Chapter 288

Early the next morning, Skylar felt sore all over as she got out of bed. Looking at the mess scattered around the room, she rubbed her forehead.

“It’s only 5.30 am. Why not sleep a bit longer?” Joe asked from the bed.

Skylar wrapped herself in a towel and headed to the closet to pick out her clothes.

“I’m going to make breakfast. We had a lot of stew for dinner last night, and my stomach feels uncomfortable. You go ahead and sleep.”

She blushed at the thought of the staff from Pearlhall Residence coming to clean up the mess, including the disheveled bed. She decided to clean up after preparing breakfast.

When Skylar refused to look at him, Joe teased with a smile, “Why don’t you call me darling anymore? I quite liked it when you called me that last night.”

He got out of bed and followed her to the closet.

Skylar took a deep breath. “You forced me.”

“And how exactly did I force you?”

Skylar could tell Joe was in a great mood. She believed what she’d read online about

how men feel after such intimate moments.

It was true–men seemed to be in a good mood, both physically and emotionally.

Even toward women they didn’t love, they’d become tender and gentle.

She stopped at the door of the closet and turned to look at him. Seeing his bare chest and unusually warm demeanor, she couldn’t help but smile brightly.

Rising on her tiptoes, Skylar quickly gave Joe a quick kiss. “You did very well last

night, darling!”

She raised her thumb in approval.

Joe watched the playful Skylar, his gaze shifting from her fair, smooth thumb to her

sparkling eyes. His heart seemed to stop for a moment.

Suddenly, he grabbed her by the waist. His broad hand clasped her slender waist as he said hoarsely, “It’s still early.”

Skylar noticed the desire simmering in Joe’s eyes. Recalling the wildness of last night, she started to feel anxious. “No, it’s not. I need to make breakfast.”

Joe ignored her protest and kissed her. “Save your strength for me. Don’t waste it on unimportant things.”

As he pulled her back onto the bed, Skylar made a final attempt to resist. “I want to Arink coffee…”

Joe silenced her words with another kiss.

In the clarity of the morning, Skylar couldn’t help–but think how Joe, who always seemed so restrained and self–disciplined, could be so unrestrained at this moment.

Skylar managed to clock in just one minute before her work started. Thankfully, she wasn’t late. As she thought back on the morning’s wild events, her heart raced.

It was all too crazy!

She headed to her workspace. Before starting work, she glanced at her phone. This was the first chance she’d had to check it since the morning. She still hadn’t replied

to Charles and Natalie.

Charles had asked who she was having dinner with. Normally, if she said she was eating, Charles wouldn’t press further.

So why was he suddenly so curious about who she was dining with? Could it be…

“Did he see me having dinner with Joe?”

Charles and his crew often, had gatherings at high–end restaurants or karaoke. It wouldn’t be surprising if they had run into her.

Thinking it over, she replied, “I had stew with a friend. My phone died last night, and just remembered to reply now. Charles, when I get a chance, I’ll introduce you to him.
