Chapter 156


    Skr suddenly remembered adding Annie’s contact information to WhatsApp.


    Before checking the message, she nced at Joe. She still hadn’t figured out what was going on


    between Joe and Annie. Joe’s thoughts were deeply hidden; neither she nor anyone else could


    guess his intentions.


    Annie was obviously interested in Joe. The way Rowan and a few others acted that night suggested


    that their rtionship wasn’t superficial.


    “Is something wrong?” Joe asked, turning to look at her. His eyes were cold and inscrutable, easily


    instilling fear in one’s heart.


    Skr immediately shook her head.


    Joe reached up to massage his temple. Work frustration must have seeped into his demeanor; he


    must


    have startled her.


    “If there’s anything, you can ask me directly. We’re a married couple now.” Joe said.


    A fake married couple under contract, Skr added silently.


    “There’s nothing right now. If there is, I’ll be sure to ask you.”


    Joe hummed in acknowledgement and returned to his work.


    Skr opened her WhatsApp and read Annie’s message. “Ms. Sullivan, will you be avable this


    Saturday? There are some things I’d like to discuss with you in person


    Wasn’t Saturday tomorrow? She had to return home to see Janine tomorrow. After that, she would


    be visiting Charles at his workce. There wasn’t much time left after that.


    “Unfortunately, I’m booked tomorrow, but I’m free the day after,” Skr replied.


    Annie responded a few minutester. “Alright, then let’s meet at Mountain Mist Restaurant the day


    after


    tomorrow at noon.”


    “Sure, see you then,” Skr replied.


    After navigating through the congested sections of the road, they arrived at Pearlhall Residence


    smoothly. Joe and Skr got out of the car and held hands, their fingers interlocked. Skr’s


    fingers felt a little stiff; the intimacy of interlocking their fingers was still unfamiliar to her.


    Edgar saw them holding hands and couldn’t help but smile. “Mrs. Martin Senior is waiting for you


    inside. Mr. and Mrs. Martin, the more I see you two together, the more I’m convinced you’re a


    perfect match.”


    When they exited the car just now, it looked like a scene straight out of a movie.


    There was a saying–how did it go? A match made in heaven!


    If either of them were reced, it wouldn’t achieve this effect.


    2/2


    Skr’s smile froze at the mention ofpatibility.


    Joe responded smoothly, “When has Grandma ever made a mistake in her judgment?”


    “Yes, yes.” Edgar frantically nodded. Anyone Gloria chose as her granddaughter–inw must be


    the mostpatible with Joe.


    Thest time they visited, their rtionship hadn’t seemed this intimate. Although it hadn’t been


    long. since then, they were now holding hands as soon as they got out of the car. It was as if they


    couldn’t bear to be apart even for a moment.


    When Gloria saw that, she couldn’t contain her smile. “Oh, my,e quick. Both of you,e over


    here and see this spread of a feast. I even made some of them myself.”


    Gloria had always said that Skr was Joe’s ideal type. Joe had initially been stubborn about it but


    look at


    him now.
