My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

Marcus halted Skylar by grabbing the shopping cart. His gaze was fixed on her like a predator eyeing its prey. “Let me give you a lift.” 

“Marc…” The woman’s expression soured as she witnessed Marcus showering attention on Skylar. 

She felt insecure as Marcus now had his attention on another woman despite promising to spend the whole day with her. What made it 

Orse was that Skylar appeared more stunning than her. 

Marcus glanced at the woman with a dismissive attitude. “You go on ahead.” 

Among the people Skylar had met at the club, Marcus was the one she liked the least. He was a playboy. and with his wealth as leverage, Marcus was bound to meet his downfall at the hands of a woman sooner or later. 

Skylar suddenly grabbed Marcus‘ arm and applied pressure with her fingertips. “I said, I can handle this myself.” 

After she spoke, Marcus seemed to be electrocuted, his entire body jolting. “Ah!” 

He had already suppressed the scream to avoid alarming others, but the sudden movement had already 

startled the woman beside him. 

“Marc?” she asked. What was happening? Why did Marcus leap as if he were about to perform a magic 

trick? 

By then, Skylar had pushed her cart into the elevator leading to the parking lot. It was as if she wasn’t the one causing Marcus to jump around like a clown. 

It was too late by the time Marcus reacted. He could only watch as Skylar entered the elevator. His handsome face turned dark and gloomy. 

“I’ll own you one day, Skylar! You’re not better than anyone else just because you are with Joe.” Marcus gritted his teeth. 

He was confident he could win over any woman he set his sights on. 

The attractive woman beside him felt aggrieved after hearing Marcus‘ W 

“Marc… do you not like me 

anymore? Didn’t you promise to spend the day with me? Aren’t we going to the mall after finishing shopping at the supermarket?” 

She wasn’t bothered by Marcus‘ many flings, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy. 

“What shopping? Get lost!” 

After leaving the supermarket, Skylar went to the hospital to visit Caleb. Caleb was speechless, looking at the large lollipop in his hand. “I’m not a kid anymore.” 

Was he still a child in her eyes? He suddenly felt bitter.

Caleb had wanted to ask her about her feelings toward him, but the words got stuck in his throat. He feared she would say she saw him as a child or a little brother.. 

Skylar smiled and said, “You’re still a kid in my eyes. That’s why I deliberately chose a motorcycle–shaped lollipop.” 

Caleb forced a mile. “Skylar, I’m not a kid anymore. There are plenty of girls wanting to be my girlfriend.” 

“Okay, okay, you’re the patient, you call the shots. The doctor probably won’t let you eat lollipops now. Save it for later when you’re discharged. Skylar persuaded him in a tone as if coaxing a child. 

Caleb felt he had a long way to go in pursuing Skylar. Though John said he and Skylar were impossible, 

Caleb wanted to prove him wrong. He was determined to win Skylar over!
