Her Biliionaire Husband

Chapter 1253 Ky

'I'm looking for someone I like, not a business partner. So, I accept your mediocrity, lack of intelligence, and timidity. Because I have everything.'

Shirley could not help recalling the words he had said. A sour feeling rose in her heart, and her eyes shimmered with tears.

Seeing her reddened eyes, Skyler froze his smile, inherently engulfed by nervousness. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing." She shook her head and blinked as tears glistened on her eyelashes. "Are you this sweet- talking to every woman?"

Even during her high school relationship, she had never received a confession like this. Skyler was a master of romance; his words touched her deeply, moistening her eyes. For a brief moment, she felt like she had indeed found the other half of her life, the Prince Charming who had come late.

At that, Skyler's expression darkened. He hugged her waist, made her lie on her side, and raised his hand to give her a punishing slap on her buttocks. "Do I look so cheap to you?"

"I don't know." She pouted and lowered her long, thick eyelashes, not knowing how to answer his question.

"Then, quit that thought. We agreed to try to get along for a while, so let's not overthink this. Understand?"

"Oh, okay." Shirley was still not used to the intimacy between them, blushing shyly. "S-Skyler, it's okay to try to get along, but can we keep it a secret from Roni and President Kings?"

"You're still calling me Skyler?"

"What should I call you, then?"

"As long as you don't call me by my name directly."

"Uhm…" She frowned and thought for a moment. "Ky? Sky?" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Ky is fine." He thought this nickname was good.

"Ky, it is," they said simultaneously.

He frowned slightly in dissatisfaction. "Why, though?"

"I don't want Roni and President Kings to know about our relationship, so calling you 'Ky' is just right," she explained.

He smiled helplessly, "Alright, as you wish." He hugged the woman in his arms, feeling extremely happy.

Mountainside Gardens.

After Matthew left One Piece Restaurant, Veronica waited a long time but did not see him return, so she returned to Mountainside Gardens alone. After washing up, she lay on the bed to rest, watching the clock on the wall ticking away, but Matthew's figure was nowhere to be seen.

She dialed his phone number on her mobile phone, but his device was turned off. She could not help but worry about him, afraid he would go after Xavier.

Previously, Matthew concealed his identity, so he would not have conflicts with Xavier even if he saw him. Now that it had been revealed, would Matthew be able to tolerate Xavier? Or would he seek revenge for what happened at the castle last time?

Veronica did not know what to do about the deep hatred between them.

After waiting another half an hour, it was already 2:30 p.m. She could not rest assured and quietly left Mountainside Gardens. She took the car keys, started the SUV, and headed toward Xavier's hotel.

In the middle of the night, the streets were cold and lonely. She sped along the road, and in just twenty minutes, she arrived at the hotel. She headed upstairs and went straight to the door of Room 308 on the third floor, announcing her presence.

Knock, knock, knock...

After knocking a few times, there was no response. Veronica raised her hand and banged again until

the door finally opened. With slightly messy hair, Xavier stood at the door wearing a bathrobe. His sleepy eyes instantly became clear when he saw her outside the door. "Why are you here?"
