Chapter 100
Gloria looked at the photo and grinned. “Okay, my plan is going in the right direction.”
“Did the two get closer?” George asked.
Gloria replied smugly, “Of course. I didn’t plan the trip to the hot spring resort just for them to go into the
hot spring.”
Chuckling, George nodded. “The older, the wiser. You had all kinds of ideas when you were young, and now you’re even better.”
Gloria laughed and looked solemn again. “You know my health and the Martin family’s situation. If Joe doesn’t have a sensible person by his side, he’ll have to face those people alone after I leave. It’ll be too
much for him.”
“Skye is a sweet girl. Viola has always been right,” George said with a stern look in his eyes.
Gloria and George had been through a lot in their lives, yet many things were out of their control even when they were at this age.
They had done what they could, and the youngsters should figure out the rest themselves.
After taking the photo and sending it to Gloria, Skylar stood up and went back to the original spot.
Joe set his phone own and saw Skylar avoiding him, treating him as though he was such a nuisance. She went to a spot furthest away from him. His face instantly grew grimmer at that sight.
Somehow, he felt irritated.
Skylar found the right angle and leaned backward before closing her eyes comfortably. She was enjoying the serenity and paid no heed to Joe.
She thought he would want her to stay away from him.
All the villas were attached with partitions built between the hot springs. They could easily hear what others said if it was quiet.
Just then, a sound that would make one blush came. The sound seemed to come from the villa next door.
It wasn’t clear, but they could tell what kind of sound it was.
Skylar blushed slightly.
If she were the only one there, she would listen to it just for fun. However, the situation became awkward because Joe was also present/
When she opened her eyes, she saw Joe looking at her.
Their eyes met.
Skylar felt Joe look grim, and his dark gaze looked exceptionally terrifying.
At times like this, other couples probably couldn’t hold themselves back.
Now that Joe and her were trapped in such a situation, Skylar couldn’t help blushing.
They had been in the hot spring for more than ten minutes. She felt a little dizzy after soaking in it for too long, so she stood up. “I… I’m tired. I’ll go back to rest.”
Joe raised an eyebrow as he watched Skylar flee the scene.
He could feel a sense of desire surge within him, and he instantly furrowed his brows.
When Skylar arrived at the door, she heard a soft female voice. “Mr. Hughes, I love you so much…”
The sound cut in and out, so she couldn’t hear it clearly. But she seemed to hear the mention of “Mr. Hughes.”
“Mr. Hughes,” she wondered.
She stopped and recalled what Natalie had told her that day at the bar. Women tended to have good
instincts sometimes. They would easily notice the changes in their partner.
Just like her previous life, Skylar could feel the changes in Christopher. However, back in Williams Residence, she had to donate her blood. At the same time, Jeffrey and Sadie had been picking on her, so
she couldn’t be bothered to delve into his changes.
She had underestimated humanity and hadn’t expected someone to be this despicable.
Nonetheless, everyone was different. She didn’t want Natalie to get betrayed.
Hence, she wondered if the “Mr. Hughes” that woman had called out was the person she had in mind or if it was just a coincidence.
She frowned.
