Paute message was simple Joe asked him to take a day off as Skylar was too tired to work that day.
Alexander understood clearly what that implied. Young people were always quite active Caleb might find it hard to accept if he explained further.
Caleb pursed his lips and said, “Then I’ll come back tomorrow!”
He was determined to see Skylar. He suspected that maybe Skylar was secretly married and didn’t want people to know.
If it was a secret marriage, it meant she couldn’t be that much in love. Caleb wouldn’t keep his marriage a secret if he married someone he loved. He was young, so he still had a chance.
When Skylar woke up again, it was already 2:00 pm. She woke up to the sound of Joe answering a phone call. She vaguely heard him greet the caller as “Grandma“. and then she was fully awake.
She heard Joe say, “We won’t be returning to Pearlhall Residence tonight. We’re eating at home today. I’ve already ordered food to be delivered. Skye is too tired from last night. We’ve been sleeping in since morning.”
Skylar became more and more alert. She was now too embarrassed to face Gloria.
Gloria was astonished to hear that Skylar was tired and that they’d been sleeping in. She gripped the phone and pressed for details, “Is it what I’m thinking?”
Joe smirked and replied, “What do you think it is, Grandma?”
“You rascal! Be gentle with Skylar! You hear me?” Gloria said before hanging up.
She quickly called for Agatha. “You’ll have more work for the next couple of days.
Make sure the kitchen prepares some nourishing foods and delivers them to the Galaxy Villa. My grandson doesn’t know how to hold back.”
Agatha was also taken aback.
“Yes, madam. I’ll get on it right away.”
While Joe was on the phone with Gloria, Skylar wrapped a towel around herself.
After he finished the call and turned back, he saw Skylar about to leave.
“Did I wake you up?” Joe asked.
Skylar stopped and looked at him.
“No, I just woke up.” She firmly denied hearing any part of the conversation.
Joe smiled and walked toward her. “I’ll get you some clothes. It’s uncomfortable walking around like that.”
As Joe approached, Skylar realized he wasn’t wearing a shirt. She was shocked to see he had some scratch marks on his chest.
Skylar couldn’t fathom how those scratches got there. She quickly looked away.
Fortunately, he had a towel around his waist. Otherwise, she would have wanted to cover her eyes. It was quite an indecent sight.
“No, no, I can do it myself. My room is just next door,” Skylar said as she hurried away.
In her haste, she pulled a muscle and yelped, “Ah!”
Joe scooped Skylar up.
“Dr. Grey will bring some medicine soon. Applying it will make you feel better. I’m sorry, I couldn’t control myself last night.”
“Likewise…” Skylar muttered.

As Joe picked her up, her
eyes were leveled with the marks on his chest. She had
been quite wild herself.
