Chapter 1252 Let's Get Along
"I'm scared here without Roni by my side. I can only rely on you. What should I do?" Shirley complained.
Hearing her words, Skyler felt both distressed and happy. He reached out and touched her cheek. "If I like you, I like you. Why worry so much? So what if I'm the young master of the Robins? I haven't spent a penny of my family's money since high school. My affairs are none of anyone's business. As for Sofia, I've told you many times that I won't marry her. She and I are in the past."
She shook her head. "You come from a prestigious family, and there are many things you don't understand. The concept of social status, whether in the past or now, is important." She bit her lip hesitantly. "Skyler, after tonight, we'll be even. I hope you can forget about today. Tomorrow, I'll find Roni and ask her to send me away from here."
When she first came to the hidden clan, she thought Veronica had something important to tell her. After tonight, however, she realized that she was unnecessary. Instead of causing trouble here, leaving early to save her some hassle would be better.
"Even?" Skyler grabbed Shirley's shoulders with big hands, anger flashing in his brown eyes. "What do you take me for, huh?"
His sudden fury scared her so much that her heart skipped a beat. She looked at him silently for a long time, the fear in her eyes about to overflow. At that, his heart softened, and his voice became gentle. "Do you think I'm just playing around?"
"Isn't that the case?" she retorted.
"D*mn it! Am I really that despicable?"
Shirley did not say anything, but her eyes had already revealed everything. Suppressing the urge to strangle her, Skyler restrained his emotions and said, "We can still spend one or two months together in the hidden clan. Why not try to get along? Maybe it's not as bad as you think."
"Try to get along?" she repeated his words, her eyes flickering with hesitation. It had to be said that she was utterly moved.
After her relationship in high school, she had not been in love for many years. When she saw Skyler, she was deeply attracted to this handsome and slightly mischievous man. He was unrestrained and casual, flamboyant and decadent, but he seemed to have his principles in everything he did. He was also a well-known medical genius in Bloomstead.
A man with such shining qualities made it hard for Shirley not to be moved.
"Yes, let's try to get along. If we're unsuitable, we can break up before returning to Bloomstead. By then, we'll still be friends, and no one will know. Can we do that?" Skyler softened his attitude and gently negotiated with her. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was excited and nervous, secretly praying that Shirley would agree to his request.
"Skyler."
"Hmm?"
Hearing her calling his name, he hummed before she continued, "I come from a humble background, graduated from an ordinary university, have no special talents, and I'm not like Roni, who is skilled and even a master hacker. I'm just an ordinary and mediocre person, even timid and stupid. Are you sure you can accept someone like me?"
Their mutual love had appeared long ago, but Shirley did not expect Skyler to confess this way. Her rationality told her to reject him, but his proposal of 'trying to get along' was too tempting, so she was deeply moved.
"Hahaha." He laughed heartily and lightly flicked her forehead with his hand. "I'm looking for someone I like, not a business partner. So, I accept your mediocrity, lack of intelligence, and timidity. Because I have everything."
