.
Skyler kept drilling in her head not to have any improper thoughts before and she endured it.
As a result, right now, he was not satisfied with small gains and even wanted to control her interpersonal
communication. Did he really think that she had no will of her own?
Jocelyn had said so many things but Skyler only focused on the word ‘jealous’.
His face was dark and his voice was deep. “You are talking nonsense. I’m jealous? Are you dreaming?”
Jocelyn frowned. “Since you think I’m talking nonsense, then please restrain your behavior and don’t
make me misunderstand. You want to control my interpersonal relationships and you even want to hold
me to sleep at night. I’m just wondering, President Moore, what are you trying to do?” Jocelyn asked with
a cold face. Skyler frowned and said nothing. Jocelyn decided to let herself go and said, “It’s not like you
are playing hard to get and I don’t think you’re unwilling. So, I am even more puzzled about us sleeping
at night.
“Ever since we got our marriage certificate, I don’t think your actions are telling me to carry out my duties
as your wife, right? Plus, even if you are, you don’t need to hold me to sleep every night, right? Could it
be that you lack a human-shaped pillow, President Moore?” Jocelyn said straightforwardly. Skyler’s
expression looked very unpleasant.
He did not think that Jocelyn had sensed what was in his mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis expression changed but he could not bring himself to tell her that he could fall asleep easily if he held
her to sleep.
Because this sounded a little preposterous. He had nothing to say so he said, “You have such a sharp
tongue.” After he said that, he turned around and left. In the end, he took two steps and felt that he
looked like he was running away because she was right.
He felt very pissed so he turned around and looked at Jocelyn. “Jocelyn, you’re the one who wanted to
get the certificate with me. Since you already got it, then isn’t it normal for us to sleep in the same bed?”
He stopped and added, “Or do you think that we shouldn’t sleep in the same bed?” When Jocelyn heard
that, she inexplicably remembered what Yvonne said. Then, she felt very
disgusted Even though nothing happened between them, she still felt very uncomfortable.
Her face was tense as she stared at Skyler. “If you don’t want me to have any thoughts about you,
shouldn’t you stay away from me? Why do you insist on sleeping in the same bed as me? Aren’t you
contradicting yourself? Also, I never asked you to sleep in the same bed with me.”
Skyler did not think that he would get to this point with Jocelyn after everything he said.
Even though he did want to hold Jocelyn to sleep, in this situation, he had to play tough with Jocelyn.
How could he admit defeat?
His face was super dark and he smirked. “Are you saying that I am begging to have you sleep in the
same bed as me? Jocelyn, you better think properly. There are a lot of women trying to get into my bed
and I am just used to my own bed. If you don’t want to sleep with me, you can sleep in another room.”
Jocelyn’s eyes twinkled. “Alright, I’ll go to the guest room later.”
