Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)
Chapter 1216 A Surprise

Wade's smile instantly froze. He glanced at Shirley subconsciously and was momentarily speechless. "Oh, alright. Let's take my car."

He pointed to the Audi A8 parked on the side of the road. "I drove my boss' car here."

"Okay."

Shirley didn't ask much and walked toward the car with him.

When they arrived at the car, Wade opened the door to the passenger seat. "Shir, you—"

"She'll block your sight if she sits in the passenger seat with a bouquet. I'll sit here instead," Skyler suggested. Then, he stepped forward and took the passenger seat before fastening the seatbelt.

His movements were smooth and natural.

Under Wade's astonished gaze, Skyler didn't feel awkward at all.

That was because he believed that he wouldn't feel embarrassed as long as he wasn't awkward.

Under Wade's intent gaze, Skyler pretended to look puzzled. "Thank you. I didn't expect you to be quite a gentleman, Mr. Yoder."

After saying that, he reached out to shut the passenger door.

"I..."

Wade's movements froze. He looked at Skyler in the passenger seat and turned his head to look at Shirley. "Sorry, he... I..."

She stuttered and was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Hehe. That's just his personality. Perhaps he's used to being served at home, so it's natural for him to have someone open the car door. Don't mind him." Shirley smiled awkwardly and felt quite embarrassed.

"Oh, sure." Wade shook his head, walked to the car's back seat, and opened the door. "Get in, Shir."

"Thank you."

Shirley got into the car with the bouquet in her arms.

Wade closed the door, hopped into the driver's seat, started the car, and set off.

It was noon, and the road was congested, so the car moved slowly.

Therefore, Wade chatted with Shirley through the rearview mirror. "Thank you for caring for my mother the past few days. As soon as I returned today, she urged me to invite you to dinner. She praised you for being kind-hearted, beautiful, and would make a great partner."

Although he was conveying his mother's words, Skyler and Shirley understood the implied meaning in his words.

"That's very kind of Mrs. Yoder, but don't mention it. It's just a small favor," Shirley answered. Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "By the way, did you invite Monica as well?"

When Wade said he would treat her to a meal yesterday, Shirley told him to invite Monica along.

"Of course I did. She just texted me saying that she has already arrived."

Since the traffic light had turned green, Wade started the car and answered while driving.

Skyler looked ahead. Something sparkled in his eyes, but he remained silent throughout the ride.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant's private room.

Sure enough, Monica had already arrived and was waiting for them inside.

"You guys are finally here. I've been waiting for quite some time now."

Monica waved her hand and greeted them. Then, she noticed Skyler coming in, and her eyes lit up. "Why are you here as well, Sky?"

Previously, when her husband was imprisoned, and her mother-in-law argued with her and threw her newborn baby to the ground, Monica was desperate. Hence, she sought Veronica's help and was eventually directed to Skyler.

He was the one who contacted Westcross Children Hospital, which saved her son's life since he was able to receive treatment in time.

Since then, she has been grateful to Skyler and even started calling him by his nickname.

"What's wrong? Am I not allowed to join?" Skyler raised a brow, and a smirk evident on his face.

That mischievous smirk was innate to him, but in a woman's eyes, it was easy for one to mistake him for either intentionally or unintentionally flirting.

"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. It's just been a long time, so I wasn't expecting you to show up here." Monica pointed to the seat next to her. "Please take a seat."
