Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1217

Ring, ring.

Suddenly, a phone started ringing. Skyler took out his phone and glanced at it. "I'm going out to take a call." After saying that, he turned and walked out of the private room.

Shirley pouted, "Tsk, Monica, you're so unfair. You only greeted Young Master Skyler and didn't even notice me and Wade."

Wade laughed at her teasing remark, and Monica reached out to pinch Shirley's arm. "You're getting naughtier now, Shirley. The nerve of you to make fun of me."

"Ouch, it hurts, Monica. I was just joking," Shirley whined but laughed happily.

Inside the private room, the atmosphere was lively and relaxed. Still, on the corridor outside, Skyler looked at the overseas phone number displayed on the screen of his phone with furrowed brows, looking very serious.

Clenching his phone, he slid his finger over the answer button and placed the phone next to his ear. "Thomas?"

"Skyler, I just received some news from Boss. You can leave now." Thomas merely relayed the message without mentioning any specific details, but Skyler knew Matthew too well.

Matthew was always cautious in his actions; everything he did was foolproof and flawless. Before he left Castron for the hidden clan, the few of them had a meeting where Matthew had mentioned that he would let Skyler go to the hidden clan.

Miguel was steady in his work, responsible for overseeing and guiding the businesses under his name in Bloomstead; Caleb, although usually quiet, had a wide network and was diplomatic in his dealings.

They complemented each other, which set Matthew at ease, and this was why they ultimately chose Skyler to go to the hidden clan.

Of course, another reason was Skyler's exceptional medical skills. With him around, Matthew would be even more at ease.

"Am I leaving now?" Skyler's grip on his phone tightened slightly as he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the private room with hesitation.
