The atmosphere in the car began to feel tense. Obviously, Skylar didn’t dare to cheat on Tobias as she
was well aware that his threats were serious.
Skylar had not seen Tobias since the night he stormed off. Now that he had come to pick her up, she
figured it might be because he was looking for sex.
Tobias was naturally worried that she would have that impression. Meanwhile, he had brought her to
his house. Ever since he got together with Skylar, he seldom returned here. Before they entered, he
emphasized, “Tonight, we’ll not be sleeping with each other, so you can put a stop to your preposterous
thoughts.”
Skylar took a deep breath as she could sense the mood he was in. Despite not knowing where she
was, she could deduce the identity of the owner from the cold and minimalistic design of the place.
After all, Tobias loved cool colors. Bouncing off the light gray walls, the white lights shining above their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheads gave off a frosty vibe.
“This is where I used to stay. I haven’t returned here in a long time because of you.”
“What do you mean because of me? I have never forbidden you from coming and neither have I
restricted your freedom.” Crossing her legs on the sofa, Skylar scanned the surroundings. Just from the
living hall alone, there were no traces of a woman’s existence.
“Do you know why I have fallen for you? Because I feel comfortable when I’m with you, regardless of
whether we’re in bed or not. Therefore, despite knowing that we aren’t compatible with each other, I
have never ended our relationship. In fact, I have been thinking about how to maintain it for the long
term.”
As this was the first time Tobias bared his soul to Skylar, he didn’t expect her to understand all of it. He
just wanted them to stop arguing.
Over the last two days, Skylar had calmed down a lot. Gazing deep into his eyes, she took a step
closer to Tobias. As both their noses touched, he could feel her warm fragrant breath all over his face.
“Are you apologizing to me? Or are you trying to justify the situation? There’s a big difference between
the two.”
Tobias stared intently at her. “Apologize. I shouldn’t have sat at the same table with a matchmaking
candidate. Going forward, I’ll be more careful about situations that involve the opposite sex. I’ll make
sure you won’t be upset by this again.”
When he lifted her chin, he could see that her eyes were reddened. At the moment, she looked both
puzzled and aggrieved.
She knew how difficult it was to get an apology out of him.
How much is one willing to compromise for love? Suppressing her tears, a gentle smile emerged on
her face. Tobias must have feelings for me. After all, he didn’t get me to compromise this time.
“I’m clear today. Do you have any plans?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaking her intentions known, her gaze was filled with anticipation.
Tobias smiled. “Since I said we won’t be doing it today, I will keep my word. Or else, you will have the
impression that all I want is sex from you. Tonight, you should stay here. We will only go back
tomorrow.”
Skylar locked her arms around his waist. “And yet, I was thinking of staying here longer. Is it only for
one night?”
“This place isn’t equipped for ladies. So, it will be inconvenient for you. Or, if you really want, you can
bring your luggage and stay here.” That was Tobias’ biggest compromise.
He had brought Skylar into his personal space. It was also something he had not done before.
He teased with a gentle voice, “Now that my nest has been discovered by you, you can easily find me
whenever we quarrel.”
“I won’t be looking for you. You will come home whenever you feel like it.” Skylar was too stubborn to
admit it.
