Chapter 560
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: maroon-colored shoulder-length hair.
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 Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
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?
