She didn’t have any feelings for him. He was only her bed partner,
சயம்
On the first day back at work after her break, Skylar looked at her new assistant, Caleb, and felt the task was daunting.
Mr. Gardner Senior had spoken to her in the morning, asking her to help guide Caleb and help him learn more about antiques. He mentioned that Caleb was a little troublemaker who didn’t listen to anyone but her and suggested she use him as free labor.
In addition, Mr. Gardner Senior gave her another task–restoring a shattered porcelain vase.
Looking at the pieces of the vase, Caleb felt his headache.
“It’s all smashed up. Can it really be fixed? Is my grandpa trying to make things difficult for you?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Gardner Senior has never made things difficult for me. This level of breakage isn’t very serious. I can repair it,” Skylar replied.
Caleb was filled with admiration.
“No wonder Grandpa says you’re more capable than he was at your age. You can confidently say you can fix something this broken.”
He has fallen for Skylar even more now.
When Caleb saw Skylar working up close an hour later, he marveled again. He probably would never fall for anyone else for the rest of his life.
It was all his dad’s fault for not having him sooner. If only he’d been born a few years earlier, he wouldn’t
have let another man get to Skylar first.
However, the more he watched, the more he felt that the restoration work he once found boring now seemed quite interesting. Especially seeing Skylar quickly get into work mode, he couldn’t help but start to take learning seriously,
Jeffery sat by the bed at the hospital, looking at the sleeping Sadie. There was no love in his eyes
Nowadays, Sadie looked like she’d aged ten years, with much more gray hair and wrinkles. Her skin was pale and dull, and her brows were tightly furrowed even in her sleep. She carried herself with great
resentment.
He hadn’t come to the hospital in days because he didn’t want to face her. That day, the hospital Informed him she could be discharged, so he came. Otherwise, he didn’t want to.
It wouldn’t be too bad if Sadie didn’t bring so much trouble. But that wasn’t the case.
Chapter 397
Sadie was tormenting their children and also herself, looking worse than he had ever seen her in all the years he had known her.
Behind him sat Kenny and the others. Peter was handling the discharge procedures.
“I don’t know if Mom can adjust after coming home. She’s been calling out for Skylar every day for the past few days. I don’t know why, but she keeps asking to see Skylar,” Samuel said, scratching
his head in
frustration. If she kept this up daily, there wouldn’t be any peace at home.
Maisy sighed. “Maybe staying at the hospital was uncomfortable for her. Once she’s home, she might get
a lot better. As for Skylar, she probably won’t come to see Mom no matter what.”
“No… No… I was wrong! I know it’s my fault. Skylar, it’s all my fault. Please forgive me, okay?”
Suddenly, Sadie, asleep, started crying and shouting again. She reached her hands out as if trying to grasp
something.
Jeffery jumped up.
“Mom’s having another nightmare. Ugh!” Kenny said helplessly.
Jeffery’s face darkened as he glared at the nightmare–ridden Sadie. “Why would she have nightmares?
