Sheldon finally understood why Tobias acquired the real-estate company near the villa district some time back. Did

he pull off that Herculean task to make Skylar’s life more comfortable?

He was definitely spending way too much just to mess around with women. As for Winnie, Sheldon’s hands were

tied. He assumed that she was about eighty percent insane. Seeing how well Skylar was drove Winnie to such

jealousy that she even tried to expose their relationship.

Sheldon had yet to enter his residence when he was drawn to the sound of Winnie’s lamentations at the park close

by.

From a distance, Sheldon noticed that Winnie was sitting alone on a bench. Loneliness and melancholy were written

all over her face, just like when Sheldon first met her.

Men could not resist being knights in shining armor. If not for what happened in the past, Sheldon would have had

more compassion for Winnie.

Winnie finally made her way to Sheldon, behaving quite like a spoiled child, and hugged him. “Why are you here? I

thought you’d be pissed and continue avoiding me. I know what I did was wrong. I only wanted Mrs. Ford to like me,

that’s all! I wouldn’t dare do it again! You’ve ignored me for too long, Sheldon. I promise to be more well-behaved

and obedient.”

Sheldon sighed, holding onto the last vestiges of his patience with her. “There’s no point. My mother is a very

strong-willed person. That ship has sailed the moment you messed up, and there’s no remedying that. I’m also not

going to turn my back on my mother for your sake.”

Winnie cried louder, her tears staining Sheldon’s shirt. “But I don’t care! You promised that you’d treat me well

forever, that we’d get married. And now you’re just tossing me aside? What am I going to do?”

Right then, Sheldon wanted nothing to do with Winnie. This woman was clingier than he thought. “I’ll think it over.

The both of us need some space anyway,” said Sheldon with a perfunctory gaze at her. “After a while, I’ll give you

an answer. How about that?”

“Oh, is that how it is? Every one of you is being mean to me. Do you know what I have to endure? I’m getting so

much flak from Skylar’s fans every day, and now all the netizens are making fun of me. I’m being trampled on

because they’re all supporting her. And it got so bad that I went to the hospital for an evaluation. Do you know what

I was diagnosed with? Depression! He diagnosed me with severe depression! I just don’t have the will to go on any

longer!”

Winnie then fished out a hospital report and thrust it in front of Sheldon.

Despite that, Sheldon didn’t even spare the report a glance and laughed. “You people in the entertainment industry.

There’s always something wrong with you guys, right? Today, it’s depression. Who knows if that’s even true?”

Meanwhile, at Skylar’s place.

“Why are you here so late? Are we going to make babies?” Skylar smiled teasingly and took Tobias’ suit jacket off

him.

Tobias groaned as he sat down. “You know I am not interested in having any.” He managed to painstakingly leave

the car before settling on her couch. After a busy day, his body felt no reprieve. Tobias looked at Skylar with a

pained expression on his face.

When compared to Skylar’s vigor, his fared much worse.

Madelyn was about to enter the kitchen but was ordered by Tobias to rest earlier. He was simply implying that she

had no reason to be here this late and that she was in the way.

Unfortunately, Madelyn failed to get what Tobias meant. “But I was going to make you something warm to eat!”

Tobias was too exhausted to deal with this. Impatiently, he said, “No need for that, just go to bed. We’ll be fine.”

Upon that, Madelyn was surprised. Skylar, having noticed that Tobias was not in a good mood, merely winked at

Madelyn. She then left the room.

As Tobias lounged on the sofa, Skylar was flipping through the script that Kate brought her. The show was meant to

be premiered during the New Year. The Pretty Detective franchise had been quite popular in recent years.

The show was also the director’s way of extending the olive branch to Skylar. As such, an audition was required,

and the follow-up details were finalized.

Tobias changed his posture and lay on his back instead, observing how Skylar was so focused on her script; it was

like nothing else existed.

“I’m not feeling so good. Can you just give me a massage?” asked Tobias, clearly fatigued. The pair had been apart

for a while, and somehow, Skylar seemed a little colder towards him.
