"Okay," Jenny agreed hurriedly.
When Jenny stayed back, Rowan also decided to follow in her footsteps.
Skylar felt mildly regretful. She should've come in the afternoon.
Skylar discreetly glanced at Joe. There were no emotions on his face. Her sixth sense began firing. She knew Jenny liked Joe. However, she didn't know how Joe felt about her.
Skylar pondered as she ate.
Gloria wasn't in the prime of her health. She went for a nap after lunch.
As they were leaving, Jenny stared at Joe longingly in front of Pearlhall Residence.
"Joe."
Rowan suddenly said to Skylar, "Skylar, I've got something to ask you. Is this a good time?"
Skylar was unfazed. She replied, "Sure."
Rowan pulled his phone out. There were a few photos of antiques. He asked, "Take a look at these antiques for me. Should I add them to my collection? Are they worth collecting?"
Skylar knew that Rowan was trying to give Joe and Jenny a chance to speak privately. Asking her whether there was any value in those antiques was merely an excuse.
However, she always treated antiques seriously. She observed them thoroughly and missed out on what Joe and Jenny were talking about.
When she was done looking, the two of them had finished their chat as well.
As she left with Joe, Skylar saw that Jenny's eyes were filled with tears. Had she been crying?
They watched Rowan and Jenny leave before getting into their own car.
