Since Lina had come prepared, Skylar was left with no choice but to bring her home that day.
As they walked out of the mall, Lina spotted Tobias in the parking basement from a distance away. He seems so
near yet so far and unattainable.
She would never tell Skylar the reason why she resigned.
Ever since he brought Skylar to the massage parlor, he had never visited there again. What’s the point of staying at
that place when I know that he won’t be showing up anymore? If I continue to stay there, I’ll just be like an
abandoned dock that will never have any ship to anchor.
I want to make myself better, in the hopes that he will notice me one day.
Although Skylar had accepted Lina’s request to stay together with them, she still needed to ask for Tobias’
permission. “Do you mind letting my friend stay with us for a few days?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe shrugged without making any remark. I don’t care much for Skylar’s social circle. Besides, it’s good that she has
a friend to chat with whenever she feels lonely.
Once they were back, the three of them got out of the car together and headed inside the house.
Tobias walked in front of them with the keys dangling on his fingers with Skylar and Lina following behind him.
Even when he saw that Lina needed help to carry her heavy luggage, he did not even offer to help, which was
typical behavior for Tobias—he was unchivalrous.
Seeing the lavishly decorated villa in front of her, Lina was green with envy. Even the air smells good in this house.
Compared to the slum I’m residing at, this villa is more suitable for me.
Later on, Skylar showed her to the guest room, saying that all the things inside were brand new.
Lina hugged Skylar and buried her head into the crook of her neck, pretending to be touched. “I won’t stay here for
too long. After everything is settled, I’ll definitely move out after some time.”
Skylar smiled and said nothing in reply. Previously, she said she was just going to stay for a few days. Why is she
saying she’s going to live here for a period of time now?
After welcoming the guest to the house, she did not get any rest. Instead, she went straight to the kitchen to
prepare a meal.
Tobias was going to stay the night, so Skylar decided to cook a few vegetarian dishes for him as she knew that he
did not enjoy eating meat.
Meanwhile, Tobias and Lina were in the living room. While he watched television with his legs crossed, she could not
help but stare at him with her burning gaze. We’re even closer now.
Oh my, look at his long legs. Even when he’s sitting, he still looks perfectly poised and graceful. What does it feel
like to be in this man’s embrace?
Due to their social class difference, it was impossible for Lina to meet Tobias by chance. Thus, she had no choice
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut to coax Skylar to let her live here so that she could see the man she had been longing for.
Besides, Lina thought living in the villa with Skylar was much better than staying at her own place.
As they stayed in the warm, quiet house, the weather outside was gloomy and windy. After a while, Lina suddenly
heard Skylar’s voice from the television.
It was a commercial for MM Beans, and Skylar appeared on the screen for about ten seconds.
“Skylar is very pretty nowadays, but I remember she was quite unattractive when we were in high school. I guess
an ugly duckling can really become a beautiful swan. Many of our ex-classmates also joked around, saying that she
had gone under the knife to become prettier,” Lina said, intending for Tobias to hear it.
However, he heard none of it as he had left his seat and gone to the kitchen.
Over on the other side, Skylar was still busy in the kitchen. She was washing vegetables robotically at the sink. She
hung her head low and stared blankly at the running water of the faucet, seemingly distracted and troubled.
Seeing the frown on her, Tobias went forward and hugged her waist from behind. “Let’s hire a housekeeper, Skylar.
I can’t help you much in the kitchen. Why do you want to do house chores when we can hire a housekeeper?”
She turned around to face him and winked. “It’s fun to prepare a meal, especially for the ones I love. The way to a
man’s heart was through his stomach.”
