There were already three dishes on the table.
“Turn on the television and have a watch. I’ll be done soon. You haven’t eaten my cooking in a while, haven’t you? My skills have improved recently. You should try them later,” Steven
said from the kitchen.
Even before tasting them, Skylar would’ve given them full marks just for its aroma. She exclaimed, “No matter what you make, I’m sure they’ll be delicious!”
Steven busied in the kitchen. When he heard that, his expression underwent a minuscule change. He recalled what Annie had told him in the afternoon. A somber demeanor took over his face.
Ten minutes later, Steven brought three more dishes out of the kitchen. Skylar hurried over to help. Now, there were six dishes in total on the table. It looked and smelled wonderful.
When Skylar arrived, she was still relatively full. Yet, looking at the food before her, she felt a pang of hunger.

Her family was the most important thing to her. She didn’t want her family to be hurt at all.
Both of them were in sync with each other. None of them spoke during dinner.
After dinner, Steven started, “Skye, you’re here to talk to me about Annie, right?”

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....
