Even though Tobias had seen through her cheap tricks, Skylar had no intention to explain anything to him.
Needless to say, she did not do that to please Claudia.
I’m not that despicable. Had Winnie not mistreated me, I would not have been so cruel. Perhaps I might ruin her
relationship with Sheldon by doing so, but I couldn’t care less.
Once they were back in their house half an hour later, Tobias saw many toys and clothing for infants piled up at the
side of the bed.
As he unbuttoned his shirt, he eyed Skylar curiously and asked, “Are you pregnant? Why are there so many kids’
stuff here?”
With a gleam in her eye, she questioned back, “If so, what would you do?”
“Honestly, I don’t like kids. Besides, I don’t feel like I would be a good dad, but the decision is yours.” He shrugged

His answer was just as Skylar had expected.
Back then, when they were still lovey-dovey, he had mentioned having kids with her. I knew that he didn’t mean it.
If I really get pregnant, I don’t think he would be kind to me.
“Are you really pregnant? But I’ve always been cautious,” he said, picking up the baby products and putting them
into the cabinet.
Then, he turned around and wrapped his hand behind her neck, pulling her into his arms. Taken aback, she froze for
a moment before hugging his waist in return.
A while later, she finally said, “No, I’m not pregnant. These baby products are for Penelope’s cute little baby. By the
way, Brayden is heartless. He has never visited Penelope and their baby ever since the child was born. Do the bad
truly sleep well at night?”
He stroked her hair and placed his chin on her head. “We can never imagine how cold-blooded people can be. Not
everyone is qualified to be a parent. Take me for example. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like to have
children or bear the responsibility of being a father.”
Skylar could not help but sigh. It’s common for people nowadays to refuse to have a child, especially in developed
countries. For some people, having a baby is a kind of luxury they can’t afford, but for rich people like Tobias, I
wonder what’s his reason to remain childless.
With that thought in mind, she asked, “What’s the point of earning money then? You’ve got everything you want,
and definitely have enough resources to raise a child. I believe money is just a number for you, and the money you
have now is enough for several lifetimes. Why not retire early and travel the world instead?”
He glanced away and looked outside the window. “Some things are not as simple as they seem. Maybe I just have
an insatiable desire.”

Looking at his side profile, Skylar believed that he was telling the truth. It’s not hard to see that he’s an avaricious
person. He’s always been goal-oriented in everything he does.
The next day, Skyler stayed at home from morning till noon. She did not call anyone, nor did her phone ring.
Coming down the stairs, Tobias saw her exercising in the living room to a workout video online.
Now, she seems to have endless energy. If she’s so energetic in bed like this, I’d be very pleased. Whenever we’re
making love, she’ll always complain that she’s tired, and if I force her, she might even bite me. What she’s doing
now seems way more tiring than what we do between the sheets. Most of the time, she was the one lying in bed
and enjoying herself while I did all the work.
“Aren’t you going out? It’s noon already.” Tobias felt uncomfortable with how free she was.
Upon hearing him, she paused the video and used the towel around her neck to wipe the sweat on her face. “I
don’t have much work at the moment. I’m still waiting for the post-production of the film to complete. Basically, my
company has stopped all my activities.”
He held up his hand and said, “Wait, say that again.”
