NovelEnglishTo be in a relationship with a married man wasn’t something that felt natural to her.
Meanwhile, she noticed that many people were staring at Tobias.
Although the film academy did not lack handsome guys and pretty ladies, Tobias’ looks could easily put
many guys to shame.
He plainly replied, “Against your conscience? Why do you say that? We’re not harming anyone by
being together. Besides, I kind of like you too.”
Skylar ignored Tobias’ first confession in his entire life.
She put down her fork and asserted in a low voice, “I don’t want to be involved in your marriage.
Furthermore, you are going to be a father soon. I hope I have made it clear enough.”
Tobias realized then that Skylar had believed what Tanya said. The latter had told Skylar he was going
to marry her because she was pregnant.
With his arms folded, he stared at Skylar’s pained expression quietly.

“Give me some time to deal with all these problems and provide you with an explanation. Whatever
happened that day will not be repeated.”
Skylar shook her head and decided to be honest with Tobias. “I still have a long road ahead of me. How
long can I afford to wait? You’re rich and powerful, so you can afford to do whatever you please.
However, I’m not the same. I want to return to living an ordinary life. You don’t have to explain yourself
to me. Just go home and explain it to your wife.”
Tobias’ expression darkened. “That’s not what was written in the contract. Have you forgotten who
gave you everything you have now? Leaving me is not going to be as easy as returning a card or a
necklace.”
As if Tobias were strangling her again, Skylar felt like she could hardly breathe.
“At most, I’ll stop studying. It doesn’t matter if you condemn me or even sue me for breaking the
contract.”
Skylar’s destructive attitude infuriated Tobias further.
When she saw Tobias had nothing further to say, Skylar left with her food. She didn’t even touch the
steak he bought her.
Tobias stared at the steak that was already cold. She didn’t even notice I’ve prepared this for her on
purpose…
Before he came, Tobias made a trip to the restaurant which he had visited with Skylar.
He still remembered that she loved the steak there and bought it for her on purpose.
Before she left, Skylar bought a smoothie with her cafeteria card. As the lady preparing it wasn’t in a
good mood, she accidentally added too much sugar.
It was so sweet that it caused her tooth to ache.
Meanwhile, Tobias followed her but kept his distance.
Despite being thirty, Tobias was as dashing as ever. Even the lady working at the cafeteria couldn’t
help but steal a glance at him.
Skylar hated the feeling of being watched.
When she checked the balance on her card, there were only six eighty left, and it caught Tobias’
attention.
Just when Skylar was poking a straw into her smoothie, Tobias used the opportunity to pick the card
out from her pocket. “What are you doing with my card? I still have to use it tomorrow.”

the card?”
Tobias had seen the few students queuing in front of him load their cards with two hundred, which he
felt was too little.
The staff replied in a mechanical tone, “I don’t know.”
However, the staff’s robotic expression changed drastically when Tobias wanted to load a hundred
thousand in it.
After working in the cafeteria for so many years, it was her first time encountering someone who
wanted to deposit so much into the card.
What sort of family is this?
After reloading her card, Tobias put it back into Skylar’s pocket. “Even when I’m not around, you
shouldn’t live so miserably. Treat yourself better.”
Skylar stared at Tobias for a while. “Why are you being so nice to me? But then again, this is probably
normal for you. After all, money is just a number to you.”
