Sheldon answered with no hesitation. “Of course I am. She’s the kindest and prettiest girl I’ve ever met.
She has a heart for stray dogs and will cry whenever she sees any homeless animal on the street.
Though she doesn’t have a wealthy family, she’s diligent and ambitious.”
Skylar fell silent after hearing his reply. Alright, I’d better not meddle in their relationship. Sheldon has
every right to love Winnie, even though I dislike her.
“By the way, since she has a humble family background, will Mrs. Ford be okay with it if you bring her
home?” Skylar brought up the key issue in their relationship.
Her question killed two birds with one stone, even though she was close to giving up. Claudia’s attitude
means nothing to me, since I’m not going to marry Tobias, so she and I will never be a family.
Tobias looked over his shoulder at Skylar. Resting her chin on her hands, she smiled at him. ”Don’t
worry, I’m not planning on anything. I’m simply curious about it.”

girlfriend for the first time. Shaking his head, he brushed those scary images in his mind aside.
Afterward, Tobias asked his brother to pull over by the road. Skylar couldn’t help but gulp at the sight
of the taco food truck by the roadside.
There’s nothing more enjoyable than having a beef taco when I’m starving in the middle of the night.
Sheldon got out of the car after the couple and took a seat beside Skylar. As Tobias went to order their
food, the woman reminded him that she didn’t want any cilantro in her taco.
“Are you close to Winnie? She’s an innocent and straightforward person, so she’s still a kid and can be
ignorant sometimes. Please take care of her, alright?” Sheldon’s lips twitched up instinctively when he
talked about his girlfriend.
Skylar remembered clearly about Tobias’ opinion of his brother. Tobias described Sheldon as all brawn
and no brain, and he’s born half-witted. At that time, I felt that Tobias was being too harsh to judge his
own brother this way. Now I’m convinced that Tobias is right. Otherwise, how could he say that Winnie
is still a kid when she’s two years elder than me?
Skylar said with a smile, ”I’m no better than her. Perhaps you should ask your girlfriend to take care of
me too.”
Sheldon chewed on her words. A few seconds later, he nodded in agreement. “You’re right. You both
should take care of each other. Winnie is really hardworking. I asked her why she put so much effort
into her work, only then I knew she did so to buy a new house for her parents. She and her parents are
still living in a house smaller than two hundred square feet. I really want to help her, but she has been
very lucky. If my brother hadn’t cut me off financially, I would’ve bought a new house for her without a
second thought.”
Skylar gave him a smile without uttering a word. I wish he will stay poor so that Winnie wouldn’t be able
to swindle a new house out of him.

reminded Tobias not to put any of it in her taco. Once again, her words fell on deaf ears.
“I said no cilantro. This is what I hate eating the most. I remember telling you twice about it,” Skylar
complained.
“Don’t be picky,” Tobias asked.
Having no other choice, Skylar picked the cilantro out of her taco piece by piece, while Sheldon
watched her with a sympathetic gaze.
My brother is indeed a male chauvinist. He’s so accustomed to being superior, that he rarely sees
things from others’ perspectives. And that makes him headstrong and high-handed.
In the end, Skylar put hot sauce all over her taco, while the two men prefer having theirs just like that.
After dinner, Sheldon sent the couple home. Before leaving, he asked his brother when the bar will be
ready.
“Tomorrow,” Tobias replied briefly.
The second Skylar stepped through the door, the man pulled her into his arms before they
could change their clothes.
