Skylar took a sip of coffee, for she was desperately in need of some energy right then. She was in a

terrible mood, was hungry, and even had a headache.

“What’s she jealous about? She’s in her thirties and has already got everything she wants. There’s

nothing about me that she’d be jealous of.”

However, as an experienced person, Kate had already seen through everything. She got straight to the

point and asked, “What do you think Valerie lacks right now?”

Skylar pondered and replied, “A man?”

Kate then patted her on the thigh in acknowledgment. “She’s jealous of Tobias’ kindness to you. She’s

been beside him for so many years and definitely has some feelings for him. For a man like Tobias,

you’d be hooked even if you only saw him once, much less if you’ve been by his side for so long.”

In reality, Skylar had never considered such a thing before and had never thought that Valerie’s single

status for so many years had anything to do with Tobias.

Isn’t that stupid? She wasted most of her youth waiting for someone but still ended up lonely?

That day, after she left the company, Skylar immediately got a taxi home. If it were the past, she would

have taken the subway instead.

However, more and more people were starting to recognize her. The last time she took the subway,

someone had taken a photo of her and posted it online. In the comments, some had said that she was

putting up a front.

Moreover, others also said that she had no morals and wanted to disrupt public order.

Skylar was speechless about such keyboard warriors.

Since when had my popularity gotten to that extent?

When she eventually arrived outside her house, she noticed that the lights were switched on

inside. Tobias didn’t say he’d be over tonight.

She then entered her password and opened the door only to see Tobias reading in the living room. As

soon as he saw her, he put the book down on the coffee table.

There were also many yellow-colored containers atop the coffee table.

“You didn’t text that you’d be over today,” she said as she bent over to take off her stiletto heels.

She had no idea why such international big-name high heels were so expensive. They rubbed against

the feet and were uncomfortable, clearly not caring for the user’s comfort at all.

“I suddenly decided to come and see you.”

Moving over to the sofa, she then sat down and glanced at the book he was reading. It was neither a

book about success nor was it a self-help book.

The title read: War and Peace. As soon as Skylar noticed the title, she lost interest, for she did not read

such literary masterpieces. At the age when she loved to read, she mostly read romance s.

Of the books she read, Sense & Sensibility was one that left a larger impression on her. Back then, she

envied Marianne Dashwood a lot because she met John Willoughby. He was attractive and was the

man of all women’s dreams.

However, once she grew up, Skylar came to realize how distorted her views were back then. As a

result, she later came to dislike John and instead supported Colonel Brandon.

Noticing that she seemed to be absent-minded, Tobias asked, “Why? Am I not welcome? If I’m not, I

can leave.”

Only upon hearing his question did she snap back to reality. She smiled and replied, “It’s all written on

my face. You’re very welcome here.”

He then pointed at the several glass containers on the table. “My chef made a few dishes tonight that

were quite good, so I got them to make another serving for you. Just heat it in the microwave, and you

can eat it.”

In reality, such details made her touched, even more so than receiving diamond necklaces did.

After all, it showed that he had thought of her. However, he had forgotten what she previously said. She

did not eat after six o’clock.

For some reason, Tobias often neglected a lot of her words.

Yet, to prevent him from thinking that she was putting up a front, she took the containers and headed

into the kitchen to warm the dishes up.

From the living room, he said, “There’s some spaghetti in the pot. It’s already cooked. Just heat the

other dishes.”

Skylar then stuck out from behind the wall and replied, “I just got home and haven’t even had time to

take a breath. Why can’t you help me warm them up?”
