He raised his hand and pinched his brow in frustration. "Damn it!"
She had repeatedly promised last night that she would not leave without a word again, so how did she manage to escape while he was asleep?
Creak…
The bedroom door opened, and Shirley walked out from inside, wrapped in a bathrobe. She stood at the bathroom door, her fair cheeks tinged with a faint blush. "You… Are you awake?"
Recalling the madness between the two of them last night, Shirley shivered slightly.
Even at this moment, she was still holding onto the door, feeling her legs trembling uncontrollably.
She couldn't fathom the extent of "torment" and madness she had experienced last night.
Shirley's perception of Skyler had been completely reshaped.
Skyler, sitting on the bed, paused for a moment. His slightly annoyed expression gradually eased.
He reached back and ruffled his short hair, raised an eyebrow, and uncomfortably shifted his gaze to the side.
Just a moment ago, he had thought that Shirley had once again run away, only to find out that she had only gone to the bathroom to freshen up.
Her delicate and fair cheeks were probably flushed due to the warm water shower, with the steam causing a rosy hue like an enticing glow, making her look wonderful.
But the scars on her face were also more prominent, marring her once-beautiful countenance.
Skyler noticed the scars on her face and paused for a couple of seconds. However, his inadvertent reaction pricked at Shirley's heart like a needle.
Shirley lowered her head in panic. "I...I'll make breakfast for you."
With scars on her face, Shirley was most afraid of being stared at.
Was Skyler's intense gaze just now a sign that he was starting to despise her?
Feeling flustered, she hurriedly walked towards the bedroom door, but her legs were weak and she stumbled after a few steps, falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Skyler immediately lifted the bedding and rushed to her to pull her up. "Why are you so careless?"
