“It’s just a dinner with my mother at my house. As for the theme, it’s not a formal dinner. It’s just a

awkward spot.
Immediately, Skylar took out a tissue from her bag and wiped it hurriedly.
Tobias grabbed her wrist and stopped her movements. “Stop wiping. You might get yourself into
trouble. Did you do that on purpose?”
Skylar thought Tobias was definitely out of his mind. Is he wired wrong or something? What’s gotten
into him?
She was afraid that Claudia would drug her through the food send her to hell.
Skylar repeatedly asked him for confirmation.
“Do I have to go? Do I really have to go? I wouldn’t get kicked out, would I? Should I prepare some
gifts?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias was clearly annoyed by her questions. Hence, he stopped her mouth with his lips. He gently bit
her tongue and shut her mouth quickly.
Tobias was actually taking his chances this time. Skylar was the one who pulled the trigger for it as she
had been saying things about a sense of security all the time.
How to make her feel more secure? Meeting the parents? Acknowledging her existence? Tobias didn’t
know what exactly Skylar wanted either.
He remembered it wasn’t his first time telling Skylar that the sense of security was self-growth, not
given by others. One must be stronger and increase self-confidence in order to feel secure.
However, Skylar didn’t understand the meaning. Of course Tobias wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
Perhaps, her family of origin had a huge impact on her. She had been yearning for love and warmth.
Few days ago, Sheldon introduced Winnie to Claudia.
Surprisingly, she behaved uncharacteristically. She didn’t care much about Winnie’s background nor
her job. Instead, she liked Winnie a lot.

one who earned a living for her family. A child from a poor family often matured at an early age. She felt
sorry to see Winnie working so hard at this age.

away her tears. It touched Claudia’s heart even more to see her that way.
Besides, she reminded Sheldon to get along well with his girlfriend and not to let her down.
Tobias was hoping that Claudia would think it through and accept Skylar, or at the very least, not
behaving strongly against her.
Skylar appeared at the wrong time. Claudia was suffering from emotional trauma due to Tanya’s
incident.
She was determined that Skylar was the homewrecker who destroyed Tobias’ marriage. Claudia hated
those who ruined others’ relationships to her core.
Tobias was afraid that their unexpected visit was too hard for Claudia to accept. Therefore, he had

for dinner.
Tobias’ intention was clear. He wanted to stop Claudia from putting Skylar in a difficult position
anymore.
Claudia didn’t say anything.
Skylar’s clothes were scattered all around the floor in her closet. Meanwhile, she took out the eighth
dress and checked herself in front of the mirror.
Her skin looked as fair as snow in that black dress. The hemline was below her knees, simple yet
elegant without any excessive design, looking flattering on her figure. She matched an emerald
necklace with the dress, which brought out the maturity in her.
Skylar looked at herself in the mirror; she looked like a rich lady.
All of a sudden, she thought of Claudia’s sarcastic comments about her, saying that she spent all his
son’s money on luxury items.
Without a second thought, she took off the emerald necklace and replaced it with a cheap pearl
necklace. Nonetheless, the pearl was perfectly round and beautiful.
Skylar took a deep breath in front of the entrance, holding a cake that she made before coming over.
The moment was way more intense than filming the highlight of a movie.
