"Nonsense! I'm already over ninety pounds." Shirley shook her head as she placed another shrimp
dumpling on Skyler's plate. "You should eat more."
Skyler raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously. "Why? Are you worried that I won't have enough
strength?"
However, the innocent Shirley missed the underlying meaning in Skyler's words.
"No, I just want you to eat more."
"Oh, I see now. You are complaining that I haven't taken care of you properly."
"What? I..."
Suddenly, Shirley seemed to have realized something as her face turned red. "What are you talking
about?"
He was always a cheeky man. How could he talk about that so often?
"What's going on? I could hear the two of you talking from afar,"
Veronica asked after she entered the living room, holding hands with Iron since the door was left wide
open.
"Huh? Veronica and Iron?"
Shirley immediately stood up as she was delighted. "We've just started eating. Would you like to join
us?"
"What time is it now? Why are you only having breakfast at such a late hour?"
Then, Veronica glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 9:30 a.m.
"I..."
Shirley felt awkward, and she blushed. She couldn't help but think about what happened last night after
hearing Veronica, and her cheeks reddened even more.
"Oh? Did we miss something?"
Veronica tilted her head and glanced at Matthew when she sensed something fishy. They looked at
each other and shared a smile.
"Huh? Nothing, really."
Shirley shook her head. "I was too lazy to get out of bed earlier, so I woke up a bit late."
He pretended to believe her as he nodded. "Oh, I see. Why are you so nervous, Shirley? Roni was
asking you a simple question."
Although Shirley felt things seemed to have gone wrong, her reaction gave off a feeling of "Where
there's smoke, there's fire."
Skyler smiled helplessly and asked Matthew when Shirley blushed. "Why did you come so early?"
"Are you not welcoming me?"
Matthew's question held a deeper meaning.
"One Piece Restaurant is your property, and I'm just tagging along with Shirley. How could I not
welcome you?" Skyler glanced at Veronica and raised an eyebrow. "Am I right, Veronica?"
However, Matthew immediately slapped him as soon as he finished speaking. "Call her Roni!"
"Alright, alright. Fine. Roni. There you go."
Skyler had to submit to Matthew and change the way he addressed Veronica. Then, he shrugged.
"Won't I even get paid for changing how I address her?"
"I'll grant you a death benefit. Do you want it?" Matthew warned sternly.
"Wow, you're really aggressive, Matt." Skyler only shook his head. "Vero—Never mind. Roni, you need
to be careful as well. People like him tend to resort to violence. Let me know if he dares to lay a finger
on you. I'll call Caleb and Miguel to help you out."
Veronica couldn't help but laugh, and she sat across from him. "I can see that you two are in high
spirits. There must be something you didn't tell me."
She noticed Shirley and Skyler had been strangely exchanging glances since they had entered the
living room just a moment ago.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, Veronica? Sky and I really don't have anything going
on." Shirley's face turned red once again.
"Oh? Sky?" Veronica covered her mouth and chuckled. "Hehehe."
"Enough already!"
Skyler couldn't hold back anymore. He grabbed Shirley's hand and pulled her over to sit on his lap.
Then, he wrapped his arm around her neck and introduced, "Shirley is my girlfriend now. Please
continue to bless us in the future, Matt and Veronica."
"Skyler! Didn't we agree not to make it public for now?"
Shirley blushed as she scolded.
Skyler caught her off guard and playfully tapped her head. "You can give it up now. You pretty much
have the answer written on your face. Do you really think they wouldn't notice?"
