NovelEnglishWith one hand in the pocket, Tobias replied, “I can’t let you go back alone. How about having lunch
together and watching a movie afterward?”
Strutting past him, Skylar bumped his shoulder forcefully with hers. “No, I need to go home and
memorize the script. It all depends on this movie whether I can make a name for myself. I can’t let you
down, since you’ve put in so much effort to pave the way for me.”
Finally, a faint appeared on Tobias’ face. “I can give you a hand. I’ve brought some learning materials
for your reference.”
Later, Skylar got into the car with him. The man took a DVD out of the armrest compartment. Glancing
at it, Skylar realized that it was an X-rated movie of the nineties.
“What a pervert…” she said with her brows drew together.
Tobias remained nonchalant as he spoke in a steady voice, “Nothing is perverted about it. You can still
learn something from this.”

Right then, the traffic turned red. His slender finger tapped gently on the steering wheel. “Someone left
it in my car.”
The man knew that Skylar was not going to believe his explanation, though he was telling the truth, he
didn’t mention that owner of the movie was his brother.
The second they were home, Tobias closed the curtains, and Skylar could tell that he was up to
something.
Since when did I say that I’ve forgiven him for what he did yesterday?
In the meantime, Tobias wasn’t too enthusiastic, nor did he ignore her.
Seeing that he was still holding the DVD in his hand, she covered her eyes. “I don’t want to watch it. It’s
such an eyesore.”
Her terrified face made his expression soften. “I’ve never watched this. It’s been a long while since I
watched an X-rated movie. Why don’t we watch it together? It’s boring to do this alone. Why are you so
scared of it?”
The truth was that Tobias didn’t have such a fetish, and all he wanted to do was to frighten the woman.
Before six in the evening, Skylar cooked up some pasta and brought it out of the kitchen. When Tobias
saw that she only made a single portion of pasta for herself, he knew she was still mad at him.
“What illness does your mother have? Why does she have to stay in the hospital?” The man struck up
a conversation to lighten the atmosphere.
“She’s lovesick….” the woman answered without lifting her head.
He chuckled at her words. “It’s rare that someone of her age stays loyal to her spouse. What passion
do couples have left after getting married? Holding hands no longer make their hearts flutter. Besides,
she and Thomas were divorced once.”
Skylar resented his views on marriage. He seemed to have envisioned marriage as something
petrifying.
“Didn’t you want to marry Idania back then? Why weren’t you afraid of losing passion for her? Perhaps
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’m not the right person for you. That’s why I can’t make you yearn to marry me.” Skylar’s heart sank as
she spoke.
Tobias’ brows raised at her words. Skylar seems to know quite a lot about my past. I’m afraid Kai has
told her everything about Idania.
“I was young and foolish then. At that time, I wanted to get married because she kept urging me to do
so. I gave her everything I could, yet she left all of a sudden when my Mom disapproved of her,” he
described nonchalantly, as though he was talking about someone else’s story.
“You must have been broken-hearted. I’ve never seen you get upset because of any woman though.
Why does she get in touch with you out of the blue? Is she trying to get back together with you?”
Putting down her fork, Skylar studied his face speculatively.
The man’s expression was gloomy. His brows knitted together, and his jaw clenched.
“I’m not one who will get back together with my ex-girlfriends. The past remains the past. If you break
up with me, we’ll never reconcile afterward.”
Skylar looked away from his ice-cold gaze, which was entirely devoid of warmth and emotion.
