Chapter 805
Skylar hurried to Galaxy Villa right after work.
As soon as she stepped inside, the aroma of fresh fruits caught her attention.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Gloria turned at the sound of her voice. "Skye's back? Come over here and try the cantaloupe from Pearlhall Residence's orchard."
Skylar glanced at Joe, who was eating the cantaloupe. He had already looked up as she entered. Their eyes met for a moment before both turned away in unspoken agreement.
"I could smell the cantaloupe as soon as I walked in. I've been craving it for the past couple of days," Skylar said, moving toward the table.
At that moment, Edgar brought in a plate of freshly cut fruit. The fruit was incredibly fresh, with a strong aroma and exceptional sweetness. Skylar checked the time after sitting down and eating two slices of cantaloupe.
"Grandma, you all enjoy the fruit. I'm going to prepare dinner so you can taste my cooking," Skylar said as she got up to head to the kitchen. Gloria quickly stopped her. "No, no, you must be tired after a long day. We have got plenty of people here. Edgar brought a chef with him, and they are all busying in the kitchen. Just rest and wait."
Joe found an excuse to go upstairs. "I have some things to handle. I'll be in my study room."
Gloria gave Joe a disapproving look as he left.
Skylar let out a sigh of relief. Maintaining the façade of a loving couple in front of Gloria felt increasingly awkward, given their current situation. It wasn't as easy-going as it used to be.
About half an hour later, the chef had already finished preparing dinner.
Skylar went upstairs to find Joe in his study room. After knocking a few times, she heard him say, "Come in."
She opened the door and walked in. "It's time for dinner."
Joe looked up at her. His gaze was sharp and intense, as if trying to read her thoughts.
Skylar noticed that Joe was holding a book, realizing that his earlier excuse about having something to handle was likely just a pretext. He probably didn't want to appear affectionate with her in front of Gloria. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The silence between them stretched on for a while.
"Let's go downstairs," Joe said in a deep, controlled voice.
Skylar nodded. "Alright."
An hour later, Gloria left the Galaxy Villa.
In the car, she sighed with
frustration. "I can tell that they both have feelings for each other. Why don't they just confess their
feelings? It really makes me anxious towatch." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
As someone with experience, she had easily spotted the subtle situation during dinner.
Edgar said with a smile, "Young
people are like that. Navigating relationships was never easy. They have to take it step by step with caution. So, don't worry too much, Mrs Martin Senior. Regardless of everything, it's clear to me that Mr. Martin has feelings for Mrs. Martin." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Never mind, never mind. I won't worry about them anymore," Gloria said. She shook her head as she resigned herself to the situation.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
After returning to the Galaxy Villa, Skylar stayed in the guest room. The room she had stayed in when she first arrived at the Galaxy Villa.
After Gloria left, she tidied up a bit before preparing to head upstairs.
Just as she was about to enter the guest room, Joe suddenly pulled her aside and pinned her against the wall.
She looked up in surprise at Joe, who was now very close.
"Joe, what are you doing?"
They said a woman's heart was hard to understand, but Skylar found Joe the hardest to understand.
He was talking about divorce one moment and then creating intimate situations the next.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together from the waist down, and she could clearly feel the changes in his body.
