Upon mentioning the Williams family, Skylar’s expression hardened. “They're trying to useto get you! to help
their company pull through.”
The shamelessness of the Williamses surprised her at every turn.
Joe chuckled icily before saying, “How foolhardy. With their abilities, if not for their underground trade activities,
they wouldn't have managed to develop their company to its current scale. It’s unsurprising that they've closed
down now.”
“They might trouble you. Sorry about that,” said Skylar with a frown. When she thought of how the Williams
family clung to them like barnacles on a ship, hatred churned in her stomach.
Joe was unbothered. He responded, “There have been countless people who have tried to causetrouble since
| was a kid. The Williams family is nothing to me. | would hardly call them trouble.”
Skylar knew Joe was telling the truth. She replied, “Thank you.”
“We're married. You don’t have to thankfor this,” said Joe as he stared at Skylar warmly.
The annoyance bubbling within him reached a boiling point at her excessive politeness. She was overly
distant from him.
When Skylar saw Joe's sudden frown, she couldn't tell whether he was annoyed.
If she couldn't tell, she'd rather not dwell on it.

She'd rather enjoy the delicacies in front of her.
They ate in silence.
After dinner, Skylar suddenly recalled something she'd pushed to the back of her mind within the chaos of
the past few days.
As Joe washed the dishes, she called Janine.
“Mom, is Steven bringing his girlfriend hthis week?”
He'd previously asked her to chand see his girlfriend. She was curious about what kind of
woman Steven would fall for.
Janine smiled and said, “I know you’ve been busy and up to your neck at work. Because of this, | didn’t call you.
Steven's girlfriend has also been busy in the past few days. She postponed our meeting to Saturday because
that’s when they're coming home. They askedto tell you beforehand.”
Janine was clearly energized by the great news that Steven's feelings were finally reciprocated. She was
already looking forward to the wedding.
After chatting with Janine for a while more, Skylar ended the call. It looked like everyone had been busy recently.

She wasn’t in a hurry to meet Steven's girlfriend. She believed in Steven's taste in women, and the woman
he fell for must've been an excellent person.
Joe strolled out of the shower the second she put her phone down. He was used to wearing only a towel
in front of Skyler.
However, Skylar wasn’t used to it. Her heart began racing at one glance of him. He had an extremely attractive
body.
Upon seeing her reaction, Joe grinned. He teased, “You've already seennaked. Why are you still so shy?”
They did it on a near-nightly basis and knew each other's bodies well. Yet, she still hadn't gotten used to it.

Joe chuckled and asked, “How do you want to look?”
Skylar was so transfixed she even forgot to swallow her spit. She watched as he pulled his towel off.
Every part of him was exposed to her heated gaze. Her eyes traveled downward against her will.
