NovelEnglishAt that moment, she realized she always called Tobias either Tobias or Mr. Ford.
After the call ended, Skylar muttered with a hint of displeasure in her tone, “A woman is calling you late
at night, and she’s talking to you so intimately, too. Although I’m no one of yours, you can’t pretend as if
I’m not in the room.”
Tobias touched her lips and replied, “Just an old friend. Don’t take it to heart. Shall we continue?”
Lying down on the bed, Skylar said, “My passion died when I heard Tobi.”
Tobias then pulled the blanket away and exposed Skylar’s body to the air. His hand trailed down the
side of her body as he murmured, “Are you a dog? Why is your hearing that good?”
By the time Tobias saw Idania again, ten years had passed.
Idania had never thought that Tobias had not changed his number in ten years. When she made the
call, she did not have high hopes for him to pick up. Yet, it was Tobias who took the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the two met again, the moment felt awkward. However, unlike her, it seemed like Tobias was
completely unaffected, for he still looked calm as ever. He still looked like the same man in her
memories.
“How have you been?” Idania’s voice was as gentle as it always was.
With one hand twirling a cigarette, Tobias replied, “Neither good nor bad. It’s just life as always.”
Idania raised her head to look at him. Tobias was Ford Group’s CEO. Life as usual was an
understatement for the great life he was having.
That was the Tobias she knew. No matter how great he was, he never gloated about it. He always kept
a low profile.
Idania thought she would have many things she wanted to talk to Tobias about. Yet, only when they
met, then did she realize what it meant to feel reserved and fearful.
“I heard you’re getting married soon. I didn’t get the chance to congratulate you.”
“The engagement has been called off,” came Tobias’ reply.
Almost immediately, delight was in Idania’s eyes. “You’re single now? Why did you change your mind
so suddenly?”
“I’m not single. I have someone I’m dating.”
Bitterness rose in Idania’s heart upon hearing his response. In the end, Tobias has forgotten about our
promise. I’m afraid I’m the only one who’s trying to cling to that promise of ours.
Forcing a smile on her face, she said, “I’m not going to leave this time; I’m planning to stay here.”
Tobias did not know where Idania had been all these years, but he was not interested in asking what
her plans would be either. To him, she was just a small part of his life, and he felt that her plan was part
of her privacy.
Tobias knew her well. Idania was someone who planned out almost every part of her life, and she knew
what she wanted. Back then, he was evidently not included in her plans.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSubconsciously, he would compare Skylar and Idania. Skylar lived her life somewhat in a daze, and
she took everything one step at a time.
That was something Tobias did not like.
Right then, the server brought a plate of foie gras with cherry to their table. The color was a beautiful
creamy white.
Idania took a small piece, but just as she raised the fork to her lips, she lowered her arm.
Softly, she said, “I can’t finish all of it. I’m on a diet. Is it okay if you take half of it?”
It was then Tobias recalled that Idania had always been like that. She always gave him half of her food,
and she always fed him the food.
Lifting a brow, he smiled. “Do you still need to be on diet with that figure of yours?”
“Do I not?” Idania raised her head and puffed up her chest. “Which parts of me do you think have
changed?”
Tobias only smiled in response. Idania had barely changed. Time had barely left its mark on her, and
the only thing she gained was a stronger sense of feminine maturity.
She was smart, and she knew how to tease him.
