Skylar's POV:
Jerome told me that he wanted to talk to Linda and clear things up with her, and I agreed.
I was a little curious about how their conversation would go, so I went over to Linda's room to check up on them.
I stood outside the door but didn't hear any sound coming from inside.
It was as if no one was in the room.
When I noticed that the curtains in Linda's room were not completely drawn, I took a few steps forward.
Through the gap in the curtains, I saw Linda take her clothes off before kissing Jerome.
It was shockingly intimate.
Was I seeing things? Were they really kissing right now? Weren't they clearing things up? Did Jerome lie to me? Was he planning on cheating on me with Linda? He knew Linda first, and it seemed as if I was the third party in their relationship.
It all felt so ridiculous.
I couldn't accept the scene before me and no longer wanted to watch, so I quickly turned around and left.
I made it back to my room somehow, but my mind was in a mess.
I leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the floor.
My hands rose to my head as I tried to keep calm.
However, what I had seen continued to play in my mind.
I told myself that I should trust Jerome and our love, but the scene just now was so real.
I couldn't look past it.
He must have gotten back together with Linda recently.
I should have considered this possibility earlier.
Jerome and Linda used to love each other so much that her disappearance led him to be depressed for years.
On top of that, she had given birth to his child.
How could he remain indifferent to her? If Andy was the fruit of their love, how could he give her up so easily? It became difficult to breathe even though I tried to keep control over my emotions.
It was difficult enough to love someone and maintain a relationship with them.
It was even harder to give up on that person.
At the moment, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know what to do.
Someone knocked on the door of my room.
After taking a few calming breaths, I opened the door and acted as if nothing was wrong.
Daniel and Helen had come to see me.
