Chapter 1225 Why Is Eleanor Here?
He said casually, "Okay."
He said casually, "Okay."
Then, he walked past Shirley and closed the door before heading towards the bedroom. Shirley
followed him behind slowly.
The bedroom was spacious, with a two-meter bed covered in gray and white striped sheets. It looked
neat and clean.
Shirley pointed at the sofa and asked softly, "Can I sleep on the sofa?"
Skyler casually sat on the bed and took off his shirt, which startled Shirley as she stepped back.
"What… What are you doing? I advise you to think before you act, Skyler."
Skyler had already taken off his shirt as she spoke, revealing his well-defined muscles.
He was the type who looked thin when dressed but muscular when undressed. He had a devilish face,
especially when he smiled mischievously, which could easily captivate people.

Then, he lowered his eyes toward her chest naturally. "Oh, my bad. I forget that we're different." He
pointed to his chest muscles and shrugged, smiling at her.
Skyler lay on the bed and propped his head with his elbow. "It's uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa.
Why don't you sleep on the bed? I promise not to touch you. Besides, this bed is two meters wide.
That's enough for both of us," he said sincerely. He swore that he had no ulterior motives.
Hearing his words, Shirley glanced at the sofa. Although it was not as big as the one in the living room,
it was enough for her.
"No thanks. I'll just sleep here." As she spoke, she walked toward the door. "I'll get the bedding."
A hint of amusement flashed across Skyler's eyes as he watched her scurry away.
In that split second, he suddenly felt that he had made the right decision to bring her to the hidden clan.
If I were to leave her in Bloomstead, she would be tricked by Garrick's cunning methods.
As Skyler thought about it, he heard the sound of the door closing. Shirley had come back with the
bedding.
To make her feel more at ease, Skyler faced away from the sofa and closed his eyes, pretending to be
asleep.
When Shirley entered the room, she saw Skyler lying without moving on the bed. At that moment, she
thought he had fallen asleep due to tiredness. Thus, she quietly went to the sofa and put on the
bedding. Then, she turned off the lights and slept.

Veronica and Matthew left One Piece Restaurant and returned to Mountainside Gardens by the
mountains.
The lights in the attic of Mountainside Gardens were still on, and faint voices could be heard.
The duo stopped at the door and looked at each other before entering.
"You're finally back, Roni. If you're not back, Mr. Crayson would have sent someone to capture... I
mean, to look for you." Mateo, who was pacing back and forth in the living room, heard footsteps and

"You guys will capture me back after I had only gone out for half a day?" Veronica's expression was
cold as she scoffed.
"Of course not. I misspoke just now." Mateo shook his head and pointed at Crayson sitting on the sofa.
"Mr. Crayson is here for a reason. Eleanor came here today to look for you and Iron Pillar."
On the sofa, Crayson wore a loose blue shirt and crossed his legs while smoking a cigarette.
His naturally dark complexion made his face look even more unpleasant when angry.
"Hmph! You finally decided to come back!" Crayson glanced at her and snorted coldly.
Veronica waved her hand at Matthew and said, "You've worked hard today, Iron Pillar. Go upstairs and
rest. I'll talk to Master Crayson for a while."
"Yes, Miss Murphy."
Matthew nodded and headed upstairs.
Veronica walked to the sofa and sat on the opposite side of Crayson. "Why is Eleanor here to look for
me today?"
