Chapter 211
Gloria and Joe chatted a bit more before ending the call.
Skylar quietly listened from the side. She glanced at her watch, which showed that it was just 2:00 pm. She still had plenty of time since she had taken the whole day off.
“Wanna go to the hot springs and relax for a bit?” Joe asked as he looked down at
Skylar.
Skylar’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Sure!”
She had been doing restoration work for the past few days. Sitting all day long had made her body feel very tense. A soak in the hot springs would be perfect for relieving that tension.
As they were about to get into the car, another car pulled up not far away. A mother and daughter got out of the car.
Natalie’s sharp eyes spotted Joe, and her eyes widened in surprise. Was that Joe?
She was lost in thought for a moment.
Meanwhile, there was a woman in the passenger seat. Her face wasn’t visible, so
Natalie could only see half of her back.
Although it was just the back, it didn’t look like Annie because her hair wasn’t that long. And besides…
“Nath, what are you looking at?” asked Kate Turner, Natalie’s mother.
Natalie withdrew her gaze and shook her head. “Nothing. Let’s go, Mom. We have an appointment with the doctor.
Half an hour later, Natalie was waiting in the corridor for Kate to finish her check–up. As she waited, she sent a WhatsApp message to Skylar.
“I just brought my mom to the hospital for a check–up, and guess who I saw? I saw
Joe Martin. I’ve been running into him a lot lately. Oh, I digress. That’s not the point.
Do you know what the point is?
“I saw him sitting with a woman in the passenger seat of his car. They looked quite
close, and their relationship seemed unusual. I can definitely smell an affair! That
woman isn’t Annie Silver!”
Skylar was sitting in the passenger seat while looking out the window. The moment
she saw Natalie’s message, she was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.
Natalie could have a future as a paparazzo.
“Why does everyone look like they’re having an affair to you?” Skylar texted back.
This was bad. Now, she didn’t knew how to explain her relationship with Joe to
Natalie. It was somewhat tricky.
Could it be that Natalie had already seen her and Joe at the hospital? Probably not.
Natalie was too forthright to keep a secret.
If she had seen them, she would have rushed over to greet them. It was unlikely that
she would describe Skylar and Joe’s relationship as an affair now.
Natalie replied, “Because Joe has never publicly acknowledged any woman around him. I once thought that he was gay. But I’ve seen him with women twice in a row
lately.
“Isn’t it obvious that he’s recently fallen in love? But the woman I saw just now… even
from her back, I could tell she had an amazing figure!”
Skylar couldn’t help but laugh when Natalie complimented her figure. “Is her figure
really that good?”
“Of course. Not every figure can be called good in my eyes. You’re one of the few
exceptions. But…”
“But what?” Skylar asked.
“Now that I think about it, that woman’s figure is quite similar to you
yours. If I didn’t know that you and Joe don’t know each other, I would’ve thought that woman was
you!”
Skylar looked at their chat, and her smile slowly faded.
It was a good thing Natalie hadn’t delved deeper. “I gotta go. I need to accompany my mom for her check–up. Let’s meet up in a few days. Come to my place; Jeremy is

going on a business trip tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
they had
At the hot spring resort, Joe drove to the villa they had stayed in the last time. Not far
behind them was a stretch Lincoln limousine filled with young men and women.
One of them pointed at the car ahead and said, “If I’m not mistaken, that’s Joe
Martin’s car. There seems to be a woman with him.”
“Joe Martin?” Samuel immediately leaned forward to look at the car ahead upon
hearing Joe’s name.
