Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 818

Even though the layout was simple, it was clean and tidy. Everything was neatly organized, and it gave off the warm feeling of a cozy, little home.

He hadn't stayed in Shirley's house for long, but after he left, he would often think back on the warmth of that place while he lived in the huge empty villa.

He even grew to like the atmosphere of a lived-in place despite its small size.

"What did Veronica ask you to tell me?" Shirley walked up to the entrance and changed into a pair of slippers, then shuffled back to the couch and sat down.

"She—" Skyler paused, then lowered his gaze. His dark pupils darted a little as he said, "Actually, there are many things that you don't know.
