Chapter 636


    As Gloria waited for Skr to arrive, she asked Edgar to prepare various delicious dishes.


    Gloria nced at the time. “Skr will probably arrive in ten minutes.”


    Edgar nodded in agreement. He said, “She most likely will. Although, the roads might be congested


    at this hour.”


    “I can’t believe that they dared to disdain Skye. How could Edwin find a good woman for Joe with his


    horrible taste in women? He’d hurt Joe’s mom, and now he wants to destroy Joe’s marriage! I’m so


    angry!”


    Edgar consoled immediately, “Calm down, Mrs. Martin Senior. They haven’t met Mrs. Martin before.


    Naturally, they don’t know what an exceptional youngdy she is. This is normal. Besides, Mr.


    Martin is very determined. They wouldn’t be able to destroy Joe’s marriage even if they tried.”


    Worried, Gloria maintained her frown. “I’ve been feeling anxious in the past few days. I’m afraid they


    won’t be able to pass the test. If their rtionship sours, problems are sure to arise.”


    “You’ve been dwelling on it until it has seeped into your dreams. You keep fretting over their


    rtionship, which is why you’ve been feeling nervous. Last night, our helpers brought them dinner


    and heard them going at it in the bedroom. How could their rtionship possibly sour? Don’t


    overthink it, Mrs. Martin Senior. Mrs. Martin would be worried if she found out,” Edgar advised.


    With that, Edgar managed to calm Gloria down.


    Just then, Skr arrived. Her smile fell when she saw Gloria’s pale face. She asked, “Grandma, are


    you feeling ill?”


    She had been swamped with work the past few days, and much had transpired. In the midst of it all,


    she hadn’t visited Gloria at Pearlhill Residence. Skr only just realized her oversight.

    “Nothing, I just missed you. Come over and let me take a good look at you,” Gloria waved Skr


    over.


    Skr went over and sat beside Gloria. Skr picked up on Gloria’s weird behavior.


    Had Gloria asked her to visit because Edwin had returned?


    “I had a few projects on hand, so I’ve been busy. I’d nned to have dinner with you a few days


    back, but the thought slipped my mind amidst all my tasks.”


    Considering Joe’s recent behavior, she ought to have thought of Gloria long ago. She hadn’t been


    meticulous enough.


    “If you have work to do, you must focus on that. I just thought of you today and wanted you to


    apany me for dinner. I’ve gotten old and can’t stand the loneliness,” Gloria said. As she held


    Skr’s hand, she felt herself calm.


    In a sudden moment of reflection, Skr remembered Vi, who always lit up with excitement


    during visits when Skr recounted her school escapades.


    Now that Vi stayed in Zindel Residence alone without thepany of any rtives, she would


    definitely feel lonely.


    “In that case, I’lle frequently to keep youpany. During the weekends, I might even be able


    to stay overnight.”


    Gloria nodded and said, “That’s great. But if you’re busy, just sleep at Gxy Vi. My ce is quite


    far from the city center. It would be a waste of your time for you to drive back and forth.”

    At this age, Gloria could tell who treated her genuinely and who truly had a kind soul.


    Skr was a good woman and wouldn’t let those narrow–minded people destroy their marriage.


    “Right, I’ve got to tell you something. If one of the Martins seeks you out and tries to pressure you


    into leaving Joe, don’t pay them any mind. With me here, no one will be able toe in between


    you two. Live a good life with Joe, alright?” Gloria said worriedly.


    Skr suddenly understood why Gloria was in a bad mood. Gloria was scared that the Martins


    would try to meet her.
