Classic Novel
Chapter 158
Gloria noticed Skylar and Joe exchanging glances.
When Gloria realized how late it was, she urged them, “It’s getting late. You two should go upstairs and get some rest. I’m feeling tired myself.”
When she tried on clothes earlier, Edgar mentioned how the two seemed to have developed feelings for
each other. Gloria had some doubts at first. But seeing how Joe looked at Skylar, there was something
unusual about it. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Gloria noticed traces of affection.
Sharing a bed at their age was bound to create a certain intimacy. Would their connection remain truly
platonic?
This was the time for desires to heighten, and it would seem a waste if nothing happened after spending
the night together.
After Skylar and Joe went upstairs, Skylar took a shower first, as usual. When she finished, Joe went in for
his turn.
It was awkward for them to share the same bed.
Skylar checked her Amazon store after lying down like she usually would her nightly routine. Orders had been pouring these past two days, likely due to positive word–of–mouth.
Her store was making thousands of dollars in just a day.
She could consider making a down payment for a house soon. Then, Janine and her brothers could move
1. in.
Skylar thought of how they could live under a roof as a family in the future–having meals together and waiting for her brothers to start their own families.
Thinking about these made her feel happy.
Joe emerged from the bathroom and saw Skylar smiling brightly. He wondered what had made her so happy
“Feeling happy?” Joe asked.
Skylar nodded happily and showed him her phone screen. “This is my online store. It’s been making me
thousands of dollars recently.”
After a while, she could sell some of the genuine antiques she bought. This could prevent many antique
lovers from being cheated.
“That’s great. Congratulations.”
He seemed to be influenced by Skylar’s happiness. In his loungewear and after showering, he appeared less stern and more pure.
Skylar was also more relaxed and said, “You’ve been busy these days, and I haven’t had the chance to treat you to a meal. When you have time, let me know two hours in advance. I’ll prepare a sumptuous.
dinner for you at home.”
She almost forgot about it until she thought of paying the down payment for a house, which led her to the memory of depositing millions of dollars in the bank a few days ago.
“Tomorrow night then,” Joe said as he lay down.
“Tomorrow I’m going to my mom’s place. We’ve planned to have dinner together at a hotel. I’m really sorry. How about the night after tomorrow?” Skylar asked.
Joe had no objections. “Sure. You rarely talk about your family. Do you mind telling me about them? *
Joe suddenly wanted to know more about Skylar–not about how she was bullied in the Williams family but about her upbringing with Janine and her family.
“I have two older brothers. Steven is my big brother, and Charles is my second brother. There’s also my younger brother, Harvey. He is preparing for the college entrance examination.
“They’re the best family anyone could ask for. My mom never resorted to physical punishment, even when I was a naughty child.
“My brothers absolutely doted on me. We may not have had a father figure, but love was never lacking. My eldest brother has always been fiercely protective…
Perhaps it was due to the serene ambience that Skylar slowly began talking about herself.
Her heart felt truly calm discussing her family, which, truth be told, was quite ordinary.
