Skylar couldn't help but stare at him for a few seconds "You're back?" He was carrying a cup of beverage in his hand. She caught a whiff of the scent of tea.
Skylar acknowledged Joe's question quickly. She went to pour a cup of water for herself. Then, she remembered that he had insomnia.
So, she asked, "Is that tea you're having?" "Yes, it's tea." "Do you still have work to do?" Initially, Skylar had wanted to remind him that drinking tea would affect his sleep.
But, she figured that if he always had trouble sleeping, he should be well aware of what he should or shouldn't drink before bed. Thus, she decided not to interfere and 'changed the topic instead.
Joe fixed his deep gaze at Skylar. "I do have swork to do." Skylar nodded. “I shall not bother you then. Good night." She took her cup and walked upstairs. Right when she was two steps away from reaching the second floor, Joe called out to her.
*Do you have anything you want to say?" Joe had his tea in one hand and his other hand in his pocket. He looked at Skylar with his glistening yet cold eyes.
If she asked him for help right now, he would help her out for Gloria's sake.
Skylar was dumbfounded. She smiled and replied, "I don't think I'll be able to wake up early to visit Grandma tomorrow. I'll go to the hospital in the afternoon. Also, just a gentle reminder-drinking tea at night will really affect your sleep." Chapter 53 2/2 After saying that, she walked up the last two steps and went into her own room.
Joe stayed standing at the sspot. He frowned.
She made it look like nothing had happened at all. She was completely calm.

It was true that he had trouble sleeping. Drinking tea was just his way of settling his irritation from not being able to fall asleep. After putting his cup down, he headed upstairs.
He was about to open the door to his room when Skylar's door suddenly opened He caught sight of her pure and alluring face peeking out the door.. Joe gazed at Skylar's face for a few moments. Was she about to ask him for help?
Earlier, she'd put on an act as if she wasn't bothered by anything. Perhaps she was just pretending to be strong and leading him on. "Hold on, Mr. Martin." After saying that, Skylar disappeared back into her room.
Joe raised his brow slightly. How was she going to seek his help? His curiosity was now being piqued.
