Chapter 157
Now, Joe was head over heels for Skr.
“Did you cook these yourself, Grandma?” Skr asked immediately.
Given Gloria’s health condition, she needed to rest and avoid physical exertion. It would be better
for her to go for walks asionally and connect with nature.
Seeing Skr’s concern, Gloria smiled and said, “Yes, I’m feeling good today and wanted to make
something. Don’t worry. I’m much better these days. Having you both here for my birthday makes
me incredibly happy.”
“This is our birthday gift for you, Grandma,” Joe said, cing the ne down. “Skr picked it
out.”
Gloria wasn’t interested initially. Joe always picked the expensive ones but didn’t put much thought
into the design or what women liked.
However, upon learning Skr chose it, Gloria immediately loved it. She couldn’t take her eyes off
the
ne.
Gloria eximed, “It’s so pretty! This is the prettiest ne I’ve ever received. Quick, help me put
it on.”
“I’m d that you like it, Grandma. Skr helped Gloria put on the ne.

Gloria held it close and looked in the mirror. “How beautiful. Skye, you have such a good taste. It’s
beautiful on its own but even better on me.”
“I also bought you some clothes, Grandma. Once Edgar washes them, you can try them on and see
if they fit,” Skr said.
Gloria was deeply touched. “That’s very thoughtful of you, Skye. I haven’t been feeling well and
haven’t had the energy to go shopping. I’m tired of my old clothes at home.”
“I’ll take you shopping once you’re feeling better.” Skr immediatelyforted Gloria.
“Alright. I really do love having you around. The food’s getting cold, and you must be hungry. Let’s
dig in.”
Gloria sat down, bearing
The elderly didn’t usually fancy cakes. So, there was no cake prepared for Gloria’s birthday every
year. Plus, she didn’t like it when there were too many people. She only liked having her close ones
celebrating
her birthday.
It was a peaceful and heartwarming birthday celebration.
After the meal, Gloria was eager to try on the clothes Skr had bought for her.
*Joe, look at these. Skye bought me such beautiful clothes. They make me look so elegant. I even
look ten years younger in them.”
Joe’s eyes lit up. Gloria truly did look like her younger self from a decade ago. His expression
softened, warmth radiating from him as he nodded. “You really do have a good taste, Skr,” he
said.

Skr blushed under Gloria and Joe’s praise. She noticed Joe looking at her and didn’t know what
to say. So, she looked at Gloria and said, “The designer of this brand is really good.”
“It’s because you have a good eye,” Joe said.
All these years, he had never seen Gloria so happy. It seemed that Gloria had shed some of her
burdens ever since Skr came into their lives. She became more carefree and rxed, and her
smile was always genuine from the heart.
Unwittingly, a realization struck Joe. The more time he spent with Skr, the more he saw her
incredible qualities. However, it was a shame that he couldn’t give her his love; if she didn’t need
love, maybe they could spend their lives together.
Then, Skr and Gloria watched a variety show together. It was a love–themed show, and they
seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Edgar had prepared food and snacks. But it was mainly Skr who ate. Gloria couldn’t eat much
after a meal–watching a variety show was more of a means to digest the food.
Joe, who usually retreated to his upstairs study, remained surprisingly glued to the couch. He
watched Gloria and Skr guess the romantic entanglements of the participants.
When Skr was with Gloria, she seemed so rxed. Her smile was genuine and childlike. The
house was filled with herughter.
She was
far more casual and adorable nowpared to when she was alone with Joe.
Joe narrowed his eyes, exuding a restrained and aloof demeanor.
Skr inadvertently caught his gaze
