Chapter 83 We’re Married

Chloe was stunned and immediately turned around.

However, she saw no trace of Joseph. Instead, she spotted Icarus. She patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. “You must be seeing things. You scared me!”

“I wasn’t seeing things,” Emily insisted, but in the next second, Icarus vanished before she could point him out. She began to doubt herself. “Could I really be seeing things?”

“Is that so? While Jake’s looks are average, his uncle is a work of art. In fact, in all my years of existence, I’ve never seen a man as handsome as him.”

Emily rolled her eyes. “Once you see this guy, you won’t say that anymore.”

Chloe was intrigued by Emily’s confident tone and was about to inquire further when her phone rang. It was an unknown number.
