Chapter 177

Lexie glanced at Jocelyn. She sounded upset as she spoke. “Yes, he said that to me in front of Yuni

Shaw.”

Jocelyn’s expression fell. No wonder Lexie looked so sad. A situation like this would only embarrass

Lexie further. She reached out and hugged Lexie tightly. She did not say a word. During the day, Jocelyn

kept Lexie company. At night, she was notified that the results of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition

would be announced at 10 a.m. the next day. A banquet would be specially held at May First Hotel, and

all the participants and designers were invited. Jocelyn responded. She had just taken a shower and

dried her hair, and she was sitting in the living room.

At that moment, the room door suddenly swung open. Jocelyn looked up, her gaze meeting Skyler’s. The

look in his eyes drew her in, and Jocelyn could not stop her heart from racing. She could feel that

something had changed between them.

After they were rescued yesterday, they did not have the chance for any proper conversation. At that

moment, there were only the two of them. She could not help the inexplicable nervousness that she felt.

She retracted her gaze awkwardly. “You’re back!”

Skyler nodded, closing the door behind him.

Jocelyn suddenly grabbed the pillow on the couch nervously. His gaze swept across her hand, and he

said curtly, “I’m going to take a shower!” As soon as he said that, he took off his coat and hung it up.

Then, he tossed his phone onto the coffee table and went into the bathroom.

The sound of running water snapped Jocelyn out of her daze, and she bolted up from the couch.

The wound on Skyler’s body had just been stitched up. It could not be exposed to water, so how could he

take a shower?

She did not think too much and rushed to the bathroom immediately. She knocked on the door hurriedly.

Perhaps it was due to the steam from the shower, but his voice sounded hoarse as he spoke.” What’s

the matter?”

Jocelyn’s responded worriedly. “You’re hurt, you shouldn’t be showering!”

Skyler’s tone was indifferent. “It’s fine, I won’t get water on my wound!” Jocelyn was still worried. “If it

gets wet, your wound will become inflamed!”

The sound of running water suddenly ceased, and the bathroom door swung open abruptly. Jocelyn felt

her heart leap into her throat. Skyler was dressed in a bathrobe as he stared at her weakly. “Are you

trying to help me shower?” Jocelyn’s eyes widened as she looked at him with a shocked expression.

“You’re misunderstanding me! I’m just worried about your wound! How about you just… wipe it down?”

“Oh!” Skyler responded nonchalantly. “Do you want to help me wipe it?” She felt like she could not

breathe. “I… I… You… W-wipe it yourself!” After all, the wound was on his back!

Skyler stared at her wordlessly. When he spoke again, his tone was a little cold. “You don’t have to worry,

I won’t force you to help me shower. Besides, Yale has already given me a waterproof sticker!”

He cocked a brow and looked at Jocelyn. “Or are you still worried? Do you want to help me stick on a

new one?”

Jocelyn blushed immediately. When she spoke, her words came out with a stutter. “Y-you… J just hurry

up and take your shower! I’m not worried at all!”

After she said that, she turned and walked away. She was so nervous that she did not even realize that

she was walking awkwardly.

Skyler watched her as she left. He could not help his lips from curving up into a smile, and there was a

trace of amusement in his voice as he spoke. “Alright, I’ll go take my shower then!”

The bathroom door clicked shut again. Jocelyn’s heart was still hammering in her chest.

She returned to her seat on the couch, feeling like she was floating on water. She did not know what to

think

She rubbed her face furiously. Maybe she was hallucinating but why did it feel like Skyler was…

deliberately teasing her?

At that moment, Skyler’s phone rang. Jocelyn turned to look at it. The name “Rhode Ginn” flashed across

the screen.

The smile on Jocelyn’s face faded slightly. She picked up her phone and looked down at it, unsure of

what to think.

Just then, she received a text from Lexie.

Lexie: (Hey Jocelyn, I have no idea how but Walter Keele contacted me and asked me about you. He

wanted your contact information as well. Should I give it to him?]

Jocelyn was stunned. Her smile vanished completely.

Jocelyn: [Just tell him you have no idea. I… I don’t want too much contact with him in the future!]

Lexie: (So, after you return from Greene City, you’re not planning on attending the alumni reunion

anymore?]

Jocelyn: (Yup, I won’t be going!]

Lexie: (Alright, I’ll tell him that I haven’t heard from you and I don’t have your contact details!

Jocelyn was still looking down at her phone, distracted. Just as she was about to reply, Skyler’s phone

rang again. Rhode Ginn had sent him a message. The screen lit up briefly, and the message popped up

clearly. Jocelyn glanced over at it and read the text.

[I’m at Greene City today, Mr. Moore. Are you available? Perhaps we could meet up. I’d love to treat you

to a meal!]
