Chapter 173
It didn’t seem impossible.
Charles was skeptical, but he remained optimistic. “Hahaha! It doesn’t matter if it’s a mistake or not. What matters is that these past two days have been amazing!”
Soon, Skylar had already washed and prepared all the ingredients, including the meat, which she had also marinated. After checking the time, she called Joe.

“What time will you be home?” Skylar asked Joe, who was playing basketball with a
friends.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Joe glanced at the time and replied, “I’m getting ready to head back now. I’ll be home in about an hour.”
“I’ll leave first,” Joe said to the group, including John.
“Why are you leaving so early? Let’s play for another hour,” John suggested. It was rare that everyone had time today to gather for basketball.
Joe shook his head. “I have plans tonight.”
Raising an eyebrow, John immediately guessed after looking at Joe’s smile. “Are you heading home?”
John whispered, “Didn’t you say you didn’t like her? It doesn’t seem like it.”
Joe suppressed his smile and replied, “You don’t understand.” Then he walked away.
John raised an eyebrow. Who was the one talking?
Joe caught a whiff of delicious food as soon as he reached Galaxy Villa. Perhaps it was because he was tired from playing basketball, but his stomach had started growling on the way back. Now, he couldn’t wait anymore after smelling the enticing aroma of food.
In the dining area, Joe saw several dishes already laid out on the table. Though Skylar’s cooking might not
be as fancy as that of a five–star chef, her dishes had a homely charm.
They were simple yet delicious, and each time he ate her food, he found himself eating more than he
intended. After playing basketball all afternoon and burning a lot of calories, it wouldn’t hurt to eat a little
extra that night.
Skylar brought out the seared salmon she had just finished cooking and noticed Joe had returned. “You’re
back!”
It seemed like he had returned ten minutes earlier than she expected. She still had two dishes that would be ready in ten minutes.
“The traffic was smooth today,” Joe said with a faint smile, his tone relaxed.
He seemed to be in a good mood. Skylar smiled too. “There are two more dishes. Just wait for me for

another ten minutes.”
“Sure, take your time.” Joe nodded.
Looking around the table, he counted nearly 20 dishes. Though there were various dishes, each had a small portion, they wouldn’t be wasting any food.
Ten minutes later, Skylar completed the last two dishes. She peeked out from the kitchen and asked Joe, Mr. Martin, would you like something to drink? We have red wine, and there are some other beverages in the fridge.”

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....
