Chapter 212
Unfortunately, Samuel couldn’t see anything. He only saw a limited edition car that he couldn’t even book.
Samuel had been hearing Joe’s name a lot lately, especially since Williams Group was facing significant difficulties. If Joe helped a little–or even gave so much as a hint–they could turn things around.
“Seeing Joe here isn’t surprising, right? This hot spring resort is owned by the
Martins. It’s normal for them to come over occasionally to have some fun,” one of them said.
“Can we follow them?” Samuel asked.
One of his friends reacted as if he had heard something unthinkable. “Are you crazy? know who he is? He’s Joe Martin. If you dare to stalk him, you won’t be able to survive in Jipsburg.”
Do you
Samuel finally came back to his senses when he felt a chill down his spine. “I was just joking.”
“Don’t joke around like that. I heard Williams Grou asking Joe to help you out?
is in trouble. Are you thinking of
“If you can take my advice, I suggest you don’t entertain such thoughts. Your family and Joe have no relationship. Why would he help you?
“If you accidentally offend him, your family might miss the chance to turn things around. You can mess with anyone in Jipsburg, but not Joe Martin.”
Samuel completely gave up, not daring to have any thoughts about talking to Joe anymore.
After listening to his friend’s words, Samuel remembered something. Could it be that Martin Group refused to cooperate with Williams Group because of Maisy’s attempt to get close to Joe last time?
That couldn’t be it. Maisy was so smart, beautiful, gentle, and understanding. There was no way Joe could dislike her.
When Skylar got out of the car, she glanced around. The scenery was really good; it wasn’t much different from George’s mansion.
The last time she had been there, they had come at night, so she hadn’t gotten a clear look around. They had only soaked in the hot springs and hadn’t explored much either.
“I want to take a walk first. Do you want to come?” Skylar asked Joe.
“I’ll join you,” Joe said as he closed the door casually. He pointed ahead and continued, “We can take a walk down that way. There’s a golf course nearby. Do you want to play?”
“Sure, but I don’t know how to.” Skylar was very interested. She could climb mountains and swim, but she didn’t know how to play golf.
“I’ll teach you.
The path was very quiet, and no one was around. On both sides of the path, there were well–groomed little groves. If they got tired of walking, there were pavilions and chairs where they could sit and rest.
Not far into the walk, Joe naturally held Skylar’s hand. At first, Skylar didn’t react. She was completely immersed in the scenery.
She only realized that Joe was holding her hand when she was about to raise her hand to tidy her hair.
His fingers were long, and his skin was healthy and bronzed. That made her fair hand. look like a child’s hand.
Her fingers stiffened suddenly.
“Since we’re going to be real husband and wife, let’s adapt to each other now,” Joe said casually. It was as if he were talking about something very ordinary..
Her hand felt boneless, soft, and tender.
Adapt to each other…
Chapter 21
Skylar nodded earnestly, trying to relax as she said, “Okay.”
She thought about having to adapt to each other as real husband and wife. At that moment, a breeze brushed her face, and she suddenly calmed down.
Oh, right…
Skylar suddenly remembered. When they had been in the car earlier, Joe had asked her whether she knew what it meant for the two of them to come to the hot spring
resort together.
At that time, she had just finished a call with Natalie. Plus, they had just decided on a
major life event during lunch.
She had been in a daze and hadn’t thought much about his words. So, she had just
casually said that she knew.
She knew they had come to the hot spring resort to relax. But… if they were going to
be a real couple, they had to do that…
