Joe took a sip after hearing her praise for the yogurt. It tasted acceptable to him. He then set the yogurt aside and helped Skylar put the things from the shopping bags in the refrigerator.
She felt satisfied as she looked at the packed refrigerator. "It's finally full Joe washed his hands before sitting on the couch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar saw that and went to wash her hands as well. As she looked at Joe sitting on the couch, she felt confused. She could tell he had something to tell her.
She washed sfruits before sitting across from him.
"Let's have sfruits," Skylar stated. She had picked the fruits while passing by a market before she had returned home. They were all fresh.
Joe picked up an apple but didn't eat it.
Skylar's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to his hand which was holding the apple.
His fingers were long and straight, and his nails were round and neat. The watch on his wrist perfectly highlighted the allure of his hands.
She unconsciously recalled a scene when he had touched her with those hands.
Skylar didn't dare to look any further and quickly looked away, staring at the apple in her hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoe suddenly asked, "When you sawin the restaurant, why didn't you cforward and claimas your husband?" Skylar was surprised when she heard that. "Claim?" Had she heard him wrong? "Given the situation at that time, it seemed that we weren't the main parties there, but Nath and Mr. Hughes." Moreover, she was used to pretending not to know him whenever she was outside. After all, even Natalie thought the two of them couldn't possibly be a couple.
Joe raised his eyebrow coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Skylar's answer. "Are you and Jeremy's wife good friends?" Yes, she's my best friend." His eyes moved slightly when he took a bite of the sweet apple. "You don't have to pretend like you don't knowwhen we're outside from now on." Skylar smiled. "You don't have to pretend like you don't knoweither." They had an agreement on certain issues. For instance, pretending to be strangers when they were outside had always been a tacit agreement between them. He couldn't find fault with her.
Joe was rendered speechless.
Skylar glanced at the time. "I didn't eat much when I was at the om restaurant I'm a little hungry, so I'm going to make a simple dessert. Do you want some?” "Makesome." "Okay."
Joe was reading a book on the couch while Skylar concentrated on making dessert in the kitchen. But when he rtint heard a faint sound in the kitchen, he stood up and walked over. He stood in front of the kitchen door, staring at Skylar, who was fully focused on her work. Then, he remembered the photo John had sent him not too long ago.
When Skylar made desserts, she was as concentrated as she was when restoring antiques. Perhaps she wasn't aware that when she focused on one thing, she seemed different from usual.
