Chapter 817 He Still Cares About Her
They left the private room and went downstairs. After Wade paid the bill, they stepped out of the
restaurant together. Wade took out the flowers from the car and passed them to Shirley. With a bright
smile, he offered, “Do you want me to pick you upter?”

“I… have to work overtime. There’s a lot of work to dotely.” Shirley turned him down tactfully.
Although Wade never said anything, she could see the fervent affection behind his gaze. She felt that
she had to tell Wade eventually that she didn’t love him.
“Alright. Keep in touch.” Wade smiled, then said to Monica, “Let’s get into the car, Monica.” He then
waved his hand at Skyler. “See you, Young Master Skyler.”
Monica waved her hand at them and entered the vehicle. Only then did they leave the ce.
Shirley watched as the car pulled onto the main road and disappeared into the distance. Then, she
turned to Skyler and asked, “Did Roni tell you to look for me? What does she want to tell me?”
Skyler felt irked at the sight of the bouquet in her hands. After shooting her a dispassionate nce, he
pointed at the sun. “Are you sure you want to talk under the scorching sun?”
“Where should we go, then?” Shirley couldn’t bear the heat as well, so she held the bouquet with one
hand and raised her other hand to block the sunlight.
“Let’s go back to your ce,” he suggested.
“My ce?” Shirley instinctively took a step back and shook her head. “No—”
“Do you want to swagger into yourpany with a bouquet in your hands?” Skyler cut her off. When
he noticed the subconscious vignce on her face, his heart sank. There seemed to be something
stuck in his throat that irritated him.
He took a few steps forward and looked down at her. “Am I a wolf or something? Are you worried that
I’ll swallow you?”
Shirley was rendered speechless. You’re worse than a pack of wolves, she thought. After hesitating for
a bit, she replied, “No.” Despite what she said, she dipped her head, suggesting otherwise.
Skyler had been suppressing his fury, but it burst out of him as he grabbed the woman’s arm. “Get this
straight, Shirley. You were the one who climbed onto my bed. If I’m a wolf, what does that make you,
huh?” he drawled with extreme displeasure.
Faced with the man’s hostility, Shirley trembled and pressed her lips together.
A cab happened to pass by. Skyler stopped the vehicle and pushed her into it before heading to their
destination. Half an hourter, they arrived at her apartment and entered the living room.
It was Shirley’s home, but after Skyler entered the ce, he was deluged with a sense of familiarity.
Completely at ease, he sat down on the couch and crossed his legs.
Meanwhile, Shirley stood in the living room with Wade’s flowers in her hands, at a loss for words and
not knowing what to do.
“What are you doing there? Have a seat,” he ordered andnguidly leaned his back against the couch.
It was as though he was the owner of this house.
“Oh.” Shirley put down the flowers on the table and ced her bag on the couch. Then, she sat down
with her legs joined and her hands ced on her knees, looking like an obedient student as she looked
at Skyler.
They gazed at each other for several seconds before Shirley stood straight up and snapped, “Hey, it’s
my home. Why should I let you lead me by the nose? That’s ridiculous!” Then, she turned around and
stomped her foot before striding toward the kitchen.
Her roar stunned Skyler. He initially thought that she would pick up a knife from the kitchen and kill him,
but he soon realized that she had put a kettle on the stove and started boiling some water.
Seeing that, he felt his fury subsiding as he looked at the woman with amusement. Then, he pressed
his back against the couch and examined her home. Nothing seemed to have changed since he moved
out previously.
