Chapter 580
“Mr. Martin, you don’t seem to treat Mrs. Martin well. She might think that you don’t care about her. Women need to be coaxed and appeased.
“My wife really appreciates thoughtful gestures. I bring her home dinner and a small cake after work each day. Then, I would shower her with some kind words. A little always goes a long way. Perhaps you could show Mrs. Martin similar kindness to make her feel cared for.”
Lucas gave Joe some genuine advice. He hoped that Joe would listen.
Joe raised a brow. He asked, “She will be filled with adoration for cake?“.
you just because of some food and a
Lucas reminded sternly, “Mr. Martin, you must also feed her with pleasantries.”
Being gentle was the key component of this plan.
Joe looked down at the woman in his arms. He seemed to be thinking about Lucas‘ words.
Lucas couldn’t read Joe. He regretted running his mouth without thinking about it beforehand.
Joe definitely knew that.
“In that case … I’ll take my leave, Mr. Martin,” Lucas said hesitantly.
Joe glanced at him and replied, “Alright!”
Lucas ran away immediately.
Joe carried Skylar upstairs and placed her in bed. As he helped her change, she remained motionless. Skylar was as obedient as she could be.
Most of Joe’s rage dissipated. He asked, “You should’ve been obedient all this time. It would’ve saved us much hassle.”
Skylar seemed to be heartless. She drank till she was unconscious.
Although Joe grumbled about Skylar, the wrinkle between his eyes smoothened to the rhythm of her calm breaths.
When Skylar woke up the next day, she had a horrible headache.
Skylar felt extremely confused when she found herself in Galaxy Villa. She felt as though a chunk of her memory was missing. Wasn’t she supposed to be at Natalie’s place?
How had she come home?
Joe asked from beside her, “You’re up?”
Skylar glanced over immediately and questioned, “When did you come home?”
Joe sat up. He was shirtless, showing off his rippling muscles without inhibition. He said, “Have you forgotten what happened next?”
Alarm bells began ringing in Skylar’s brain. She couldn’t be bothered to enjoy the view before her. She questioned, “Did something happen last night?”
Why did she lose her composure every time she drank? She forgot everything that happened while under the influence. Skylar had no clue of how she returned home.

Suddenly, she recalled Joe telling her he would be coming home that night before she exited his car. How about her?
Skylar couldn’t discern anything from his somber gaze
She felt insecure. Had something really happened?
Although Skylar tried to hide her emotions, Joe could tell she was concerned. Joe wavered. Casually, he you while said, “You didn’t do anything too outlandish. You merely held onto me, asking me never to leave saying that you couldn’t survive without me. You wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.”
“What?” Skylar exclaimed in surprise.,
Had she forced Joe into making promises while she was intoxicated?
Joe gazed at Skylar and asked, “So, does this mean you’ve fallen for me?”
Joe seemed to be awaiting an answer from Skylar.
Her expression changed.
Upon seeing that, Joe also turned somber. He looked away and got out of bed. He said, “I was joking. I know you won’t fall in love with me. Breakfast will be sent over from Pearlhall Residence.”
