Skylar held her head and frowned. “That’s his trick to pick up a girl. I’ve met him once and he was

talking about how he fooled around with women. Don’t trust him, Penelope.”

Penelope looked at her with a displeased look. She hoped Skylar to feel happy for her, but Skylar

dampened her enthusiasm instead. Annoyed by her response, Penelope argued, “You’re no better than

me. You flirt with men too. You don’t know my boyfriend, so you have no right to say anything about

him.”

That was the first time the besties fought against each other. Skylar replied madly, “You’ll regret it. Just

don’t lose yourself in the relationship.”

Penelope’s heart ached when she heard Skylar’s words. She’s my best friend. She should be happy for

me, shouldn’t she? I guess she just can’t accept the fact that I have a good boyfriend now.

Penelope put the money on the table and walked away. Skylar called out to her, yet she totally ignored

her and left. Skylar drank up her fruit juice and felt upset that her best friend turned her back on her

because of a despicable man.

While Skylar was on her way back, she scrolled through Penelope’s social media. She was worried

when she realized Penelope put her heart and soul into the relationship.

Her posts on social media were all about the man, showing off her new boyfriend. She posted pictures

of the man’s back, his shirts, and some pictures of them holding hands.

Penelope had never done anything like that.

Skylar called Tobias and asked him to come over to the mall. He was attending a business event when

she called him. He left the event early and headed towards Skylar. She could smell the strong odor of

liquor on him when he approached her. Tobias took down his coat and seated himself, then he took a

sip of Skylar’s coffee.

“Why are you here in the mall? You should be resting at home,” Tobias asked while gazing around.

“I’m bored. Did you drink? You reek of alcohol.” His scent was so strong that she couldn’t smell the

fragrance of her coffee anymore.

“A little bit. I was attending a business event. Why did you call me? Do you want me to pick you up, or

is there something you want to buy?” Tobias reached out to his pocket, then he realized that he had left

his wallet in the office.

Skylar showed him the cinema’s website on her phone. She was checking out the movie tickets for a

romantic film. “I was in a bad mood, so I wanted to watch a movie with you. But I guess you’ve drunk a

little too much. Just forget about it. Let’s go home.” After saying that, she turned off her phone.

Tobias cast a smile at her. “I’m not drunk. Let’s watch a movie. I’ll just take a nap there.”

Such a party pooper! Skylar heaved a sigh upon hearing that. What’s fun about that if my date just

sleeps through the movie?

After that, she bought two tickets for a romantic film. There weren’t many people in the hall, so they

practically booked the place.

There were forty minutes more until the movie started. Tobias wanted to have a smoke at the fire

escape. Skylar didn’t want to follow, yet he grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the fire escape behind

the mall.

Holding the tickets in her hand, Skylar stood by the door. She hugged herself with her own arms and

mocked, “What a pitiful girl I am! I’ve just been discharged from the hospital and now I’m forced to

breathe in secondhand smoke. Do you want me to die early, Mr. Ford?”

Tobias squinted his eyes as he looked at her. Actually, smoking was just an excuse. He saw Thomas

and Miranda at the cinema, and he didn’t want Skylar to run into them.

Before she noticed, he pulled her out of the place. Tobias was shocked to see Thomas and Miranda

there, holding hands and going to a movie like a couple. He wouldn’t believe it if he hadn’t seen it with

his own eyes.

If he loves Miranda so much, then why did he abandon his family?
