Gloria was surprised to see Joe so eager to take Skylar home.
As she thought about the reason for the haste, Gloria’s ears turned red with
embarrassment.
She had learned about the general situation from that day. Someone had drugged Joe, and coincidentally, Skylar was also present.
Both of them were affected, and ultimately, they ended up together.
The maid who went to clean up Galaxy Villa mentioned that the pair were now
staying in the same room.
Gloria had been young once, too. So, she raised her hand and urged them, “Go on. I’m tired and need to rest. You two should enjoy your time together.”
She figured it was best not to play the third wheel between them.
Skylar was somewhat bewildered. Did Joe have something to talk to her about?
Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to leave?
With Gloria’s urging, the two left Pearlhall Residence. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
After getting into the car, Skylar asked, “Why the rush? Is something wrong?”
They had not even had dinner yet. Skylar’s initial plan was to dine with Gloria at
Pearlhall Residence.
Joe’s gaze darkened slightly, not knowing how to respond. When he saw Skylar at Pearlhall Residence, he just had the impulse to take her home. Once the thought crossed his mind, he was somewhat baffled.
Joe paused momentarily before replying, “Nothing’s wrong. I just thought we could eat some stew. There’s a restaurant chain under the group’s ownership, and they
have a selection of seven or eight stew bases. Let’s see if there’s something you like.”
Skylar’s eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing that. “That’s great! I’ve been craving stew for the past few days.”
The thought of choosing from seven or eight stew bases made her incredibly happy.
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant.
Despite being a stew restaurant, the decoration was extravagant. It truly lived up to the standards of the Martin Group.
As soon as they stepped in, the aroma wafted through the air.
Skylar and Joe headed to a private room on the eighth floor. There, she excitedly chose two stew bases that she liked, with the option of selecting up to four.
Moreover, the variety of ingredients available in the stew restaurant surpassed those found in many similar eateries.
Skylar’s eyes sparkled with delight. She was a true stew lover!
“I’ve ordered mine. See if there’s anything you like to eat,” she said, brimming with
anticipation.
Joe hummed in acknowledgment and looked through the menu seriously.
“I’m going to the restroom,” Skylar said and rose from her seat.
Joe glanced at her, then lowered his head to continue going through the menu. He
ordered a mildly spicy stew base and a vegetable stew base, both of which he could
enjoy.
After ordering the food, Joe idly waited for Skylar to return and for their dishes to
arrive.
A few minutes later, Skylar emerged from the restroom and made her way back to
the private room.
Right then, Charles and his friend exited another room to use the restroom. As they
were about to enter the restroom, Charles suddenly halted in his tracks.
“What’s the matter, Charles?” his friend asked.
Charles blinked. “I must have been mistaken. It couldn’t have been Skye.”
He thought the woman, who just entered one of the private rooms, bore a striking. resemblance to Skylar from behind.
Charles almost called out to her earlier. However, he quickly realized that Skylar was unlikely to dine in such an expensive establishment. One could eat over ten meals at other places for the cost
of one here.
“Who’s Skye?” his friend asked again, confused.
Charles chuckled. “My sister. I thought the woman from earlier was my sister.”
He then took out his phone and sent a message to Skylar.
