Winnie was on pins and needles. She thought everything was perfectly planned and under control. But

little did she know, Skylar was such an expert when it came to food. She had such a discerning palate.

How could she even know that? Her sense of smell is as good as a dog’s.

After dinner, Tobias let the housekeeper cut the cake into few pieces. Skylar put the plate in front of

Claudia.

She didn’t insist on forcing Claudia to eat the cake. Anyway, she had shown her sincerity.

Claudia pointed at the sofa opposite her. “Have a seat.” She acted like a queen who was issuing an

order.

Skylar did as she was told respectfully. She sat upright, resting her feet firmly on the ground and both

feet close to each other. She didn’t seem overcautious.

She put every theory she learned from her lessons into practice.

Tobias was about to sit down as he was afraid that Claudia would make things difficult for Skylar.

Before he could sit down, Skylar purposely gave him a nudge and smiled. “Mrs. Ford and I are having

some women talk. What are you doing here?”

She could see from Claudia’s eyes that she didn’t want Tobias to be there.

Skylar simply sent Tobias away with some random excuses.

Before he walked away, he caressed her hair gently. His eyes were full of affection. Claudia had only

seen that kind of gaze when Tobias was looking at Idania.

Speaking of Idania, Claudia heard that she was back recently. She was an executive president of a

foreign company. Back then, Claudia didn’t like Idania very much.



She disliked Idania for another reason. She had different feelings towards Skylar. Women knew women

better.

Idania was a scheming one. She looked soft and weak on the outside, but her gaze was ruthless and

tough. Claudia could never forget that look.

At that time, the Fords weren’t as good as they were today. Ford Group was not that successful either

back then. Idania once revealed to Claudia from their conversation that she wanted to take over Ford

Group after their marriage.

Claudia sized Skylar up from head to toe. She admitted that Skylar was naturally beautiful. How could a

man even resist a pretty woman like her? “Do you know the reason why I don’t like you?”

She nodded her head. “I know, Mrs. Ford. I understand that you don’t actually care much about my

family background. You thought it was me who ruined Tobias’ marriage. In fact, I have my own reasons

and it wasn’t that easy for me to tell. I’m not as bad as you think. My parents got divorced because of

the other woman. Since then, my father left my mother and I behind. I never have the chance to

experience the feeling of being loved by a mother or a father. Therefore, I won’t do something that is

against my conscience.”

Skylar could only defend herself by telling her history. She could not be possibly telling Claudia that it

was Tobias who pushed her to the corner. She had no other choice but to compromise.

Claudia knew that much about her background. She pinched the bridge of her nose and replied weakly,

“You’ve already reminded me about being together with my son for quite a long time. If I were to

forcibly break you guys apart, it would only make me an immature and inconsiderate parent. However,

even if I don’t object to your relationship, that doesn’t mean I can accept that willingly.”

Skylar was relieved to hear that. It was such a load off her mind. Nothing was worse than Claudia being

furious and claiming to cut off all ties with Tobias.



She smiled at her. “Mrs. Ford, I don’t know how to make a promise either. I really like Tobias a lot. I’m

willing to give my everything for him. But who knows what the future holds? Anyway, I’m just a person

who stays by his side and keeps him company. He is a lonely soul. He doesn’t let others into his heart.

To be honest, he is not going to marry me too. All I could do is to be by his side silently and make every

day counts. If he gets tired of me someday, I will leave no matter how painful it is. Hence, Mrs. Ford,

you don’t have to worry about the Ford family being a laughingstock should I marry into the family.

There isn’t always a happy ending even we love someone with all our heart and soul.”

Claudia’s gaze gradually darkened. She closed her eyes and smiled bitterly after hearing Skylar’s last

sentence. “It’s always the woman who suffers in a relationship. You’re going to regret it someday for
