The few women enthusiastically held Shirley's hand and brought her inside.
"Adam, your family just struck gold! Gary finally found a girlfriend."
"Quick. Come over and have a look. Gary's girlfriend is a beautiful young lady."
"You can finally rest assured. Gary has a girlfriend, so all of you can finally stop worrying about him."
No matter how many times Shirley explained that she was not Garrick's girlfriend, the others all turned a deaf ear to that. Just as she was feeling defeated, she finally saw a familiar figure sitting among the group on the couch…
It was Skyler!
Since she had noticed him, he had naturally noticed her as well.
Old Mr. Brennan, Old Mrs. Brennan, Adam, Sofia, and Skyler all rose to their feet and looked over to see Shirley being pushed over by a bunch of ladies.
"Adam, she's Shir, Gary's girlfriend."
"Have a look. What do you think?"
"Doesn't she look pretty? At a glance, she looks like a clean child."
"She looks quite young. So, it means Gary likes his girlfriends young."
"Hahaha…"
The crowd was amused and burst out laughing when they heard that. There was one exception, though, which was Skyler. He was staring at Shirley with grim eyes when he questioned, "When did you start dating him?"
This damn woman sure knows how to attract men. I just dealt with Wade and now she has Garrick hooked as well. Why didn't I ever realize she was so attractive to men?
"I…" When faced with Skyler's question, Shirley felt her heart thumping wildly as she nervously pursed her lips. "There must be a mistake. I'm—"
"Drew, she's my guest. You'll scare her by acting so fiercely."
