Chapter 623
Harvey studied Joe, concluding the other man was more
handsome and slightly taller than himself. However, good looks didn’t guarantee trustworthiness.
“I’m your brother–in–law. I’m Joe Martin. You must be Harvey?” Joe asked.
Skylar’s family was undeniably striking. Both her older brothers and younger brother were exceptionally good–looking.
Harvey raised an eyebrow at the term “brother–in–law” and glanced at Skylar. “Skye.”
Joe’s lips curled into a faint smile. He noted Harvey’s
stubbornness with quiet amusement.
Harvey certainly had a strong personality, which Joe considered a positive trait.
Embarrassed by Harvey’s attitude, Skylar interjected, “Joe and I just got married and obtained our marriage license. You can call
him Joe.”
Harvey’s eyes widened in surprise. “Married? You just got your marriage license?”
He couldn’t believe Skylar had rushed into marriage without
verifying Joe’s trustworthiness. It seemed too sudden. Was Joe
using his looks to deceive Skylar?
“Yeah,” Skylar replied with a smile.
Harvey still couldn’t bring himself to accept Joe. He eyed Joe suspiciously, trying to get a read on him.

As they spoke, Skylar led Joe inside. The living room was filled with the delicious aroma of food.
Janine and Steven were busy in the kitchen, while Charles had just gone to the restroom.
Upon hearing that Skylar had just married someone she barely knew and had asked Harvey to address the man by his first name, he quickly pulled up his pants, washed his hands, and rushed out of the restroom.
Charles called out, “Skye!”
But his gaze sharpened as he saw Joe in the living room, the man he believed had deceived Skylar.
“Charles, let me introduce you. This is Joe Martin,” Skylar said.
Charles had met Joe before but was unaware of Skylar’s relationship with Joe.
“Hello, we’ve met before. But Skye wasn’t around then, so I didn’t get a chance to explain our relationship,” Joe said warmly.
Charles was dumbfounded, his mind reeling from the shock. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red–not out of shyness but out of humiliation.
He was relieved that his earlier concerns were only voiced to Steven. No wonder Steven said he was overthinking things. He had genuinely overthought the situation.
Joe’s friendly attitude toward him was all because of Skylar.
“How did you two meet?” Charles quickly regained his composure, though he still hesitated to meet Joe’s eyes.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Joe. It was that his previous

thoughts were too shameful and petty. So, he directed his question to Skylar instead.
Skylar simply explained, “He is Gloria Hinman’s grandson. She introduced us.”
Though they hadn’t met Gloria’s family, they had heard of them. They were trustworthy.
Charles was surprised that Joe was Gloria’s grandson.
Janine came out of the kitchen carrying a dish. Her worries eased when she heard Skylar’s words.
“Mom,” Skylar greeted Janine.
Joe turned to Janine and said warmly, “Mom.”
Janine was stunned by Joe’s address.
Skylar glanced at Joe, and they met each other’s gaze.
