Chapter 272


    Paute message was simple Joe asked him to take a day off as Skr was too tired to work that


    day.


    Alexander understood clearly what that implied. Young people were always quite active Caleb might


    find it hard to ept if he exined further.


    Caleb pursed his lips and said, “Then I’lle back tomorrow!”


    He was determined to see Skr. He suspected that maybe Skr was secretly married and didn’t


    want people to know.


    If it was a secret marriage, it meant she couldn’t be that much in love. Caleb wouldn’t keep his


    marriage a secret if he married someone he loved. He was young, so he still had a chance.


    When Skr woke up again, it was already 2:00 pm. She woke up to the sound of Joe answering a


    phone call. She vaguely heard him greet the caller as “Grandma“. and then she was fully awake.


    She heard Joe say, “We won’t be returning to Pearlhall Residence tonight. We’re eating at home


    today. I’ve already ordered food to be delivered. Skye is too tired fromst night. We’ve been


    sleeping in since morning.”


    Skr became more and more alert. She was now too embarrassed to face Gloria.


    Gloria was astonished to hear that Skr was tired and that they’d been sleeping in. She gripped


    the phone and pressed for details, “Is it what I’m thinking?”


    Joe smirked and replied, “What do you think it is, Grandma?”


    “You rascal! Be gentle with Skr! You hear me?” Gloria said before hanging up.


    She quickly called for Agatha. “You’ll have more work for the next couple of days.


    Make sure the kitchen prepares some nourishing foods and delivers them to the Gxy Vi. My


    grandson doesn’t know how to hold back.”


    Agatha was also taken aback.

    “Yes, madam. I’ll get on it right away.”


    While Joe was on the phone with Gloria, Skr wrapped a towel around herself.


    After he finished the call and turned back, he saw Skr about to leave.


    “Did I wake you up?” Joe asked.


    Skr stopped and looked at him.


    “No, I just woke up.” She firmly denied hearing any part of the conversation.


    Joe smiled and walked toward her. “I’ll get you some clothes. It’s ufortable walking around like


    that.”


    As Joe approached, Skr realized he wasn’t wearing a shirt. She was shocked to see he had


    some scratch marks on his chest.


    Skr couldn’t fathom how those scratches got there. She quickly looked away.


    Fortunately, he had a towel around his waist. Otherwise, she would have wanted to cover her eyes.


    It was quite an indecent sight.


    “No, no, I can do it myself. My room is just next door,” Skr said as she hurried away.


    In her haste, she pulled a muscle and yelped, “Ah!”


    Joe scooped Skr up.


    “Dr. Grey will bring some medicine soon. Applying it will make you feel better. I’m sorry, I couldn’t


    control myselfst night.”


    “Likewise…” Skr muttered.

    As Joe picked her up, her


    eyes were leveled with the marks on his chest. She had


    been quite wild herself.
