Chapter 26
Having been with Tobias for so long, she had explicitly hinted countless times that she wanted something intimate to happen between them.
But Tobias would refuse every time, so they had never done anything intimate, not even a hug.
She had asked him why he didn’t want to touch her on several occasions.
Tobias’ answer was straightforward, “I can’t get it up.”
His words might be able to deceive some innocent young girls, but they were not convincing enough for her.
She already got someone to investigate Tobias and found that he had many sexual partners outside.
Nonetheless, she didn’t take these things to heart as she believed that he was just fooling around with them. At the end of the day, she would be the one that married Tobias.
Tanya paced before the door of the study for a long time.
The butler saw and walked up to her. “Ms. Hanson, Mr. Ford has already gone out, so he’s not in the study anymore.”
The look in Tanya’s eyes was filled with anger as she took a deep breath and asked, “Where did he go? It’s already so late.”
“That’s something we’re not supposed to ask,” replied the butler.
At the same time, Skylar heard the clattering sound of iron gates, accompanied by the sound of a car engine being switched off, coming from the garden.
Walking to the window, Skylar saw Tobias’ tall silhouette in the dark.
He often makes unexpected appearances, doesn’t he?
As he gradually approached, Skylar felt her heart start to race.
It happens to be the end of my period today. Is he here because of this?
Standing in front of the dressing table, she deliberately ruffled her hair to make it messy like a madman’s.
She then poured half a cup of coffee on her clothes, leaving coffee stains all over her pajamas.
If she were a man, she would definitely not be interested when she saw such a woman.
At the same time, Laura was also very busy as she turned off the TV in the living room and quickly cleaned the fruit peels on the coffee table.
When Tobias came in, she had already stood respectfully at the door to greet him.
Since Skylar came, her life had become increasingly difficult as she did not know if Tobias would make a surprise attack in the middle of the night.
When she took care of the villa alone, she had a free and happy life.
Just then, Skylar walked downstairs in her dirty pajamas while also wearing a pair of super nerdy, black- rimmed glasses.
Her skin that was originally fair had now become dark.
When Tobias saw Skylar looking like this, he was obviously stunned.
Skylar scratched her leg and said loudly, “You’re here!”
After which, she let out a guffaw.
With a slightly indifferent look on his face, Tobias glanced at her. “You even dressed up to see me?”
Skylar scratched her hair. “This is how I usually look like. I look ugly without makeup on, right?”
“Do you think I’m stupid? Go to the bathroom now and wash yourself up,” Tobias instructed.
Skylar looked up at him, nearly losing it.
Without a choice, she returned to the room slowly, while Tobias followed behind her, like a beast that was about to get angry.
“You have ten minutes. I’ll go in if you don’t come out.”
His words shattered Skylar’s hope of trying to stall for time.
Listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom, Tobias glanced around the bedroom.
He saw a notebook that Skylar left on the bed. It looked old with the poster of an old movie on the cover.
Sitting down by the bed, he began to flick through it carelessly.
Soon after that, he paused at the last page of her notebook, and it seemed like her budget tracker, her cursive handwriting beautiful and neat.
Croissant and soy milk – 10
Yogurt – 3
Phone bills – 10 Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Loan to ex-classmate – 38
Balance – 253
The numbers left Tobias speechless.
Looking at these measly figures, he thought that it was cute. Unconsciously, a faint smile that he hadn’t even noticed tugged at his lips right that moment.
