Chapter 545 There were already three dishes on the table.
"Turn on the television and have a watch. I'll be done soon. You haven't eaten my cooking in a while, haven't you? My skills have improved recently. You should try them later," Steven said from the kitchen.
Even before tasting them, Skylar would've given them full marks just for its aroma. She exclaimed, “No matter what you make, I'm sure they'll be delicious!" Steven busied in the kitchen. When he heard that, his expression underwent a minuscule change. He recalled what Annie had told him in the afternoon. A somber demeanor took over his face.
Ten minutes later, Steven brought three more dishes out of the kitchen. Skylar hurried over to help. Now, there were six dishes in total on the table. It looked and smelled wonderful.

Skylar and Steven had grown up together. Skylar knew that Steven was harboring troubles of his own. Perhaps she could wait for Steven to start the conversation.
Her family was the most important thing to her. She didn't want her family to be hurt at all.
Both of them were in sync with each other. None of them spoke during dinner.
After dinner, Steven started, "Skye, you're here to talk toabout Annie, right?" Skylar trembled as she peeled the orange.
"The both of us seldom chat with each other in this manner. In the afternoon, I recalled more than surprise on your face when I brought Annie home. It's a pity I hadn't picked up on it. Perhaps it was because I could see nothing other than her. I've missed a lot," continued Steven.
Skylar put her orange down and asked, "Did Annie seek you out today?" She was surprised that Annie's shamelessness could reach such an extent. How could she cto see Steven after what happened last night? S Steven seldom saw such a cruel expression on Skylar's face.
"Have an orange, Steven. Then, tellwhat she said," Skylar said softly. She did not seem hasty.
Steven suddenly found that Skylar had grown up. She could handle anything thrown her Chapter 545 212 way calmly. Despite knowing the truth about Annie, she could still conduct herself leisurely before Steven.
While he was comforted by this, sadness overchim as well.

"She did seekout today. She toldabout her conflict with Joe and the situation the Silvers are in. I've е ever been told about the misunderstanding that happened last night at Stargaze Hotel," Steven said softly.
Skylar nodded and replied, "She's given you a good description of the full picture. In that case you should know about how much she liked Joe. You should also know why the Silvers are currently in a crisis. At the stime, you must know about how she'd given Joe an aphrodisiac, right?" As she spoke, she took off the scarf around her neck. Skylar hadn't taken it down during dinner. She didn't want anyone to see the love bites on her, especially her family.
Although Steven wasn't particularly experienced in such sexual matters, it did not mean he was clueless. Those colorful bruises told him what Skylar had gone through.
"Last night, because of the Silvers, Joe lost his mind after ingesting an aphrodisiac. At the critical moment, he pushed Annie away. Then, he waited for me," Skylar said. She spoke without shand told it as it was.
Steven frowned deeply. He seemed to realize something. However, he swallowed his words before they could escape him.
Skylar continued slowly, "If last night was a misunderstanding like what you said, why would she seek you out today? The Silvers are probably NO worrying their heads off. They'd prepared the most advanced aphrodisiac they could find. The Silvers might've gotten their way if it wasn't for Joe's amazing self-control." Chapter 546 X
