Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1229 What Do You Mean?

"Your talking never stops, even when you're eating."

It seemed that there was indeed something important today that required Mateo to accompany Crayson. Master Crayson's attitude was steadfast.

The group lapsed into a hushed mealtime, quietly savoring their breakfast.

After breakfast, Veronica tidied up briefly before setting out with Matthew.

Having worked as a chef at Mountainside Gardens for nearly a month, Matthew had become acquainted with Master Crayson, who had arranged an off-road vehicle for him.

It was convenient for buying groceries and for taking Veronica out.

Due to the terrain, the hidden clan had many mountain roads, so off-road vehicles were more popular and sold well.

The two sat in the car and drove to One Piece Restaurant.

Upstairs at One Piece Restaurant, Shirley and Skyler sat in a room having breakfast together.

Shirley felt highly embarrassed about what happened last night, so she quietly returned to her room at dawn.

She was naturally timid and afraid of the dark, especially in the hidden clan where the architectural design gave a sense of mystery. As soon as it got dark, she felt scared.

She held the bowl of pudding in her hands, drinking it while thinking of something. Then she put down the spoon and looked up at Skyler. "Could you… please not mention what happened yesterday to Ron?"

Skyler, engrossed in his omelet, looked surprised. "What do you mean?"

"I mean… what I did in your room… can you keep it from Ron?"

If Veronica found out about her middle-of-the-night visit to Skyler's room, she would definitely scold her for being imprudent. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Skyler, who had been confused at first, suddenly understood. A mischievous glint appeared in his brown eyes. "What happened yesterday? Are you referring to when you hugged me at my room's door?"

Shirley blushed deeply at Skyler's teasing. She lowered her gaze, focusing on her pudding.

"No, not that. I mean… when I slept in your room."

She stammered, wishing she could just disappear into the ground as she spoke.

If only she had known earlier, she would never have come to the hidden clan with Skyler.

"Alright, I won't bring it up."

Seeing her blushing face, Skyler smiled and stopped teasing her.

Shirley's shyness added to her overall charm.

It was hard to imagine what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of Garrick, the cunning old fox. He would surely take advantage of her innocence.

At the thought of this, Skyler's face darkened inexplicably as his mind involuntarily conjured inappropriate scenes. "You're quite naive. I wonder how you managed to grow up this way."

"I..."

Knock, knock—

Shirley was about to retort, but a knocking sound came from the living room.

She quickly got up and opened the door, smiling at the two people standing there. "Ron, Pre… Iron, good morning."

She had almost slipped and called him "President Kings," but she changed her words to protect Matthew's identity.

Veronica smiled with satisfaction and had a sense of "the student can be taught" in her eyes.

"Good morning."

She walked in and asked concernedly, "How did you rest last night? Are you getting used to it?"

"We... We're getting used to it very well."

Shirley nodded, forced a smile, and fidgeted with her hands.

Skyler also stood up to greet them. "Good morning. Have you had breakfast? Would you like some more? Matt, I have to say, the chefs at One Piece Restaurant are really skilled. The taste is on par with Bloomstead."

As he spoke, Matthew walked in from outside.

Seeing Matthew in a loose black and white striped t-shirt and loose pants, with his tanned skin and that mole on his face, Skyler couldn't help but burst into laughter.
