Chapter 284
If Joe never had the chance to meet that special person, Skylar was fine with
maintaining their marriage while they stayed as friends. After all, physical intimacy had nothing to do with love.
“Okay, but be prepared. I’ve quite the appetite,” Skylar teased with a mischievous smile.
She truly enjoyed this perk as his wife.
Seeing Skylar’s smile, Joe’s usual icy expression gradually softened. He couldn’t help but grin as he answered, “Don’t worry. I’m great at earning money, so eat as much as you like.
“Well then, darling, I want more beef chunks. Please order another serving!” Skylar playfully winked at Joe, her smile radiant.
Under normal circumstances, she couldn’t bring herself to call him “darling“. However, since they were joking around, it felt okay to say it.
Skylar even emphasized the word deliberately.
Meanwhile, Joe’s gaze darkened slightly the second the word “darling” escaped her lips. A thought crossed his mind. If she were to call him “darling” instead of “Mr. Martin” in bed, then….
“Okay,” Joe answered softly as he tried to suppress the desire surging within him.
Skylar thought the dinner had broken the ice between them. They were no longer as polite, and it felt more comfortable being around each other.
Regardless, she still had a good sense of boundaries.
Skylar was constantly aware of the invisible line between them and ensured she did.
not cross it.
When they left the restaurant, she smiled at Joe. “Thank you, Mr. Martin. Dinner tonight was fantastic!”
Joe furrowed his brows at the words “Mr. Martin“..
“Why aren’t you calling me darling anymore?” he asked.
Skylar blushed. She could not bring herself to say it now. “I was just joking earlier, she explained.
“From now on, you can call me darling. I like it.” Joe looked intently at Skylar.
Skylar was stunned. The way Joe gazed at her was confusing. It was as if he genuinely liked her.
That was impossible.
Suddenly, the word “darling” felt like a hot coal in her mouth. She avoided his enigmatic gaze and said, “I’ll go get the car.”
But Joe followed her into the car.
Skylar was surprised. “Aren’t you going to ride in your own car?”
Whenever he got into her small car, he looked out of place. It was like trying to squeeze an elephant through a mouse hole.
Joe replied, “I’ve told the driver to leave, so I’m riding with you.”
Upon hearing that, Skylar didn’t say anything more..
Unbeknownst to her, Charles had just emerged from the restaurant and witnessed the pair getting into the car.
He was stunned at the sight. “Who’s that man?” he exclaimed.
Puzzled by the question, Charles‘ friend followed his gaze and asked, “What man?”
Charles ignored him. Yet Samuel, following behind them, saw Joe and Skylar getting
into the car, too.
Even though he didn’t see the man’s face, he saw Skylar.
“That’s your precious sister’s lover. It turns out she didn’t find a sugar daddy but a
boy toy. He doesn’t even have a car and rides in hers,” Samuel sneered, not mincing
his words.
Chapter 294
He had overestimated Skylar in the past. Being a mistress was not ideal, but surely it was better than getting involved with a boy toy.
Judging from the man’s well–defined physique from behind, Samuel could tell he had been working out.
