Ma'am, The World Is Waiting For Your Divorce

Chapter 42

Lexie was stunned. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her despondent face after hearing what Jocelyn said. Her expression looked quite odd. She seemed rather pitiful.

Jocelyn reached out to hug Lexie. She could only comfort her silently and give her courage.

Jocelyn returned to Villa No.1 at North Court.

She took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She then heard the sound of the door opening outside.

She thought about what happened in the bar tonight. She then looked at the packaged box on the bed. She pursed her lips, picked up the box, and walked outside.

Skyler was hanging up his coat when he saw Jocelyn walking over with a small black and blue colored box in her hands.

He frowned. “You’re not asleep yet?”

Jocelyn nodded and handed the cuff box over to him. “This is for you. Thank you for saving me last night!”

As soon as Skyler saw the box, a voice rang out in his ears. Have you fallen in love with this woman?

His expression darkened immediately. The tone of his voice grew slightly displeased as well. “I told you that any man would rescue you. Besides, we’re married!”

Jocelyn had already handed him the gift. She had no intentions of taking it back. She spoke up, “That’s a different thing. Even if we’re married, there’s no need for you to rescue me. I like to keep my gratitude and resentment clear. I don’t like owing others anything!”

Skyler’s gaze flashed as plenty of thoughts flashed through his mind. Was this woman giving him a gift because she had developed other thoughts toward him?

After all, a cuff was a private item. If he wore the cuff that she gifted to him, everyone else will think that they were in love. That way, it would also be easier for her to develop other expectations.

In the past, she had called him her husband whenever he teased her.

There was not a problem since they were married. However, this was a red flag in terms of their feelings. Skyler did not want Jocelyn to catch feelings for him.

His handsome face darkened when he thought of this. “Jocelyn White, you don’t need to give me a cuff. I don’t lack such items. As long as you don’t develop thoughts that you shouldn’t have, I won’t mistreat you! However, I won’t go easy on women that continuously pester me either!”

Jocelyn’s expression changed slightly. She was infuriated. She could finally tell that Skyler was the type of person that had a strong determination to outperform everyone in every aspect.

Back then, it was likely that he had obtained a marriage certificate with her because his conceited personality had been threatened. He must have agreed to it since he was not greatly affected by their marriage.

However, now that he had returned to his senses, he was afraid that she would catch feelings for him and start pestering him. He did not want her to become dependent on him.

He was afraid that she would be unwilling to leave his side a year after their marriage.

Jocelyn’s family had never loved her since she was young. However, she was well-pursued in school. She had never been humiliated in front of someone else before.

She felt that her headstrong character had been humiliated.

She stared at Skyler and spoke to him in an emotional tone. “Don’t worry, President Moore. I will never ever pester another man. That’s beyond humiliating!”

Skyler could tell that she was angry. He raised his brow and said, “Great, I hope that you aren’t saying this just because of your anger and false bravado!”

Jocelyn was so outraged that she felt like scolding him. However, it was extremely embarrassing for her to debase herself over such an incident.

There was a heavy expression on her face as she spoke to him in an angered tone, “President Moore, you shouldn’t be so conceited. Are you that sure that I’m the one who likes you instead of you being the one who likes me?”

Skyler was stunned. It seemed like he had never expected Jocelyn to ask him such a question.

He spoke up in a firm voice, “Don’t worry. This will never happen!”

Jocelyn pursed her lips sarcastically and said, “Alright, I’m relieved after hearing you say that!”

Skyler cast a furtive glance at Jocelyn after noticing her unwilling demeanor. He then said, ” Let me tell you this. I loved smoking in the past. However, I quit smoking as soon as I decided to quit the habit. Things that other people cannot bear to give away are simply nothing in my

Jocelyn laughed. In the end, he was just being cruel to her. However, this had nothing to do with her either. She did not like him! She was only grateful to him!

She glanced at Skyler and said in an even tone, “President Moore, I understand your intentions. You don’t need to keep reminding me of it. I know that we got married because of our mutual needs. Everything that you’re worried about will never happen!” She glanced at the cuff that she was holding while speaking. She then laughed self-mockingly and said, “This was my mistake. I won’t do something like this anymore!”

Jocelyn kept the cuff box. She then turned around to leave.

Somehow, Skyler felt slightly displeased. He frowned and called after Jocelyn. “Jocelyn White!”
