My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul

Skylar broke out in laughter. “It’s tomato soup with croutons.”

Judging from Joe’s reaction, he probably hadn’t had such a simple meal before. Then again, that made

sense since people would cook and offer Joe all of the delicacies in the world if he wanted to eat.

“Croutons?” Joe wondered out loud as he set his bowl on the dining table.

He hadn’t tried it yet because the soup was still hot. Plus, he was picky with food and somewhat reluctant to put such mushy food into his mouth.

Meanwhile, Skylar ate spoonfuls after spoonfuls of it. The simple ingredients didn’t stop the soup from tasting good.

Joe eventually picked up his spoon after seeing Skylar eat several mouthfuls in a row. With a reluctant frown, he took the tiniest sip. Then, he ate another spoonful and another.

It wasn’t long before he headed to the kitchen and came out with another bowl of soup. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Skylar had always had a small appetite. So, she felt full after one bowl. She got up to grab her bag and take out the jewelry box with the ring Gloria had given her at the hospital earlier.

While placing it before Joe, she said, “You should hold on to it.”

Although the ring was so gorgeous that she wanted to keep it, she knew it didn’t belong to her. It was meant for the woman Joe would make his actual wife.

Joe looked at the jewelry box Skylar handed him. Suddenly, he pictured the scene when she’d worn the ring earlier.

He thought that Skylar’s hand was a rare and beautiful sight because it resembled a sculpture.

She had slender, yet barely wrinkled, fingers. Skylar kept her nails trimmed in a simple shape without a manicure, but it made her nails seem pretty and clean.

Joe felt that Skylar seemed to be the only person worthy of wearing that ring.

“Grandma gave it to you as a gift. It’s yours,” he stated,

“It’s too much. Grandma only gave it to me because she thinks we’re actually married. The person she wants to give this ring to is her real granddaughter–in–law, not me.”

Skylar felt her willpower had increased since she could now refuse a 100–million–dollar ring.

Joe looked up at Skylar. “Grandma intended it for you. She wouldn’t have given it to anyone else, so keep

it.”

“Alright, I’ll keep it for now.” Skylar kept the ring since Joe had said so. She figured she could return it someday when he regretted his decision.

Early the next day, Skylar rushed to the hospital.

She left at 6:00 am when Joe was unlikely to be awake. So, she texted him that she’d be heading out.

There were few people at the hospital when she arrived at 7:00 am. Then again, it was a private hospital, so it wasn’t usually crowded with patients anyway.

Gloria was eating breakfast when Skylar made it to the hospital. Her complexion had improved significantly compared to the night before.

Skylar chatted with Gloria for around an hour before leaving the hospital and heading toward the antique street. While she was on the way there, Joe replied to her text with one word: “Noted.”

She didn’t pay it much mind.

When she was about to arrive at the antique street, she received a call from Charles.

He asked, “Skye, have you seen what Christopher posted on his social media account?”

“I’m currently driving and can’t look at my phone. What is it, Charles?”

Charles was so upset that he clenched his jaw. “I’m livid! I thought Steven said you broke Christopher. Does Christopher have a death wish?

“I would’ve marched up to teach him a lesson if I didn’t need to fill in for the male lead for a few scenes today!”

“Don’t waste your energy on a jerk,” Skylar commented. “Let me pull over somewhere and see what he posted.”
