Chapter 623


    Harvey studied Joe, concluding the other man was more


    handsome and slightly taller than himself. However, good looks didn’t guarantee trustworthiness.


    “I’m your brother–inw. I’m Joe Martin. You must be Harvey?” Joe asked.


    Skr’s family was undeniably striking. Both her older brothers and younger brother were


    exceptionally good–looking.

    Harvey raised an eyebrow at the term “brother–inw” and nced at Skr. “Skye.”


    Joe’s lips curled into a faint smile. He noted Harvey’s


    stubbornness with quiet amusement.


    Harvey certainly had a strong personality, which Joe considered a positive trait.


    Embarrassed by Harvey’s attitude, Skr interjected, “Joe and I just got married and obtained our


    marriage license. You can call


    him Joe.”


    Harvey’s eyes widened in surprise. “Married? You just got your marriage license?”


    He couldn’t believe Skr had rushed into marriage without


    verifying Joe’s trustworthiness. It seemed too sudden. Was Joe


    using his looks to deceive Skr?


    “Yeah,” Skr replied with a smile.


    Harvey still couldn’t bring himself to ept Joe. He eyed Joe suspiciously, trying to get a read on


    him.

    As they spoke, Skr led Joe inside. The living room was filled with the delicious aroma of food.


    Janine and Steven were busy in the kitchen, while Charles had just gone to the restroom.


    Upon hearing that Skr had just married someone she barely knew and had asked Harvey to


    address the man by his first name, he quickly pulled up his pants, washed his hands, and rushed


    out of the restroom.


    Charles called out, “Skye!”


    But his gaze sharpened as he saw Joe in the living room, the man he believed had deceived


    Skr.


    “Charles, let me introduce you. This is Joe Martin,” Skr said.


    Charles had met Joe before but was unaware of Skr’s rtionship with Joe.


    “Hello, we’ve met before. But Skye wasn’t around then, so I didn’t get a chance to exin our


    rtionship,” Joe said warmly.


    Charles was dumbfounded, his mind reeling from the shock. He was so embarrassed that his face


    turned red–not out of shyness but out of humiliation.


    He was relieved that his earlier concerns were only voiced to Steven. No wonder Steven said he


    was overthinking things. He had genuinely overthought the situation.


    Joe’s friendly attitude toward him was all because of Skr.


    “How did you two meet?” Charles quickly regained hisposure, though he still hesitated to meet


    Joe’s eyes.


    It wasn’t that he was afraid of Joe. It was that his previous


    thoughts were too shameful and petty. So, he directed his question to Skr instead.


    Skr simply exined, “He is Gloria Hinman’s grandson. She introduced us.”


    Though they hadn’t met Gloria’s family, they had heard of them. They were trustworthy.


    Charles was surprised that Joe was Gloria’s grandson.


    Janine came out of the kitchen carrying a dish. Her worries eased when she heard Skr’s words.


    “Mom,” Skr greeted Janine.


    Joe turned to Janine and said warmly, “Mom.”


    Janine was stunned by Joe’s address.


    Skr nced at Joe, and they met each other’s gaze.
