Skylar showed him the member card she had acquired a few minutes ago and said, “Thanks, but I can at least

afford a meal. Allow me to turn down the offer since you have finished your meal.”

Out of the blue, Tobias asserted in a serious manner, “Are you sure you haven’t misperceived my words? She had

paid me a visit for a formal discussion regarding a proposal. In other words, she was here to pitch her idea instead

of the things you had in mind.”

“Mr. Ford, would you meet others in person? Haven’t you always sent your subordinates to deal with prospects? Are

you telling me you have always been such an enthusiastic and easygoing man?” Skylar replied with her lips

twitching.

Tobias was irked by the things Skylar mentioned and thought something had gotten into her mind.

Indeed, I have agreed to meet her in person because she’s my ex, but the things Skylar has in mind have never

crossed mine!

Once Skylar placed her order, Tobias took a seat opposite her to keep her company.

She said, “If you’re serious about our relationship, aren’t you supposed to act like my better half? I know you dislike

being nagged the most, but you need to stop picking on me.”

The man opposite her nodded in return.

A few minutes later, he said, “You should be grateful I have stopped picking on you.”

She placed her cutlery aside and stopped savoring her meal because she wasn’t in the mood to eat anymore.

“Why? To begin with, we’re never equal. I have no choice but to listen to you because you’re always the dominant

one in our relationship. Unsure if you’re going to dump me in the near future, the thought of breaking up and

getting into a relationship with an ordinary man crosses my mind. At least an ordinary man will apologize instead of

behaving like I’m the one at fault.”

Tobias accidentally shattered the cup he held into pieces when he heard Skylar’s reply. Consequently, his palm

started bleeding.

She rushed over and grasped his wrist, trying her best to stop him from bleeding with a napkin.

“Have you lost your mind? Aren’t you aware of the consequences of your action when you’re an adult? How could

you hurt yourself?”

It was a serious cut, but Tobias didn’t even flinch. He said, “I guess you’re serious about the part you’re no longer

the same. You can always tell me when you’re ready to leave because I won’t try to stop you as well.”

Skylar pinched his wound with all her might when she heard him.

She regretted worrying about him because his reply had rendered her completely speechless.

When she was about to tell him she had no intention to leave just yet, he got ahead of her and asked with a frown,

“Can you move away from me? Are you trying to get your revenge by hurting me?”

He was irked because she wouldn’t stop pinching his wound.

After that, she suggested rushing him to the hospital and completely forgot the initial reason she was there.

However, he rinsed his wound and said, “You need to stop making a fuss out of everything because it’s not a big

deal.”

His response piqued her curiosity and made her wondered if his tolerance level had something to do with his

upbringing. When Jeremy accidentally cut himself back in the day, he would shriek in pain as though it was a serious

injury.

However, Tobias didn’t even flinch when it was a deep cut.

At the end of the session, Skylar returned him the member card since he was the rightful owner. On top of that, she

was never a fan of that particular type of cuisine. She had no intention to hang out around the area of Tobias’

company either.

Once she returned home, Skylar retrieved the first-aid kit and started searching for the gauze to bandage the

wound.

Standing behind her, Tobias said, “I think it’ll be completely healed by the time you find it. How many times have I

told you to keep the items in the first-aid kit organized?”

She started complaining, “Stop exaggerating things! I’ll go get one immediately! We need to keep it bandaged to

stop it from being infected!”

Suddenly, he held her wrist and said, “Just keep me company for a short while.”
