Chapter 815 A Surprised Monica
The smile on Wade’s face froze as he subconsciously took a glance at Shirley. It wasn’t like he could reject Skyler then, so he said, “Alright. Let’s get into the car, then.” He pointed at the Audi A8 parked beside the road. “I’m using my boss’ car.”
“Alright. Let’s go.” Without saying anything else, Shirley shuffled toward the car. As soon as he arrived at the vehicle, Wade opened the door to the passenger’s seat. “Shir—”
“She might obstruct your vision with such a big bouquet, so I’d better get into the passenger’s seat instead,” Skyler said, then bent his back and got into the passenger’s seat before buckling up. He did everything in one smooth motion. Wade’s jaw dropped as he stared fixedly at Skyler, who didn’t seem embarrassed at all.
Skyler had never been concerned about how others might think of his actions, so he didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Despite being gaped at Wade, he pretended to know nothing as he said, “Thanks. You’re quite a gentleman, Mr. Yoder.” Then, he directly closed the car door.
“Well…” Wade was stunned while looking at Skyler, who was now in the passenger’s seat. He mechanically turned around and gazed at Shirley. “I’m sorry. He…” Wade faltered as he had no idea what to say.
“Well… That’s what he’s like. He’s a young master, so he’s used to having the car door opened for him. Please don’t mind him.” Shirley smiled in embarrassment.
“Oh, it’s fine. I don’t mind it at all.” Wade shook his head. Then, he moved and opened the door of the back seat for her. “Please get in, Shir.”
“Thanks.” Shirley got into the vehicle with the flowers. Wade closed the door and sat down in the driver’s seat. Then, he started the engine and set off. The traffic was bad as it was noon, so the car was moving slowly.
Wade talked to Shirley as he looked at her through the rear-view mirror. “Thanks for taking care of my mother. When I returned today, she kept urging me to treat you to a meal. She also praised you for being kind-hearted and beautiful. She even said that it’s hard to find a woman like you these days.”
Although he was passing on his mother’s words, Skyler and Shirley could hear the deeper meaning in his words.
“Please help me thank your mother for her compliment. It was the least I could do,” Shirley replied. As she recalled something suddenly, she went on to ask, “By the way, have you invited Monica?”
Wade told her the day before that he would treat her to a meal, so she told him to invite Monica as well.
“Yes. She sent me a message earlier saying that she’s arrived.” The traffic light turned green, so Wade stepped on the gas pedal and continued driving. Meanwhile, Skyler stared fixedly at the front in silence as a glint flashed across his dark gaze.
A moment later, they arrived at the restaurant and entered the private room. As expected, Monica was already waiting for them inside. “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for ages.”
Monica waved her hand to greet them. When she caught sight of Skyler entering the room, her eyes brightened. “Why are you here, Skyler?”
After her husband went to jail back then, her mother-in-law fought with Monica and hurled her newborn child to the ground. Left with no other choice, she asked Veronica to contact Skyler.
It was Skyler who helped her get in touch with those from Westcross Children Hospital, and her son was sent to the hospital in time and survived. Since then, she had always been grateful to Skyler. Whenever she met him, she would talk to him with respect.
“What’s wrong? Am I not welcome?” Skyler arched his brow as a smile played on his lips. He was born with a wicked smile, but when women caught sight of it, they would misunderstand and think that he was flirting with them.
“No, no, no! That was not what I meant. I’m just surprised because I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Monica pointed at the seat beside her. “Have a seat, Skyler.”
