Chapter 281
Maisy’s words caused Kenny’s expression to change. He immediately strode over
and embraced her. Following that, he lowered his head to kiss her.
“I don’t hate you. Maisy, I like you.”
As soon as those words escaped Kenny’s lips, Maisy immersed herself in the kiss.
She knew that with just a bit of charm, she could make any man fall for her. Moreover, she had grown up with Kenny and knew him inside out.
That day, as Skylar was about to leave work, she received a call from Steven.
He told her he had the weekend off and asked her to go home because he had good news to announce. Charles would be there too, and Harvey had just finished his college entrance exams. So, the whole family could celebrate together.
After agreeing, Skylar first went to Pearlhall Residence to visit Gloria.
Stepping into the villa, she exchanged a few words with Gloria before the housekeeper, Agatha, handed her a bowl of soup.
“Mrs. Martin, this beef and lentil soup is packed with nutrients. I heard you donated blood multiple times before, so you’re feeling somewhat weak. This will nourish your body,” Agatha said with a smile.
Gloria chimed in, “Just having some will do. You might not be able to finish such a
big bowl of soup.”
The more she looked at Skylar, the more her heart swelled with admiration.
Gloria couldn’t help but think Skylar was remarkable. Within such a short time, Joe was already smitten. At this pace, the prospect of having great–grandchildren felt plausible.
After all, if Joe didn’t like someone, he wouldn’t even bother to look at them, let alone.

Given his status, he had been pursued by dozens, if not hundreds, of women over the
years. Gloria could have had plenty of great–grandchildren by now.
Nevertheless, none of them could compare to Skylar.
Skylar accepted the bowl and took a sip. The soup was hearty and comforting, with
the earthiness of lentils complementing the tender beef perfectly.
It was evident that Agatha had poured her heart and soul into making the soup.
“This is delicious. Thank you, Agatha,” Skylar Immediately expressed her gratitude. She was not just being polite. It was truly tasty.
Initially, Skylar thought such medicinal soups would not be delicious.
Before her second chance at life, no matter how much blood she donated, neither Sadie nor Jeffrey thought much about it.
They always assumed Skylar was young and healthy enough to recover quickly.
Hence, they never bothered to prepare any nourishing soups for her.
But Gloria and Agatha had thought of it, and their concern was sincere.
“As long as you like it. I’ll have someone send it to Galaxy Villa every day from now on.
Agatha could tell that Skylar was genuinely grateful. She, too, wanted to treat Skylar
well.
When Joe arrived, he witnessed this heartwarming scene.
The second Gloria saw him, she rolled her eyes disdainfully and asked, “Why did you
just arrive now?”
“I had some matters to attend to in the afternoon,” he answered.
Gloria huffed and snapped, “Didn’t you arrive at the airport at noon? Did you rush to the office? All you ever do is work. You should spend some time with Skye.”
She knew her grandson all too well.

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....
