Rosa strode toward the orchard, her high heels clicking aggressively against the ground. She passed a few staff members who greeted her, but she didn't acknowledge them.
Walking in high heels was definitely inconvenient. Although the distance to the orchard seemed short, each step felt like it took forever.
At that moment, Skylar was still reminiscing with Joe. Skylar couldn't help but notice that he seemed completely unbothered by it all. In fact, Joe appeared genuinely interested. Encouraged, she shared as many as she could.
They had made significant progress today. Time flew by without her even realizing it. Reflecting on their past, Skylar realized just how many memories they had woven together during their short-lived marriage.
Suddenly, an incredulous gasp interrupted their conversation. "So it's you… Skylar, what are you doing here? You didn't sneak in just to see Ned, did you?"
Rosa's face was filled with shock. She never expected to catch Skylar in the act.
Earlier, Rosa had convinced herself that Skylar was still in Jipsburg, likely never to cross paths with her again. Yet now, there she was, standing right in front of her.
Moments ago, she had seen Skylar and Joe together, leaning in close. She couldn't make out what they were talking about, but the intimacy between them was undeniable. With Joe's back turned, his expression was hidden, but their proximity suggested that if they so much as tilted their heads, they could have easily kissed.
Anger boiled up within Rosa, her forehead veins throbbing with suppressed fury.
Joe turned to look at Rosa.
Yet Rosa couldn't ignore the growing distance in Joe's attitude toward her. It was a telltale sign that Skylar might have already revealed something about his past, perhaps even presented some proof of his real identity.
Joe was a cautious man who didn't trust easily, but Skylar had a disarming charm. If she showed him even a shred of evidence, he would inevitably start comparing them. And the moment he did, Rosa feared her chances of being cast aside would skyrocket.
She had always known there was a risk that Joe might regain his memories someday. But she had clung to the hope that she would be firmly established as his wife by then, perhaps even with a child to bind them together.
But encountering Skylar here in Jipsburg had upended everything, stirring chaos she had never imagined.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
