NovelOnlineSkylar remained frozen in her spot while Tobias headed straight for the bed. He sat down and removed
his suit jacket while staring at his phone.
“Why’re you losing your temper at me? I don’t recall offending you.” Tobias was the first to break the
silence.
Skylar felt an indescribable melancholy. “I have to make this clear today. What sort of relationship do
we have?” questioned Skylar.
The lines between both of them were far too blurred. Skylar had once fantasized about being in a
relationship with Tobias, yet he disappointed her repeatedly. He gave her false hopes again and again,
only to let reality break her heart every single time, plunging her into despair.
She could not deny the fact that he was indifferent toward her. It was apparent that he barely made an

Above all, Tobias only needed her body to satisfy him in bed. Her heart ached further at the thought of
him allowing some other woman to reside in the International Garden.
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
Looking at her pitiful and teary eyes, Tobias began to adopt a more gentle attitude. “What sort of
relationship do you think we have? Didn’t I say this before? You’re my girlfriend. Hasn’t that been made
clear enough? Or do you feel that I haven’t been worthy enough as a boyfriend?”
Skylar sniffled as she struggled to stifle her tears. If she shed tears in front of Tobias, he would
probably make a snide remark and criticize her for crying so easily.
She kept her gaze on the floor as she lamented, “Do couples behave this way? You only look for me
when you need me. When you don’t, you seem to disappear from the face of the earth without a trace. I
hardly receive any messages from you.”
Tobias’s brows furrowed. The fatigue was evident in his visage. “Are you blaming me for not contacting
you? Well, I’m an extremely busy person. I won’t always have the time to take care of you. Skylar, if
you want to be in a relationship with me, you have to keep up with my pace. I won’t be like your ex-
boyfriends. My whole life can’t revolve around you, and I can’t possibly ask about your wellbeing
through texts all the time. You’re not a teenager anymore, so you shouldn’t be maintaining your
relationship with childish ways.”
With the nonchalance in his tone, it was obvious that he didn’t see any problem with his attitude.
Skylar gradually understood that being in a relationship with a successful man like him was no easy

“I can see why you have no time for me. With the time spent on other women, how would you have the
capacity to deal with me? I recently went to International Garden and saw your latest conquest there,”
hissed Skylar, who was oblivious to the notes of jealousy in her tone.
Tobias knitted his brows. “I don’t know what you’re babbling about. In the first place, I bought that villa
for you. Besides, I’ve been in Rome the past month and only just returned,” he rasped.
Skylar stiffened at this revelation. “But I really saw a woman staying in there.”
Tobias looked up to scrutinize her. When their eyes met, he realized that she was indeed confused. “I’m
not sure who that was either. So… Is that jealousy I’m sensing?”
“I am jealous! I’ve had enough of this undefined relationship. Tobias Ford, since you’re not able to give
me the slightest sense of security, there’s no need for me to give a d*mn about you either. I’d rather live
a happy single life than get tormented by you.”
Those words did not sound foreign to Tobias. Sense of security? What’s that? He was clueless as well.
