Chapter 1334

Skylat never expected Joe to suddenly kiss her while they were talking. The unexpected kiss hit het like a storm, leaving her momentarily stunned and the brush of their lips made her mind go

blank

At first, she forget to respond She instinctively leaged against Joe’s cheat, feeling his warmth and

the steady beat of his heart

This kiss was both intense and lingering, growing more passionate as it went on Skylar wasn’t novelbin

the type to be overly dramatic

She understood the physical changes in Joe’s body at that moment. He wanted to sleep with her

Fortunately, Joe quickly regained his composure and lowered his gaze to study her. His breathing

was heavy, and his deep–set eyes glinted like a starry sky as if he wanted to devour her

completely. He truly did want to do just that.

The urge was overwhelming, but his rational side made him pull back. It took Skylar a while to

regain her breath and restore her energy.

“If I’m not Joe, would you still want to sleep with me?” Joe murmured against her ear, his warm

breath sending a shiver down her spine.

His words felt like an invitation to share a dangerous descent into temptation.

Skylar blinked in surprise but then smiled. “I just said you are Joe.”

Joe didn’t respond, but some of his physical reactions lingered.

Skylar flushed with embarrassment. Being held like this made her feel a bit uneasy.

Just as she was about to remind him, Joe’s phone rang. He continued to look at her as he

answered the call. “Wait for me to come back.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone without another word.

The phone call seemed to have tempered some of Joe’s wild thoughts. He took a step back and released Skylar.

“Wait for my call,” he said as he walked away.

Skylar was taken aback for a moment. It wasn’t until Joe’s car disappeared that she snapped back

to reality, a smile creeping onto her face.

Skylar noticed that Gloria wasn’t in the living room when she arrived home. Just then, Veronica came down from upstairs,

fn Skylers handé, ate hdd two trently rosted chicken she had bought on the way home. They

file should have weken up from her nap at this houve Skylar ihmediately asked Veronica, “Is

tundma stil napping?

“Today, we had a guest over, and Mrs Martin Senice got a bit upset. She didn’t eat much for lunch and just fell asleep, Veronica replied

Skylar frowned and asked, “A quest? Don’t quests dually schedule their visits in advance? I didn’t know we were having anyone over today”

She was well aware of Gloria’s health

While both Gloria and Veronica pretended everything was fine in front of her, Skylar chose to play along to ease Gloria’s worry. But that didn’t mean she was oblivious to the situation

In recent years, guests were expected to call ahead. If Gloria was feeling well, she would meet with them. If not, she would politely decline

Veronica nodded. This quest didn’t call ahead. This person is someone you know–Rosa Reese She came as Ned’s fiancée and started saying.

Veronica replayed everything Rosa had said, her frustration palpable.

She had seen some shameless people but never someone as brazen as Rosa.

“She actually dared to come here and make threats! Skylar said, her expression growing cold and

serious.

“Exactly! She’s clearly feeling insecure. To be honest, I was a bit doubtful about whether Ned was Mr. Martin. Now, I’m sure he is. Rosa knows everything. She just wants to stake her claim on him,” Veronica said angrily.

Suppressing her anger, Skylar instructed, “Let’s call the doctor to check on Grandma. I’m worried.”

“The doctor just left. Mrs. Martin Senior is fine. She just needs to rest well,” Veronica hurriedly explained.

Upon hearing that the doctor had come, Skylar felt relieved. “That’s good.”

She decided that Rosa needed to face the consequences of her decision to visit Gloria unannounced today.
