Claudia remained stubborn. “How can a girl like that be worthy of the Ford family? What about her
mom who is a convicted murderer, and her dad who is a cheating divorcee? It will be a disgrace to our
family. Besides, she’s nothing but a third-rate actress. They have no future at all.”
Sheldon replied, “What do you want then? Tobias has made it clear that he is only interested in Skylar.
Who doesn’t like young women? Besides, remember the lady you introduced to him just a few days
ago? What kind of a person is that? She’s such a hypocrite.”
Claudia shot Sheldon a glare to get him to shut up. Right then, she was bursting with rage.
After Claudia left, Skylar heaved a sigh of relief as she collapsed on the sofa.
She lifted her gaze at Tobias. “Have I offended your mom to the point of no return? I suppose she is
never going to like me, am I right?”
Tobias didn’t know what to say to comfort her.
“It takes time. Anyway, you’re going out with me, not my mom. Both of you will hardly meet each other
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanyway.”
Skylar wasn’t too affected by the incident. At least Claudia was still civil with her and didn’t curse her
like a shrew.
After all, Tobias and she would never get married. By extension, Claudia would never be her mother-in-
law too. However, Skylar didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the idea.
Anyway, I’m still young and it’s better to focus on being happy. I’ll just enjoy my relationship with Tobias
while it lasts.
After the incident, Skylar finally realized why Tobias was reluctant to bring her there. The Ford
residence was really just a few minutes away from here.
Tobias was worried that Claudia would run into her. And Skylar was indeed unlucky to have it happen
on her first visit.
He had never wanted her to have any interaction with his parents. It wasn’t because he was trying to
protect her, but he just found it too troublesome.
After putting on some light makeup, Skylar prepared to go out. She had promised Penelope to
accompany her for her prenatal care checkup. As there was a short holiday, she wanted to get it done
quickly.
Since school hadn’t started yet, the year-end didn’t feel festive to her at all. Miranda had also
mentioned that she wanted to spend the holidays at Wesley’s place.
Now that Miranda and Thomas had gotten back together, they were constantly showing off their
relationship.
In the family group chat, everyone was praising how successful Eva was.
When Miranda suddenly announced in the group that Skylar was going out with Eva’s boss, everyone
ignored her.
They felt that she was just being salty.
Before Skylar left, she asked Tobias, “How are you going to celebrate Christmas?”
He loosened his tie before looking at her thoughtfully. “Baby, are you planning to spend it with me in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbed?”
With his chiseled features, he gazed intensely at her, causing her to swoon.
She replied, “You will likely be extremely busy—to the extent that I won’t be able to see you. Hence, I’m
not expecting for us to be together.”
Tobias was ambiguous in his reply. “I’ll try my best to spare some time for you. However, it will definitely
be a busy time at the Ford residence.”
As Skylar was running late, she quickly waved goodbye to Tobias.
She had wanted to spend the holidays with him. But, there was no way she would be allowed to step
foot in the Ford residence.
Tobias then walked her to the door. When she got him to make way, he obediently complied.
She then pecked him on the cheeks. “I’m accompanying Penelope for her checkup. Anyway, I’m
running late. See you!”
Tobias wasn’t keen on interfering with Skylar’s circle of friends.
However, he still reminded her, “There’s a limit to how much you can help someone. You can’t go all
out. You should advise your friend that she will regret it next time.”
