When Skylar heard Madelyn’s preposterous excuse after being caught using her skincare products, she couldn’t
help but burst into laughter before giving the leftover cream to Madelyn. After all, she didn’t like sharing something
so personal.
At that moment, she realized that the number of little quirks she had seemed to have picked up. She had forgotten
that she used to wear hand-me-downs from Eva. Moreover, she never had a pair of new shoes, let alone clothes.
Upon entering the house, the living hall was in a mess. The sofa cushion had fallen onto the floor while the leftovers
from her morning breakfast were still on the coffee table. Furthermore, the trash can was full as no one had taken
it out.
After throwing the breakfast away, Tobias took out a napkin and wiped the oil stains off the table.
Meanwhile, Skylar came back downstairs after getting changed. Taking off her hat, she revealed her new hairstyle:

Her goddess-like side bangs were now replaced by air bangs. When she wasn’t wearing makeup, Skylar would look
even younger. Only then did Tobias noticed that she changed her hairdo.
“Did you confront Idania? Why did you do that?” Tobias looked at her intently.
Tobias didn’t approve of Skylar’s new look. He felt that it was too young and girly. Therefore, they would look out of
place standing together.
Don’t I look like an uncle standing next to my niece? All this while, Tobias was not bothered by the difference in age.
But this time, he was concerned by it.
Fidgeting with her hair, Skylar felt uncomfortable with its awkward length. She replied, “No wonder you called me so
many times. Are you trying to interrogate me? However, I don’t think what I did was wrong. Your hate people who
like to express their jealousy. Unfortunately, I have become one of them.”
Skylar wasn’t sincere in her admission at all. She gave Tobias a cursory response and didn’t intend to dwell on the
details.
Opening the window to get some fresh air, the cool night breeze blew across her exquisite-looking face.
Tobias looked displeased. “Since you obviously know I don’t like it, why must you insist on doing it? Also, are you
having dinner with that guy just because you wanted to get on my nerves as revenge?”
Suddenly, Skylar realized that Tobias’ impression of her was that she was someone childish.
She didn’t want to tell him what she saw James for. After all, it was a trivial matter that she didn’t want to bother
Tobias with. It was better left to the police.
“I didn’t. I was just catching up with an old friend from school. Anyway, can you tell me how your ex ended up
accusing me of bullying her in front of you?”
Tobias’ expression was grim as his deep gaze met with Skylar’s clear eyes.

The next moment, Tobias stood up and headed upstairs, as if there was nothing to explain. As the dim light shone
on his back, it made him look exceptionally cold.
Skylar tsked in frustration. She had wanted to discuss the matter calmly with Tobias but instead, he walked away in
the middle of their talk.
With such an attitude, he would never have been able to get a girlfriend if he were any poorer or uglier.
Closing her eyes, she leaned against the sofa. She was totally exhausted. She didn’t want to go to bed early, as she
would just be walking into the lion’s den, allowing Tobias to have his way with her.
After all, men could always separate sex from emotions. No matter how angry Tobias was, he would still remove
her clothes to satisfy his desire. After that, he would continue giving her the cold shoulder as if nothing had
happened.
She had expected Tobias to be furious at her for going to see Idania. After all, no one was able to control that
temper of his. In fact, if she had insulted his precious Idania, he would insist on her to apologize to Idania at once.
However, Tobias’ reaction was a lot calmer than she expected. Ever since he entered the house, he had not said
anything nasty to her.
Can it be that I have overestimated her viciousness and that she didn’t go crying to Tobias?
