Skylar felt aggrieved. She did not feel like she did anything wrong. Nevertheless, she had always been
oppressed like that in the past, anyone would start feeling like letting it out at this point.
However, Skylar stayed calm. “I’m leaving now. Sorry for spoiling your mood. Eva, you should get some
more food on your boyfriend’s plate. Don’t let me affect his appetite.”
Eva stared at Skylar, infuriated by her comments.
I would’ve never brought David here if I knew this would happen. Now, he’ll just think we’re a mediocre
family.
After Skylar left, Miranda apologized to her relatives awkwardly, but she actually agreed with what
Skylar had said.
During her time in jail, the only person that ever came to visit was her mother who brought Skylar with
her.

Not once did her own brother visited her.
Meanwhile, Skylar got out of the house and heard a car honking from afar. She instinctively looked
towards the direction of the noise.
She stood there, looking at a car she did not recognize and scratched her head. What am I thinking?
Why would Tobias be here?
All of a sudden, Skylar’s phone rang. It was Tobias.
“Ms. Jones, what are you standing there for? Hop on…”
Right then, Skylar realized that the car she was looking at really was Tobias’. Hence, she immediately
ran over to open the door and hopped into the passenger seat. Up to the point where she fastened the
seat belt, the whole process was smooth like butter.
“Why are you so nice all of a sudden? You’re even here to pick me up.” Skylar showed Tobias a near
perfect smile.
His hands were on the steering wheel when he replied, “I was worried that you might get bullied at the
dinner and I’ll have to rush in for you.”
“I’m not that weak you know. No one would dare to bully me,” Skylar affirmed.
There was still a hint of smoke indicating that Tobias lit a cigarette just now. The opened window also
pointed towards the same indication.
The weather had been getting colder and colder recently. Especially at night, the frigid wind felt like it
would bite into the bones.
Skylar was tightening her collar due to the cold, so Tobias closed the window and turned on the heater.
He did not bring Skylar home immediately. Instead, they went to a café.
“Are we going on a date?” Skylar saw the signboard of a café. It looked like business was going well
since a lot of people were seated by the window.
“Well, something like that…” Tobias found a spot and parked the car.
They got out of the car together. The difference in temperature felt like there was a change of seasons.
With it being so cold, Tobias took off his coat and placed it over Skylar. The scent of his cologne
immediately filled up every breath she took.

After entering the café, Skylar went to look for seats whereas Tobias ordered a cup of cappuccino as
well as a cup of black coffee without sugar and milk at the counter.
“Do all CEOs drink black coffee?” Skylar asked. “Every time I watch a series or read a , the CEO
would always have a black coffee, without fail.”
It was the first time Tobias ever heard about something like that though.
“I got used to it. I’m a very loyal man, once I get used to something, I’ll stick to it,” he answered.
Skylar smiled as she stirred the coffee, humored by what Tobias just said. She did not say anything as
Tobias’ description of himself was way off.
“That’s why you can’t fall asleep. You drink too much black coffee.”
Tobias did not respond as he did not want to continue the small talk. They were not there for the sole
purpose of dating either as he quietly took out a contract from his briefcase.
Skylar had seen it before. It was the one she signed that very day. They are now in the hands of
Tobias.
“Did I filled it in incorrectly? Did it get rejected?” Skylar asked.
