Chapter 91
Jocelyn was stunned. Since when was she Skyler’s companion?
Lexie had loosened her grip and was standing to the side waiting for her.
Jocelyn was just about to raise her question when she noticed Skyler’s warning gaze and quietly shut up
Skyler placed his hand on her waist. To outside eyes, he was practically half-hugging her into his embrace. They looked very close.
He looked at Yvonne coldly. “Can you leave already?”
Yvonne was resentful as she looked toward Jim.
Jim was already smiling as he went to pester Lexie. “Xixi, I didn’t think we’d meet here!”
Lexie’s expression was cold, like she did not want to see him.
Jim touched his nose sheepishly. “Aw, don’t be so cold!”
Lexie remained cold as usual, treating him like air.
Yvonne looked at Skyler, aggrieved, and noted that he was expressionless as always.
She finally glared at Jocelyn and turned away angrily.
Jocelyn looked at Skyler. “Mr. Moore, can you explain what’s going on?”
A look of disgust flashed across Skyler’s face. “She knew I didn’t have a female companion and tried to get involved. It wouldn’t be good for me to lose my cool at someone else’s dinner!”
Jocelyn pulled away from Skyler and sighed helplessly. “Mr. Moore, how could you do this? Yvonne already hates me to begin with and I’m afraid she’ll loathe me to the bone now!”
Skyler felt the touch disappear from his hand and he felt a faint loss in his heart.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jocelyn. “What? Are you afraid?”
Jocelyn pressed her lips together. “That’s not true. I just don’t think you needed to do this. In fact, you could have sent her away by making up an excuse!”
Skyler’s expression was conflicted as he looked at Jocelyn He did not say anything.
Of course, he would not tell Jocelyn that he saw Zayn coming toward Jocelyn again just now, he was obviously coming to look for her
He was subconsciously unhappy and without much thought, he immediately pulled Jocelyn over as a shield
Sure enough, the moment he pulled Jocelyn into his arms, Zayn’s footsteps stilled and he turned away
Jocelyn’s eyes flashed. “President Moore, are you unhappy that I said that?”
Skyler shifted his gaze, not looking at her. His expression turned indifferent. “You don’t have the ability to affect my mood that easily, but you don’t seem to understand one thing. You should have stepped up without hesitation when I needed you as a shield instead of saying that I should have made up excuses to find a way!”
His gaze fell onto her face. “Do you not think that as someone who is in a marriage with me, you are supposedly the most suitable person for me to use to refuse other women? Why shouldn’t I use you, my wife, who is responsible for this, rather than someone else instead?”
Jocelyn glanced at Skyler’s expression, which seemed to say, “I don’t have so much free time to find other excuses!
Her expression shifted again. “Alright, Mr. Moore, you’re right!”
Skyler hummed in agreement. “You will follow me for the rest of the dinner party!”
Jocelyn pressed her lips tight as she smiled. “Alright, that’s no problem!”
In her heart, she thought bitterly about how unexpectedly that after working for a long time, she would become a tool after coming to the Claude family’s dinner tonight!
Jocelyn followed Skyler around for the remaining of the dinner.
Not only did she help Skyler ward off a large number of conniving individuals, but no men also bothered her either.
Halfway through the birthday dinner, several couples suddenly proposed to leave in a hurry.
The Claude family members thought that some emergency had occurred for them and did not keep them
At this moment, however, Jocelyn who was beside Skyler clearly sensed something off with her body
Jocelyn paid it no heed at first, she just thought she was running a fever.
Her face was red and her body was getting hot.
She consoled herself, saying that it was just a fever and to endure a little more before bidding Zayn farewell
In the end, her body got worse
Skyler heard movement from her and his ear twitched as he automatically turned around to look at her
The moment he did, his hand inadvertently telt Jocelyn’s arm
He immediately realized that something was wrong with her Her body was really holi
He grabbed Jocelyn’s ann and tell her forehead “Do you have a lever?”
She gasped haid “I dont know! It’s it uncomfortable!”
Skyler frowned hercely “I’ll tell the Claudes and take you to a doctor!”
Jocelyn nodded with discomfort. “Un!”
Skyler was a little worried and said to Jim and Lexie, “You two look after her first, I’ll be right back!”
Skyler said his greetings to the elders of the Claude family and quickly came back.
When he did, he noted that Jocelyn’s body had gone weak and her hands were on the buffet table.
It looked like she could hardly stand.
His expression was a little solemn. “Can you still walk?”
Jocelyn nodded, turning around in a daze to begin walking.
In the end, she even got the direction wrong. Skyler pulled her over unhappily. When his hand ended up touching Jocelyn’s skin, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
