Shirley Wilson was caught off guard and collided with him. She paused for a moment, quickly pushed Skyler Robins away, and took a step back. “Hello… um… it’s been a while.”
Skyler Robins clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and through gritted teeth, he forced out each word, “It’s been a while?”
Each word seemed to be squeezed out. He really wanted to crack open Shirley Wilson’s head and see what was inside.
“Yeah, it has been a while. We haven’t seen each other for a long time,” Shirley Wilson forced a laugh, but her smile was more unpleasant than crying.
“So, after all this time, why didn’t you contact me??” he asked sharply, staring down at Shirley Wilson, stepping closer and raising his voice, “Huh?”
Skyler Robins took a step closer, and she took a step back, trembling with fear.
“Well, you know, I heard that you’re going to marry Sofia Green, so… I didn’t want to disturb you,” Shirley Wilson said with a smile that was more unpleasant than crying, going against her true feelings.
Even though it was winter, and the biting cold wind blew, Shirley Wilson felt sweat trickling down her spine. She was so nervous that her heart was racing, almost jumping out of her throat. She swore that she had never been this nervous in her entire life.
“Didn’t want to disturb me?”
Skyler Robins muttered a few words. Shirley Wilson nodded vigorously, but raised her hand to pull her scarf tighter around her neck, covering half of her face, as if she wanted to bury her entire face in the scarf. “Yes, yes. People who are about to get married should indeed keep their distance… ah…!”
Because he was getting closer and closer, Shirley Wilson had been slowly retreating. Her heels reached the green belt, and her body lost balance, causing her to fall backwards. She screamed and instinctively reached out to hold her stomach, using her other hand to support herself on the ground.
This time, Skyler Robins did not reach out to help her. He just watched her fall to the ground in a sorry state.
Fortunately, Shirley Wilson was prepared and didn’t hurt herself, but she sat there in a sorry state, looking up at Skyler Robins. “Why are you getting so close to me?”
Worried about her unborn child, Shirley Wilson’s voice involuntarily became louder, and she glared at him with anger, furrowing her brows.
“This is too close?”
Skyler Robins reached out and tugged at his collar, looking down at Shirley Wilson from a superior position. “When Wade Yoder put a scarf on you, you two were practically getting intimate, and I didn’t hear a word from you,” he said, his eyes deep like Matt’s pond, filled with a sense of disappointment. “Besides, you’ve slept with me before, so pretending to be high and mighty now, don’t you think it’s a bit late?”
This woman, wanting to keep her distance from him after being with Wade Yoder?
He could sense the disgust on her face. Skyler Robins felt an invisible blow to his heart, causing him to feel defeated and even doubting himself. Did he really not notice her hatred towards him?
Faced with the menacing Skyler Robins, Shirley Wilson’s mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to react. The contrast in his behavior was completely unexpected. But she could clearly feel the hatred emanating from Skyler Robins.
It was her initial betrayal, choosing to leave Bloomstead, that made Shirley Wilson feel guilty and lacking in confidence.
She lowered her gaze, propped herself up on the cold ground, and patted the stains on her white down jacket. “As a woman who plays both sides, you shouldn’t appear in front of me again.”
When she left Bloomstead, she collaborated with Sofia Green to record videos, and those videos had long been seen by Skyler Robins.
So in Skyler Robins’ eyes, she was not only disloyal but also a woman who lacked self- respect. Skyler Robins suddenly froze, his gaze becoming unfamiliar.
