Shirley would certainly like to cherish Skyler, but would Skyler be with her?

Would the Robins Family accept me?

Bang! Clank clank-

Shirley was lost in thought with her phone in her hands when she heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen.

Although she was startled, she still got up quickly and rushed to the kitchen. When she reached the kitchen, she saw...

In the kitchen, Skyler stood in front of the stove. There was a frying pan by his toes, and on the floor were broken eggs, soft noodles, and water stains, all still steaming hot.

Shirley looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Hehehe..."

Skyler smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. "I'm fine. It's just that I accidentally knocked over the pan."

"What breakfast were you trying to make?"

Shirley walked over and squatted down to clean up the mess in the frying pan while asking Skyler in confusion.

Skyler replied honestly, "I wanted to cook a bowl of egg noodles for you, but when I was cracking the egg on the edge of the frying pan, I used too much strength and accidentally knocked the pan over."

"Cracking eggs?"

Shirley frowned and stared at Skyler Robins in disbelief.

They locked eyes, and Skyler didn't know why Shirley was staring at him.

Then, she covered her mouth and smiled. "Did you put the noodles and eggs in as soon as the water got hot?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Isn't it normal to put noodles in when the water is hot? Could it be that my method is wrong?

"Poof... No, that's not a problem."

Shirley restrained her smile and shook her head, then she continued to squat down to clean up the mess on the floor.

However, Skyler grabbed her arm and pulled her up. He asked her with a long face, "Are you making fun of me?"

Shirley felt speechless.

Is it that obvious?

"No, I wasn't making fun of you." She denied it again.

Skyler raised his hand and spanked her. "You've got guts. I didn't make fun of you for not being able to walk, but you made fun of me for not being able to cook."

Shirley pursed her lips and she was lost for words.

"Forget it, I won't cook anymore. This is so annoying." Skyler waved his hand, turned off the gas, and carried Shirley out of the kitchen. "Let's go back to the room, I'll order food delivery."

Throughout the entire day, Skyler held Shirley in his arms as they lay on the bed, watching dramas, chit-chatting, eating, or 'sleeping.'

He didn't mention anything about what happened last night when he was drugged by his mother.

Perhaps he didn't want Shirley to overthink, or he just thought that it was embarrassing to bring it up as it would give him a black eye.

Pinewoods Villa.

Veronica got up in the morning and had breakfast with Matthew. After that, Matthew went to work, and she was reading a script while lying on the swing in the yard.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She put the script down and took out her phone to take a look. The screen displayed an unfamiliar phone number.

"Hello, who is this?" Veronica asked.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then a familiar voice came. "I'm in Bloomstead. Are you free for lunch? Let's have a meal together."

It was Xavier.

She had already received the news when Xavier and Hendrey returned from the hidden clan, but she didn't take the initiative to contact him.

She didn't expect Xavier to actually return from the hidden clan.

"Where are you? I'll come to replace you."

In the hidden clan, Xavier had helped Veronica many times, and she was grateful to him. She had always thought of Xavier as a friend.

It's just that she couldn't help when it came to the matter between him and Matthew.

Xavier gave her an address, and Veronica quickly tidied up before leaving in her cheap Chevrolet sedan.

She arrived at the cafe one hour later.

The cafe was on the 36th floor of a downtown building, and one could see half of Bloomstead when they are sitting in the cafe.
