Skylar poured some wine for herself and downed the content in one gulp, glass after glass.
Tobias stopped her. “That’s enough. You have a low alcohol tolerance.”
She drank a whole bottle of wine. In her drunken stupor, she promised never to hold on to the thought of marrying him. Her mother’s plan had backfired.
Skylar was too naive to think that a dinner with her mom could soften his view on marriage.
After a while, Tobias refilled her glass instead of stopping her from drinking. In the end, Skylar lay her head on the table as she felt the alcohol work its way in her empty stomach.
Miranda continued the conversation with Tobias outside the private room, away from her daughter.
However, he was worried about leaving Skylar alone in the room. He checked on her a few times before heading to the corridor to smoke. “Ms. Watt, just tell me what is on your mind. I’m all ears.”
Miranda thought differently.
She didn’t understand what he said at the table just now, so she asked, “Can you be honest with me? Will you marry Skylar? You are much older than her. She’s still young. It will ruin her reputation if both of you were to split up in the future. Will any man want a used woman? A guy needs to be responsible to the woman when both of them are living together, right?”
Miranda had resorted to forcing him to marry her daughter. It was exactly what Tobias hated most.
