Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1198

Shirley's expression had a hint of unease when she saw the two of them. Meanwhile, Garrick slowly stood up and asked, "Why did you two come here?"

His tone of speech made it easy to tell that he was unaware.

"Um… Gary, is the friend you mentioned Shirley?"

Sofia glanced at Shirley and said to Garrick, "Skye and I wanted to find a place to have coffee, and since you were here, we came over. We didn't know you were on a date with Shirley."

As she spoke, Skyler, donning a black T-shirt, cast a cold glance at Shirley.

When the two of them looked at each other, the events of last night involuntarily came to mind.

His gaze was clear and sharp, causing a faint blush to rise to her cheeks. With just one glance, she lowered her head, no longer daring to meet his eyes.

Garrick quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense. Yesterday was your birthday, and it was because Nancy kept bugging me that I asked Shirley to pretend to be my girlfriend for a while. That's why I invited her here today to express my gratitude."

After saying that, he turned to Shirley. "Right, Miss Wilson?"

"Ah? Yes, that's right."

Although there was a slight discrepancy with what was said earlier, Shirley agreed with his words as she felt that Garrick was trying to save her the embarrassment.

Hearing Garrick's explanation, Skyler frowned slightly and glanced at Shirley with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

So, that's what happened?

Did I misunderstand her last night?

Feeling uncomfortable from Skyler's burning gaze, Shirley could only pick up the coffee on the table and take a sip to ease the awkwardness.

Naturally, Garrick invited Shirley to come over because he had coordinated with Sofia. Sofia then brought Skyler over and deliberately showed off the fact that they were together in front of Shirley.

Sofia felt satisfied now that her goal had been achieved. "You guys should continue chatting. Skye, let's go upstairs."

Skyler raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "It's almost time for lunch. As we all know each other, why don't we have our meal together?"

"T-That doesn't sound like a good idea."
