Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 1263 Full Of Challenges

They simply couldn't hide their feelings since they secretly admired each other.

Veronica noticed something suspicious the moment she came in with Matthew.

Shirley bit her lip, glanced at Veronica, and blushed as she shyly smiled. "Veronica... "

"You're free to love. I won't intervene."

Veronica refrained from saying too much due to Skyler's presence.

"I... I just want to tell you that I didn't mean to keep it from you. We are only trying to get to know each other better. If it doesn't work out..."

Skyler interjected before she could finish her sentence, "There's no way it doesn't work out. Period."

"Shirley has been in the hidden clan for two days, Roni. She must be tired of staying in her room all the time. Why don't you take her out for a walk?"

Matthew suggested.

Veronica instantly knew that he wanted to discuss something important with Skyler alone, so she went along.

She smiled as she held Shirley's hand, and she said, "Come on, I'll show you around."

"Hehe, sure. I've been bored for the past few days."

Shirley smiled wholeheartedly as she got up and left with Veronica.

Veronica asked when they were walking along the corridor, "Why did you suddenly agree to give him a chance?"

"Um..."

Shirley hesitated. She didn't want to reveal what had happened, fearing that Veronica might think badly of her.

After pondering for a moment, she answered, "He confessed to me, and I said yes in the heat of the moment. But we agreed to give it some time before we make it official." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shirley."

Veronica stopped and stood in front of Shirley. Then, she said with a serious expression, "I'm not against you being with Skyler, but you have to think it through. I just don't want to see you get hurt, do you understand?"

How could Shirley be so sure about Skyler, who had been visiting entertainment venues frequently? Even Veronica couldn't tell what his true nature was.

Besides, they were born in contrasting family backgrounds. Sofia Green was also in between their relationship, which could further complicate the matter.

"I know you care about me, Veronica."

Shirley lowered her gaze as she fidgeted nervously. She eventually broke the silence after a long moment of hesitation and a quick scan of their surroundings to make sure no one was around. "Actually... Actually..."

"Let's talk in my room."

Veronica tactfully pulled her hand and led her upstairs when she sensed Shirley was about to share something private.

They sat by the window after they entered the room. Veronica boiled a kettle of water and sat across from Shirley. Then, she said, "You may go ahead."

"It's a bit of a long story. Skyler stayed in my apartment for a few days last year to avoid Sofia Green, and then..."

Shirley confessed hesitantly, and she occasionally glanced at Veronica as if she was a kid who had done something wrong.

"Sofia misunderstood us after that, and she even attacked me. He moved in with a promise to give me 15 thousand dollars in exchange for a favor, and I never expected things to unfold the way they did..."

Shirley revealed every detail regarding her time with Skyler, including things that happened at Vincere Games and her encounter with Garrick Brennan.

Veronica listened attentively to Shirley, and she furrowed her brows slightly. "You've had so much going on, yet you kept it from me, Shirley. But Skyler has a point. Garrick is Sofia's brother, after all. It really is

suspicious if he gets close to you."

She thought hard for a moment before saying, "Skyler rarely gets so invested in a woman, from what I know. I think he genuinely cares about you. Perhaps... You should give him a chance."

"Really?"

Shirley's eyes lit up, and a mixture of excitement and relief was showed on her face.

She had anticipated a scolding from Veronica, but to her surprise, she got her support instead.

"I'm with you this time because I can see you have feelings for him. However, you'll do well to remember that there's a significant difference in your family backgrounds, and the road ahead will be full of challenges."
