Chapter 283 

Charles wrote, “What are you doing, Skye?” 

Seeing that he had sent Skylar a message on WhatsApp, his friend chuckled and 

asked, “You care deeply about your sister, huh?” 

“She’s my sister. If I don’t care about her, who will?” Charles replied matter–of–factly. 

His friend asked again, “Doesn’t your sister have a boyfriend?” 

He remembered seeing a photo of Skylar on Charles‘ phone and was immediately captivated. He had asked Charles to introduce her. However, Charles mentioned she 

had a boyfriend. 

Charles‘ expression turned cold at the mention of Skylar’s boyfriend. 

“That guy’s a jerk. They broke up,” he spat. 

His friend’s eyes lit up with excitement instantly. But before he could say a word, Charles immediately dashed his hope. 

“You and my sister aren’t compatible, either. You have too many ex–girlfriends, and my sister is too naive to see through you.” 

The friend realized he didn’t stand a chance with Skylar. Nevertheless, he quickly realized he wasn’t one to give up everything for one woman. 

Charles‘ friend responded, “Well, if it’s not meant to be, then it’s not. Anyway, what happened between you and Samuel? He’s the second male lead, while you’re just a supporting role, so don’t confront him head–on. 

“I heard he’s petty. Besides, he has targeted you before. If you don’t show him some respect, he might make things difficult for you in the industry. 

“Listen to me, okay? Show him some courtesy now. With your acting skills, you can go to greater heights. You’ll have the chance to crush him then. But for now, put up 

with it first.” 

Charles‘ expression remained frosty as he said, “I’ll deal with that when it comes. I 

won’t tolerate him now.” 

His friend was rendered speechless. 

“Alright, suit yourself. I heard his family’s company is facing some trouble lately. He used to rely on being a rich kid and having connections in the industry, but he’s in for a tough ride.” 

In truth, few people liked Samuel because he was too arrogant. 

After reading Charles‘ message, Skylar did not think much of it and replied, “I’m having dinner. 

As she sat down, she noticed that almost all the stew base and ingredients were already on the table. 

She lifted her head and saw Joe engrossed in his phone while waiting for her. 

“Why didn’t you start without me?” asked Skylar. 

“I was waiting for you.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, Joe set his phone aside and slowly added ingredients to the stew pot. 

Skylar stared at his slender fingers as he held the cutlery, momentarily captivated. She couldn’t help but recall when those hands roamed over her body that night. 

Skylar gulped before adding the ingredients she liked to the pot. 

Some people exuded a sense of sophistication even in the simple act of dining, and 

Joe was one of them. At that moment, he appeared elegant and dignified. 

However, no matter how captivating someone was, they did not matter in the 

presence of a food lover. 

Skylar’s attention quickly shifted to the food in front of her. 

The ingredients in this stew restaurant were incredibly fresh. On top of that, there 

were some items not available at other eateries. Skylar could feast to her heart’s 

content. 

The food was amazing. 

7/3 

“I heard from a friend that this chain restaurant is popular, but the prices are outrageous. I always thought dining at such places was just for their ambiance. I can’t believe how delicious it is!” Skylar could not stop praising. 

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the kind of place she could frequent. It felt like every bite came with a hefty price tag. 

Skylar reckoned she could bring her family here sometime. 

A smile played on Joe’s lips as he said, “If you like it here, you can come often.” 

Skylar shook her head decisively. “It’s too expensive. Once in a while is fine.” 

“You’re Mrs. Martin. As long as it’s a restaurant under the Martin Group, you can dine for free. Come whenever you want.” 

Skylar’s expression faltered slightly upon hearing that. Her status as Mrs. Martin was uncertain, and she couldn’t foresee when she might lose it. 

She had thought about it carefully for the past few days. 

That night, Joe had lost control not because he liked her. Instead, it was because they were both under the influence of drugs. 

Perhaps one day, Joe would meet a woman he fell for at first sight. 

When that time came, Skylar would let him go.
