It wasn’t dark yet, but the restaurant was already full of people.
Skylar and Joe arrived first. Fortunately, they had reserved a table with the restaurant owner in advance. Otherwise, they would have had to wait in line.
The lively outdoor area was filled with the sound of people chatting.
After taking their seats, Skylar picked up the menu and ordered a lot of dishes that she and Steven liked.
Perhaps it was because she had taken a nap in the car, so she was energized now. She felt like she could eat all the dishes on the menu.
“Have a look and see what you want to eat,” Skylar said as she handed the menu to Joe.
Joe took the menu and saw the densely packed list of dishes. He ordered beef skewers and noodles according to his preference.
He wasn’t interested in other things. He had never been to a barbecue restaurant before. It wasn’t that he hadn’t wanted to, but rather that time hadn’t allowed it. He had also had no one to accompany him.
Now that he was here with Skylar, he actually didn’t know what to eat.
Skylar could guess as much. She pondered for a while and ordered some more dishes.
“I think these are some dishes you might like. You can give them a try,” she said.
Joe was also quite interested, so he replied, “Okay.”
Steven hadn’t been far away and came over soon. When he got there, he could see a man sitting with Skylar from where he was standing.
However, since he was still a bit far away and there were a lot of people, he couldn’t clearly see who it
was.
He just felt like the man was familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
But why had he come to eat in a place like this in a suit?
When Skylar had told Steven that they were eating at a barbeque restaurant, he had chosen to wear at loose T–shirt and casual shorts instead of dressing formally.
Now, compared to that man, he seemed to lack presence. It made him a little annoyed.
But wearing a suit didn’t necessarily mean having presence. He would find out soon enough whether Joe was good or bad.
When Steven got closer, he felt that the more he looked at Joe, the more familiar he seemed.
He really felt that he had seen Joe somewhere.
“Steven.” Skylar looked up and noticed that Steven had arrived.

Joe stood up with Skylar and greeted, “Hello.”
Looking at Joe up close was just like looking at him from a distance just now. He had a majestic air about him, something that didn’t seem fitting for someone so young.
In fact, now that Steven looked at him, he realized Joe was very handsome. It was the kind of appearance
that could confuse young women.
But some people were like beasts in human form. Even if they looked dignified, they could actually be very unimpressive.
Steven scrutinized Joe, trying to see through him from the inside out with just one glance. Unfortunately, Joe was very mysterious.
As Steven observed Joe, he became even more certain that he had seen Joe somewhere before.
“I’m Skye’s brother, Steven.” Steven introduced himself to Joe.
Joe replied, “I’m Skye’s husband, Joe Martin.”
Skylar watched the two introduce themselves very formally. For a moment, she didn’t dare to interrupt.
She had never seen Steven look at someone so sharply, as if he had knives in his eyes and he wanted to cut open Joe to see whether he was a good person or not.
On second thought, she realized Steven must have become protective after how things had turned out between her and Christopher.
At the thought of this possibility, she felt incredibly sorry for her family and the people who cared about
her.
She had really been blinded by love before.
“Joe Martin?” Steven frowned.
That name..
“What do you do?” Steven asked.
Joe replied earnestly, “I’m the CEO of Martin Group, Steven’s eyes widened at the revelation.
