Chapter 136
Half an hour later, Skylar met Joe. They hadn’t seen each other for over ten days. When Joe saw Skylar return, he looked at her.
“You’re back?”
“Yes, there was no traffic. It only took me 30 minutes to come back from Williams Residence,” Skylar said as she walked in while carrying her bag.
Love you!
dinner?” Joe asked.
Skylar noticed there was no gloom in his eyes. There was no sign of hunger or irritation after an argument. She thoughtfully nodded. “I had dinner before going to the Williamses.”
“Come on, I’ll take you somewhere,” Joe stood up.
“Where to? It’s already past eight.”
“You’ll see when we get there.”
Skylar was silent for a moment before following him. She had thought they were going out, but Joe led
Skylar to the garage instead.
She had never been to the garage before. She knew it was large but never realized it was this vast. It housed over thirty cars. It was more than a typical car dealership would have.
She wondered what Joe had in mind and realized she couldn’t read him. Still, she generously
complimented, “These cars are so cool!”
And each one was cooler than the last
She didn’t know much about cars, and she didn’t recognize some of the brands. However, just looking at
them, she knew they were impressive and obviously very expensive.
Joe’s eyes displayed a rare softness. “Pick one you like.”
“What? For me?”
“Yes, it’s a gift from me for joining Mr. Gardner Senior’s team. The car you’re currently driving is too small.”
He hadn’t noticed what car Skylar had been driving before. He assumed she would choose one from the garage. Instead, she had bought a small car worth over ten thousand dollars. He wouldn’t have known if
Paul didn’t tell him.
Skylar shook her head in refusa). “My car is newly bought, and it’s an electric one, economical and cheap to run. The cars here all have high fuel consumption. They’re too conspicuous for work. But thank you for the thought.”
“You’re Mrs. Martin now, Gradually, Grandma’s friends will get to know you. Our relationship is something the Internet doesn’t know about. If they find out I’ve been neglecting you, I won’t be able to explain to the elders,” Joe said. He had anticipated her refusal.
Skylar couldn’t refuse any longer. “Alright then, thank you.”
She walked past the cars.
“If you don’t like any, we can go to a dealership tomorrow and pick the car you like,” Joe said, seeing that she wasn’t particularly impressed by his collection.
He had many cars. He bought them on a whim whenever a new or limited edition came out. Many had
never been driven.
Staff from Pearlhall Residence regularly came by to maintain these cars.
Now that he finally had time to look at them, he found them ordinary. It made him somewhat reluctant to
gift them.
In Skylar’s mind, if these cars weren’t impressive, the ones elsewhere definitely weren’t worth considering.
Natalie had once briefed her on a few models, mentioning that Jeremy liked one. It was a limited edition that Joe had reserved. Jeremy could only long for it..
She had just seen that car. It was covered in dust.
Clearly, it had never been driven.
She casually chose one. “I’ll take this one. But let’s agree, if we visit Grandma, I’ll drive this car. For work,
I’ll stick with my old one. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“The most expensive car my coworer drives is worth just over a hundred thousand. If I drive this to work, I’ll inevitably be bombarded with questions. At work, I prefer to keep a low profile.”
Joe nodded. “As you wish.”
They left the garage.
Joe received a phone call when they were about to head back inside the villa. It was probably a friend. inviting him out.
