Chapter 246
Several eyes fell on Skylar as she and Paul entered Pearlhall Residence.
Skylar spotted Joe first. He was dressed in light gray sportswear, exuding at refreshing youthful air.
He looked at her with a little tenderness. Skylar thought she was seeing things. Perhaps he appeared younger today or wanted to pretend to be in love in front of Gloria.
Not to be outdone, Skylar also looked at him with affection.
Joe smiled faintly, thinking she was excellent at acting. People who didn’t know the truth would believe they were an inseparable couple.
Still…
His gaze lingered on her loving eyes for a few seconds. When Skylar smiled, her
shone like stars, as if she genuinely liked him.
He then unconsciously fell into thought.
“Come here, Skye.” When Gloria spotted Skylar, she instantly greeted her warmly.
Skylar stepped over and greeted, “Hello, Grandma.”
“You must have met Frank. He mentioned that you were restoring his antique painting.” When Skylar came over, Gloria introduced Frank to her.
Skylar greeted Frank, “Hello, Mr. Doherty Senior.”
Then, she turned to George and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Querbach.”

Frank nodded and smiled at Gloria. “When I first met her, I intended to introduce her
to my grandson. I had no idea that she was your granddaughter–in–law.
“I couldn’t find anyone to restore my painting at that time. Alex is professional and skilled, but he also said that he couldn’t restore it. I didn’t expect someone so young to be so talented.
“Gloria, you’re quite lucky to have such a wonderful granddaughter–in–law!”

He felt a pang of regret that he couldn’t be family with Skylar. If Skylar were his granddaughter–in–law, he would show her off to others.
Besides, she could also ensure that none of his possessions were counterfeits. She could even restore the broken antiques as well as the new.
“Of course, my granddaughter–in–law is exceptional! I don’t know how many other kinds of women there are out there, but there is only one Skye!” Gloria felt immensely
proud.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Joe. If he hadn’t been her grandson, she would have thought it a waste to pair Skylar with him.
Skylar deserved better. After all, Joe had a lot of issues and rarely spoke. Others said he had excellent self–control, but that was actually his one flaw.
Anyway, there was a stark contrast between them. Skylar was definitely better than
Joe!
“Yes, Skye is quite good. Many of the items I believed to be treasures turned out to be forgeries. Being cheated out of money is nothing, but it hurts my feelings. I’d cherished those things for so long for nothing.” George also chimed in.
Skylar felt shy when the three of them praised her so much.
Although she didn’t easily feel shy, she couldn’t take the repeated praise from her elders. Moreover, after Gloria praised her, she could sense Joe’s eyes on her.
He appeared to be examining whether she was as capable as the three elders had
said.
Skylar also glanced at Joe, hinting at him to stop looking at her.
Joe raised his eyebrow and walked to her side instead. The two appeared eye- catching when they stood together.
