Chapter 156
Skylar suddenly remembered adding Annie’s contact information to WhatsApp.
Before checking the message, she glanced at Joe. She still hadn’t figured out what was going on between Joe and Annie. Joe’s thoughts were deeply hidden; neither she nor anyone else could guess his intentions.
Annie was obviously interested in Joe. The way Rowan and a few others acted that night suggested that their relationship wasn’t superficial.
“Is something wrong?” Joe asked, turning to look at her. His eyes were cold and inscrutable, easily instilling fear in one’s heart.
Skylar immediately shook her head.
Joe reached up to massage his temple. Work frustration must have seeped into his demeanor; he must
have startled her.
“If there’s anything, you can ask me directly. We’re a married couple now.” Joe said.
A fake married couple under contract, Skylar added silently.
“There’s nothing right now. If there is, I’ll be sure to ask you.”
Joe hummed in acknowledgement and returned to his work.
Skylar opened her WhatsApp and read Annie’s message. “Ms. Sullivan, will you be available this Saturday? There are some things I’d like to discuss with you in person
Wasn’t Saturday tomorrow? She had to return home to see Janine tomorrow. After that, she would be visiting Charles at his workplace. There wasn’t much time left after that.
“Unfortunately, I’m booked tomorrow, but I’m free the day after,” Skylar replied.
Annie responded a few minutes later. “Alright, then let’s meet at Mountain Mist Restaurant the day after
tomorrow at noon.”
“Sure, see you then,” Skylar replied.
After navigating through the congested sections of the road, they arrived at Pearlhall Residence smoothly. Joe and Skylar got out of the car and held hands, their fingers interlocked. Skylar’s fingers felt a little stiff; the intimacy of interlocking their fingers was still unfamiliar to her.
Edgar saw them holding hands and couldn’t help but smile. “Mrs. Martin Senior is waiting for you inside. Mr. and Mrs. Martin, the more I see you two together, the more I’m convinced you’re a perfect match.”
When they exited the car just now, it looked like a scene straight out of a movie.
There was a saying–how did it go? A match made in heaven!
If either of them were replaced, it wouldn’t achieve this effect.

Skylar’s smile froze at the mention of compatibility.
Joe responded smoothly, “When has Grandma ever made a mistake in her judgment?”
“Yes, yes.” Edgar frantically nodded. Anyone Gloria chose as her granddaughter–in–law must be the most compatible with Joe.
The last time they visited, their relationship hadn’t seemed this intimate. Although it hadn’t been long. since then, they were now holding hands as soon as they got out of the car. It was as if they couldn’t bear to be apart even for a moment.
When Gloria saw that, she couldn’t contain her smile. “Oh, my, come quick. Both of you, come over here and see this spread of a feast. I even made some of them myself.”
Gloria had always said that Skylar was Joe’s ideal type. Joe had initially been stubborn about it but look at
him now.
