However, when Skylar noticed Joe looking at her, she asked him out of politeness.
Joe’s eyes flickered slightly, and he closed the book in his hand. “I have a video conference in an hour. Maybe

He seemed unfazed, which made Skylar unsure of what else to say.

In bed, he was like a beast, but once he got out of it, he was well-dressed and proper. There was no way to
connect those two as the sperson.
At the thought of last night, Skylar didn’t dare to dwell any further and quickly ran out.
Seeing Skylar flee in apparent embarrassment, Joe chuckled.
Was she shy?
She didn’t seem shy when she bit him on the shoulder last night. The little teeth marks on his shoulder were still
visible even now.

Seeing her children doing well made her feel content.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes. Skylar arrived earlier than Steven and Charles. [x
