Chapter 2222
"Hello, did you need anything?"June asked politely.
"We're going to be a family soon. Do you think it's appropriate to speak in such a distant manner? I just came out. Let's meet. As your sister-in-law, I didn't even get to chat with you," At the other end of the phone, the woman's tone was a little unhappy.
June frowned. To be honest, she didn't know if she should meet the woman.
"What's wrong? You're married to Jonas. Why don't you treat me as your family?" The woman's voice was full of mockery as if she knew what June was thinking.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
June didn't want to argue with the woman, so she agreed to meet her.
Skylar sat in a cafe. That day, she purposely dressed herself up. Usually she would dress up more maturely in order to cater to her older husband. But that day, she dressed up younger. She was actually in her early 30s, so that look was quite eye-catching.
June followed the waiter and entered the private room. When she saw Skylar, she was stunned. For a moment, she failed to associate the young and beautiful woman in front of her with the hostess of that night.
"Nice to meet you, Skylar," June greeted her politely.
Skylar's eyes instantly fixed on her. Although she tried hard to make herself look younger, in front of June who was in her early twenties, she still felt the ruthlessness of time. No matter how expensive her skincare products were, she could not compare with the young woman in front of her. She was pure and natural, without any touch ups, which made her more dazzling.
June dressed casually in a white sweater and a pair of jeans. Her long hair was let down with light makeup. She looked pure and full of vitality.
"Sit down," Skylar suddenly was in a bad mood, and her voice was cold.
June sat down.
"What do you want to drink? Order it yourself," Skylar was still looking at her. When she thought that June could sleep in Jonas' arms every night, and even be loved by him, her heart was like being stabbed by a knife. It was so hurt that even the blue veins on the back of her hand popped out.
The man whom she had loved deeply before currently belonged to another little b*tch.
"It's okay. I just had lunch with a friend. I'll just have a glass of water," replied June.
"You don't have to be shy. How did you get to know Jonas? What is your job?" Skylar had already investigated June's interpersonal relationships and knew that she used to be a small actress. She asked on purpose.
June was most afraid that others would ask her about her acquaintance with Jonas, because it was really hard to tell.
"I met him by chance. I work in the entertainment industry now," June replied stiffly.
"Really?" Skylar saw through her lie at a glance. Met by chance? Didn't she approach him for the sake of money?
She was really a liar. She didn't know what Jonas liked about her. She was untalented, she got the position only because of her good appearance. Thinking of those degree certificates she got abroad, Skylar suddenly felt sorry for herself. In order to be with Jonas, she'd worked hard and went to the same university as him, but in the end?
She lost to a good-for-nothing woman. It was said that she didn't even get into college.
"Yes," June felt embarrassed as if she had been seen through, but she could only bite the bullet and nod.
"I didn't expect that Jonas would like a girl like you. I always thought that he likes mature girls," Skylar said sarcastically.
June instantly became curious. She looked up boldly at Skylar and asked, "Skylar, do you know who my husband once liked?"
Skylar did not expect that she dared to ask such a question. She instantly laughed and said, "What's wrong? Is Jonas not good enough to you that you still want to know his past history?"
"No, no, no. I'm just curious. Even if I ask him, he won't tell me," June blushed and quickly shook her head and explained.
Skylar looked at her blushing face, her fair skin seemed to be dyed with the colors of blossoms. It was so lovely and beautiful. The young, naive, and blushing look must be the man's favorite.
Did she win Jonas' heart easily with that?
It was as if her face was being slashed a few times with a knife, making her look extremely ugly.
"Jonas is in his thirties. Of course he
has his past. He also used to like someone but because of various reasons, they couldn't be together believe that he must be regretful," As Skylar said those words, her heart was in great pain. It was the greatest régret and the most painful loss in her life that she didn't marry Jonas.
Sometimes, she really wanted to do something bold and reckless. She wanted to get Jonas drunk so that he could not tell who she was and slept with her for a night.
June's heart skipped a beat. Her rapid heartbeat seemed to slow down in an instant.
She held her breath and stared at Skylar, repeatedly thinking about the meaning of her words.
For some reason, they couldn't be together?
Was it because of the social stigma, their genders, and their identities that they couldn't be together?
The result had been confirmed and June's mind was at the verge of collapsing.
Although she had already accepted the result, she still could not calm down.
"Skylar, do you know who that
person is? I want to see her," June did not know where her courage came from, she wanted to pry into Jonas'-secret. Because if she did not take any action, she would go crazy. Even if she could not do anything when she saw that man, she just wanted to see him.
There was a flash of disgust in Skylar's eyes She sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that Jonas will be angry that you asked such a question? Don't think that you can pry into his secret presumptuously after you get married to him. You are not qualified to know the person he used to love."
June didn't expect that Skylar would mock her as if she had an ulterior motive.
June's eyes darkened and she said self-deprecatingly, "I'm just curious. I don't have any other motives."
"Even if you are curious, don't expose his scars so rashly. Whom he loved has nothing to do with you," Skylar's heart was also in pain. She suddenly didn't want to see June. She took the bag, got up, and left, leaving June alone on the sofa in a daze.
"What's going on? You called me over and left just like that? Didn't you say we're a family?" June was miserable but could only get up and leave.
