Chapter 881

Rowan was skilled at charming girls. A few well-chosen sentences could fool them into believing he adored them. “Alright. I like being pampered by you anyway,” Jenny thought, convinced he adored her. He was utterly at her beck and call. He had also assured her his engagement to Minerva was a family mandate, and he would break it off soon.

They were lost in each other's gaze, only noticing Aiken and Skylar as they approached. Jenny's expression changed at the sight of Skylar, her grip tightening on Rowan's hand. Rowan remained unfazed, greeting Skylar. "What a coincidence to meet you here," he said, glancing at Aiken. Why was Skylar at the hospital with him?

"We were visiting friends," Skylar replied, her eyes lingering on their clasped hands. When had they gotten together? Did Rowan know about her? Jenny's avoidance of eye contact confirmed Skylar's suspicions, but Rowan remained unaware.

He explained honestly, "Jenny wasn't feeling well, so I brought her to the hospital."

Although silent, Jenny watched Skylar and Aiken from the corner of her eye. They seemed very familiar. She'd heard Aiken was difficult, but he appeared quite amiable with Skylar. A thought struck her: had Skylar been unfaithful to Joe with Aiken? If not, why were they together at the hospital?

"Alright, go see a doctor. I'll take my leave," Skylar said flatly.

Rowan led Jenny to the elevator. Inside, Jenny whispered, "Why were Skylar and Aiken together? You know Aiken, right? I heard he's a notorious playboy. If Joe saw them, he'd be furious." She considered using this information to blackmail Skylar.

Rowan frowned, reprimanding her. "Don't spread rumors. Skylar isn't who you think she is, and her relationship with Aiken isn't what you imagine." While he didn't know why Skylar was with Aiken, he knew she wasn't the woman Jenny perceived her to be.

"Why are you so protective? You've barely met her! Rowan, be honest. Do you have a crush on Skylar? She's beautiful, works for Mr. Gardner Senior, gorgeous and capable. Joe likes her, Aiken might, and…do you like her?" Jenny pressed, suspiciously. Why did so many men seem drawn to Skylar?

Rowan's expression froze. He scolded, "What are you talking about? If Skylar heard you, how could I ever face her again? I like Skylar, but not that way. She deserves my respect. Don't ever let me hear that again."
