Chapter 704
Skylar’s face turned beet red. Mortified, she glared at Joe. “You just kissed me without considering our surroundings?”
Joe’s gaze remained cold, though a hint of desire colored his deep, husky voice. “You’re my wife. We can kiss wherever we like; it’s legal.”
His words left Skylar speechless, yet she couldn’t argue with his reasoning. Regardless, she couldn’t help but wonder if he was oblivious to her potential misunderstanding. She might interpret his frequent kisses as a lack of control over his feelings for her.

As Natalie exited the hospital, Kate called.
“Nath, come home for a visit.”
“What’s up, Mom?”
Kate sighed. “You and Jeremy have been through a lot. Your father really wants to see you. He won’t be at ease until he does.”
Natalie knew she couldn’t avoid it. “Okay, I don’t have anything pressing today. I’ll head home now.”
What was meant to come would come. There was no avoiding it.
Soon, Natalie arrived at the Jakeman residence. She hadn’t been back since her troubles with Jeremy began, and she had only shared her troubles with Kate.
Damon answered the door with a surprised look. “You’re back?”
“Yes!” Natalie slipped into her house slippers.
Damon had always been indulgent with her, rarely scolding her even when she was at fault. It was Kate who usually handled the reprimanding.
Given recent events, Damon hadn’t called. It wasn’t a lack of care but rather an uncertainty about how to comfort her.

When her heart ached, Damon’s heart ached just the same.
They usually had much to talk about, but now they were unusually quiet.
After they sat down, Kate peeked her out from the kitchen. “You two go ahead and watch TV. I just need to finish up a couple of dishes.”
“Okay,” they respond in unison.

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....
