Tobias noticed that Skylar was staring at his watch. He removed it from his wrist and placed it in her hand. “You like it?”
The cold steel watch weighed heavily on Skylar's palm.
As though having received a hot potato, she swiftly put the watch on the coffee table. “It's too expensive, and I might just drop it!”
Chuckling, Tobias said, “So what if it's expensive? Just say the word if there's anything of mine that you like.”
Skylar discovered that his sweet-talking skills had clearly improved recently. “This is a men's watch, so it's useless to me even if I like it. Aren't you afraid I'd give it to some other men to curry favor if you were to gift it to me?”
Despite knowing all too well that she was joking, Tobias did not like to hear it. “You can try it if you dare.”
At once, Skylar zipped her mouth since she would only be dooming herself to answer that.
Tobias opened the gift box. When he saw the gift's original packaging, he snickered before drawling, “You gifted me an e-cigarette?”
That was a gift Skylar had spent tremendous thought on and found most suitable for the man. Never had she expected him to disdain it so much.
Although he did not spell it out, anyone with eyes could see his contempt for the gift. “It's super popular these days, with many shops selling it at the mall. You always smoke, and it's bad for your health.”
Tobias was inherently averse to the e-cigarette, finding it strange to smoke it.
Lifting his hand, he stroked her short hair. Her hair was increasingly shorter then, and while he had never mentioned it, he liked it better when she had long hair flowing past her shoulders.
Back then, her hair was black, not the current maroon after she had dyed it.
