Chapter 148
“Skye!” Harvey called out to Skylar.
Skylar briskly walked up to Harvey and asked, “Mom told me this morning that you were on a break for two days to study at home. Why would you suddenly come to look for me?”
“I just miss you. Anyway, are you tired from work?”
Harvey had been observing the Gardner Group just now. He searched online and found out that Skylar had joined Alexander’s team.
That team was considered second to none in the industry.
Skylar was truly remarkable. But she must’ve put in a lot of effort.
She was so kind. Her brothers cherished her for so many years, but the Williamses bullied her in the end.
The thought of Skylar being bullied made Harvey well up with tears.
“I’m not tired at all. I love this job and am happy with it. Since it’s lunchtime now, I’ll take you around. Then, we can grab a meal.
“It’s been ages since we’ve had a meal together. Just the two of us,” Skylar replied with a smile.
Harvey couldn’t see any trace of grievance on Skylar’s face. She had always been like that. Not wanting to worry her family.
“I’ve saved up quite a bit. Let me treat you,” said Harvey.
“It’s my treat. I’ve earned some money recently. Treating you to a meal and a shopping spree won’t be a problem at all. Don’t worry about me.”
There was no way Skylar would let Harvey use his pocket money.
Harvey lowered his head, and his eyes welled up even more. Once he gets into college, he would find ways to make money in his spare time.
When he becomes capable enough, no one would dare bully his family.
The two then headed to the top floor of the mall and had a meal.
Harvey loved barbecue. So, they ordered several plates of meat and ate till they were full.
Seeing each other’s full bellies, they couldn’t help but laugh at each other.
Guys like Harvey were always focused on their studies. During his free time, he would play basketball and do various sports. Hence, it didn’t matter to him what clothes he wore.
“You’re so handsome, Harvey. I’ll buy you a few sets of clothes today. After your college entrance exams, I’ll buy you a new phone and laptop,” said Skylar.
Skylar remembered that their family had always been tight on money.

Harvey’s clothes were mostly hand–me–downs from Steven and Charles. He rarely got new clothes.
“Skye, you should keep the money you earned. Women like to buy bags and clothes, but men don’t. I don’t need new clothes. I look the same no matter what I wear,” Harvey insisted on not spending Skylar’s
money.
“No, you have to wear stylish clothes to match your looks.”
“Then just buy one outfit.”
How could one outfit be enough?
Ignoring Harvey’s protest, Skylar found a shop that suited his style. She walked in and picked out several outfits for him to try.
In the end, every outfit looked great on him. They then settled on three outfits.
When it came time to pay, Harvey insisted on buying just one of them. But Skylar refused outright.
“You two look so sweet as a couple,” the shop assistant exclaimed.
