Chapter 64
Joe was speechless.
In the end, he could only say, “I’ll ask her. If she’s also occupied, we’ll go next week.”
“Yes, go ahead and ask her. She seems to be having a lot on her mind lately. She needs to relax. As her husband, you need to care more for her. Do you understand 7 Gloria reminded him, her tone filled with
worry.
“Okay.”
After ending the call with Gloria, Joe first went to check the news about Skylar on the Internet.
Once he ascertained that there were no flaws with Paul’s execution, he called Skylar.
The line was busy. Joe put his phone down.
A few minutes later, Skylar called him back.
“Did you just call me, Mr. Martin?”
“Grandma is meeting a few friends at the hospital today. She arranged for us to go to the hot springs. I’ll pick you up if you’re free tonight,” Joe replied in his naturally cold voice.
Skylar was able to hear a hint of reluctance in his voice. She was sure that Gloria was the one who forced him to ask her out.
Going to the hot springs was usually reserved for going with one’s best friends or intimate partner. It was no wonder that Joe was reluctant.
“Someone just asked me out earlier. I’ve already agreed to meet him. I’m sorry,” Skylar replied.
That was a fact. She happened to be on the phone with Steven when Joe called her earlier.
He asked her out for dinner that night, saying they hadn’t caught up in a long time. Plus, Christopher and Maisy’s issue had already come to an end.

Maisy and the rest of the Williams family wouldn’t be able to do anything funny after all the been presented. So, he suggested that they meet up and have a chat.
Joe listened to Skylar’s reason for turning him down over the phone. He frowned and said, “Okay. I’ll let Grandma know.”
“Thank you, Mr. Martin.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Skylar hung up. Joe lowered his head and looked at his phone. The look in his eyes intensified.
She didn’t want to go to the hot springs with him?
Deep down, a sudden feeling of gloom came over him.
He tugged at his necktie and threw his phone aside. He then picked up a proposal from a pled documents beside him and looked through it.
He didn’t have to go to the hot springs and waste his time. This was exactly the outcome that he wantes
The Williams family was in chaos. Jeffrey and Peter wererit around. Only Kenny and Samuel had gone

They held their phones in their hands as they questioned Maisy.

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....
