Chapter 1069 Keysha Oliver’s Threat
At Pinewoods Villa, Skyler held Shirley's hand as they strolled on the lawn of the villa, enjoying the
breeze and chatting away happily. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Suddenly, Shirley stopped and stood in front of Skyler, looking into his eyes with her watery and
beautiful gaze. "Thank you for always being by my side, Ky."
The once unruly man smiled gently and uttered in a serious tone, "You are my woman, Shirley. Who
else will always be by your side if not for me?"
Seeing the smile gradually appearing on her face, Skyler secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After staying by Shirley's side over this period of time and attempting various ways to make her happy,
it seemed to be effective.
Skyler thought that as long as he made a little more effort, he could help her overcome her trauma.
However, he was still worried that Shirley would be reluctant to leave Pinewoods Villa. She seemed to
regard it as a defensive fortress. If she were to leave the place and encounter the scrutiny of others

"No matter what, I think you're a good person."
Shirley smiled with contentment, stepped forward, and gave Skyler a big hug.
He embraced her in his arms naturally in return.
Leaning against his chest, Shirley felt his breath and the familiar scent that resembled a calming
fragrance, which made her feel at ease.
She never expected that this sense of security would come from Skyler.
"Likewise."
Skyler held her, gently caressing her hair with his big hand. His tone was extremely gentle, and his
eyes were filled with unconcealed affection, nearly overflowing.
Ring—
Just then, Skyler's phone rang.
Shirley stood up and left his embrace. "Your phone is ringing. Go and answer the call."
"Okay," Skyler responded and took out the phone from his pocket. He glanced at the screen, which
displayed his mother's phone number.
He hesitated for a moment before answering the call and walking to the side, turning his back against
Shirley. "What's the matter?"
"Where are you?"
On the other end of the phone, Skyler's mother questioned in a harsh tone.
"I'm at Matthew's place."
"I don't care where you are. Come back to me now, immediately!" Keysha Oliver's voice was cold, and
just by listening to it, one could tell that she was furious.
"Brayden is managing the company right now. I don't want to go back yet." Skyler turned his head and
looked at Shirley. He noticed that she raised her hand and brushed her hair before taking the mask off
her face. Closing her eyes, she tilted her head upward, enjoying the beautiful moment that came with
the gentle breeze.

She never expected that this sense of security would come from Skyler.
Seeing her in such a state, he felt even more reluctant to leave Pinewoods Villa.
"Are you not willing to come back, or are you seeing another woman?" Keysha questioned before
reminding him, "Don't forget your father wants you to marry Sofia! You've been away from Bloomstead
for some time now, and I couldn't even reach you. Before you left, you said you had an important secret
training to attend, so I stopped myself from pestering you, but now, you must cut off ties with other
women and marry Sofia immediately!"
Skyler knew that his mother wouldn't call him for anything good.
As expected, he was right.
"Don't you remember that you and Dad met through an arranged marriage and you suffered from it?
Why would you still want to interfere in my marriage?" Skyler snorted, "Dream on!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone heartlessly and ignored her.
Contrary to his expectations, Keysha called him again, and he hung up once more.
This time, Keysha didn't call but instead sent him a message. 'I know you are with that woman at
Pinewoods Villa. If you don't want me to come in person, you better come back on your own.'
This message was a threat to Skyler.
