Chapter 600 Immature Young Girl
When Tobias heard Skylar’s name, he took a closer look at the man and realized that it was Jeremy, Skylar’s first boyfriend!
It was a small world indeed. The odds of Tobias bumping into Jeremy were extremely low, but they still met under such circumstances. Tobias should actually be grateful to Jeremy because, without Jeremy, Skylar would never have to use her body to exchange for that man’s life, and Tobias himself would never get to know her.
Skylar was, in fact, considered rather lucky. After being together with Tobias for so long, he had not done anything that would hurt her. In fact, he had been treating their relationship rather seriously.
As Jeremy tilted his head up while taking a sip of soda, he spotted Tobias and spat out his drink at once.
The man turned pale and swallowed a lump in his throat. He was so intimidated by Tobias that he felt like his life was being threatened at that moment.
However, Tobias remained expressionless and ignored Jeremy.
He said his ex-girlfriend loved coming here with him. Tobias thought.
“Mister, do you want it spicy? You need any cutlery?” The owner of the food stall asked as he picked up the chili flakes container.
Tobias glanced at the food that was already prepared and without saying a word, he made payment before turning around and left.
The owner of the food stall froze for a second before shouting, “Hey, mister! You forgot your food.”
Tobias replied without looking back, “Please throw them away! She doesn’t like these anymore.”
Tobias had the air of a big shot and did not seem like someone who was mentally unstable. Not knowing what was going on, the boss of the food stall frowned. What a strange man! He waited in the cold for the food to be prepared and even paid for it. Why did he leave without it?
Still slightly in shock, Jeremy finally heaved a sigh of relief after Tobias left and forced a smile at his new girlfriend.
Noticing that beads of sweat had accumulated on his forehead, the woman took a piece of tissue and leaned forward to wipe the sweat off for him.
“What happened to you? Are you not feeling well?”
Jeremy took a deep inhale and replied, “I’m fine. Let’s just quickly finish eating and leave.”
When he saw Tobias, Jeremy was reminded of his nightmare once again. At that time, Tobias had only given him two options. He could either choose to hand over that three million or die.
Until the present day, Jeremy still dreamed of that scene often. To him, it was even scarier than when he found out that he was ill.
Meanwhile, Skylar, who was almost falling asleep, heard the rumbling of the car engine that disturbed the quiet night. Immediately, she stood up and walked toward the window.
She could see Tobias smoking in the garden. Apart from the cigarette between his fingers, he was not holding anything else.
Skylar tiptoed in order to take a closer look. As the windows had no grills, the woman almost lost her balance and fell out of the window.
She had assumed that Tobias must have left the food in the car.
Thus when Tobias walked through the door empty-handed, Skylar could not help but feel disappointed. “How can you break your promise? I especially waited up for you.”
With a grim expression, the man replied, “You should stop eating so much junk food. You’ll become a useless piece of junk yourself if you keep on eating.”
Skylar grumbled under her breath as she wondered why the man was acting in such a weird manner. It was him who suggested that he brought food back for her. As such, she was speechless at what he said.
Even her stomach started rumbling in protest. The woman let out a yawn and said, “I shouldn’t have waited for you. Gonna go sleep now.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Tobias stared at Skylar with a penetrating gaze. He was unable to forget what Jeremy said about Skylar always wanting to sit next to him and not facing him. Was there not enough space? Did she love him so much that she had to stick to him at all times?
Tobias did not remember Skylar behaving that way toward him.
At the same time, Madelyn saw that Tobias was still standing downstairs. In fact, she had already noticed the tense atmosphere between Tobias and Skylar earlier. That did not surprise the housekeeper at all, given the age gap between the couple. After all, Skylar was still young and immature, but Tobias already had his eyes set on her.
