NovelAppChapter 214 Skylar shook her head. "Oh, I'm not tired." She hesitated about whether to go and check.
After all, the voice she heard had cfrom the grove and hadn't been very clear. There were many people with the surn"Hughes" in Jipsburg.
Since her rebirth, Skylar had gained a new understanding of human nature and was concerned about emotions. It was possible...
She cared deeply about Natalie and didn't want her to go through what she had experienced. The feeling of betrayal by a loved and trusted person was hurtful. "Were you shocked?" Joe asked again.
He knew that Jeremy had been unusually close with his secretary recently. They had visited this place a few times. But he hadn't expected Jeremy to be so bold this tto even be playing with fire outdoors.
Joe thought that Jeremy would regret it deeply if he continued like this.

If she had caught them in the act, she would have found out whether it was Jeremy or not.
Joe lowered his head, and his deep eyes stared at Skylar. His voice was low and sexy as he said, "Quite bold, huh? Wanna know what it's like to make out in the woods?" As he spoke, he tugged at his tie. The words seemed to carry a spark, igniting his throat slightly. It felt itchy and dry. His Adam's apple bobbed.
Skylar looked up and saw his Adam's apple move. Joe was undoubtedly the pinnacle of male attractiveness; even his Adam's apple was sexy.
Skylar's cheeks flushed, and she said boldly, "Don't overthink, Mr. Martin. Just a friendly suggestion-don't do it.
"There a are caterpillars on the trees, which might fall when the branches shake. There are mosquitoes in the woods during the summer, and any exposed skin will be bitten. Plus you might end up being watched." Joe smirked. He had just thought that she was as pure as a high school student.
Now, she seemed like a little vixen.
He closed his eyes for a second, restraining all the lustful thoughts in his mind.
Two hours later, it was around 7:00 pm. Skylar and Joe returned to the hot spring resort, all sweaty from playing golf.
The staff brought them dinner and clothes. It wasn't suitable to soak in the hot spring immediately after eating. Skylar glanced at Joe, who was in a video conference, and went out with her phone.
Skylar felt uncomfortable after eating too much, so she went for a walk. She left a message for Joe on WhatsApp.
It was quieter at night. She chose a different path for her walk, strolling leisurely while chatting with Natalie. "How did your mom's check-up go?" Skylar asked.
Natalie was also bored alone at home. “It's just an old disease. When she was young, she often drank alcohol and skipped meals for work. Now, she gets stomachaches if she eats too much." "Are you alone at home?" Skylar asked.
"Yes. Jeremy has a lot of work at the company today. He has to attend an international video conference and will be up all night. There's a bed in his office, so he's sleeping there.

"Poor him; he works so hard. It's only to support the family and make om enough money to look after our baby. It must be really tough for him." Natalie's tone was filled with love and concern for Jeremy. Skylar gripped her phone tightly. What a coincidence.
"I was thinking of making him soup to help warm him up. But when Lasked how How work was going, he didn't reply.
He must still be in the meeting. If I went, I'd just be a Chapter distraction. So, I dropped the idea.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you.
Jeremy has a new secretary. She's a beauty, but don't think she's as pretty as you. Our Skye's the prettiest," Natalie added. Secretary? Skylar thought about the voices in the woods-the calls of “Mr. Hughes" and the talk of stockings. It seemed likely that the two were in an employer-employee relationship.
