Chapter 620 Old Enough To Be Your Dad
Staring at the dark clouds outside the car window, Skylar heard the sky rumble, as if a thunderstorm was
approaching.
She was listening to Miranda nagging about money.
Sick of hearing it, she stuffed her ears with her earphones, which were quickly taken down by an exasperated
Miranda.
Miranda glared at her. “Skylar, can you at least show some concern? Setting aside the matter of how much of the
redevelopment compensation is mine, you can’t go on offending every single person within the family. What’s the
use of leaving the old manor there? Will it bring your grandma back? Wake up, and stop dreaming.”
Skylar averted her gaze away from Miranda’s scowling face, for she knew the latter was just worried about being
humiliated in front of their relatives, making things awkward for her going forward.

Evidently, Miranda wasn’t aware that those same relatives had ridiculed her during her time in prison. They had
never shown her any respect, to begin with.
In fact, she was nothing but the butt of their jokes.
“Skylar, your mom has been locked up for so long, do you miss her?”
“Going forward, remember not to reveal to anyone that your mom is a convicted murderer. If you do, no one will
be willing to marry you due to your family history.”
“Despite how pretty your mom was back then, look at how she ended up? You had better not follow in her
footsteps.”
Back then, she too wondered if she would manage to find a husband because her relatives did have a point. No
ordinary family would be willing to accept someone like her.
Skylar remarked casually, “I don’t care if you believe it or not, but I wasn’t aware of this matter. What else can I do
when you rather believe your niece over your own daughter?”
Having heard Skylar’s response, Miranda began to be filled with doubt and asked, “Did you really not know about
it?”
Skylar replied, “I don’t. Tobias seldom chats with me, let alone about something related to his work.”
In the face of Skylar’s strange behavior, Miranda gaped in shock and confusion.
“Are you serious? Since when do couples rarely talk to each other? Are you a mute? You should take the initiative to
make conversation. Nonetheless, I do understand that you might not have common interests due to the fact that
Tobias is a lot older than you are. If he wasn’t rich, I would have hoped that you find a partner who’s closer to you in
age. I gave birth to you when I was nineteen, and you’re now twenty-one. Since he is older than you by twelve
years, he is old enough to be your dad if you add on a few more years.”
Skylar was tickled by Miranda’s sense of humor, for she could imagine the look on Tobias’ face when he heard those
words. After all, he was very particular about his age.
In fact, he had even commented before that he felt as if he was raising a child.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter sending Miranda home, Skylar breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she left, Miranda reminded her, “Go back home and talk to him properly.”
Since it was late, Skylar returned to find Tobias sitting on the sofa. He was wearing a white shirt tucked into a pair of
navy blue pants. With his jacket placed on the side of the sofa, his black metal belt buckle looked inconspicuous
without a brand logo.
The sight of him reminded her of the time she got to know some boys while working in the hotel. They loved to
wear tight-fitting jeans and show off their belt buckle which was the shape of an “H.”
Even then, the vibes they exuded weren’t even compatible with their fake Hermès belts.
When Tobias heard the sound of footsteps, he turned the television off with his remote control. While doing so, the
Patek Philippe watch on his hand demonstrated his masculine aura.
He didn’t ask her why she was late that evening. Instead, he took out a box of morning-after pills and put them on
the table.
Blushing in embarrassment, Skylar swiftly picked the box up.
