Skylar yelled at Jackson in frustration, “Have you no common sense at all? Can you please stay away

from me? Get out of my sight at once and stop interrupting my life!”

Suddenly, she reached for her phone because she received a notification. Jackson craned over, asking

curiously in an attempt to take a peek at her phone, “Who is it? What is it about?”

Skylar pushed Jackson’s chubby cheeks away because he was merely a few inches away from her

screen.

Tobias: I’ll drop by the university in the evening.

Every time Skylar received a text from Tobias, she felt as though she was a secret agent because

Tobias’ text was like a series of morse codes that would require decipherment. Most of the time, he

wouldn’t bother to punctuate his text, leading to further confusion.

Skylar swiftly swiped her fingers across the keypads and drafted her reply within a few seconds.

Skylar: I’ll be joining my friends for dinner tonight. I won’t be around because we’ll be away for

a karaoke session after our meal.

She wasn’t lying because she would be hanging out with her course mates, singing to their hearts’

content after their meal tonight.

Initially, she didn’t want to take part in it, but since everyone else had indicated their will to join the

activities, she had no choice but to go along with the majority.

Jackson’s goofy smile was nowhere to be seen as his expression changed into a gloomy one. “Are you

going out tonight? Who is it? Make sure you behave yourself and remember your role as my wife,

okay?”

Skylar couldn’t believe her ears and almost pass out because of the absurdity of the geek’s statement.

She secretly warned herself to stay away from geeks in the future unless she enjoyed being annoyed.

She proceeded to reply with a bright grin sarcastically, “Who else could it be apart from my boyfriend?

Am I not allowed to go out on a date with my boyfriend?”

The geek had his doubts. He denoted, “I know you don’t have a boyfriend. Apart from that, I’m pretty

sure no one else will get into a relationship with you if they’re aware your mother is a murderer. My

mother is the only open-minded one who’s able to accept you as a member of our family.”

Skylar had a hard time catching her breath when she heard Jackson’s statement. She would never

allow others to address her mother in such a demeaning manner.

She glared at him and warned, “You better keep your mouth shut and stay away from me! If you insist

on following me, I’ll lodge a report and get the police officers to throw you behind bars!”

He got anxious all of a sudden because Skylar was punching in the numbers as they spoke. “Calm

down, Skylar! I’ll leave immediately. However, I’ll be back to pick you up after your activities. It’s

dangerous for you to walk home alone at night.”

As soon as Jackson departed, Skylar, who had yet to regain her composure, received another call from

Tobias.

The moment she picked up the call, she heard the indifferent and callous tone of the man, stating as

though he was delivering his instructions. “I’m waiting for you at the entrance of the university. I want

you to get over within ten minutes.”

She replied, “That’s impossible! I’m still in my dormitory! If you want me to get there within ten minutes,

why don’t you get me a pair of wings?”

Tobias was harsh with his choice of words, but he replied in a gentle tone, “Oh? I can’t get you a pair of

wings, but I can give you the best time of your life soon. You should cut the small talk and get going

already. Stop wasting my time.”

By the time Skylar attempted to rebuke the man once more, she could only hear the ambient noise

from her phone because he had hung up the call.

Judging by the tone and the noise she heard, she thought Tobias was in the middle of driving.

Therefore, if she turned him down and insisted on staying in the dorm, she knew he would barge into

the dormitory and drag her out against her will.

She decided to save her the trouble of being embarrassed in front of others again. After she made up

her mind, she sprinted in the direction of the entrance.

Once she reached the entrance of the university, the panting woman saw Tobias. She could barely

catch her breath because she had been running all the way.

Frowning, Tobias checked on his watch and announced, “You’re three minutes late.”

Skylar resisted her urge to roll her eyes in front of Tobias. Oh, God! Please punish me if I have sinned,

but please stop sending Tobias my way!

She took a deep breath and rebuked, “Excuse me? I have been running all the way here! Do you really

think I can fly?”

Tobias reached over and ran his fingers through her unkempt hair, asserting with a smile, “Didn’t you

need my help to install a pair of wings? Let’s see if we can deal with it tonight.”

As she was conscious of the meaning behind Tobias’ words, she took a few steps back to keep her

distance. To conceal the fact she was anxious, she cleared her throat and put on a calm front.

Tobias heard it and stubbed out the barely smoked cigarette after he heaved one final smoke out of his

mouth.
