Chapter 664
Skylar nodded softly.
Joe gently ruffled her hair and asked, “What kind of wedding do you want?”
Skylar looked surprised. “Are we really going to have a wedding?”
She had thought Joe’s mention of a wedding was just to provoke Edwin and Molly.
The wedding… She had never thought about it before.
“Yes. Don’t most women dream of a wedding they’ll remember for a lifetime? As my wife, you deserve nothing less,” Joe said, his voice tender.
His tone was so soft, as if the wedding was something he genuinely looked forward to.
Skylar replied quietly, “I’ll need to think about it.”
“Any thoughts or requests you have, just let me know,” Joe said.
As the conversation turned to wedding plans, Joe’s demeanor softened further. Unnoticed by both, they eventually drifted off to sleep.
After returning home that night, Edwin and Molly couldn’t calm their emotions for a long time.
“Darling, given Joe’s attitude toward Skylar today, if we try to act against him, it might backfire,” Molly said. Joe’s words seemed mild, but they were likely a warning. Joe probably had some incriminating evidence against them.
Edwin remained stern–faced. “No matter what, I’m still his father. I won’t worry about him. I’ll do what needs to be done.”
In his view, no matter how much Joe might try to assert control, he would never be able to overshadow
him as a father.
Molly nodded. “Alright.”
In the darkness of the night, Molly’s eyes were filled with a grim determination.
If Joe truly cared about Skylar, she would ensure he didn’t get his way. Over the years, Joe had made her life difficult and embarrassed her on more than one occasion.
She was determined to ensure he wouldn’t have the satisfaction of achieving his desires, and there was also Gloria who hadn’t accepted her. She couldn’t allow the two of them to live so comfortably.
The next morning, Skylar and Joe h
breakfast at the hotel before going to the hospital.
Gloria had just woken up. Upon seeing them, she smiled warmly and said, “I’m fine. You two don’t need to worry.”
Her health was deteriorating more and more. Just a few words with her son had caused her to faint from a sudden surge of anger, which in turn made Joe and Skylar worry about her.
“Mrs. Martin Senior just had a large bowl of chicken soup, and Dr. Colon has been by. You don’t need to be concerned,” Edgar said.
Seeing Gloria’s improved condition eased Skylar’s worries. She said, “It’s good that Grandma is fine.”

Earlier that morning, the doctor, Gavin Colon, called Joe to explain Gloria’s current condition. Although her fainting spell was related to her heart, it was primarily due to a surge of anger that overwhelmed her, causing her to faint. Since she had come to the hospital on time, there was no need for excessive
concern.
“Did your father come by last night? Did the two of you argue again?” Gloria asked. She turned to Joe, who had been quiet and had a somber expression.
Although Edgar hadn’t said anything to her, she knew she had fainted while on the phone with Edwin.
Despite Edwin’s lack of loyalty, he would still come to the hospital.
The father and son duo were practically enemies. They fought whenever they met, all due to the unfortunate events of the past.
Gloria sighed again with resignation,
Joe spoke calmly, “It’s normal for us to argue whenever we meet. Don’t worry about it.”
In his eyes, having a father or not made no difference. He might as well be dead.
Skylar quietly peeled an apple beside them. The faint apple scent helped to neutralize the smell of disinfectant in the room.
