Chapter 317
Kate would’ve believed in Skylar’s glorified statements if not for her absence of mind whenever Tobias
didn’t get in touch with her. The latter would always check her phone for texts or calls from Tobias.
Winnie arrived at the recording studio moments later, dressed in a down jacket with a revealing camisole
inside. Her choice of outfit—is she feeling warm or cold?
When Winnie saw Skylar, she greeted the latter warmly, implicitly acknowledging their “familial”
relationship.
Although they were both girlfriends to the Ford siblings, Skylar didn’t think it called for a close
relationship between the two women. Call me petty, but I still couldn’t get over the things she has done to
me!
“Given the chilly weather today, aren’t you worried about catching a cold by wearing so little?”
Despite Winnie’s dramatic tone, Skylar replied plainly, “Someone will pick me up later. So, I won’t catch a
cold.”
She didn’t bother to elaborate further either, appearing cold.
Before entering the recording studio, Winnie whipped out her phone and called Sheldon to complain.
Hearing that, Sheldon felt that Skylar didn’t show him any respect at all by ignoring Winnie. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hence, he began to feel exasperated. How dare she show such an attitude just because she has Tobias’
affection.
She knows that Winnie is my girlfriend, so why does she have to act so distant?
Sheldon could imagine how disappointed Winnie must have felt. Furthermore, he couldn’t bear to see
her ingratiate herself with someone who didn’t reciprocate.
Outside, it was just as Winnie had described. The temperature had dropped significantly at night while
the wind was bone-chilling cold. Skylar stood by the entrance for a very long time.
Skylar wasn’t waiting for Tobias to pick her up as she wasn’t expecting him.
After waiting in the brutal winter wind for more than ten minutes, she still couldn’t manage to hail a cab.
As her hands trembled in the cold, she took out her phone to order a Uber ride.
Upon arriving home, she saw Tobias standing by the door, dressed in a grey woolen sweater.
She had never seen him in such casual clothing before, and it made him look younger.
The moment they made eye contact, Tobias reprimanded, “Why didn’t you get someone to pick you up?
I’ve told you time and again—don’t take Uber, especially when you’re alone! Considering how gorgeous
my Baby looks, who knows what the driver might do to you? It’ll be too late for regrets by then!”
Despite how nice Tobias framed his words, Skylar had the urge to retort. Why didn’t he think of calling
me to see if I needed a driver?
However, she kept it to herself. Forget it! With him staying over is already good enough.
Skylar averted his gaze instead. “I will definitely fight him to the death to protect my chastity.”
Tobias smiled smugly. “You fool, if that happened, your survival is paramount. Don’t you know your
priorities?”
After changing her shoes, Skylar glanced at the house opposite. However, she didn’t see any lights at all.
Thomas and Miranda must be out.
Their debate on whether to prioritize her survival or integrity continued as they removed their shoes and
entered the house. The moment they were in, Tobias pinned her on the wall to kiss her.
Skylar pushed him away and pleaded with her eyes. “Mr. Ford, please at least give me some time to
catch my breath. I’m exhausted.”
After Tobias let her go, Skylar noticed his briefcase by the door from the corner of her eye.
No wonder he is in such a hurry. He isn’t spending the night after all. It looks like I’ll be sleeping alone
tonight.
Skylar recovered her gaze and questioned, “Do you really have to leave? It’s already nine.”
Tobias stroked her chin before lifting it gently. “I still have something on at night. I’ve reserved the day for
you, but things never go as planned. Therefore, are you still going to deny me?”
Skylar read between the lines. A satisfied man will naturally be less promiscuous.
She then led Tobias upstairs before taking off his clothes piece by piece. He seemed to be pleased with
the “foreplay.”
Despite rushing for time, Tobias worked vigorously in bed, to the extent Skylar couldn’t take it anymore.
Given how well he performed, Skylar realized that she would shamelessly crave this feeling when he
wasn’t around.
Before tasting the forbidden fruit, she had never understood how a man and a woman couldn’t get
enough of each other.
