NovelEnglishTobias felt exasperated, wondering when he had been reduced to a state where he had to discuss
about love with this trash. With a haughty expression, he ordered in a disdainful tone, “You can leave
now and stop harassing my girlfriend. If I catch you doing it again, you might very well be the one
burning.”
Jackson was so petrified that goosebumps covered his whole body. Reluctant to give up on Skylar, he
expressed his devotion, “I will wait until Skylar accepts me. The two of you won’t last long.”
Tobias looked at him with amusement and chuckled. “You should look in the mirror before going after a
woman. Don’t overestimate yourself. Even if I’m no longer with her one day, her body and soul will still
belong to me.”
Meanwhile, Avery stood in front of her bedroom window with blazing eyes. Tobias sent Skylar back.
This means they’re still together.
When Skylar saw Avery standing by the window, she guessed that she had already seen Tobias.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing the door creak, Avery turned around but stayed silent for quite some time. After coming
to terms with reality, she forced herself to smile at Skylar. “Skylar, you’re back. Have you packed your
luggage?”
Skylar was slightly stunned since Avery had never spoken to her in such a gentle tone after so many
years of knowing each other.
She asked blandly, “What do you want? Since when did you care so much about me?”
No matter how reluctant Avery was, she had no choice but to be nice to Skylar for the meantime as per
her father’s orders. The company had an abandoned project. If it were not resumed, they would face
bankruptcy. The only one who could help them now was Skylar.
Avery put her ego aside and smiled gently. “It was all my fault last time. I always felt like you were
going to take my father away from me. I admit that I was young and ignorant. Dad heard that you’re
going to film soon, so he wants you over for dinner tomorrow. He’s going to prepare your favorite food.”
However, Skylar refused flatly, not wanting to be involved with the Joneses whatsoever. With a curl of
her lips, she replied, “Forget it. I grew up eating cheap food. I’m not used to the lavish lifestyle all of you
have.”
Avery already expected such a response from Skylar. She blinked innocently as she explained, “Your
mother will also be there tomorrow. Dad visited her at the hospital today. She’s recovering well and will
be discharged soon. The meal tomorrow is also to celebrate your mother’s recovery.”
Ever since Miranda was hospitalized, Skylar had only seen her once, but even that one time was when
she was sedated.
Skylar was terrified of Miranda. She could still remember the day she visited her mother in prison when
she was thirteen years old. Miranda had screamed hysterically at her, “Why did I give birth to a
daughter like you? You ruined everything for me!”
Miranda even told Skylar to get out of her sight and never come again. That visit had greatly

To this day, Skylar still could not understand why Miranda hated her so much. She had even asked her
grandmother about it before.
But her grandmother had only given her a piece of advice. No matter what, she’s still your mother and
the person who gave you life, so you must never give up.
Even at that moment, Skylar could still clearly remember her grandmother’s words and her own
promise to never abandon Miranda if she were released one day.
Skylar did not immediately agree to Avery’s request. Instead, she ran to the corridor and called Tobias.
The call was only picked up after a long time.
“Why are you calling me this late? Miss me already?” His voice was deep and husky as usual, but it
was laced with a hint of sleepiness.
“It’s about my mother. Is she still at the hospital?” Skylar’s hand tightened around her phone as she
awaited Tobias’ answer.
