Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 851

As Shirley continued, she felt upset all of a sudden. "I'm scared of being here. And without Veronica here, I can only depend on you. What do you think I should do?"

When Skyler heard what she said, he felt terrible for her but was happy at the same time. So, he reached out his hand to caress her face. "If you have feelings for me, just admit it. Why consider so much? So what if I'm from the Robins Family? I've never used my family's money since graduating high school. So, no one has the right to tell me what to do. As for Sofia, I've told you many times that I won't marry her. At this point, we are history."

However, she still shook her head. "You're born into a wealthy family, so there are many things that you don't know. The compatibility of social class between a couple was, and is still, very important." She softly bit her red lip and hesitated for a second. "Skyler, we're even after tonight. I hope that you can forget everything about today too. I'll find Veronica tomorrow and ask her to bring me out of here."

At first, when she came to the hidden clan, she thought Veronica had something to tell her, but only after tonight did she realize she was unwanted there. Instead of stirring trouble here, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible to save trouble.

"Even?!" At once, Skyler grabbed her by her shoulders while anger emitted from his brown eyes. "Who do you think I am? Huh?!"

His sudden outrage shocked Shirley so much that she didn't even dare to breathe. She looked at him blankly and kept quiet for quite some time. Meanwhile, the fear in her eyes nearly flowed out of them.

Seeing that, he felt relented and softened his tone immediately. "Do you think that I'm just playing with you?"

"Are you not?" she asked, throwing the question back at him.

"Seriously? Am I really such a jerk?"

Although she didn't answer his question, her eyes had already explained it all.

At this moment, he suppressed his desire to choke her. After calming down, he explained, "We can spend about two months together in the hidden clan. Why don't we try to be together? Maybe I'm really not as bad as you think I am."

"Try to be together?" As she repeated his words, there were sparks in her eyes. She was hesitating, as she couldn't deny that she was honestly tempted. Since that relationship in high school, it had been such a long time since she had been involved in a relationship.

Furthermore, since the first time she met Skyler, she had been deeply attracted to this handsome but roguish man. He was free, casual, brash, and playful, but somehow, he seemed like he had his principles in everything he did. Needless to say, he was also a well-known medical prodigy in Bloomstead. It would be difficult for her not to be attracted to an attractive young man.

"Yes, we can try to be together. If we're not compatible, we can end things before we return to Bloomstead. If that happens, we'll still be friends, and no one will know about what happened. What do you think?" he swallowed his pride and asked gently. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was excited and nervous on the inside. He was even secretly praying for her to agree to his request.

"Skyler."

"Yes?" he answered when he heard her calling his name. Then, she continued, "I-I am from a low-income family and graduated from an average university. I don't have any special skills, and I'm nothing like Veronica, who is so good at fighting and a master at hacking. She's even good at games and has such an affluent background. I-I'm just a plain Jane, and I'm also a coward and a fool. Are you sure that you can accept a person like me?"

Even though their love for each other was already in the air, Skyler didn't expect to confess to her in this way. Shirley's rationality asked her to reject him, but his condition of 'trying to be together' was just too tempting to her.

"Haha!" He laughed loudly and raised his hand to softly flick her forehead. "I want a woman I love, not a business partner. I like everything about you, and I will allow you to be a coward because I'll always have your back."
