Tobias rarely ever cares about my activities… I wonder if he knows about me bumping into Marcus at the café earlier? If he knows, then choosing to keep it from him would only lead to him overthinking.
“I was meeting up with my manager for a discussion, and I ended up bumping into Marcus after that.”
Tobias frowned. “You’d better stay away from Marcus and Ingrid in the future. They’re never up to any good.”
Skylar had no idea what the grudge between them was about, or if it was actually between their parents who got them involved.
Regardless, she simply nodded and stuffed the snack into her mouth.
“Did you make this yourself? It tastes amazing!” Skylar exclaimed.
“If you find it amazing, then it couldn’t possibly have been me. My mom was the one who had me bring them over,” Tobias replied.
Skylar nearly choked when she heard that and went wide-eyed with surprise. Claudia made me snacks? This isn’t like her at all! Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen her in a long time. It was always so stressful being around her, especially since she sighs a lot. It’s almost as if she’s disappointed in Tobias for choosing to be with me, and she has no choice but to accept me.
“I’ll pay Mrs. Ford a visit as soon as I have the time. I’ve been so busy with work lately that I can’t even come home early,” Skylar said.
Tobias was quick to stop her. “I suggest you don’t go and see her unless she invites you. She isn’t exactly right in the head these days, so there’s no telling what nasty stuff she might say to you while you’re there. You’ll end up in a foul mood and fight with me. So, I don’t see any point in you doing that.”
At that moment, the screen of Tobias’ phone lit up as tons of messages came in one after another, catching the attention of Skylar instantly. Judging by how aggressively the person is texting him so late at night, it’s either from someone he owes money to or a woman!
