NovelEnglishSheldon did not greet her as enthusiastically as he usually did. Instead, he had a grave expression on
his face as he remained silent.
Skylar had never seen Sheldon that way before.
“Skylar’s thinking of having some seafood. You’re okay with that, right?”
In a sarcastic tone, Sheldon answered, “I thought we were going to have tacos, but it seems like
Skylar’s preferences are changing, huh? It seems like her tastebuds now crave better food.”
Skylar gave him a small smile. “I’m just worried that you might be upset about eating tacos with me all
the time. Won’t it demean your status as a rich man?”
Skylar knew why Sheldon was acting in this way; she knew Winnie must have said something to
Sheldon.
Glancing at Sheldon, Tobias uttered, “You should appreciate the fact that you’re getting to eat. Why are
you so picky?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheldon was in a foul mood. Ever since Skylar appeared, his place in his brother’s heart had been
plummeting.
Thus, he complained, “Tobias, can’t you be fairer? Stop acting bias toward Skylar. Skylar was mean to
my girlfriend, but you didn’t even bat an eyelash at it. Don’t you know how embarrassed I was in front
of Winnie?”
By then, the trio had arrived outside a Ferropenian restaurant.
Sheldon’s expression was as dark as the night, and it was as if he was a sulky child.
He kept complaining in the car, and Tobias ignored him the entire way.
Upon thinking about how Tobias looked down on her stingy ways, Skylar pursed her lips. She was not
one who did not mind troubling others.
When others treated her to a meal, she dared not order expensive dishes so that they would not need
to spend so much on her. She did the same even when the other person is a rich man.
However, under Sheldon’s watchful eyes, she ordered six plates of lobsters.
At that, Sheldon grunted, “Aren’t you afraid of getting a gout attack if you eat that much? You’ll get an
early death if you eat much more than others.”
Skylar furrowed her brows and uttered, “I’m still young. What does gout have anything to do with me?”
Sheldon then pointed at Tobias, who was pouring wine into his glass. “Your man’s old. You can’t just
think about yourself.”
Hearing him, Tobias narrowed his eyes and hissed, “None of my foot is in the grave yet.”
Putting one of the lobsters on his plate, Sheldon then said, “Tobias, my bar’s business is doing quite
well. Don’t you think you should reward me for it?”
In response, Tobias frowned. “It’s been so long, but you haven’t gotten much profit. Yet, you’re asking
me for a reward?”
Sheldon grumbled, “Your standards are too high. It’s already an improvement that I’m not losing any
money in my business. I want a house. I’ve recently fallen in love with a mountain villa. It’s not that
expensive. It’s only around fifty million.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo wonder Tobias looks down on my stingy ways. Fifty million is a lot to me, but it’s barely anything to
Sheldon.
No wonder others always talk about how you should marry someone of a similar status. If you’re born
into a different world, you think differently.
However, Skylar knew it would be a bad idea to have a falling out with Sheldon, so she did not voice
out loud about how the house he wanted must be for Winnie.
In the past, Winnie often talked about how she wanted to buy a house in the area for her parents in
interviews.
To her fans, she was a hardworking girl who wanted the best for her parents. Yet, Winnie was actually
hinting at Sheldon.
Skylar thought Sheldon was a playboy, but she now realized she was wrong. A man in love was a man
blind.
Hearing Tobias’ silence, Sheldon panicked and pleaded, “Tobias, just say yes to me. Look at how
hardworking and reliable I’ve been recently. I’ll be even more motivated with rewards.”
Skylar thought, Chances are, Tobias won’t say yes.
