Just then, Tobias came down from upstairs. He was still wearing the same light gray casual wear he had on before
Skylar left home earlier. It seemed like he hadn’t left the house the entire day.
After changing into slippers, Skylar went upstairs with Tobias. Her footsteps were heavy, and her thoughts were
written all over her face.
As Tobias could easily tell that Skylar was upset, he lifted her chin with one hand and asked, “Do you not like
Madelyn? Even though she’s a little chatty, she’s an efficient worker and has a warm personality. She’s a great cook
as well. I’ll get her to make a good meal for us tonight.”
Skylar sat down in front of her dressing table and removed her earrings. When she looked at herself in the mirror,
she noticed that her makeup started creasing as she was so busy the entire day that she did not have time to touch
up.
“I’m fine with any arrangement you make,” the woman replied placidly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTobias, who was standing behind Skylar, noticed the displeasure on her face. He leaned forward, and putting his
face next to hers, he said, “You can tell me right away if you’re not happy with this arrangement. You know I’m bad
at reading thoughts.”
Skylar met the man’s gaze and noticed a hint of impatience in his eyes. “I just haven’t been resting well lately and
keep having nightmares. Do you have any solution for that?”
“I’ll get you a crystal bracelet. Crystals have calming properties. After wearing it, you should stop having
nightmares. However, it might also be something psychological, and overcoming that aspect would depend on
yourself,” Tobias replied.
Upon hearing his words, Skylar knew that Valerie did not lie to her. Her crystal bracelet was indeed given to her by
Tobias.
“It’s the thought that counts. I don’t think I’ll need that bracelet. I guess there’s nothing I need to be afraid of since I
haven’t done anything against my conscience.”
Tobias moved towards one side and said plainly, “You were the one who asked if I had a solution, but you rejected it.
Well, I can’t help you then.”
Skylar picked up a cotton pad and started removing her eye makeup slowly while asking, “Would you allow me to
film a rape scene?”
Obviously, Tobias was no longer paying attention to the woman’s words and replied, “Were you thinking of don’t
that tonight? I can consider that, but I’m not very fond of these acts now that I’m getting older.”
The corners of Skylar’s lips curved into a smile as she said, “I know you prefer women removing your clothes and
having them doing all the work as it feels good for you. I’m sorry that I wasn’t sensible enough and always make
you exert yourself.”
Tobias frowned and replied, “What’s wrong with you today? You’ve been speaking in such a sarcastic manner. If
you’ve suffered grievances and you’re venting on me right now, I’m sorry, but I’m not the right person for that.”
Madelyn, who was outside the door, could clearly hear the two of them arguing. As such, even though she already
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad her knuckles on the door, she did not dare to knock.
“It’s not easy to be the woman of a rich man,” the housekeeper muttered to herself.
Seeing that Skylar was upset, Tobias started kissing her on her lips softly. He was so gentle that she could feel her
nerves tingle as her body went weak. Her heart was pounding madly, and her mind went blank as she gasped for
air.
It wasn’t often that Tobias kissed her in such a manner, gently yet firmly and passionately. It was as if he was
comforting her while coaxing her to remove her clothes.
“Did I offend you? I don’t remember doing any of that,” the man asked as he traced his hand down Skylar’s blouse.
Even though Skylar placed her hands in front of her chest instinctively, Tobias had still managed to lift up her
blouse, and at the same time, removed her bra.
Finally, Skylar could not help but ask, “What’s the relationship between you and Valerie?”
Tobias lost his mood at once when he heard that. He picked up Skylar’s blouse from the floor and put it on her
before replying, “What rumors did you hear? We don’t have any kind of relationship. Skylar, I remember telling you
that I would never cross the line with people who work with me, including my secretaries or business partners. I’ve
told you the same thing multiple times. Why do you have to question me on that? Do you think it’s even meaningful
to throw a tantrum and harp over such senseless matters?”
