Chapter 605 He’s Back
“I think Miss Wilson is adorable and smart. Do you have an opinion of her, Young Master Skyler?” Wade took a glimpse at Shirley.
Without looking at her, Skyler raised his gaze languidly. “She’s lazy and doesn’t do the house chores.”
Shirley was utterly speechless and his behavior was confusing her.
What is he doing? He’s ruining my blind date! Does he have feelings for me? Even if that’s true, the difference in our status is too huge for us to stay together until the end.
Then, she thought of Veronica and Matthew, who were not of the same world.
No, no, no. How can I compare myself with Roni? She’s good at fighting, owns a company, has a double degree, and she’s Old Mrs. Kings’ god-granddaughter! We’re different.
After a moment of hesitation, she protested, “Skyler Robins, what are you talking about? I’m not that bad. Wade, don’t listen to him.”
The fact that she raised her voice caused a frown on Skyler’s forehead. “Do you like him?”
Her hands on her knees formed into tight fists. As her heart was beating profusely, she nodded firmly. “Yes. I think Wade is not bad. If he feels the same, I wanna give it a shot.”
Next, she looked at Wade bravely. “Wade, what do you think?”
“Me?” The sudden question caught him off guard as he alternated his gaze between the two before nodding. “Yeah. I think… it wouldn’t be bad to try it out.”
“Great. Let’s exchange our numbers.”
“Sure.”
Therefore, Skyler sat right there and watched Shirley taking the initiative to approach Wade as her potential partner. Finally, the two of them exchanged their contact numbers.
At that very second, the smile on his face disappeared and a channel of rage shot up into his head for unknown reasons.
He was livid.
He was exasperated.
Still, he did not utter a word and walked away instead. She did not spare him a glance, but Wade saw Skyler talking to the foreigner for a moment before they left together.
While saving her contact number, Wade said, “I know that you were trying to make him angry. He’s gone now. You—”
“No. I really wanna give it a shot with you.”
She did get into a relationship at a teen age, which jeopardized her studies in the end. She was given a lecture too when her family found out about it. After that one time, she stayed single as of today. Love had always been something sacred to her.
However, Skyler was nothing but a bypasser in her life and her rationality was telling her that he would never be her life partner. Thus, it would be better to end things clearly instead of having other ideas.
“Are you sure about this?” Wade was not convinced.
“Yes, I am.” She nodded with pursed lips before giving it a thought. “How about a movie date right now? It’s on me. We can call Roni over later to have dinner together.”
“Sounds like a plan to me.”
…
In the afternoon, Veronica was resting at the hospital when her phone rang. Shirley informed her of the successful date and invited her for dinner. The moment she put down her phone, Matthew rang her up.
“Matt?”
They hardly contacted each other after he went abroad these days. It was his birthday a few days ago; she wished him ‘happy birthday’ early in the morning through a phone call since she could not give him any present.
Other than that, she did not phone him because she did not wish to bother him.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Me? I’m bored. I was going to sleep.”
“There’s a parcel for you. I asked someone to put it in front of the door,” he announced.
“What is it? Why is it in front of the door?”
The way he behaved mysteriously piqued her interest.
