After all, Wesley and Sharon were the kinds that always felt they were self-deserving and therefore, entitled to be treated well.
From Wesley’s perspective, he was the one that raised Skylar. If not for her, Meredith’s pension would have been given to him instead. After all, he was Meredith’s son.
Skylar could still remember what happened when Miranda had just been sent to prison. Wesley was the first one to make his position known.
She had assumed he wanted to take her in given that Miranda was his sister.
Instead, Wesley suggested to Meredith to have her sent to either her dad or an orphanage.
However, Meredith rejected the idea about sending Skylar to the orphanage while Thomas refused to acknowledge her as his daughter.
Worried that Skylar would be bullied by her stepmother and stepsisters, Meredith decided to raise her on her own.
Consequently, Wesley’s relationship with Meredith became strained and it took them a few years to reconcile. After that, Skylar would move between families as if she was a ball being kicked around.
Ever since Meredith died, Skylar felt lonely no matter how luxurious her home was. She would feel miserable and empty as it didn’t give her a feeling of home.
Meanwhile, when she saw Kevin coming downstairs, she noticed his stubble and all the pimples on his face. A boy going through puberty was when he would experience the peak of male hormone secretion.
Skylar asked, “Where are you going? Don’t you have school since it’s a weekday? Since you’re already in high school, you have to be more serious about your studies.”
Kevin nodded without a reply. Holding his bag with one hand, he looked at Tobias in the dark building they were in.
“Are you rich?”
Thinking that he was asking her, she replied with a frown, “Have you been playing games on your phone again?”
Kevin continued, “Skylar, I’m not asking you. I’m asking the one beside you if he is rich.”
Tobias’ expression darkened as he wondered why a high school student would want to know.
