Annie and Skylar’s eyes met. Annie, composed and graceful, spoke with a hint of surprise. “Skylar, it’s really you!”
“You two know each other?” Steven and Janine exclaimed in unison.
“Imagine that! Downstairs, you mentioning your sister Skylar jogged my memory–l
have a friend named Skylar too! We both did a double–take, wondering if it could be
the same person. And guess what? Small world–it is!”
Steven hadn’t expected this. “What a coincidence!”
“Yeah, what a coincidence,” Janine chimed in, a wide smile on her face. It seemed
like fate was bringing them together, destined to become family.
Skylar quickly composed herself and nodded with a smile. “Indeed, it’s quite a
coincidence.”
However, a doubt lingered in her mind. Annie had recently been involved with Joe, even using tactics to separate her from him. Shortly after, she became Steven’s girlfriend.
“So you’re the sister Steven talks about,” Annie said warmly. “He mentioned you’re brilliant, working on Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. I didn’t expect you to excel in both
work and the kitchen! Did you prepare some of these dishes? I’m eager to try them.‘
It seemed like Annie and Skylar were getting along well. Steven was delighted to see
them bonding.
“Skylar’s a great cook,” Steven said. “Of course, Mom’s cooking is excellent too. Try everything and see if you can guess which dishes Skylar made.”
“Sure,” Annie replied eagerly.
Watching Steven and Annie together, Jannie’s eyes welled up. Steven would finally
have someone to care for him.
The atmosphere at the table was pleasant. Skylar maintained her smile throughout hiding any change in emotions from Janine and Steven.

Only when everyone was nearly full did Janine ask, “Annie, how did you and Skylar
meet?”
Annie’s smile faltered slightly. “We met at a dinner party through a mutual friend. I remember thinking Skylar was stunning, like a celebrity. We’ve crossed paths a few times since then, but everyone’s been busy. Maybe we could meet more often in the future,” she added with a hint of anticipation.
After Annie finished speaking, she exchanged a smile with Steven. Anyone could see that the two had a close relationship.
“Ms. Silver, are you still working at the TV station?” Skylar asked casually, wiping her mouth with a napkin, her smile still devoid of any trace of uneasiness.
Skylar knew about Joe’s anger and the resulting consequences for the Silver family. Things hadn’t been going well for them lately.
Annie’s grip tightened on her cup. “My show was suspended for a while,” she said casually, picking up a piece of meat, “but I’ll be hosting a new program soon. Maybe I’ll interview elites from various fields, and Steven will definitely be the first guest.”
As their eyes met, Steven’s were filled with youthful romantic affection. Annie seemed equally focused.
Janine felt a touch of self–consciousness, thinking how wonderful young love was.
“I see,” Skylar said, not pursuing the topic further.
Though their relationship was new, Steven’s genuine affection and admiration for Annie were clear. Skylar, having never seen him so fond of a woman, couldn’t help but wonder why it had to be Annie.
After dinner, Janine wouldn’t let Annie wash the dishes, it being her first visit. Skylar had volunteered, but Steven stopped her. He and Janine went to wash the dishes together, allowing Janine to ask about Annie, whom she very much approved of.
