Chapter 45
Tobias finished taking his shower when a fragrant aroma wafted over from the coffee table in the living room.
In the meantime, Skylar sat on the carpeted floor with a huge glass bowl on the table.
Then, using a fork, she unhesitatingly proceeded to slurp her noodles.
Such a sight was eye-opening to Tobias. All this while, none of the women who dined with him had ever eaten this way.
They always said they were full after a few bites of salad or dared not even open their mouths.
Yet, Skylar nearly had her entire face in the bowl.
Watching Tobias stare at her as though she were a freak, Skylar got up and headed into the kitchen. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Then, she swiftly grabbed another fork, walked over to Tobias’ side, and handed it to him. “I can give you some of my food if that’s what you want. There are two eggs in here, and the fork is clean. I haven’t used it.”
Skylar emphasized the last sentence. She knew Tobias was a germaphobe, so there was no way he would use someone else’s fork.
It would be a struggle for someone like him to enjoy shared dishes. He surely wouldn’t be able to withstand having to taste another person’s spit.
To her surprise, Tobias grabbed the fork and casually tossed it into Skylar’s bowl. “It doesn’t matter even if you’ve used the fork. It’s not like I haven’t kissed you everywhere.”
He spoke nonchalantly, but his words made Skylar flush a deep red all the way to her ears.
She touched her face and silently reminded herself to calm down.
“If you want to eat, you should be eating at the dining table. What’s with your weird habit of eating at a coffee table?” Tobias remarked, like a grown adult lecturing a child.
Having a strong desire to stay out of trouble, Skylar hurriedly carried her bowl of noodles to the dining table.
She began to wonder if Tobias was a Virgo. Why is he so nitpicky?
Yet, the man wasn’t this particular in bed. He would always kiss and bite on her.
Why does he have a problem with me eating at the coffee table? Isn’t this what youngsters do? Or should I stand up and eat instead?
Shouldn’t it be fine as long as I’m not eating while lying in bed?
Still, Skylar proceeded to eat at the dining table and no longer tried to ask Tobias if he wanted some too.
She calmly slurped on her noodles even as she heard Tobias’ phone ring non-stop.
Skylar pointed to her lips, meaning to ask Tobias if she needed to be quiet. It would be a disaster if the man’s fiancée called and found out that there was another woman next to him.
However, Tobias ignored her, indicating that it didn’t matter what she did or didn’t do.
He then turned off his phone and tossed it on the couch.
The next day, Skylar woke up to find that Tobias had left, although she didn’t know when.
She casually opened her drawer and took out a morning-after pill that she had bought prior.
It was said that this pill was harmful to a woman’s body and should not be taken more than three times a year.
Skylar frowned as she counted silently in her head. This is… the third time.
She then remembered how Tobias had asked her if she wanted a child last night while they were both drenched in sweat. If you have my child, everything will be solved.
Skylar shuddered as she recalled his words.
How dumb would I be to have his child? Wouldn’t the child only end up being cooped up inside the villa with me? They won’t even get to be a legitimate child!
Then, I’d just end up being a single mother and raise the child on my own.
Upon hearing the doorbell rang, Laura pretended not to hear anything.
She was a totally different person whenever Tobias wasn’t around – a complete sluggard.
Skylar put on her pink, fluffy indoor slippers and headed downstairs to answer the door, thinking that Tobias had come back for something he had forgotten.
“Hello, Ms. Jones. I’m Tobias’ mother, Claudia Stokes. Can I come in?”
