Chapter 675

Jenny said, "No need. I was just passing by. Since you're busy, I won't bother you." She quickly turned and left.

Minerva didn't immediately close the door. As Jenny entered the elevator, Minerva chuckled softly, puzzled by Jenny's sudden appearance.

From behind, Rowan asked, "Why is the door open?"

Minerva turned to Rowan. "Jenny was here. I asked her to wait, but she said she had nothing important and left. Should we call her?"

Rowan studied Minerva briefly before replying coldly, "No need."

Minerva smiled, unfazed by his indifference. "Okay."

Meanwhile, Jenny fled in a panic. Tears streamed down her face as she sat in a cab, feeling abandoned. She was bewildered by Rowan's actions. How could he so easily be with another woman? What did she mean to him? She sensed Minerva was different from his other women; his past relationships were casual flings. But Minerva, a socialite with a prestigious background, was engaged to him. Jenny felt utterly lost and confused.

After leaving the hospital, Skylar and Joe didn't return directly to Galaxy Villa. Instead, they walked along the city center's pedestrian street. Under the night sky, the bustling street was illuminated by neon lights, highlighting crowded shops. This was their first stroll through such a commercial area together.

Passing a popular smoothie shop with a long line, Skylar glanced at it curiously.

Joe asked, "Do you want some?"

"Yes," Skylar replied, nodding. It seemed wrong not to grab a snack or drink while shopping.

"Let's go, then," Joe said, striding toward the end of the line. Skylar followed.

The trendy shop had a long queue, with customers quickly photographing their drinks.

Skylar asked, "What do you want?"

"Nothing," Joe replied, showing no interest in the sweet drinks.

Skylar wasn't surprised; Joe's diet was always simple. She remembered he didn't even eat breakfast when she first moved into Galaxy Villa.

Soon, it was their turn. Skylar ordered a signature smoothie. Just as she was about to take a sip, she noticed Joe watching her. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Joe's eyes sparkled. "Aren't you going to take a photo?"

Skylar belatedly pulled out her phone. Joe, dissatisfied with her attempt, snatched the phone, held it high, and kissed her forehead. The resulting photo captured their kiss, with the smoothie shop queue and neon lights in the background.
