Chapter 538
Skylar made all her complaints in one breath. When she thought of the fact that she was Annie’s replacement, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Joe had no time to reflect upon why he was relieved upon finding out that he’d slept with Skylar.
“You’ve misunderstood me. Annie had drugged me. I pushed her off me while I was still conscious. When you came, I thought you were Annie for a second,” Joe explained patiently.
After their night of frantic passion, his body was satisfied. Now, he was in a great mood. He gave his explanations gently and patiently. It was evident that he was feeling fantastic.
Skylar didn’t entirely believe him. She asked, “Is it just a misunderstanding? Didn’t you just ask me to get lost? I think I also heard you calling Annie’s name just now.”
Every single inch of her body was sore. She probably hadn’t slept for long before getting roused from her sleep by Joe. Skylar was furious.
Joe’s gentle expression froze on his face. He had to teach the Silvers a lesson.
“When I woke up, I thought you were Annie. I felt disgusted and furious,” said Joe softly.
Skylar was stunned. She repeated, “Disgusted?”
“Yeah.”
Skylar’s anger dissipated. She did not let their misunderstanding develop further. She could tell that Joe’s explanation was genuine.
If not, Paul wouldn’t have called her, and she wouldn’t have seen the downtrodden Silvers in the parking lot, either.
“Do you believe me now?” Joe pulled Skylar into his arms. He always felt comfortable holding her. It satisfied a part of him deep within.
Skylar suddenly grabbed Joe’s hand, which had been placed over her chest. She said, “I’m different from you. I know how to tell between what’s right and wrong
For some reason, his hands tended to wander while holding her.
“Do you like it when I touch you here? Don’t worry. I’ll touch you even if you don’t press my hand against it, “Joe whispered. His hot breath fanned her ear.
Skylar’s heart skipped a beat. Joe knew every sensitive spot on her.
He asked seductively, “Do you want to do it?”
Skylar’s heart pounded. She replied, “No, I don’t!”
She freed herself from Joe’s embrace. Then, she wrapped a blanket around her body before getting out of bed. She said, “I’m going to take a shower and get to work. If you’re still under the influence of the aphrodisiac, you should deal with it on your own.”

She’d been tortured by him for the whole of last night. She couldn’t stand it anymore. Even a piece of metal would bend after a night of hammering.
When Skylar ran to the bathroom and looked back, she found that there had only been one blanket on the bed, and no extras had been available.
Joe’s naked figure was splayed before her. He didn’t even try to cover himself with a pillow.

Skylar glanced at him briefly. Her guess hadn’t been wrong. He’d wanted to go again.
Skylar inhaled deeply and ducked into the bathroom. She could hear Joe cackling outside.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to touch you for today.”
“A man’s guarantee can never be fully trusted!”
Skylar stood before the mirror and looked at herself. She was marked from head to toe, and her cheeks were flushed. When Joe put his everything into it, she couldn’t stand it.
Her legs trembled as she stood. Skylar probably wouldn’t be able to go to work. She needed to take another day off from work
