Chapter 218


    When Joe heard the sound, he looked up and was met with a stunning beauty walking toward him.


    Skr’s fair skin seemed to glow. Her gaze was like that of an otherworldly fairy. It exuded a pure


    desire that she herself wasn’t aware of,


    Her body was reflected in the rippling waterl


    At this moment, any man there would probably feel an urge to sumb to their desires. Joe had


    never denied that Skr held a special ce in his heart. Her every move could easily stir his


    emotions.


    Seeing Joe staring at her, Skr felt a bit puzzled by his intense gaze.


    Was there something wrong with her outfit? She had checked herself in the mirror beforeing


    out.


    The swimsuit’s style was simple, and the color was not one she often wore. But it shouldn’t look that


    bad.


    “Does it look weird?” Skr asked.


    Joe cleared his throat, feeling a slight dryness. He took a sip of wine to make it better and replied,


    “It’s


    fine.”


    Skr found afortable spot to sit down and looked at Joe seriously. “Can we talk now?”


    Joe stared into her clear eyes–as innocent and earnest as a child’s. He felt his throat tightening


    again.”


    Don’t look at me like that,” he said.


    “What?” Skr was stunned. What kind of look had she given him? Wasn’t it just a normal look


    when


    discussing something?


    “The way you look at me makes me want to make love to you,” Joe said bluntly.


    Skr’s eyes widened, shocked by Joe’s straightforwardness. “You’ve got it wrong. I’m not trying to


    seduce you.


    Truth be told, Skr knew a lot of things. But seducing someone with her eyes was not her forte.


    The fact


    that a nce from her could make Joe want to make out with her was just wild.


    “What do you want to talk about?” Joe took another sip of his wine.


    Seeing this, Skr noticed another ss of wine beside her. She took a sip, mustered up her


    courage, and


    said, “We said we’d be a real couple this afternoon. But now we’re talking about making out. Aren’t


    we being too impulsive?”


    Skr continued, “I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”


    Joe stood up, walked over to her, and sat down next to her. “Why do you think I’ll regret it?”


    “You’re several years older than me, and you’ve never had any scandals. Grandma Gloria said


    you’ve never even had a girlfriend.


    “In this kind of situation, you must have an unrequited first love in your heart. At least, that’s what


    the


    novels say.

    “If your first lovees back to you, you’ll regret betraying her and take it out on me. Won’t I


    be the scapegoat then?” Skr voiced her concerns, which echoed the thoughts she’d had


    earlier in the shower.


    Being husband and wife with Joe was fine. But being the scapegoat would be a disaster.


    Joe chuckled, “Love in novels is always grand and always has a happy ending. Do you believe


    that?”


    Once upon a time, Skr had believed that. But she shook her head now.


    “I’ll give you a few days to adapt,” Joe said softly.

    Skr blinked, “…”


    “I’m too old for you. Is that it?” Joe remembered Skr mentioning their age difference.


    “Absolutely not!” Skr eximed as she stood up. “That’s not what I meant.”


    In that instant, the stones under her feet felt a bit sharp and slippery. She hadn’t been paying


    attention, so she stumbled forward.


    Quickly and urately, Skr fell into a strong embrace. Joe’s handsnded on Skr’s back, and


    she ended up sitting on hisp as her whole body pressed against his.


    His muscles were clearly defined, and the thin swimsuit didn’t offer much resistance. Skr didn’t


    know whether the hot spring water was too hot or if it was Joe’s body. But her face flushed


    instantly.


    “I…” Skr’s face turned red.


    Joe suddenly pressed her head down and nted a deep kiss on her lips. It was one that would


    have made any woman instinctively retreat.
