The large villa definitely had alcohol.

“Yeah, I’ll get it.” Skylar got up and headed for the wine cabinet, which was well–stocked with

various wines.

There had been something weighing on her mind all day, so she figured a drink might help ease the tension.

Without realizing it, Skylar and Charles ended up finishing two bottles. As he drank, Charles kept saying, “This is good stuff. It’s been a while since I’ve had wine this nice.”

Skylar’s tolerance for alcohol had improved a bit, but she still got a bit hazy after drinking. On the other hand, Charles was much more used to it.

His work often required him to drink, and his tolerance had grown significantly. Now, even after all this alcohol, he remained sharp.

He noticed something off about Skylar and decided to pry. “Skye, you seem a bit off today. Is something bothering you? Come on, we’re siblings. Why not share it with me? There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.”

Charles was an expert at getting people to open up over drinks. It was one of his best skills.

Skylar fell silent for a moment. Her eyes started to well up with tears. “I’m afraid something’s really happened to Joe.”

They had found Paul, but still no news about Joe. Deep down, she was starting to

Charles, immediately understood. Skylar must have heard something today—perhaps some

bad news.

He had originally thought Skylar was rushing back to Murida because there was solid information about Joe. But now it seemed…

Skylar’s love life was more complicated than any of the TV shows or movies he had starred in. He felt sorry for her.

“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, we’ll face it together as a family. Besides, we still don’t know if anything has really happened to Joe. Either way, we’ll get to the bottom of it, right? Alive or… well, you know what I mean,” Charles said.

After Charles finished speaking, he immediately felt a bit regretful. He had probably had too much to drink tonight and didn’t think before blurting out something as blunt as, “Alive or…‘

Skylar absentmindedly nodded. “Yeah. I’ve been through so much, seen so many things…

But the pain in her heart was real.

“Exactly! We Sullivans are great at facing things head–on. If there’s something to deal with, we deal with it; if there isn’t, it’s even better. Don’t worry, Skye. I’ve got a strong feeling that fate won’t be that cruel to you,” Charles said with confidence.

He did have a gut feeling about it. Over the past three years, whenever Charles filmed scenes involving miraculous resurrections or people coming back from the brink of death, he couldn’t help but think of Joe.

Maybe Joe would come back like that. It sounded crazy sometimes. But to him, it made sense. It was almost as if it was bound to happen.

“Yeah, I feel the same way. I don’t think fate would be that cruel.” Skylar nodded softly.

But her fear lingered. She feared that while fate had granted her a second chance, it had taken away Joe’s opportunity to live.

In the haze of it all, she felt like she was drifting into another dream. In this dream, Joe was there, waiting for her just as he always had.

Charles noticed Skylar’s sadness and decided not to disturb her.

Just then, his phone rang.

“Isn’t today supposed to be a day off? What? You heard my sister’s back and want her to help authenticate something? Hmm… tell Mr. Kain to hold on.

“Let me check with her. She’s heading back to Murida in a couple of days, so I’m not sure if

she’ll have time.”

After hanging up, Charles turned to Skylar and explained the situation. She was now sitting on. the couch, her mind slightly dulled by the alcohol but still alert enough to catch what he was

saying.

“I rescheduled my flight for the day after tomorrow. I’ll have time tomorrow,” she replied.

“Great, I’ll let them know,” Charles said.

“Okay.”

With that, Skylar had another task lined up for the next day.

Charles added, “Since we’re both going to the set tomorrow, I might as well stay over at your place tonight. Saves me the hassle of running back and forth.”

Skylar didn’t mind. Galaxy Villa had plenty of guest rooms for Charles to pick from.

“When I was on the phone, I heard your phone buzzing with notifications. You might want to check your messages on WhatsApp,” Charles said..
