“Hey, watch it! Who are you calling an animal, huh?” Wesley chided him angrily.
“If you don’t like hearing such a thing, then you shouldn’t do something so revolting.” Tobias had a
chilling look in his eyes as he said that.
Before coming over, Skylar had planned to talk with Wesley about what to do after her mother was
released from prison.
Her mother was her only family now, but Wesley did not like her as she was not close with him. Still, her
mother was his sister.
But now, she had seen through it. Wesley wanted nothing to do with them at all.
She leaned weakly in Tobias’ arms, realizing that it was indeed better to have a man around.
If she were here all by herself, she would not know how to face it.
Skylar said disappointingly, “Let’s go. Anyway, sorry for disturbing you guys. I won’t come over anymore.”
When Tobias noticed the factory uniform worn by Wesley, a mysterious smile appeared on his face. “I
only hope that one day, you won’t kneel on the ground and beg her.”
Wesley disliked Skylar’s new boyfriend whose speech and presence were intimidating.
He assumed that Tobias must be a middle-level manager as the latter exuded an aura.
Meanwhile, Sharon replied mockingly, “Beg her? What nonsense are you spouting? Anyway, Skylar, Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
don’t be upset. Your mother hates you so much, and yet you still treat her like this.”
Skylar’s blood boiled when she heard what her aunt had said.
“How I treat my mom is none of your business. I shouldn’t have come today,” she said through her gritted
teeth.
Having wasted her time coming here, she felt her heart sank the moment she left the old house.
In fact, she had been in a bad mood since yesterday.
Looking at Skylar, who appeared as if she had lost her soul, Tobias handed her a cigarette.
Skylar, who didn’t know how to smoke, pushed it away and turned him down.
“Don’t worry about your mom’s medical fees. As long as you continue to be with me, I’ll take care of her.”
Skylar suddenly broke into a smile. He’s still the same as he’s always been.
He offers to help, but it always comes with conditions, leaving me like a puppet with strings forever
bound to the puppet master.
Skylar asked, “What if we separate?”
“You and I are still inseparable for the time being. Our relationship can last longer if it becomes one that
serves each other’s needs,” asserted Tobias.
Upon learning that Tobias wanted to maintain their relationship for a long time, Skylar was upset.
Girls her age were having a rich and colorful life by attending universities and having fun.
Yet, she still needed to serve her sugar daddy. After being with Tobias, the most exciting part of her life
was the nightlife on her bed.
“Deal,” She said while leaving a thumbprint on the window of Tobias’ car. “Can you pick up my mother for
me? I don’t want her to see me.”
Her request surprised Tobias.
He even wondered if she kept a distance from her mother because the latter was a prisoner.
After sending Skylar back to her campus, he received calls after calls from Tanya.
He had long blacklisted her phone number.
If she could not take it anymore, she could just get another number to contact him.
She often bombarded him with persistent calls and texts every few other days.
When Tobias reached his house feeling exhausted, he was stopped by Claudia at the door.
“What have you been up to lately, Tobias? You didn’t come back for several nights.”
Tobias took off his jacket and handed it to the butler. “I’m not a minor, Mom. Don’t you feel a little
awkward asking me this?”
