Chapter 550 Deaf After Being Slapped
“I-I am okay.” Shirley shook her head as she pushed Skyler away to keep some distance from him. She
didn’t want Sofia to misunderstand the situation.
When she moved a few steps to her left and kept herself away from him, she wasn’t expecting Sofia’s
slap to land on her face as the woman scolded, “Making a move on my boyfriend? Do you have a
death wish?!”
Sofia’s hand landed on Shirley’s face, making a clear and loud noise. The blow landed right on
Shirley’s ear, and it was ringing right now. Taken aback by Sofia’s move, Shirley paused for a beat
before she put a hand next to her ear to rub where she was hit.
It hurts! “Sofia, are you out of your mind? I’m the one to blame! This has got nothing to do with her!”
Skyler dragged Shirley away from Sofia’s view as he stepped in front of Shirley to keep her out of
Sofia’s reach. Anger was boiling within him as he glared at Sofia.

Their eyes bored into each other. Skyler took his time to study the woman with a nice figure in front
of him. He had been missing her every second in the past, but now he could no longer recognize

She had become a stranger to him. Skyler was rejecting the thought of Sofia returning to the
country after all these years. He couldn’t accept the truth and hoped to run away, so Sofia couldn’t
find him.
He never prepared to see her in her old self, still bossing people around. Sofia pointed at Shirley.
“This b*tch is trying to seduce you! I’m just teaching her a lesson. Did you forget what I’ve told you
in the past?”
“Stop mentioning the past!” Skyler growled at her as soon as she finished her words.
Watching her with a pair of cold eyes, he clenched his fists before he pulled Shirley into his
embrace. He grabbed her waist in his left arm while his right hand held her chin in a firm grip as he
pressed a kiss onto her lips.
The kiss was as light as a feather. After that, he released Shirley and turned to Sofia. “Are you
satisfied now?”
He then sneered. “You should know that people have no obligation to wait for you if you want to
leave, especially me. I won’t wait for anyone.”
He was saying these words against his will.
Pursing her lips, Sofia gestured at Shirley as she was trying to say something, but she eventually
gave up on the attempt as she drew her hand back to her side.
Holding his gaze, she nodded. “I’ve always known I’m the one at fault, but can’t you see now I’ve
come back to marry you? You’re the one who has been avoiding me.”
Sofia was speaking the truth. She returned to the country only to marry Skyler, and it was the main
reason why the man didn’t want to see her and had been avoiding her.
Sofia had to investigate his recent social activities as she was left without choices.
Monica and Shirley were both his frequent contacts, but Sofia ruled Monica out due to Monica
having a family, and Skyler wouldn’t be interested in her.
Hence, Shirley was the only person left to be suspected by Sofia.
Feeling the pain in her ear, Shirley covered it with her left hand without joining in the conversation.
Skyler shook his head. “You’re back because you’ve had enough fun in another country? Sofia,
how can you expect someone to wait for you forever? I have given you three years to reconsider,
but you never take the opportunity. As for now…”

Putting an arm around Shirley’s shoulder, Skyler tilted his head and lifted his chin, gesturing at
Shirley. “I like a docile and gentle girl better.”
He tightened his grip around Shirley’s shoulder as he declared, “I am not seeing you these days
because I don’t want to waste my time explaining. Now Shirley and I are about to get engaged, so
I suggest you better forget about our past.”
Sofia glared at the pair with puffy cheeks as she clenched her fist at the side. She parted her lips
to speak, but eventually, no words escaped her.
After a long silence, Sofia nodded. “Skyler Robins, how dare you?!”
After that, she immediately turned on her heel to leave. The tears in her eyes hadn’t gone
unnoticed by Skyler, but he didn’t follow her.
“Shirley, I’m sorry. I—” Once Sofia was out of sight, Skyler released Shirley and apologized. When
he noticed she was covering her ear, he scowled. “What happened to your ear?”
“My ear hurts,” she mumbled.
Based on his perception as a doctor, he was aware that she was uncomfortable. Pulling her hand
away, he got close to her and gave her a quick check, only to find a few drops of blood in her ear.
“We must go to the hospital now!” Skyler’s expression sank at Shirley’s condition, and he wasted
no more time taking her to the hospital.
