If it were any other person that bullied his daughter, Thomas would have moved mountains just to

teach him a lesson.

Tobias was calm as he looked plainly at Thomas. “The discussion doesn’t sound amicable to me.”

When he saw how miserable Skylar looked as she bit her lip, he couldn’t help but pity her.

Thomas quickly explained, “Skylar is someone emotional. I don’t know what I have said to upset her.”

Despite his reluctance, Thomas still had to hide his feelings. Furthermore, he knew Skylar wouldn’t say

much to Tobias too. Nevertheless, he wasn’t going to let the matter slide that easily.

After regaining her composure, Skylar’s crying expression had changed into a smiling face. “Mr. Jones,

since you know you will upset me when you say the wrong thing, please don’t ever appear in front of

me again. After all, we don’t know each other well.”

Thomas suppressed his anger. “Skylar, you… Don’t regret it. I’m still your father in the end. Mr. Ford

won’t like ladies that don’t acknowledge their family. I have always taught you to be kind.”

Thomas said all those in front of Tobias on purpose.

Skylar’s smile slightly froze. She could only remember the neighbor’s children laughing at her for not

having any parents to educate her. And yet, Thomas could still shamelessly claim that he had taught

her life’s lessons.

If one really learned from Thomas, one would act no differently from an animal.

Not willing to see the animosity between father and daughter escalate further, Tobias turned his

attention to Thomas. “I know you are here to ask about Avery and you don’t have to feel bad about

that. There’s no need for you to lecture Skylar as someone else will do it. Instead, you should have a

heart-to-heart talk with your other daughter. Ask her who taught her to appear in my room in the middle

of the night in sexy lingerie.”

Shocked, Thomas was visibly agitated, “My daughter won’t do such a thing.”

Tobias squinted his eyes and responded sharply, “Are you saying that I’m lying?”

Thomas was again speechless. He mumbled to himself, “Avery is a good girl. She must have been set

up by someone else.”

Tobias ran out of patience and ushered Thomas to leave.

Meanwhile, Skylar still felt troubled when standing beside Tobias. The whole time they were there,

Tobias didn’t let go of her hand.

“Thank you for helping me again.”

Tobias’ eyes flashed with melancholy. As he lifted Skylar’s chin with his fingers, he stroked it gently.

When he saw that she no longer looked like crying, he replied softly, “There’s no need to thank me.

After all, this had nothing to do with you. There’s no need to cry for those that don’t matter to us as it

will just be a waste of tears.”

Skylar raised her gaze and smiled. “You probably don’t know what it feels like to be abandoned. I feel

the same devastating pain in my heart every time I see him.”

Tobias’ expression darkened. “How can I not know? You make me feel that way every time I see you. I

feel as if you will leave me anytime. Things always seem to end before they even start.”

Stumped by Tobias’ words, she chuckled softly. “Mr. Ford, you flatter me. I don’t have such power over

you.”

Tobias snorted before letting out a gentle smile. “You are a real problem for me. I never had the

patience for women nor bothered to interact much with them. But, I must admit my feelings for you are

complicated. You should head back to school now. Only time will give me an answer.”
