Skyler approached the door, and when he reached Matthew, Matthew grabbed his wrist. "Think it through!"
Knowing Skyler better than anyone else, Matthew couldn't bear to see him make a hasty decision. As close friends, he wanted to make sure Skyler considered all the options.
Skyler had initially decided to become a monk, but because Sofia was pregnant with Zephyr's child, he decided to leave the monastery.
Just a few minutes ago, he had walked out of the living room and hidden behind a plant, overhearing a conversation between his biological parents that changed his thoughts once again.
"It's just a marriage, not a trip to hell. What's there to consider?" Skyler smiled indifferently, brushed off Matthew's hand, and walked away calmly.
Watching his retreating figure, Veronica couldn't help but think about that sorrowful smile. It reflected the unforgiving sadness life had bestowed upon him.
Feeling powerless, Veronica knew that Skyler was about to make a reckless decision, but she couldn't help him at all.
"Oh, son, you've finally made up your mind. Let's go home. Let me tell you, the thing between Sofia and your brother was an accident. It was my fault..." Keysha put her hand on Skyler's shoulder and led him to the car.
They got into the car, and the Robins Family's driver started the car, slowly leaving the Imperial Court villa.
Veronica and Matthew stood at the door. She sighed, filled with emotion, "Are we really going to watch him make a reckless decision?"
"We can assist with anything, but we can't control feelings." Matthew looked upset, his eyebrows furrowed, and his face filled with helplessness.
They turned and entered the living room. The people playing cards asked where Skyler had gone when they saw them come in.
Veronica explained the situation, and they lost interest in playing cards, sitting on the couch in silence.
