Chapter 42
Skylar parked along the road. Then, she hastily opened Instagram on her phone and checked her main feed.
The latest post was Caleb’s. It was a selfie of him pretending to look cool while taking the bus to work.
After that, she saw Christopher’s post. He had uploaded three pictures with her.
There was one picture each from his high school and college days. The last one was a picture they had taken long before the period Skylar had been reborn.
Anyone would think the two were an affectionate couple after seeing those pictures.
As Skylar looked at them now, she only found them jarring. She even wondered why she couldn’t have gone back to when she was in high school instead.
If that had happened, she could’ve avoided having any relationship with Christopher altogether.
She looked at the caption under the pictures and was shocked. Christopher had written a long paragraph about their deep feelings for each other.
He had even said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her!
Moreover, he’d asked his friends on social media to serve as witnesses for his proclamation. He wrote, God may punish me however severely if I ever cheat on Skylar.”
Finally, he announced his plan to propose to Skylar and hoped they could start a happy family.
Christopher and Skylar had many mutual acquaintances and friends from high school. Because of that, many likes and congratulations overflowed his post.
Skylar was still on the phone with Charles at that point.
Charles estimated that Skylar had already finished reading Christopher’s scummy post.
“You’re done looking at it, right, Skye? Don’t you think he’s mentally deranged? Steven agrees with me that he’s always been odd. It’s like he was always peacocking. He’s truly a scumbag!”
“I’ll resolve this matter and make a post clarifying that he and I have broken up. By the at work going well these days, Charles?” Skylar spoke calmly.
way, is everything
She had already seen Christopher’s rotten side. So, risking her relationship with her social media friends. wasn’t a big deal.
“Don’t worry about me. I’ve gotten to act out scenes with lines these past two days. I even get to stand in for the male lead today! So, rest easy. I’ll work hard, and maybe someday I can bring home the best male lead award!” Charles guffawed while speaking.
Reality could be cruel, but Charles believed one should still dare to dream. After all, there was no telling if one’s dreams could come true someday.

Skylar knew Charles had always been optimistic, so she praised him generously. “You’ve always had great acting skills! You’re better than any of the male actors I’ve seen!”
Charles burst out laughing after being showered with Skylar’s compliments.
After the siblings ended their call, Skylar posted on her social media.
That sa
said, she feared Gloria would worry after reading what she had posted. So, she made it so that Gloria and Edgar were the only ones who couldn’t see her post.
Skylar’s post contained a picture of Christopher and Maisy hugging intimately.
The caption read, “Wishing nothing but eternal happiness for this bitch and dickhead. I’d also like to make This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
a formal announcement that that scummy Christopher and I broke up on the 30th of last month.”
Once she posted it, her phone kept chiming due to the influx of Instagram notifications..
Skylar didn’t pay them any mind since she was rushing to the antique street.
Soon, Skylar arrived at Daniel’s store. That was when she noticed Daniel and Caleb staring at her with concerned expressions.
“U–Um, Skye, how about you take the day off? Restoring antiques takes a long time anyway. It won’t matter if you rest for one or two days,” Daniel cautiously suggested.
Caleb was usually carefree and didn’t take things too seriously. Yet, even he seemed more cautious at that moment.
“Hey, how about I give you a ride on my motorcycle? It’s pretty thrilling, and you’ll definitely forget about that son of a bitch!”
Skylar chuckled. “I’m fine.”
“Really?” the men asked simultaneously.
“I wouldn’t have posted to my social media if I was unhappy.”
That’s great!” the two
replied.
Skylar looked at the men, feeling a warm sensation in her chest. “I’ll go and wash my hands before starting the restoration work.”
While she did so, Daniel and Caleb exchanged words in hushed voices.
