Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 736

Jayden didn't even feel confident when he muttered those words, but he was left with no other choice.

The elevator slowly descended. Shirley didn't even realize that she was still clutching Skyler's hand in a death grip because her mind was an utter mess.

After the elevator door slowly slid open, the two walked out, with Shirley taking the lead and Skyler following behind her obediently.

She eventually sensed a slight stickiness in her hand when they walked out of the building lobby. She looked down and shrieked in surprise when she realized that she was still holding his hand. Her face flushed crimson in record them, and she quickly released him.
