Lying in bed, Skyler Robins looked up at the ceiling with a sense of despair. Christmas was approaching. Had Shirley Wilson already returned to her hometown to visit her parents?
Longing, once it took root, grew wildly and uncontrollably. He had suppressed his emotions for a long time, and now, unable to release them, he felt overwhelming anger.
Especially as the wedding date drew closer, his heart became more restless, driving him crazy to see Shirley Wilson.
He wanted to question that woman, why did she sleep with him in the first place and then abandon him after sweet words?
What did Wade Yoder have that he didn’t? Skyler Robins pondered and felt that in terms of looks, education, and background, he surpassed Wade Yoder by a mile. The only possibility could be…
Furrowing his brow, Skyler Robins involuntarily placed his hand on a certain spot. Could it be that he wasn’t as well-endowed as Wade Yoder? Or that he couldn’t perform as well?
“Young Master Skyler, are you having stomach pain?”
Seeing him frown and look uncomfortable, Qiao Yu, who was by his side, asked. Skyler Robins turned his head slightly and glanced at Qiao Yu. “When women look for partners, do they prefer someone well-endowed and skilled, or someone wealthy?”
Qiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, her face turning red as she looked at him, shyly stammering, “Why…why are you asking this?”
“Why waste words? I just want to know the answer!” Skyler Robins questioned coldly. Under the intense gaze of Skyler Robins, Qiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat. Swallowing nervously, she cautiously asked, “Do…do you want to hear the truth?”
Skyler Robins’ expression turned even colder. Even without saying a word, just his gaze alone frightened her to the core.
After hesitating for a while, she deliberately spoke unclearly, “Of course…of course, we like both.”
“Which one do you like the most?” he pursued.
Originally, Qiao Yu thought Skyler Robins was teasing her, but seeing his serious and solemn expression, she felt that he wasn’t joking. So she answered truthfully, “If there are no feelings involved, of course, we prefer money. But if there are feelings, I think…it’s important to be skilled. After all, that…that aspect is a crucial bond in a stable marital relationship.”
Skyler Robins: “…”
Why did he ask?
Why did he foolishly ask such a question?
If in the previous moment he was only angry because of Shirley Wilson’s abandonment, now he felt an unprecedented sense of shame.
The anger grew like yeast, expanding and intensifying with the passage of time, making him increasingly restless.
He got up and paced back and forth in the hospital room. Qiao Yu, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but mutter, “Young Master Skyler, can you stop pacing? It’s making me dizzy.”
“Shut up!”
Skyler Robins glared at her, “Are you even daring to be insolent towards me?”
Qiao Yu pouted in grievance, “The hospital room is so small, and you’ve already paced fifty-three laps. Aren’t you dizzy?”
He really didn’t know what was wrong with him, starting to act all nervous early in the morning.
If Qiao Yu hadn’t mentioned it, Skyler Robins wouldn’t have realized that he had already paced so many laps.
After thinking it over, he finally picked up his phone and made a call, “Li Zi, find out the whereabouts of Shirley Wilson for me. I need the information as quickly as possible!”
“Alright, President Robins.”
The other party responded. From then on, Skyler Robins anxiously waited for news. Li Zi, who was usually very efficient, was taking a long time this time.
After two hours had passed, Skyler Robins couldn’t hold back and called to inquire, “What’s going on? Why can’t you find anything yet?”
“President Robins, I’m still doing my best to search. But so far, I haven’t found any information about Miss Wilson, even with Ben’s help.”
There was a hint of helplessness in the other person’s words.
Skyler Robins furrowed his brow, “What did you say? You can’t find anything?”
