Chapter 204


    “Skye’s just being polite. You need to work harder!” Gloria stepped in to spare Skr’s blushes.


    Joe walked over and sat directly beside Skr.


    He casually nced at the TV. The variety show featured men and women mingling. and flirting


    over dinner.


    In his eyes, none of the male contestants couldpare to him, and of course, none of the women


    couldpare to Skr.


    Gloria noticed how naturally Joe sat beside Skr, and she gave him a knowing wink.


    When had they be so close? Gloria had seen through Joe’s earlier pretense, but now he


    seemed different. He clearly enjoyed being near Skr.


    After all, at Joe’s age, all young men were probably thinking about women and looking for a


    companion. It seemed he had also finally reached that point.


    Skr, who had been casually discussing the show with Gloria, now felt self- conscious with Joe


    sitting so close to her.


    Gloria nced at the clock and shooed them away. “It’s gettingte. You two should head home.


    You guys have an early appointment tomorrow. Don’t stay up toote tonight.”


    “Alright.” Both of them nodded.


    As they left, Gloria turned to Edgar and said, “Do you think I can have a great- grandchild by next


    year?”


    “Yes, I suppose. You can see that Mr. Martin has feelings for Mrs. Martin,” Edgar replied.


    On top of being older and more experienced, Edgar had watched Joe grow up. So, he knew that


    Joe wouldn’t/speak unnecessarily.


    But earlier, Joe’s gaze had been fixed on Skr, and he had even teased her–a clear sign of


    interest.


    However, it remained to be seen how Joe viewed his own feelings.


    Gloria chuckled. “I agree. By the way, keep an eye on the Silver family. If they up with schemes to


    disrupt Joe and Skr’s rtionship, let me know.”


    Gloria hadn’t expected to have to worry about Joe’s love life at this age.


    “Don’t worry, Mrs. Martin Senior. I believe Mr. Martin has already dealt with it. I’ve seen Ms. Silver


    before, though. She seemed smart and was working as a TV host.


    “She should have had a better wit, but her actions were disappointing,” Edgar said.


    Rumors had circted before, but Edgar hadn’t paid much attention to them or informed Gloria


    about them. In Jipsburg City, many sought connections with the Martin family, but few had been this


    bold.


    “I will never forgive them if they ruin Joe and Skr’s rtionship!” Gloria huffed.


    Skr and Joe went back home together, Joe drove her car while a driver took his car back for


    him.


    Exhausted from the day’s events, Skr dozed off shortly after exchanging a few words with Joe. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Joe didn’t realize it and continued talking. He even suggested that Skr should consider their


    marriage. He mentioned that they could continue being together if they found each other suitable.


    But when he got no response, he nced over and realized that Skr was asleep..


    He felt a sense of contentment as he watched Skr sleep so peacefully.


    A thought suddenly shed in his mind. Maybe this was better. They didn’t need to be passionately


    in love.


    After all, Skr had experienced the highs of young love, only for it to end in heartbreak. Perhaps


    their marriage could besting and stable without the


    distractions of love.
