Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 546 Make Her Pay âShut up if you canât say nice things.â Matthewâs expression sank, and he shot a cold gaze at Caleb. Just that one look managed to make Caleb break out in cold sweat.
âI was just saying. Donât take it personally.â Caleb rubbed his nose and as a glint flashed across his clear eyes, he leaned in to Matthew and whispered in his ear, âWomen are all sentimental beings. You can definitely make her yours if you get her pregnant.â
After saying that, Caleb even proudly wiggled his eyebrows at Matthew as the former made another confident remark. âIt is a conclusion I got from experience.â
Matthew, who was standing as straight as a pole, crossed his arms in front of his chest, his nonchalant gaze falling on Caleb. âExperience from being single for 30 years, you mean?â
The smile on Calebâs face disappeared in that instant, and he rolled his eyes before falling silent. So they say the best way to kill a man is by killing his soul, he sighed.
Right then, Veronica came out of the lounge with her arm around Shirley. The women then stood in front of Caleb. Veronicaâs fair face looked slightly irritated as she demanded, âI am bringing her home.
Please find out what you can. Shirley is one of my people. Anyone who hurt her will have to pay!â
Shirley couldnât help feeling touched by how they had each otherâs back.
Sniffling, she burst into tears again. âYou are so nice to me, Ron.â
Even though they werenât related by blood, Veronica felt like a real sister to Shirley. With that, Shirley had become even more determined to repay Veronica in hundredfold.
After hearing Veronicaâs words, Caleb mumbled, âUmâ¦â
He tilted his head to look at Matthew, only to feel the corners of his lips twitch when he saw how Matthewâs attention was on Veronica alone.
As expected, Caleb sighed again. What is a bro compared to a woman?
âAlright, I will make sure Skyler gives you an explanation,â he answered her perfectly.
After that, he walked the three of them out of the police station, and only walked back in after the sedan was no longer in his peripheral.
âFweet!â
A whistle that sounded from behind immediately stopped him in his tracks. When he turned his head, he was greeted by the sight of a âfully armoredâ man in black casual clothes, black cap, sunglasses and mask. The man was plastered to the automatic sliding door as he greeted Caleb.
It was safe to say the man was acting like a weirdo.
As a policeman, Caleb could feel his senses telling him that there was something wrong with the man.
Could he be a crime suspect who is here to give himself up?
âWho are you?â
As the only visible parts of the man were the parts above his waist as he stealthily stuck himself to the door, Caleb didnât recognize him at first glance.
It was only until he stood in front of the man, and the man had taken off his sunglasses that he recognized it was Skyler.
âGeez, you didnât even recognize me? I should probably call you Mr. Visual Impairment instead of Caleb.â He jumpily glanced left and right as he spoke.
âHow am I supposed to recognize you when you are wrapped like a mummy?â
Caleb put his hands in his pockets and subconsciously switched on the demeanor of a police officer as he demanded, âWhy canât I get through to your phone? Your woman had Shirley beaten up. Matt and Veronica have just left. You had better give them an explanation.â
âDuh. I wouldnât have the guts to come out if they hadnât left.â As Skyler spoke, he put his sunglasses back on. âI came here to let you know that I have to stay out of the publicâs eye for now.â
âWhat âpublic eyeâ are you talking about? Donât tell me you got into trouble.â
âOf course I am going to hide from Sofia.â Skyler shook his head and sighed. âWhy do you think she beat up Shirley? It is because I am close to Shirley. Also, she is using such a cruel method to force me to appear since I have been hiding from her ever since she came back.â
Hearing that, Caleb let a chuckle slip. âYou used to love her to death back then, but now you are hiding from her when she is looking for you.â
âHmph! She was the one who dumped me and yet, she is looking for me now. Why would I spend time to meet her?â
As Skyler huffed, he took a cigarette out of his pocket and lightly nibbled the butt. He then lit the other end and puffed away.
He didnât give Caleb one as he knew that the police officer wasnât allowed to smoke during working hours.
Skyler then added, âWhat the hell does she think I am for her to come and go as she please?â
Calebâs phone began to ring at that point.
âLet me take this call,â he threw out while pressing the accept button.
âWho is this?â
âHello, Mr. Caleb. It is Yenna here. Um⦠Have you seen Skye?â In fact, Sofia was the one asking from the other end of the call.
Sofia had stayed abroad for years, and had changed her number after she came back. That was why Caleb didnât know that she was the one calling.
Hearing that, Caleb looked at Skyler and intentionally repeated, âYou are looking for Skyler?â
