Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1253

'I'm looking for someone I like, not a business partner. So, I accept your mediocrity, lack of intelligence, and timidity. Because I have everything.'

Shirley could not help recalling the words he had said. A sour feeling rose in her heart, and her eyes shimmered with tears.

Seeing her reddened eyes, Skyler froze his smile, inherently engulfed by nervousness. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing." She shook her head and blinked as tears glistened on her eyelashes. "Are you this sweet-talking to every woman?"

Even during her high school relationship, she had never received a confession like this. Skyler was a master of romance; his words touched her deeply, moistening her eyes. For a brief moment, she felt like she had indeed found the other half of her life, the Prince Charming who had come late.

At that, Skyler's expression darkened. He hugged her waist, made her lie on her side, and raised his hand to give her a punishing slap on her buttocks. "Do I look so cheap to you?"

"I don't know." She pouted and lowered her long, thick eyelashes, not knowing how to answer his question.

"Then, quit that thought. We agreed to try to get along for a while, so let's not overthink this. Understand?"

"Oh, okay." Shirley was still not used to the intimacy between them, blushing shyly. "S-Skyler, it's okay to try to get along, but can we keep it a secret from Roni and President Kings?"

"You're still calling me Skyler?"

"What should I call you, then?"

"As long as you don't call me by my name directly."

"Uhm…" She frowned and thought for a moment. "Ky? Sky?"

"Ky is fine." He thought this nickname was good.
