Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 852

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.

Shirley's mind was filled with Skyler's words a moment ago, and she felt a lump form in her throat. With her eyes shimmering in the light, tears welled up in them.

When Skyler saw her eyes turning red, the smile on his face froze, and he became nervous. "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"No." She shook her head and blinked, catching some teardrops on her lashes. "Do you sweet talk every woman like this?"

Even during her relationship in high school, she had never received such a heartfelt confession.

Skyler was a master at relationships, for everything he said touched her so much that tears welled up in her eyes. For that one moment, she felt that she had found the other half of her life—her prince, who came so late into her life.

When he heard that, his face darkened, and he wrapped his hands around her waist to let her lay down on her side. Then, he lifted his hand and slapped her on her bottom as a punishment. "Do I look that cheap?"

"I don't know." She pouted her lips and looked down, showing her long and rich eyelashes. It was as if she didn't know how to answer his question.

"Don't imagine things if you don't know. We agreed on trying to be together for some time, so let's not think about other things within this period, okay?"

"Okay." Shirley was still not used to the intimacy between them, so she said while blushing, "S-Skyler, it's okay for us to try to be together, but can we not let Veronica and President Kings know?"

"Are you still addressing me by my name?"

"What should I address you as then?"

"Just not my name."

"Hmm…" She considered with a frown. "Ky? Sky?"

"Let's go with Ky." Skyler felt this nickname was not bad.
