Tobias shot him a cold glare in response, prompting Sheldon to hold a hand over his mouth as he ran off.

With only Tobias and Idania left in the office, the awkward silence between them made the atmosphere thick with

tension.

Instead of showing Tobias the documents, Idania carefully retrieved a red velvet box from her handbag. The box

looked a little dirty and darker in color from how old it was.

She then opened the box in front of him, revealing a pair of rings inside. They were simple and elegant in design

without any additional embellishments nor patterns on them.

Tobias frowned at her as he found the rings rather familiar.

Idania flashed him a bitter smile and said, “The other reason behind my visit today is to return these rings to you.

We were going to put them on for our marriage back then, but I don’t think they are of any use to me now. You

should hand it over to the woman worthy of wearing it.”

Tobias took the box over and examined the rings inside. Both of their names could be found engraved on the inside

of the ring.

He then closed the box with a loud snap and handed it back to her.

“I gave it to you as a gift back then, so you have the right to do whatever you want with this. Feel free to throw

them away if you don’t want to keep them. I have no use for them anyway.”

Idania felt hurt by his cold attitude and protested anxiously, “B-But this is different! These are wedding rings, and

they hold a different meaning as opposed to engagement rings! I can’t be keeping our wedding rings now that

you’ve got yourself a girlfriend! That’d be unfair for her! You should give this to her instead!”

Tobias frowned before breaking into a sarcastic chuckle. “How will she wear it if it isn’t even her size? Why are you

returning these rings to me now? Are you trying to remind me that I nearly married you back then? Take them

away. My girlfriend wouldn’t want used goods anyway!”

Idania’s gaze fell upon the pair of rings upon hearing that. Overwhelmed by emotions, her legs gave way and

caused her to slump against the sofa in front of him.

“Are you still mad at me for leaving without saying goodbye back then? I had my reasons for doing that! You have

no idea how sad I was when I left! It could very well be the thing I regret doing the most in life!” she shouted with a

melancholic look in her eyes.

If she’s looking for someone who loves living in the past, then she’s definitely come to the wrong person… Tobias

thought to himself as he stared at her.

“Everyone has their own difficult problems to deal with. I felt nothing when you left back then, and I have done

nothing to wrong you either, so I hold no grudges against you whatsoever.”

Idania bit down on her lip as her eyes began to tear up. She then whipped out a kraft paper bag from her handbag

and seemed to have come prepared.

She had been feeling extremely uncomfortable ever since she saw the news about Skylar yesterday. Although the

man’s face wasn’t clearly shown in the pictures, she was able to figure out that it must have been Tobias.

That was when she knew she couldn’t just sit around idly anymore. She knew full well what she wanted as well as

why she had returned. As someone who never admitted defeat, going all out to achieve her goals was all she could

do.

Having spent such a long time with Tobias in the past, she understood him very well. Despite being a cold and

decisive person on the outside, he had a soft spot for women and would easily take pity on them.

That was exactly what happened between him and Skylar, as her tragic past aroused his desire to protect and care

for her.

Idania took a deep breath and mustered every ounce of courage she had in her as she said, “I left you back then

because I was sick, and I didn’t want to be a burden to you. I thought I’d get myself treated and reappear before

you in good health, but… Unfortunately, life seems to hate me, and my sickness has relapsed.”
