Chapter 371 It was as though there was something magnetic in the alt, making him unable to look away When Skylar looked over, Joe had grabbed a cigarette and was about to light it. Their gazes met, and Joe tell his heart stutter.

T be done soon, Skylar said, thinking Joe was getting impatient.

Joe's gaze never wavered from her as he let out a soft hum in response. Tightening his grip on the cigarette, he left the villa.

He left the door open as he took a deep drag of his cigarette. As the smoke wafted before his eyes, he gradually managed to suppress the emotions roiling in his heart.

John had initially freed up his tfor Joe and Jeremy. They hadn't had a good get-together for a while now. So, he wanted to spend squality twith his buddies.

Alas, they promptly abandoned him after bumping into Skylar and Natalie. He clicked his tongue in annoyance. He had no choice but to go hnow.

Although he was already engaged, he didn't have anything in common with his fiancée.

When he arrived home, he was just in tto see Alexander returning hwith the limping Caleb in tow. "Didn't you say you won't be hfor dinner?" Alexander shot a look at John.

John answered, "I had an appointment with Joe and the others. Sadly, they were busy and had to leave." Then, he glanced at Caleb. "Why are you with him?" "He'll be coming withto work from now on. He said he wanted to be Skylar's assistant. People have been badgeringjust to get to her these past two days. It'll be nice to have someone in my corner," Alexander said.

Caleb straightened his spine and said, "Uncle John, I've got lots of redeeming qualities. For one, I'm hard- working. I've already decided I'll be studying under Skylar." He refused to believe he would fail to gain sknowledge if he remained in her presence.

"Dad, I don't think he's being serious when he said he'll becSkylar's assistant. Frankly, pigs will start flying before Skylar gives him a shot," John said bluntly. He had seen just how deeply Joe cared for Skylar. Sure, he had seen how scared Jeremy had becat the thought that Natalie would find out about his affair with Annabelle. Hence, it made sense why he rushed home. He wanted to get back into Natalie's good graces.

Meanwhile, there was only one reason why Joe would rush home. That was because he had unknowingly fallen for Skylar.

There was no way Joe would tolerate someone else eyeing someone he loved.

Alexander sized Caleb up before saying. He doesnt think of her that way, Skylars brilliant. She il found him out with just a look. Then, he'll lose a golden opportunity when she gets rid of him.” Im not aiming to be her lover, Still, it'll be okay if we stay as good friends, right? Uncle John, you'd better give your brain a good wash. Stop looking at things with those sorts of lenses," Caleb said.

He merely received a look from John for his efforts. Was he being looked down on? He was still young. He could afford to wait! He would give them his blessing if her partner treated her well. Of course, he would snatch the spot as her boyfriend if her partner was abysmal.

In any case, he wasn't about to blab his true thoughts to anyone.

No one had to know.

John arched an eyebrow. "Is that so?" "I'm not that petty. Why can't it be so?" Caleb let out a derisive snort.

Alexander abruptly shifted the conversation to John. "If you're free, you should visit Melody. You're about to get married. Why are you loafing about at home?" If only John could give him a granddaughter who was as talented and smart... Well, he would be praising God till the end of his days.

John had no idea he would be dragged into this mess. So, he immediately sauntered off. "I'm leaving. I have a date with Melody, a dinner date."

He would rather party the night away than listen to his father nagging at se hagging at him. If he stayed a second longer, he swore Alexander would start nagging him about children.

Kenny was scrolling through Whatin the hospital, checking to see whether Skylar had texted hint back. Although he already knew what to expect, he was still uncomfortable.

Did she forget that he was her brother? How could she ignore him like that? He refused to believe that she didn't see his message.

Just then, two equally gloomy faces appeared in his ward. They were none other than Samuel and Peter.
