My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Chapter 205

Skylar was still asleep when they arrived at Galaxy Villa.

Joe didn’t wake her up. Instead, he gazed at her, and his usually cold eyes softened as he took in her serene face.

Skylar’s rosy lips looked incredibly tempting in the moonlight. Joe felt a slight

tightness in his chest and pursed his lips.

Skylar wasn’t sleeping comfortably, so she adjusted her posture. Slowly, she blinked her eyes, rousing from her slumber.

“Did I fall asleep?” she asked, her voice groggy.

Joe found her disoriented state endearing and couldn’t help but respond gently, “Yes.

Skylar frowned slightly. “I think I heard you saying something, but I was too drowsy to really catch it. I’m sorry.”

Skylar felt frustrated with herself. The past few days had been exhausting; she had been working on restoring Frank’s painting, which had left her with little time to rest.

Sitting in the car with Joe driving had made it too easy for her to drift off. She couldn’t recall exactly what Joe had said, but his tone had suggested that it was something important.

After Skylar sincerely apologized, Joe found it hard to bring up the serious. conversation he had planned. It seemed too practical for the moment.

Given their age difference, Skylar might not take it well right now. Joe then decided

to swallow his words and wait for a better time.

“It’s nothing. That fake heiress from the Williams family came to see me yesterday,” Joe said, unbuckling Skylar’s seatbelt.

Skylar noticed Joe’s thoughtfulness and felt a bit surprised. But her attention quickly shifted to Maisy.

She frowned. She was worried that Joe might get swayed by Maisy’s charms, just

like the Williams family. After all, Maisy had a knack for portraying herself as an innocent, vulnerable victim.

“The Williamses are astonishingly dumb. Who would’ve thought they’d fall for such shallow ploys?” Joe continued.

Skylar was taken aback. “Don’t you find her delicate and feel the urge to protect her?”

Joe frowned. “No, I don’t.” Even as a child, he had easily been able to see through such manipulative acts. By now, they were trivial.

Skylar gave him a thumbs–up. “You’re amazing!”

Joe’s eyes lingered on her cheerful expression and her slender fingers. For a fleeting moment, his thoughts wandered.

His real prowess wasn’t about not being deceived. It was something else entirely- the kind of skills that could be shown in bed.

Being able to see through Maisy’s petty schemes wasn’t something that should be complimented.

As Joe’s thoughts wandered, Skylar had already stepped out of the car. He followed suit.

Over the past few weeks, they had grown accustomed to spending time alone. Back at the villa, they each headed to their rooms to shower and rest.

Although Skylar was yawning, she couldn’t sleep without handling her Amazon shop. orders first. Just as she was wrapping up, Joe’s message popped up on her phone.

“Did you forget what you promised me?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Skylar was perplexed. What had she promised Joe? They hadn’t really talked on the way back. Had she agreed to something in her half–asleep state?

Then, Skylar remembered her promise belatedly.
