Tobias added with disdain, “You’re quick to sell Skylar for barely three hundred thousand. Why haven’t you ever thought about improving your relationship with her? The perks you might have gotten now that Skylar is together with me should exceed far beyond three hundred thousand, don’t you understand?”
Realization suddenly dawned on them. Wesley and Sharon could never be more regretful in their life.
The wealth Tobias possessed could even rival that of a nation and he was a known spendthrift. Thus, what he could give to Skylar was unquestionably greater since rich men like him would easily spend millions just for a wristwatch.
Then, in front of Skylar, Sharon made a call to Lily to cancel the wedding and return all the money to her.
Even from this side of the phone, Lily’s loud and irritable voice could be heard clearly. “What’s going on? My son has since locked himself up in his room after returning home last night. Isn’t it too late for you to mention canceling the wedding now?”
Wesley grabbed the phone and spoke aggressively, “Cancel means cancel! That’s for the well-being of my niece.”
Skylar was relieved. Meeting Tobias’ eyes, she realized with him around, any difficult situation could be easily solved and she would never have to endure it alone.
Coming out of Wesley’s house, Tobias took her in his arms and his deep voice came from beside her ear. “I can unravel all kinds of mess for you so just relax and stay by my side. I don’t require much from you as long as you behave and listen to me.”
Skylar asked in response, “What kind of a relationship is this?”
Tobias replied gently, “You can treat me as your boyfriend. It’s up to you how you want to treat it.”
“I don’t know. I can’t answer you for now. I was already preparing to spend the rest of my life alone.” Skylar was at a loss.
Tobias gave her a faint smile. “How old are you? You sounded like someone who has seen through the temporality of life. Anyway, there is certainly some progress since you’re not so firm on your stance anymore. That leaves me with some hope.”
Tobias could surely meet up to all women’s fantasies about men. He was good-looking, mature, wealthy, assertive and possessed the charisma that a mellow man should have.
Skylar was clear about the fact that Tobias couldn’t give her the sense of security she needed. He was just like a sweet dream that one had to wake up from eventually.
You can never really get into a circle where you don’t belong. At the end of the day, you’re only shaming yourself and making it difficult for others.
