Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 1248 Scared Sh*tless

In case she was sound asleep, it would seem like he was being presumptuous if he woke her up by knocking on the door.

After much thought, Skyler decided against it. He turned around, went to the bedroom, pushed open the window, and climbed out.

The hidden clan's house was designed like an ancient building with distinct features. After climbing out of the window and stepping on the green bricks and tiles, he easily made his way to Shirley's living room.

Her room's window was half open. He pushed the window sash open and quietly entered the living room.

While standing in the living room, he faintly heard a sound coming from the bedroom.

He couldn't help but feel confused. It was late, so why hadn't she gone to sleep yet?

Skyler walked toward the bedroom and pushed open the door gently. Only then did he realize that the bedside lamp in the bedroom had been on the whole time, and there was also a phone playing hidden clan songs that he couldn't understand.

The bedding was all messed up, but there was no sign of Shirley.

All of a sudden, Skyler panicked. Where's Shirley?

He went to the bathroom and pushed the door open, but no one was inside. He then turned and walked out of the bedroom and went to the study, only to find it empty as well.

"Shirley?"


Skyler called out, but there was no response.

He was even more worried about Shirley now, so he returned to the bedroom, wanting to see if he could find any clues on her whereabouts.

Standing in the bedroom, Skyler carefully observed every detail in the room, but he didn't find any signs of struggle.

Where has she gone off to?

Just as he was pondering, he noticed the wardrobe shifting slightly.

He furrowed his brows and glanced at the ashtray on the bedside table. He picked it up, held it in his hand, and walked slowly toward the wardrobe.

Standing next to the wardrobe, he listened quietly for any movement inside. When he heard no sound, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the door, drawing it open abruptly.

"Ah!"

A sharp scream came from inside.

Only then did Skyler see Shirley crouched in a corner of the wardrobe, her head buried between her knees as she trembled.

The ashtray in Skyler's hand fell to the ground with a thud. He grabbed Shirley's arm and pulled her out, saying, "Shirley, it's me!"

Terrified, Shirley looked up and saw Skyler standing there. She hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest as she cried silently.

When Shirley threw herself into his arms, Skyler finally noticed that she was soaked with sweat, and her back was drenched.

Seeing Shirley's pitiful appearance stirred up Skyler's protective instincts. For some reason, his throat tightened, and his heart ached.

He beat himself up for it, thinking he shouldn't have deliberately teased Shirley earlier that night. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been scared to this extent.

"Silly girl, don't be afraid. I'm here."

He held her waist with one hand and gently ran his fingers through her hair, comforting her continuously.

"So, it was you who came in. You scared me..."
