Chapter 36
Hearing Chad’s words, even though Jocelyn knew the whole story, she still felt a little upset.
She said expressionlessly, “No need, this matter ends here!”
She knew very well that without Chad, there would have been a Tom, or Dick, or even Harry last night.
In any case, it was Michael who had plotted against her last night. He wanted to create something that could threaten her.
Skyler’s pupils constricted. He did not expect Jocelyn to forgive Chad so easily. Yvonne smiled at Skyler. “Skyler , Miss White has already forgiven Chad. Please let the Jones family off on my account!”
Skyler was silent for a few seconds before he said slowly, “I am not doing this for your sake. I am doing this for Jocelyn’s sake. I hope the Jones family will behave themselves!”
Yvonne immediately understood what Skyler meant. He was giving face to Jim because she was his cousin sister. Chad was her cousin as well, although they were not close.
However, Skyler still gave Jim face. She quickly nodded and tugged at Chad. “Hurry and thank President Moore!” Chad quickly nodded. “Thank you, President Moore, for your magnanimity. Thank you, Miss White, for your forgiveness. I won’t do it again!”
Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief. Although Skyler did not look happy, the matter was finally settled.
She glanced at Skyler and said, “Skyler, do you have time? Chad and I will treat you and Miss White to dinner tonight!”
Skyler replied, “No need, you can leave now!”
Yvonne knew that Skyler always kept his word. She looked embarrassed as she nodded and left with Chad
Jocelyn also wanted to leave, but Skyler said, “Stay! I have something to say!” Jocelyn looked at him in surprise and stayed behind. When Yvonne heard this, she pursed her lips and glanced at the expressionless Skyler before leaving reluctantly. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Once Yvonne left, Skyler looked at Jocelyn.
He could not help but frown when he thought about how someone had repeatedly asked him if he had fallen for Jocelyn.
He stared at Jocelyn. Did this woman think so too?
Skyler’s eyes flashed and he said without batting an eyelid, “Jocelyn, I hope you don’t misunderstand for the reason that I saved you last night. If it were a man with guts, he would have done the same thing in that situation!”
Jocelyn was stunned. What did that mean?
Her expression changed slightly as she nodded. “No matter what, thank you for last night, President Moore!”
Skyler raised his eyebrows. Did she not understand what he meant?
His eyes darkened. “I’ve helped you twice not only because you’re a member of the company, but also because of the company’s reputation. More importantly, I don’t like people touching my things. Do you understand?”
Jocelyn’s expression changed slightly as she carefully controlled herself. “I understand. Thank you very much for today’s intervention, President Moore!”
Skyler frowned. Why did it feel like he still didn’t understand what he meant!
He continued, “I married you because I took advantage of the situation. I don’t like others using anything to coerce me. My marriage doesn’t need to be bound by useless feelings. Sometimes, I would tease you a little because you were interesting at that moment and didn’t mean anything else. Do you understand?”
If Josie was not his girlfriend who kept taking advantage of him, perhaps his current marriage partner would not be Jocelyn.
Jocelyn was stunned. Was he telling her not to have feelings for him?
Was he afraid that she would pester him over a marriage certificate?
Jocelyn’s lips twitched and her heart sank.
She was indeed grateful to him, but it was not to the extent of insisting on him and pestering him.
She did not expect him to start haranguing her so quickly. She had to know her limits.
She said seriously, “President Moore, I understand what you mean. You marrying me is just a matter of convenience. I have a favor to ask of you and I am only borrowing your power. There are no emotional entanglements. Don’t worry, I will never have any improper thoughts about you, President Moore!”
Jocelyn stood there quietly, as if she had suddenly bared her fangs and brandished her claws. Her kitten – like personality had vanished.
Skyler’s eyes flashed and he felt slightly uncomfortable.
However, he continued, “Our marriage is based on mutual benefits, so I want to give it a year. What do you think?”.
Jocelyn’s expression was reserved as she said politely and distantly, “It’s all up to you, President Moore! I have no objections!”
She was just borrowing power, what could she say!
Skyler tested her attitude and was very satisfied.
Then, he changed the topic without batting an eyelid. “Do you have any other thoughts about Howard? He’s sided with us this time and helped you. If you still want to deal with him, I can help you!”
Jocelyn was slightly taken aback. Was he trying to smooth things out? It was a pity that they were on different sides, so it was better to keep a distance
