At Pinewoods Villa, Skyler held Shirley's hand as they strolled on the lawn of the villa, enjoying the breeze and chatting away happily. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Suddenly, Shirley stopped and stood in front of Skyler, looking into his eyes with her watery and beautiful gaze. "Thank you for always being by my side, Ky."
The once unruly man smiled gently and uttered in a serious tone, "You are my woman, Shirley. Who else will always be by your side if not for me?"
Seeing the smile gradually appearing on her face, Skyler secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After staying by Shirley's side over this period of time and attempting various ways to make her happy, it seemed to be effective.
Skyler thought that as long as he made a little more effort, he could help her overcome her trauma.
However, he was still worried that Shirley would be reluctant to leave Pinewoods Villa. She seemed to regard it as a defensive fortress. If she were to leave the place and encounter the scrutiny of others again, it could potentially shatter her psychological defenses, causing her delicate soul to crumble.
"No matter what, I think you're a good person."
Shirley smiled with contentment, stepped forward, and gave Skyler a big hug.
He embraced her in his arms naturally in return.
Leaning against his chest, Shirley felt his breath and the familiar scent that resembled a calming fragrance, which made her feel at ease.
She never expected that this sense of security would come from Skyler.
"Likewise."
Skyler held her, gently caressing her hair with his big hand. His tone was extremely gentle, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed affection, nearly overflowing.
Ring—
Just then, Skyler's phone rang.
