Skylar’s expression remained calm and indifferent as she replied, “I am.”

Joe took her hand firmly in his. He wrapped it entirely in his grasp and said, “She’s my wife.”

His firm

It was clear that he took great pride in her being his wife. This declaration also gave him the confidence and strength to invest his heart fully.

Watching from the sidelines, Edgar felt warmth spread through his chest. He thought to himself that Gloria could finally rest easy–Joe truly cared for Skylar

It was evident that Joe was standing up for Skylar before Edwin. It was something he had never done so earnestly before.

Edwin’s face darkened with anger. He thought Joe was merely an ungrateful son.

“You two only have a marriage certificate. Many people in Jipsburg City still don’t know about your relationship,” he said coldly.

Molly, who had yet to leave, subtly furrowed her brow at the scene.

Joe’s concern for Skylar was more pronounced than she had anticipated. There was a softness in Joe’s eyes when he looked at Skylar, perhaps even a tenderness he himself was unaware of.

“I’m preparing for the wedding. You’ll be notified to attend when it’s time. For now, we should focus on Grandma’s condition. If anything happens to her, you will be held accountable,” Joe said coldly.

Edwin’s anger was palpable. “Do you even realize what you’re saying?” he demanded.

The elderly had less resilience as they aged, so it was normal for them to suddenly feel unwell while on the phone. Yet Joe dared to blame him for it.

“There’s too much going on with the Martin family right now. You’d better postpone the wedding,” Edwin added sharply.

Skylar felt Edwin’s hostility acutely this time. Regardless of Joe’s earlier words, the wedding would have failed to take place.

Aside from Gloria, the rest of the Martin family would not tolerate Skylar staying with Joe.

Skylar had a rebellious streak and felt even more determined to stay with Joe under these

circumstances. She wanted the Martin family, who failed to care for Joe, to see them living harmoniously together.

Joe’s lips curled into a cold smile. “The Martin family has a lot going on lately. What does that have to do with me?”

He was determined to do what he wanted, and no one could stop him.

“The wedding must go on. I’ll not let my wife be wronged in any way,” Joe declared. His voice grew firmer with each word. His tone clearly indicated a fierce disagreement between him and his father.

Skylar kept her head down. She appeared obedient and silent. Yet, a ripple of doubt stirred within her. She wondered if Joe’s constant reference to her as his wife was merely a way to provoke Edwin. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

This thought was quickly pushed aside. Regardless of his reasons, she couldn’t dwell on it.

Edwin’s expression darkened further. “Your grandma isn’t feeling well today, and we’re in a hospital. It’s not the right time to discuss things. We’ll talk later.”

Joe sneered. He suddenly glanced at Molly. “Aren’t you leaving yet?”

Molly’s face stiffened immediately.

Having been Mrs. Martin for so many years, she was accustomed to being respected and treated with utmost care whenever she went. Her elevated status had made her forget what it was like to be treated with disdain.

Now, faced with Joe’s cold stare and the command to leave, she felt a storm of emotions rising within her.
