Tobias gave a confused look. “Who says that a man cannot sleep on a single bed? The home’s just a place for sleeping. It does not look like I need to do anything on it.”
Skylar raised a brow at him. “That sounds so sad. Do you not feel any love in this house?”
Tobias pondered for a while. No, I don’t. Long before he and his brother turned ten, Claudia had been busy working all the time. And now, he was the one who seldom left his work.
“Stop complaining. Just make do with it. If you don’t like it, I can sleep in the guest room. There’re plenty of rooms in this house, and you can choose the one you like.”
Upon hearing that, Skylar shook her head firmly. She refused to step out of his room as she worried that she might run into Claudia.
She scanned the room, and her eyes locked on the enormous bookshelf at one side of the wall. She stood on her tiptoes and randomly reached for an old photo album on the upper shelf.
“Can I have a look?” Skylar asked for permission from the owner.
Tobias could hardly remember what was in the album. “Suit yourself. I’m yours anyway, so is everything in this room.
Skylar’s face blushed upon hearing that, as it was rare for Tobias to say something so romantic.
However, a second after Skylar opened the album, her curiosity seemed to vanish. She shut the album right away and threw it on the table.
Confused, Tobias walked over and picked it up to look inside. After a few pages, he realized a photo of him and Idania at the tennis court.
Idania was dressed in a white polo shirt and a pink cap, while Tobias’s hand was placed around her waist.
Idania’s smile was indeed warm and pure, just like the first sunlight in the spring.
Skylar observed Tobias’ expression closely while his eyes were staring at that particular photo for almost a full minute.
