My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Now, Joe was head over heels for Skylar.

“Did you cook these yourself, Grandma?” Skylar asked immediately.

Given Gloria’s health condition, she needed to rest and avoid physical exertion. It would be better for her to go for walks occasionally and connect with nature.

Seeing Skylar’s concern, Gloria smiled and said, “Yes, I’m feeling good today and wanted to make something. Don’t worry. I’m much better these days. Having you both here for my birthday makes me incredibly happy.”

“This is our birthday gift for you, Grandma,” Joe said, placing the necklace down. “Skylar picked it out.”

Gloria wasn’t interested initially. Joe always picked the expensive ones but didn’t put much thought into the design or what women liked.

However, upon learning Skylar chose it, Gloria immediately loved it. She couldn’t take her eyes off the

necklace.

Gloria exclaimed, “It’s so pretty! This is the prettiest necklace I’ve ever received. Quick, help me put it on.”

“I’m glad that you like it, Grandma. Skylar helped Gloria put on the necklace.

Gloria held it close and looked in the mirror. “How beautiful. Skye, you have such a good taste. It’s

beautiful on its own but even better on me.”

“I also bought you some clothes, Grandma. Once Edgar washes them, you can try them on and see if they fit,” Skylar said.

Gloria was deeply touched. “That’s very thoughtful of you, Skye. I haven’t been feeling well and haven’t had the energy to go shopping. I’m tired of my old clothes at home.”

“I’ll take you shopping once you’re feeling better.” Skylar immediately comforted Gloria.

“Alright. I really do love having you around. The food’s getting cold, and you must be hungry. Let’s dig in.”

Gloria sat down, bearing

The elderly didn’t usually fancy cakes. So, there was no cake prepared for Gloria’s birthday every year. Plus, she didn’t like it when there were too many people. She only liked having her close ones celebrating

her birthday.

It was a peaceful and heartwarming birthday celebration.

After the meal, Gloria was eager to try on the clothes Skylar had bought for her.

*Joe, look at these. Skye bought me such beautiful clothes. They make me look so elegant. I even look ten years younger in them.”

Joe’s eyes lit up. Gloria truly did look like her younger self from a decade ago. His expression softened, warmth radiating from him as he nodded. “You really do have a good taste, Skylar,” he said.

Skylar blushed under Gloria and Joe’s praise. She noticed Joe looking at her and didn’t know what to say. So, she looked at Gloria and said, “The designer of this brand is really good.”

“It’s because you have a good eye,” Joe said.

All these years, he had never seen Gloria so happy. It seemed that Gloria had shed some of her burdens ever since Skylar came into their lives. She became more carefree and relaxed, and her smile was always genuine from the heart.

Unwittingly, a realization struck Joe. The more time he spent with Skylar, the more he saw her incredible qualities. However, it was a shame that he couldn’t give her his love; if she didn’t need love, maybe they could spend their lives together.

Then, Skylar and Gloria watched a variety show together. It was a love–themed show, and they seemed to enjoy it immensely.

Edgar had prepared food and snacks. But it was mainly Skylar who ate. Gloria couldn’t eat much after a meal–watching a variety show was more of a means to digest the food.

Joe, who usually retreated to his upstairs study, remained surprisingly glued to the couch. He watched Gloria and Skylar guess the romantic entanglements of the participants.

When Skylar was with Gloria, she seemed so relaxed. Her smile was genuine and childlike. The house was filled with her laughter.

far more casual and adorable now compared to when she was alone with Joe.

Joe narrowed his eyes, exuding a restrained and aloof demeanor.

Skylar inadvertently caught his gaze
