Chapter 282


    Gloria was surprised to see Joe so eager to take Skr home.


    As she thought about the reason for the haste, Gloria’s ears turned red with


    embarrassment.


    She had learned about the general situation from that day. Someone had drugged Joe, and


    coincidentally, Skr was also present.


    Both of them were affected, and ultimately, they ended up together.


    The maid who went to clean up Gxy Vi mentioned that the pair were now


    staying in the same room.


    Gloria had been young once, too. So, she raised her hand and urged them, “Go on. I’m tired and


    need to rest. You two should enjoy your time together.”


    She figured it was best not to y the third wheel between them.


    Skr was somewhat bewildered. Did Joe have something to talk to her about?


    Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to leave?


    With Gloria’s urging, the two left Pearlhall Residence.


    After getting into the car, Skr asked, “Why the rush? Is something wrong?”


    They had not even had dinner yet. Skr’s initial n was to dine with Gloria at


    Pearlhall Residence.


    Joe’s gaze darkened slightly, not knowing how to respond. When he saw Skr at Pearlhall


    Residence, he just had the impulse to take her home. Once the thought crossed his mind, he was


    somewhat baffled.


    Joe paused momentarily before replying, “Nothing’s wrong. I just thought we could eat some stew.


    There’s a restaurant chain under the group’s ownership, and they


    have a selection of seven or eight stew bases. Let’s see if there’s something you like.”


    Skr’s eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing that. “That’s great! I’ve been craving stew for the


    past few days.”


    The thought of choosing from seven or eight stew bases made her incredibly happy.


    Thirty minutester, they arrived at the restaurant.


    Despite being a stew restaurant, the decoration was extravagant. It truly lived up to the standards of


    the Martin Group.


    As soon as they stepped in, the aroma wafted through the air.


    Skr and Joe headed to a private room on the eighth floor. There, she excitedly chose two stew


    bases that she liked, with the option of selecting up to four.


    Moreover, the variety of ingredients avable in the stew restaurant surpassed those found in many


    simr eateries.


    Skr’s eyes sparkled with delight. She was a true stew lover!


    “I’ve ordered mine. See if there’s anything you like to eat,” she said, brimming with


    anticipation.


    Joe hummed in acknowledgment and looked through the menu seriously.


    “I’m going to the restroom,” Skr said and rose from her seat.


    Joe nced at her, then lowered his head to continue going through the menu. He


    ordered a mildly spicy stew base and a vegetable stew base, both of which he could


    enjoy.


    After ordering the food, Joe idly waited for Skr to return and for their dishes to


    arrive.


    A few minutester, Skr emerged from the restroom and made her way back to


    the private room.


    Right then, Charles and his friend exited another room to use the restroom. As they


    were about to enter the restroom, Charles suddenly halted in his tracks.


    “What’s the matter, Charles?” his friend asked.


    Charles blinked. “I must have been mistaken. It couldn’t have been Skye.”


    He thought the woman, who just entered one of the private rooms, bore a striking. resemnce to


    Skr from behind.


    Charles almost called out to her earlier. However, he quickly realized that Skr was unlikely to


    dine in such an expensive establishment. One could eat over ten meals at other ces for the cost


    of one here.


    “Who’s Skye?” his friend asked again, confused.


    Charles chuckled. “My sister. I thought the woman from earlier was my sister.”

    He then took out his phone and sent a message to Skr.
