Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1041

Shirley tentatively followed Skyler's dance steps and looked up at the handsome man in front of her. She gradually shook her head and then insecurely lowered her head a little.

Although she was silent, her expression said it all.

Of course, Skyler understood how Shirley felt. Therefore, he leaned closer to her ear and uttered under his breath, "You can wear a mask if we are outside, but these people at home are all our family and friends. Unlike outsiders, they are genuinely willing to accept you and like you for who you are. So, you don't have to feel stressed."

"I know." Sure enough, Shirley understood everything Skyler said was true. However, that didn't mean she could convince herself to let her hair down, as it were. "Ky, can you give me a little time?"

Ever since she became disfigured, she had been trying to adjust her mentality, hoping she could step out of her trauma.

Alas, every time others merely took another glance at her, it would trigger her low esteem, and she would feel as though they were mocking her.

Deep down, she was well aware that most of the time, those were just casual stares, and they weren't mocking at all. Yet, she just couldn't turn a blind eye to her negative assumptions.

"Okay. I won't force you." Skyler tilted his head and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Don't be scared. I will be around at all times, so don't worry."

A great sense of warmth flowed through Shirley's heart as she listened to Skyler's comforting words. She felt she was immersed in a sea of happiness and that everything was simply so wonderful to her. I would have been happier if I wasn't disfigured.

Veronica, who was dancing next to the couple, couldn't help but put on a faint smile as she watched the two being lovey-dovey. "Matt, I feel like I'm living in peace right now. I have nothing else to ask for if I can live a simple and happy life every day in the future."

Those days spent in the hidden clan had put endless pressure on Veronica, and that suffocating sense of oppression nearly crushed her countless times to the point of despair.
