Chapter 598
Skylar couldn’t get a read on Joe. She did not hide her true thoughts and said honestly, “I’m a bit curious. However, I respect your privacy.”
He asked as though he would tell her his thoughts the second she interrogated him over it.
In Skylar’s opinion, he wasn’t that easy to deal with.
Joe’s furrowed eyebrows relaxed, “So you were curious.”
Curiosity meant that she cared.
“So?” Skylar waited for an answer.
“I’ve kept to my promise. She has graduated from university and
should be able to fend for herself. She’s nothing more than a responsibility to me.”
He was completely honest with Skylar. No other women could attract his attention. Dozens of naked women had stood before him. He felt nothing for every single one of them.
Skylar felt like a weight on her chest had been lifted. Her heart. seemed to start beating once more. She smiled. Galaxies shimmered
in her eyes.
“Aren’t you going to keep calling me Mr. Martin?”
Her repeated mentions of “Mr. Martin” made fury rise within him.
Those words had never seemed harsher.
“Do you like me calling you ‘Mr. Martin‘?” Skylar immediately changed. Her eyes glinted cheekily like a mischievous fox.
Joe’s throat tickled from her flirting. His gaze darkened.
“Call me darling,” Joe said. He dragged her into his embrace.
Skylar’s heart pounded. They were too close. She could hear his
heartbeat.
“Alright, darling. I’ll call you ‘darling‘ no matter where I go.”
She guaranteed she could call him that until he grew annoyed at her. If he weren’t scared of letting their secret marriage be known to the public, she wouldn’t be afraid either.
Joe’s gaze darkened further. His gaze fell, and he whispered into her ear, “If you call me darling whenever we’re in bed, I’ll give you anything you want.”
Skylar’s heart quickened. They were in a car!

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....
