Chapter 696 What Kind Of Life Did You Lead Back Then
Tobias hated it when people disturbed his personal life. If his relationship with Skylar were to be exposed, he would surely end up on the covers of magazines.
Skylar did not sleep well the night before, so she got drowsy shortly after she slumped into her bed. However, just before she fell asleep, she heard Mavis talking on the phone. Although the woman was speaking in Spanish, Skylar could more or less understand what was said.
“I don't have any more money. I've already lost count of all the creditors I paid off for you! We're already divorced, and you still want me to clean up your mess for you? Why don't you just drop dead?”
I guess even superstars have quarrels when it comes to money. Skylar covered her head with her blanket and pretended that she did not hear Mavis. She thought it was pretty awkward to overhear somebody else's secret.
Skylar did not think that marrying into a wealthy family was the key to happiness, but somehow, her path crossed with Tobias' nonetheless.
Having rested for a while, Skylar waited until Mavis fell asleep before going out to the little garden just in front of the hotel, where she saw Kai.
The man was drinking alone there with a bottle of wine he got from the hotel owner. The alcoholic drink was not to his taste, but it was all he had.
When Kai noticed Skylar, his sense of loneliness immediately dissipated.
Skylar sat down on a swing next to him after he beckoned for her. “What are you doing drinking alone here? Aren't you tired? In case you've forgotten, you have to wake up early tomorrow.”
Kai was glad that Skylar seemed to be concerned for him. “I'm not tired. As long as you're around, I'll always be as lively as crickets. Besides, you're still awake too. Is something troubling you?”
“Of course not. I have countless fans rooting for me, which is something I still have trouble believing. To be liked by so many people is like a dream come true. I never thought that a TV show could kickstart my career like that. I'm doing so much better than before. At least I don't have to worry about money.”
