Chapter 386
Skylar was met with Joe’s naturally cold, sharp, and fieron eyes when Joe pushed the bathroom door Open Her heart pounded hard in her chest
“This isn’t a good idea.
But Joe didnt give her a chance to refuse. She was still slightly stunned when he entered the bathtub and kissed her. His fiery kisses trailed from her liph down:
Skylar’s breathing became hurried.
“Wait… let’s go to bed.”
“No rush, we have all night to go wherever you want,” Joe replied, his breath heavy against her collarbone.
In such moments, Joe was always dominant and assertive. Skylar wondered what had gotten into him. He had never lost control like this before.
“Still think I’m weak?” he whispered in her ear.
“I never thought you were weak…”
Skylar couldn’t remember when they stopped. She wasn’t sure if she had slept for even two hours. Only her determination to get to work on time made her get up.
While washing up, she felt her bones were about to fall apart. Her whole body ached. The mirror revealed the marks Joe had left all over her.
Skylar felt helpless. Fortunately, with the cooler weather, she could wear high–collared clothes to cover
them.
Compared to her state, Joe looked refreshed and had a satisfied smile.
“Why not sleep a bit longer?”
“I have to go to work.”
Skylar was startled by her hoarse voice.
Hearing her raspy voice, Joe said, “Take the day off and rest at home.” Then he added, “I’ll keep your
company.”
Skylar was taken aback by the idea of spending time with him. How could she rest if he was home?
“If I rest any more, I’ll lose my job. You should rest at home, Mr. Joe.”
Joe felt uncomfortable hearing her address him that way. “Call me darling when no one’s around.”
Skylar blushed, “I just can’t say it.”
“You had no problem saying it last night.”
Chapter 386-
Skylar took a deep breath and glared at him. “You made me!”
Joe seemed to be in a good mood. He said, grinning, “You were even calling for me in your dreams.”
Skylar suddenly realized that despite his usually cold and distant demeanor, Joe could be pretty childish sometimes, especially when it came to being called darling.‘
“Why don’t you call me sweetheart?” she asked.
Joe was caught off guard by this question.
Skylar finished applying her makeup and avoided looking at Joe.
He didn’t respond immediately. Probably because “sweetheart” was too intimate a term for him, something he might only say to someone he truly liked.
The atmosphere, which had been very heart–warming, instantly cooled.
Skylar felt a heaviness in her chest. Before heading downstairs, she left a message, “I’ll eat breakfast on my way to work.”
As Skylar hurried to leave, Joe’s expression turned completely cold. His eyes became even sharper. She was only willing to call him darling in bed and was a different person once out of bed.
