Chapter 844 Just an Accident

“Matt, please do me this favor and leave Xavier alone. Can you?” Veronica didn’t want the two men to

fight each other because if that happened, she didn’t know whose side she should take.

“You want me to leave Xavier alone?” Matthew repeated Veronica’s words, a painful expression

flashing across his face. As the two of them exchanged gazes, the man pursed his lips and smirked

sarcastically. “So, you really care about him, don’t you?”

Meeting Matthew’s distant gaze, Veronica guiltily looked away as she struggled to summon the

courage to look him in the eye. When Matthew didn’t receive an answer from Veronica a few moments

later, he assumed that her silence was a yes. Thus, his face turned cold and darkened just when he

shook off Veronica’s left hand that was seizing his wrist.

However, the lady, whose right hand was also holding Matthew’s other wrist, didn’t release her grip until

the man forcefully shook her hand off. As soon as he turned around and walked away, Veronica grew

even more anxious and begged with a high-pitched voice. “Please, Matt! Please do me this favor!”

At that moment, Matthew, who just took a step out of the door, paused in his tracks and stood in place

for a while, radiating a cold aura. At the same time, he was seen clenching his fists tightly, indicating

just how mad he was. After the stalemate went on for a few moments, Matthew finally took a step

forward and walked away, leaving Veronica behind in a trance.

On the other hand, Shirley was playing some computer games to kill boredom when Skyler returned to

his room downstairs. Upon hearing the noise, she quickly came out of her study and smiled at Skyler.

“Welcome home.”

Skyler scanned his surroundings in the living room and realized every single light was on, as well as

the noisy audio from the computer. Therefore, he was instantly able to tell that Shirley had a hard time

adjusting to her life with the hidden clan, believing she was afraid of the dark when the night set in.

“Were you waiting for me?” For some reason, Skyler had a strange feeling that Shirley was waiting for

him, just like a wife waiting for her husband. Ah, this would be so good. I guess it was the right choice

to bring her to the hidden clan.

“What?” Shirley was stunned, trying to figure out the meaning behind Skyler’s question. Wait a minute!

Something’s off. It’s as if he is trying to imply something ‘ambiguous’. Despite the thought of that, she

shook her head and replied, “Nah. I was just playing some games to kill boredom, but now that you’re

back, I figured we could play together.”

“Oh, really?” Skyler smiled mischievously, yet his playfulness was precisely what was capable of

stealing someone’s heart.

“Yes, of course. Our company is in the video game industry, so I’m merely using my time to learn a

thing or two in the hope that it’s going to help me at work.” Shirley came up with a convincing excuse to

invite Skyler to join her.

“Sure, let’s play some games then.” Skyler took a step forward and caressed Shirley’s head, wrapping

his arm around her neck while heading toward the study.

Uncomfortable with the intimate interaction, Shirley shook off Skyler’s arm and said, “Mr. Robins,

please remember your place. Don’t forget—you have a fiancée.”

At that moment, the smile on Skyler’s face stiffened just as he glared at Shirley. “Remember my place?

Have you forgotten about the time you tried to bed me when you crept into my bed the first time? Then,

you sneaked into my room last night in an attempt to spend the night with me. Why didn’t you remind

yourself of your own place when you did all those things?” How ungrateful! Doesn’t she have a heart?

This is unforgivable.

“I… I…” Shirley’s face blushed as she pursed her lips. “It’s like I’ve always told you. What happened

the other day was simply an accident.” Ugh! I’m going to have a hard time living this down. Although

she couldn’t lie to herself about her feelings for Skyler, the unequal status between the two of them

made it seem impossible for them to be together, in her opinion. Furthermore, Shirley had not forgotten

about Skyler’s fiancée—Sofia.

Shirley was in a terrible mood that day, which was why she tried to drown her sorrows with alcohol but

ended up getting drunk by the time she got home. Wanting to confirm whether she had driven Skyler

away, she opened his bedroom door, only to realize he was still there.

As her rational mind succumbed to the alcoholic influence, she swung her fist across the air and

punched Skyler’s face. She was motivated by her desire to avenge herself for the humiliation she had

suffered earlier that day when Sofia slapped her at First Meeting.
