Tobias stood behind Skylar. Suddenly, his low and deep voice sounded above her head. “A sense of

security doesn’t have to come from others. Remember, you can’t rely on anyone in the world except

yourself. Once you’re strong enough, you’ll feel secure.”

Skylar’s body tensed up. The closer Tobias was to her, the more anxious she became.

She found herself unable to rebuke his argument while she was overwhelmed by that familiar scent of

his.

The light and refreshing white sandalwood cologne he had on masked the smell of tobacco and ignited

her desire.

Tobias circled his arms around her waist firmly and inhaled the faint scent of her shampoo. “Let’s make

a trip back. I want to see who’s staying there so you can stop imagining things and cease the

accusations about my nonexistent mistress.”

With that, the force around her waist vanished. Skylar shot him a suspicious look. Does he really not

know? Or is he pretending not to know?

As they made their way to International Garden, nervousness began to hit Skylar. She was

apprehensive about approaching the property and confronting the woman who resided in it.

A million thoughts crossed her mind. Maybe she’s an ex-lover of Tobias? Perhaps International Garden

was where she used to live?

When they arrived at International Garden, Laura saw Tobias and Skylar return at the same time.

She respectfully waited at the entrance to assist them with changing their footwear, but the pair couldn’t

be bothered about it. Skylar was more concerned with clarifying the issue as soon as possible so that

she could return to school without delay. Besides, she had to prepare for her trip to N Province.

She even wondered if Daryl had forgotten about her.

“Tobias, how did you know I’m back? I called you several times, but there was no answer. Then I heard

that you were in Rome for business.”

A sweet female voice echoed in the house. When Zoey Stewart saw Tobias with a woman in tow, the

smile on her face evaporated.

Laura had warned her that Tobias brought a woman home previously, but she was unconvinced.

Skylar blinked her eyes in shock. She knew that Tobias had a younger brother, but she didn’t expect

him to have a sister as well. Unless she’s an illegitimate child? I guess you’d never know what kind of

secrets the affluent families are hiding.

But this woman bore no resemblances to Tobias.

When Tobias saw Zoey, there was barely any change in his expression. “Why are you staying here?

You didn’t even inform me. When did you return?”

Zoey’s eyes never left the woman beside Tobias. Her piercing gaze told Skylar that she was

unwelcome.

“This has always been my abode! I’m just returning home. What’s wrong with that?” She shot Tobias a

pitiful look.

Fearful that Skylar may develop the wrong idea, he introduced Zoey to her. “This is Zoey Steward, my

friend’s younger sister.”

Skylar gave Zoey a light nod and a polite smile. She decided to turn a blind eye to the latter’s unfriendly

demeanor. I can’t possibly ask her why she’s glaring at me on our first meeting…

Upon hearing the words “friend’s younger sister,” Zoey lowered her head dejectedly. Then, she

murmured, “And this is? I’ve never seen her before, and she doesn’t look like Tanya.”

Skylar remained silent and waited for Tobias to introduce her.

She was unclear on what their relationship was. Referring to them as lovers would be an

overstatement.

“This is my girlfriend, Skylar.” His tone was low and domineering, lifting Skylar’s spirits.
