Chapter 665
Gloria sighed, feeling helpless. But considering what Edwin had done, Joe’s behavior was understandable.
Although she had been with the Martin family for many years, since her husband’s passing, the Martin family had gradually become fragmented. Each member had their own thoughts, and she could only adapt to the changes rather than influence them.
On the surface, everyone showed respect for her.
Gloria remembered what Viola had told her. She said that some things couldn’t be changed by one person’s efforts. Times and people would evolve.
When Edwin was young, he was quite good–natured. However, as he grew older and was influenced by those around him, he became distant from her.
His relationship with Gloria had deteriorated, especially after he married Molly some 20 years ago. Now that Edwin was meddling in Joe’s affairs, he was no different from the other family members.
“Just in time, I was craving an apple,” Gloria said. Despite her heavy heart, she quickly adjusted. At her age, she had to learn how to handle these negative emotions.
Skylar handed over the apple.
Although Gloria had been troubled, her mood lightened just by looking at Skylar. Her presence seemed to calm her chaotic feelings.
Joe noticed the change in Gloria’s mood. He subtly glanced at Skylar, who seemed to have a calming effect on people.
Being with her always brought a sense of calm, no matter what challenges were being faced. The present difficulties never seemed to confine or overwhelm.
Noticing Joe’s gaze, Skylar asked, “Would you like an apple too?”
Before Joe could respond, Gloria huffed, “Let him peel his own apple. Don’t spoil him, Skye.”
Joe had been looking much healthier lately. His complexion was rosy and lively. His condition had noticeably improved despite having had many things to deal with recently.
The credit definitely went to Skylar. Without her, Joe’s current state might have been quite different.
Joe’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “I’ll do it.”
Skylar handed him the knife.
Soon, Joe had peeled an apple but didn’t keep it for himself. Instead, he handed it to Skylar.
Seeing that scene, Gloria smiled and nodded approvingly. “Skye, you go ahead and eat first. The apples today are really good and sweet. Try them.”
“Sure,” Skylar responded. She was momentarily surprised by the warmth in Joe’s eyes as she took the apple.
Seeing the tender exchange between the two, Gloria and Edgar shared a knowing look.
Gloria was pleased: Joe seemed to understand how to show care for others, and it was clear that Skylar had a significant influence on him.
After leaving the hospital, Joe dropped Skylar off at work.

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....
