“Okay. Tell Susan which house you like.”
His answer made Skylar screamed in her mind, He’s spoiling his brother!
With what Sheldon was earning recently, Tobias was sure that he would not be able to even buy the bathroom of the villa.
Finally, Sheldon revealed the first smile of the day. Seemingly gloating, he then glanced at Skylar.
For the rest of the meal, Sheldon happily ate three lobsters. By the end of it, his stomach was filled, and he even gained a villa. In other words, he was in a great mood.
When he left, he was even humming a tune. A short distance away from the restaurant, he hurriedly called Winnie and told her about how he had gotten the villa.
Meanwhile, the driver was already waiting by the doorway. When they came out of the restaurant, Skylar and Tobias then entered the car.
After returning home, Skylar headed straight to the bathroom to shower and wash up, for the scent of lobster was still in her mouth.
When she was done and in the middle of brushing her teeth, she heard the sounds of television coming from the living room. However, there were no lights on downstairs.
When she went downstairs, she saw the light from the television casting a blue glow on Tobias’ face.
Walking closer, she realized Tobias was not watching a classic movie that she originally thought he was. Instead, he was watching her television show, Unrequited Love.
The character she played in the show was much younger than her actual age. On-screen, she was wearing a blue and white school uniform as she and Harry sat on a rock, talking about their plans for the future.
When Tobias spotted Skylar, he turned off the television and commented, “It looks boring.”
Skylar shrugged. “Shows like these aren’t your taste. These are for the young people.”
Tobias’ brows knitted. “I’m not in my seventies. Is my age troubling you?”
At that, Skylar quickly added, “I’m just joking. What I mean is that shows like these aren’t meant for people who prefer meaningful shows.”
Skylar panted, “Someone’s looking for you.”
One of Tobias’ hands was around her waist as he undid his belt with his other hand. “Ignore it.”
Nevertheless, the phone kept ringing. Annoyed by the constant noise, Tobias pressed a pacifying kiss on her cheek and said, “I’ll come back to deal with you in a bit.”
When he picked up the call, an endearing smile crept upon his lips, for he had seen the way Skylar was using the blanket to cover herself.
However, that smile dropped the moment he heard the voice in the call.
“It isn’t convenient for me right now. We’ll meet tomorrow.”
Skylar had good hearing, and she heard the soft female voice from the other end of the line. After all, the room had been quiet.
She had heard how the woman had called Tobias; she had called him Tobi.
