Joe smiled. "I just got off the plane and will be home soon."
"What? Aren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?" Skylar asked, surprised.
They had spoken on the phone earlier that morning and agreed to meet the next day, so she hadn't expected him to return so soon.
"The work's done, and I changed my flight," Joe explained. He didn't want to waste any more time away from home.
"I'll be waiting for you at home. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I can make something for you now," Skylar said, her mood lifting.
Skylar knew precisely what Joe would want to eat without him needing to say it. He must not have been eating well during his time abroad.
Joe truly wanted to eat something Skylar made. "I like everything you make. Anything works for me."
He hadn't been hungry on his way back, but now, during the conversation with Skylar, his appetite suddenly kicked in. His expression softened, and warmth radiated from his features.
A few of his employees who were with him noticed the rare tenderness in Joe's demeanor. It was obvious to them that he was on the phone with his wife.
As for thoughts about Beata, they could all see through her intentions. Such a beauty was hard for any man to resist. Yet, Joe hadn't spared her a second glare. But they couldn't deny that Skylar was also an exceptional beauty.
It was unfortunate that Beata was a stunning woman who stirred emotions that were difficult to suppress.
…
One month later, at Janine's house, the family gathered once again for their monthly gathering. Everyone had shown up today.
As Charles entered, it was clear he hadn't removed his makeup. The vintage style lingered on his face, and his clothes were still the same.
"I'll go upstairs and change first," he said.
After changing, he came downstairs to find Skylar and Harvey chatting. Joe and Steven were talking nearby while Mona was speaking with Janine.
The children were playing together.
Harvey hadn't anticipated the situation with his relatives. "An island?"
"Yeah, I can recommend a few. I've been to a few islands for filming these past few years. They're not crowded, and the scenery is nice," Charles said, already searching for options on his phone.
"You're right, an island sounds great," Skylar added, also leaning toward the idea of an island getaway to unwind.
The situation back home had gotten more complicated, and Finn might have made contact with their relatives, stirring up some trouble now and then.
Harvey gave it a serious thought. "Alright, let's go to an island."
"By the way, do you want to meet Thelma? I signed her up for my studio," Charles said, glancing at Harvey.
Surprised, Harvey asked, "You signed Thelma?"
Charles lowered his gaze, sounding nonchalant. "Didn't you say she was your high school classmate and asked me to look out for her? I saw that the company she was with before wasn't great, so I brought her over."

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
