NovelEnglishSkylar felt like she was the most pathetic person in the entire world, still hoping for something she could
never have.
Although she clearly knew that Tobias might leave her any time, she felt as though her heart had been
gouged by a knife every time she saw him with another woman.
Despite that, she still came to bid Tobias goodbye, which was laughable since he was most probably
having a good time with that woman upstairs and avoiding her.
She was going to meet Penelope at the dessert shop in their school. It had been a long time since they
last met. Upon seeing her, Penelope gave her a tight hug.
“Why have you lost so much weight? Are you on a diet for the role you are playing?” Penelope said as
she looked at Skylar with sympathy. The latter’s limbs were so thin that she seemed like she could be
blown away by a gust of wind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar took a mouthful of mango pomelo sago and let out a sigh. “The director told me to put on some
weight before filming. But I can’t gain any no matter how much I eat.”
Hearing that, Penelope pinched her flabby tummy. This is so unfair. If only I can give five kilograms of
my body fat to Skylar.
Noticing that Skylar was in a daze, Penelope asked, “Are you still thinking about Jeremy? I told you that
he’s not good for you. That guy is unreliable.”
In truth, it had been a long time since Jeremy last crossed Skylar’s mind. She forced a smile and said,
“I have already let it go. At least I gave my all when I was with him. Although the ending wasn’t what I
expected, I am glad that I backed out before it’s too late.”
Skylar felt like she was losing her mind. She was talking about Jeremy, but her head was filled with
thoughts of Tobias. It seemed absurd that she was indignant about getting dumped when she did not
even realize that Tobias had such an important place in her heart.
Suddenly, she recalled the words Jeremy had told her before—that she would regret being with such a
complicated person.
Meanwhile, Penelope stared at Skylar suspiciously. It was obvious that the latter was not in good
condition. In fact, she looked like she was lovesick. When Penelope was talking to her, her mind
seemed to be elsewhere.
“When you told me you wanted to get married to Jeremy, I was so pissed off. Why would a beautiful
lady like you get married so soon and be at the beck and call of his family? If you marry him, he will
surely clip your wings when you become famous one day.”
Unwilling to talk about that person, Skylar turned her attention to a couple outside the window. When
she saw the guy crouching on the floor to help his girlfriend tie her shoelace, she couldn’t help but feel
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmenvious. She had never harbored high expectations in her relationships.
All she wanted was for the other party to reciprocate her sincerity toward him and treat her well.
She asked Penelope, “Let’s say, a man asked you to be his girlfriend and you refused, but both of you
got along very well and you acquiesced to the relationship. Then, for some unknown reason, this man
stopped contacting you. What would you do if you were in this situation?”
Penelope looked at Skylar doubtfully as her instincts told her that there was something fishy going on.
“Skylar, please don’t tell me you’re talking about yourself.”
Skylar nodded in dismay. “I guess you could say so.”
If it weren’t for her years of friendship with Penelope, she would not even dare to tell the latter her
secret. She was just glad that there was someone for her to talk to.
Abruptly, Skylar slammed the table in rage. “F*ck, tell me who he is! I will hunt him down if it’s the last I
do. How dare he bully you! Did you sleep with him?”
