My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Joe said, "I just got off the plane. I'll head out right away."

Joe's seemingly casual tone indicated that he was eager to see her as soon as possible.

Skylar smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Half an hour later, Joe appeared, unmistakable with his tall figure and commanding presence. He waved at Skylar.

Skylar waved back.

Some people say that newlyweds often have this kind of feeling. Honestly, it really felt that way.

After walking a short distance, Paul appeared behind him, pushing a trolley with luggage. Joe, with his long legs, quickly covered the distance and was in front of Skylar in just a few steps.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled her into an embrace.

"You've lost weight," he said, resting his chin on her head.

Skylar stifled a laugh. "You've only been gone for less than five days. How could I have lost weight?"

She didn't weigh herself daily but could tell whether she had gained or lost weight by how her clothes fit.

"I've lost weight. Can you feel it?" Joe's voice had a slightly playful tone, as if he was a little disappointed.

He knew Skylar was surrounded by family, friends, and kind colleagues. So even if he wasn't around, they would take good care of her. Unlike him, who found little pleasure in food while on business trips.

Skylar smiled and comforted him. "Let's go home and see how many pounds you've lost. We'll get them all back, but our Mr. Martin looks even more handsome now."

While they were talking, Elsie quickly stepped out from behind Paul. After stepping out, Elsie kept looking around, searching for Joe.noveldrama

On the plane, he had mentioned that she should talk to Skylar about the emerald pendant once they landed, and he was probably waiting for her.

However, he had just left when they were retrieving the luggage, leaving Paul behind to collect it. Fortunately, the luggage came out quickly, and she could leave right after collecting

it.

When she stepped outside and saw the scene before her, she froze. Her mind seemed to freeze, completely unable to process what was happening.

The Joe she had seen a few times before, always so indifferent to

others, was now holding Skylar in a tight embrace. Their hug was casual yet intimate, so completely different from how he was with anyone else.

It was the kind of closeness that anyone could sense, the kind that radiated genuine affection. Before, she had only seen their relationship through news reports and online posts.

But those accounts had always been one-sided, and she had never bothered to learn more about them. Now, seeing them embrace in person, the shock was overwhelming.

Especially considering how Joe had spoken to her earlier. He had been short, distant, not even sparing her a second glance.

Yet, with Skylar, his stern features softened, his lips curling into a warm and unmistakable smile.

Moreover, Skylar was even more beautiful in person than in her photos. She was far more stunning than Elsie herself. She felt an intense blow to her pride.

"Didn't you want to ask Mrs. Martin about the emerald pendant?" Paul suddenly stopped and turned to Elsie.

Elsie felt a sudden urge to back out. But then, she recalled what Alban had said. She had no way out.

She was still young, yet no other path was available to her. At that moment, she longed to be Skylar, to be protected by Joe's embrace.

Her eyes welled up, and she nodded softly. "Yes, I need to trouble Mrs. Martin."
