Chapter 93


    When Joe met Skr for the first time, he knew she was beautiful and stood out among the crowd.


    She looked gentle as she busied herself in the kitchen. Her soft look would make one forget about


    how tired. they felt.


    Skr smiled when she saw Joe standing at the kitchen door. “I’ve prepared two dishes. Would you


    join me for a meal?”


    “Okay,” Joe replied.


    Perhaps because he was home, his head hurt less. It was probably because he felt more relieved.


    He had drunk a few sses of alcohol during the gathering that night. He had barely eaten


    anything, but he wasn’t hungry. However, he suddenly felt slightly hungry when he saw Skr’s


    smiling face.


    After getting changed upstairs, he went downstairs. On the dining table were two dishes and two


    tes of pasta.


    She had prepared sd and steak.


    Although these weremon dishes, she made them look exceptionally appetizing


    “Mr. Martin, thank you for today,” Skr thanked him as soon as she took a seat.

    “No trouble at all. You don’t have to thank me.” Joe was slightly displeased at the way Skr


    addressed him. She sounded very distant when she thanked him. However, he wasn’t too


    bothered.


    He added, “I should thank you instead, as I’ve been eating the food you prepared.”


    Skr smiled. “Let’s dig in. If we keep thanking each other, the food will get cold.”


    “Okay.”


    Joe rarely ate sd, but he had half a te that day. Although the sd was just a mixture of


    vegetables, Skr made them taste great.


    “I’ll send you to work tomorrow morning. The chauffeur will pick Grandma and then you when you


    get off


    work,” Joe said after he was done with the meal.


    “Thank you.” Skr nodded.


    Suddenly,


    nly, she remembered something. She stood up to look for her bag before taking a paper bag out,


    and there were small tea bags inside.


    “I had the herbal store prepare these tea bags for me. It’s the same as the one you’re taking. I


    switched a


    few ingredients, and they’ll probably help you sleep better, Skr exined.


    A skeptical look flitted across Joe’s eyes when he saw the tea bags Skr handed to him.


    He wondered if she was being nice to him.


    “I’ll meet Grandma tomorrow, so I’ve also prepared some herbal sachets for a foot bath. She can


    bring

    them home,” Skr said as she cleaned the table.


    Joe rose to his feet and offered, “I’ll wash the dishes.”


    “It’s fine. I’ll do it today. You looked unwell. Are you having a headache again?” Skr brought the


    tes.


    to the kitchen.


    Since there were only two of them, there weren’t many tes to wash. It would only take her a


    while to finish washing them.


    Joe was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Skr to be this observant and notice his condition.


    Probably because I’ve had a few drinks tonight.”


    It was easy to have a headache after drinking, so Skr didn’t say much.


    Seeing her washing the tes in the kitchen, Joe leaned against the couch.


    The two knew each other better after spending some time together.


    However, Joe zoned out slightly as he stared at the tea bags at the side.


    After some time, he heard someone talking next to him. However, he couldn’t hear it clearly, so he


    turned


    to look at Skr.


    Skr repeated, “Do you need a head massage?”


    Joe seemed to sense something, and his face turned cold instantly, “I only helped you today for


    Grandma’s sake. You’d better not overthink it.”


    “Aren’t you the one overthinking, Mr. Martin? I only asked you because your head probably hurt so


    much that you looked unwell. Since you don’t need my help, I’m going to my room,” Skr said


    furiously. She


    was quite upset.


    Joe had taken her act of kindness as an ill intention. She thought she should’ve just let him suffer


    the


    pain.
