Chapter 392
30 minutes later, Skylar sent Joe a message after arrivirig.
He was still on the way, about three to five minutes away. She decided to wait by the entrance. True to his word, Joe sirived in under five minutes. The two walked into the restaurant together.
As they entered, Maisy glared with resentment, sitting in a taxi.
It was Joe! She couldn’t understand why Skylar was so lucky to end up with Joe.
The taxi driver glanced at Maisy, “Miss, are you getting out or do you want to move?”
Maisy bit her lip, seething with anger.
“Keep driving.”
Just as they sat down and finished ordering, Joe received a message from John.
“Jeremy and Annabelle are still seeing each other. They just checked into a room at my hotel.”
Joe stared at the message, lost in thought.
Jeremy was usually so rational and cold. He would be able to outmaneuver anyone in business. However, he was completely irrational when it came to this matter.
Seeing Joe’s unreadable expression as he looked at his phone, Skylar remained silent.
“I heard about the Williams family’s news today.” Joe said, putting his phone aside.
“Do you think their issues will affect you in any way?” Skylar asked.
Although she could completely sever ties with the Williams family, she wondered if their connection might cause Joe some trouble.
She hadn’t met Joe’s other family members yet, but his and Gloria’s avoidance of the topic made her suspect a few things
“No,” Joe replied. The Williams family didn’t exist to him. Something nonexistent couldn’t affect him.
Skylar nodded and didn’t press further.
Dishes began arriving at the table: Skylar wasn’t a big fan of steaks–she could eat them but didn’t particularly enjoy them.
However, watching Joe eat with such elegance and refinement was a visual pleasure. She couldn’t help
but let her gaze linger on him.
Joe looked up, catching her in the act. Their eyes met, and Skylar blushed
Joe smiled and asked, “You’re staring Have you fallen for me?”

Skylar almost choked on her steak.
After swallowing, she said, “I like to appreciate beautiful things and people. You’re handsome, so there’s
nothing wrong with me looking at you more. It just means I have good taste.”
She was being realistic. They could be married and share a bed, but love was another matter.
Joe’s eyes darkened.
Skylar noticed Joe’s rapid mood shifts, making it hard to guess his thoughts.
Even though he was right before her, their hearts felt miles apart. It made sense–people who didn’t love each other couldn’t be close. Not knowing what he was thinking was normal.
After an intense session in the hotel room, Jeremy sat by the window, smoking.
He smoked several cigarettes, puffing fiercely. His phone screen was still on, displaying his messages. with Natalie.
Natalie had mentioned she was going on a three–day business trip.
