My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 

There were messages from others but none from Skylar. 

*She was so sweet in bed but became cold and heartless as soon as she got out of it. 

Joe pursed his lips and stood up, walking over to the window. The sight overlooked the bustling streets of Jipsburg City and the hustle and bustle of traffic below. 

Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of irritation and took out a cigarette. 

Amidst the swirl of smoke, a message popped up on his phone. With the cigarette between his fingers, he clicked open WhatsApp:– 

It was from Skylar. 

“Grandma said dinner will be delivered to us tonight. Will you come back to eat?” 

Joe didn’t notice his lips curling up slightly. He simply replied, “Yes.” 

On Friday, Skylar completed the restoration of Frank’s painting. 

When Frank saw the restored antique painting in his hands, tears welled up in his eyes. “Skye’s restoration skills are amazing! She has completely restored it in such a 

short time.” 

Alexander, standing nearby, was equally astonished. He knew better than anyone how damaged the painting had been originally. Thus, he was even more impressed by Skylar’s skill. 

She truly lived up to being Viola’s apprentice. Alexander couldn’t help but wonder if one day Skylar might surpass even Viola. 

“In fact, her restoration skills are already better than mine,” Alexander thought with a bit of dismay. When he/saw the painting, he had little confidence it could be restored so well under his hands. 

“Skylar’s technique is indeed outstanding. It’s probably difficult to find another 

person like her in Jipsburg,” Alexander complimented. 

Frank nodded repeatedly. “Yes, you’re right. It’s really hard to find another one like 

her. Oh, right. Skye, I’ve investigated the matter we discussed last time. 

“It turns out someone intentionally got Nigel to buy that traditional dress, and it was 

indeed meant to harm Grace. We’ve handled the matter, and Grace is recovering well. 

Upon hearing that everything had been resolved, Skylar smiled. “That’s good to hear. 

Grace will recover soon.” 

However, she couldn’t shake a lingering sense of unease. Every time she thought 

about Frank’s family matters, she couldn’t help but think about Nigel. 

Had he really been deceived? 

After briefly entertaining these doubts, Skylar smiled to herself. Since Frank said 

everything had been investigated, it must have been the case. 

Once Frank confirmed that there were no issues with the painting, he transferred the 

remaining payment to the company’s account. 

According to their prior agreement, Alexander promptly sent Skylar her fee. 

Skylar saw her bank account balance increase again, which made her especially 

happy. 

It was the weekend the next day, and she was planning to head home. She decided 

to stop by after work to buy some clothes for Janine. 

Janine was quite beautiful. However, she had always taken care of Skylar and the 

rest that she rarely spent money on herself. She wore the same clothes for years and 

seldom used skincare products. 

Despite this, Janine’s skin was naturally fair. It was well–maintained, even with just simple baby cream. She had very few wrinkles on her face. 

Compared to Sadie, who took care of her skin every day, Janine’s skin was even 

better. 

After work, Skylar went to the mall across the street. She picked out two sets of

skincare and makeup products and bought clothes and shoes according to Janine’s 

measurements. 

Following that, she bought some additional items, filling the trunk of her car to the 

brim. 

The next day, as she was about to leave, Joe glanced at her. 

Noticing his stare, she smiled and asked him cheerfully, “Would you like to come with me to see my family? My mom’s cooking is really good, much better than mine.” 

Although she was asking, Skylar knew very well that Joe wouldn’t tag along with her. 

They weren’t at that stage yet. 

To put simply, it wasn’t the right time yet. 

Chapter 296 

However, when Skylar noticed Joe looking at her, she asked him out of politeness. 

Joe’s eyes flickered slightly, and he closed the book in his hand. “I have a video conference in an hour. Maybe next time,” he replied with an expected answer. 

Skylar nodded with a smile. “Okay, I’m leaving then.” 

“Wait.” 

Skylar stopped again, feeling a bit puzzled. 

Why did Joe seem reluctant to let her go? It was unusual. 

“Anything else?” she asked. 

Joe set the book down and walked over, his long legs covering the distance quickly. The height difference caused him to lower his head to look at her. 

The way he looked at her, it almost seemed like he was gazing at her affectionately. 

“You…” Joe’s gaze dropped to her collarbone. “Are you sure you want to visit your family with that?” 

Following his gaze, Skylar looked down and instantly blushed. “I didn’t notice.” 

Last night, Joe had been unable to restrain himself again and left hickeys on her skin. Anyone would be able to tell what they had been to. 

up 

If she were to say it was an allergy or a mosquito bite, no one would believe her. 

Skylar hurried upstairs to change into clothes that could cover the hickeys on her collarbone. When she returned downstairs, she confronted Joe, “Next time, can you
