Chapter 844 Just an Accident
“Matt, please do me this favor and leave Xavier alone. Can you?” Veronica didn’t want the two men to
fight each other because if that happened, she didn’t know whose side she should take.
“You want me to leave Xavier alone?” Matthew repeated Veronica’s words, a painful expression
flashing across his face. As the two of them exchanged gazes, the man pursed his lips and smirked
sarcastically. “So, you really care about him, don’t you?”
Meeting Matthew’s distant gaze, Veronica guiltily looked away as she struggled to summon the
courage to look him in the eye. When Matthew didn’t receive an answer from Veronica a few moments
later, he assumed that her silence was a yes. Thus, his face turned cold and darkened just when he
shook off Veronica’s left hand that was seizing his wrist.
However, the lady, whose right hand was also holding Matthew’s other wrist, didn’t release her grip until
the man forcefully shook her hand off. As soon as he turned around and walked away, Veronica grew
even more anxious and begged with a high-pitched voice. “Please, Matt! Please do me this favor!”
At that moment, Matthew, who just took a step out of the door, paused in his tracks and stood in place
for a while, radiating a cold aura. At the same time, he was seen clenching his fists tightly, indicating
just how mad he was. After the stalemate went on for a few moments, Matthew finally took a step
forward and walked away, leaving Veronica behind in a trance.
On the other hand, Shirley was playing some computer games to kill boredom when Skyler returned to
his room downstairs. Upon hearing the noise, she quickly came out of her study and smiled at Skyler.
“Welcome home.”
Skyler scanned his surroundings in the living room and realized every single light was on, as well as
the noisy audio from the computer. Therefore, he was instantly able to tell that Shirley had a hard time
adjusting to her life with the hidden clan, believing she was afraid of the dark when the night set in.
“Were you waiting for me?” For some reason, Skyler had a strange feeling that Shirley was waiting for
him, just like a wife waiting for her husband. Ah, this would be so good. I guess it was the right choice
to bring her to the hidden clan.
“What?” Shirley was stunned, trying to figure out the meaning behind Skyler’s question. Wait a minute!
Something’s off. It’s as if he is trying to imply something ‘ambiguous’. Despite the thought of that, she
shook her head and replied, “Nah. I was just playing some games to kill boredom, but now that you’re
back, I figured we could play together.”
“Oh, really?” Skyler smiled mischievously, yet his playfulness was precisely what was capable of
stealing someone’s heart.
“Yes, of course. Our company is in the video game industry, so I’m merely using my time to learn a
thing or two in the hope that it’s going to help me at work.” Shirley came up with a convincing excuse to
invite Skyler to join her.
“Sure, let’s play some games then.” Skyler took a step forward and caressed Shirley’s head, wrapping
his arm around her neck while heading toward the study.
Uncomfortable with the intimate interaction, Shirley shook off Skyler’s arm and said, “Mr. Robins,
please remember your place. Don’t forget—you have a fiancée.”
At that moment, the smile on Skyler’s face stiffened just as he glared at Shirley. “Remember my place?
Have you forgotten about the time you tried to bed me when you crept into my bed the first time? Then,
you sneaked into my room last night in an attempt to spend the night with me. Why didn’t you remind
yourself of your own place when you did all those things?” How ungrateful! Doesn’t she have a heart?
This is unforgivable.
“I… I…” Shirley’s face blushed as she pursed her lips. “It’s like I’ve always told you. What happened
the other day was simply an accident.” Ugh! I’m going to have a hard time living this down. Although
she couldn’t lie to herself about her feelings for Skyler, the unequal status between the two of them
made it seem impossible for them to be together, in her opinion. Furthermore, Shirley had not forgotten
about Skyler’s fiancée—Sofia.
Shirley was in a terrible mood that day, which was why she tried to drown her sorrows with alcohol but
ended up getting drunk by the time she got home. Wanting to confirm whether she had driven Skyler
away, she opened his bedroom door, only to realize he was still there.
As her rational mind succumbed to the alcoholic influence, she swung her fist across the air and
punched Skyler’s face. She was motivated by her desire to avenge herself for the humiliation she had
suffered earlier that day when Sofia slapped her at First Meeting.
