Chapter 650
Right before Skylar could hit the person next to her, they spoke up,” It’s me.”
Surprised, Skylar exclaimed, “Joe?”
Joe hummed in acknowledgment and said, “Don’t worry. Go back to sleep.”
Skylar sighed in relief and asked, “Didn’t you say you would be away on a business trip for two days? Why have you come home today?”
After being roused in the middle of the night, Skylar’s drowsiness had dissipated.
Joe hugged her and explained, “I finished my work early. I’ve just gotten off the plane.”
“Alright, have a good rest,” Skylar whispered. She said nothing else.
He’d caught a flight back home in the dead of the night. Joe must’ve been tired.
Perhaps it was a figment of Skylar’s imagination, but she felt like Joe was troubled. However, it was only a guess of hers. Maybe he was indeed merely exhausted.
Skylar fell asleep shortly after in Joe’s warm embrace. Joe drifted off as well.
When she woke up and saw Joe beside her, she knew what had happened the previous day hadn’t been a dream.
Joe had woken up along with Skylar
Joe glanced at Skylar, who was trying to tip–toe out of the bedroom. He said, “Let’s go for breakfast together. I know a good restaurant.”

Skylar stopped and looked back at Joe. She asked, “Aren’t you going to keep resting?”
“There’s no need for that.”
Joe got out of bed. He was wearing matching pajamas with Skylar.
He had an atrocious bedhead. With his pajamas, Joe looked unkempt yet gorgeous. Skylar couldn’t help but glance in his direction repeatedly.
“It’s only been two days. Now, you can’t even bear to blink your eyes as you stare at me. Do you miss me?” Joe asked, his eyes glinting mischievously.
He had slept in a hotel while on a business trip. Because he’d gotten used to sleeping with Skylar in his arms, he found it difficult to fall. asleep.
Whether Skylar missed him, Joe didn’t know. However, he’d stayed awake thinking of her.
“Your self–confidence is through the roof,” Skylar complained.
She seldom saw him in such a state and watched him a bit longer.. His imagination was in overdrive.
They chatted while getting ready for the day.
Not before long, they got into the car.
Lucas had been waiting outside Galaxy Villa for a long time. Their
house wasn’t far from the breakfast place.
After breakfast, Joe accompanied her to work. On the way there, they agreed to go to Pearlhall Residence in the evening.
Half an hour later, Joe arrived at the office.
Joe and Paul strode into the elevator. Just as its doors were about to

close, they opened suddenly, and a familiar figure slipped in.
When Paul saw her, he exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you here, Ms.
Scott?”
Had they been somewhere other than the office, Paul wouldn’t have been as stupefied. Paul’s jaw dropped at the sight of Jenny.
Joe raised an eyebrow upon seeing her.
Jenny beamed. However, she faked astonishment and said, “I wasn’t expecting to run into both of you on my first day of work.”
Had Joe planned this?
