Chapter 611 

Charles found it uncanny that they had even run into each other in the restroom. He wondered what kind of karmic ties could be at play. 

Joe frowned slightly. 

Charles was too stunned to say anything more. He just wanted to leave quickly. He practically ran out of the restroom as if trying to escape disaster, moving faster than he had when leaving the elevator.

Joe’s gaze darkened. By all accounts, Steven was very bold. When he first met him, there had been no trace of fear, as if meeting him was nothing unusual. It was strange how different Charles seemed from Steven. 

Just then, Skylar emerged from the restroom. She noticed Joe’s narrowed eyes and furrowed brow. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?” 

“I just ran into Charles,” Joe replied directly. 

Skylar glanced around. “Charles?” 

“Yes. I’ve noticed he’s always been rather low–key in the entertainment industry. Don’t you think he’s a bit timid?” Joe inquired. 

Skylar was incredulous at Joe’s description of Charles as timid. She said, “How is he timid? Charles has always been very bold.” 

Charles had climbed mountains, waded through rivers, climbed trees, and even poked at hornet nests. He‘ had done all sorts of daring things. He had been a tyrant at school. He wasn’t a bully who picked on others, yet no one would have dared to bully him. 

He was extraordinarily bold. Perhaps even Charles himself couldn’t have imagined anyone describing him as timid. 

Joe had more to say but understood that Skylar could never see Charles as timid. He decided to leave the matter alone. “Let’s go,” he said. 

Skylar didn’t ask any more questions but thought it was good that she hadn’t run into Charles. Otherwise, she would have to explain her relationship with Joe to him. 

She felt it was necessary to inform her family about her relationship with Joe. After all, Gloria had suggested that both families meet. 

Even if she and Joe found that they were not suited for each other and decided to get a divorce three years from now, she wouldn’t be able to hide their marriage from them for that long. 

They were bound to find out eventually. It was better to explain things ahead of time. 

As Joe and Skylar left the restaurant, Charles returned to the private room and took several large gulps of alcohol to steady himself. 

“What did you do? Didn’t you go to the restroom? Did you see a ghost?” Aldrich asked. 

Charles‘ mouth twitched. “You’re night. It was like seeing a ghost.” 

Joe was definitely unusual, Charles felt something was off. 

Meanwhile, at Galaxy Villa, the two sets of sunset–themed, fawn–patterned loungewear exuded an unmistakable air of cuteness. A frozen look replaced Joe’s anticipation as he stared at the loungewear

Skylar tried to suppress, a laugh. She pretended not to notice his shock. “Why don’t you try them on? We can exchange them for the right size if they don’t fit. If they fit, I’ll wash them, and they’ll be ready for wear. 

She couldn’t help but imagine how Joe would look in it The style seemed like something even an 18–year- old Joe would avoid. 

Joe raised an eyebrow and looked at Skylar. “Let’s try them on together.” 

“Sure,” Skylar agreed enthusiastically. 

Seeing Skylar struggling to contain her laughter, Joe smirked and looked down at her. “You’ve given me several surprises for my birthday today. I have to return the favor.” 

Skylar suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. “If you don’t like them, you don’t have to wear them. I realize now they might not be your usual style.” 

Joe insisted, “I want to try them.” 

Eventually, they both changed into the loungewear. 

However, before they even left the walk–in closet, Joe gently pushed Skylar against the wall and kissed her with forceful, passionate intensity. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
