Joe’s eyes carried a hint of a smile. Suddenly, he felt that if he had enough of living in Jipsburg City, he could come here to stay for a while each year.
Living simply with Skylar here felt quite comfortable.
“After dinner, let’s visit Grandma Viola’s place. Mrs. Munoz Senior likely didn’t mistake her. Grandma Viola must have come back a few days ago,” Skylar suggested. There was a trace of regret in her voice.
She should have returned a couple of days earlier. Then, they might still have gotten a chance to see Viola.
But then again, if Viola had returned a few days ago, she wondered if that meant someone had forced her to write those letters.
She hadn’t thought much about it when Alma mentioned Viola earlier. But now, as the thoughts settled in, an unsettling feeling crept over her.
The nightmares referenced in the letters were a past she wished to forget. She wondered if those letters truly indicated Viola’s intentions.
Joe noticed the quick shift in Skylar’s emotions and asked, “Are you worried about Grandma Viola?”
He sensed that there was something more than just concern in her voice when she mentioned her. It felt like she was harboring a fear, and he wondered what she feared.

Inside, the entire house was as tidy as the yard. It held many of Skylar’s childhood memories. It was a two- story house, and the second floor contained many of Viola’s old belongings, all of which were locked
away.
Skylar had keys that could open those locks. The second floor was spacious, and she remembered that every time she came to Viola’s house to learn how to restore antiques, she would spend her time on that floor.
“Be careful not to touch anything. Grandma Viola has set up some traps. You might get hurt if you’re not careful,” she warned.
Skylar was familiar with the place and felt at ease, but Joe had never been there before, and any careless movement could lead to injury.
Joe nodded in acknowledgment and followed closely behind Skylar as they moved inside. She felt

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
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....
