Chapter 21
She knew she would have to face him sooner or later, but until then, she wished to stall for time for as long as she could.
Before Tobias, she felt like a fish fresh out of the water, half-dying but struggling to live.
“I think you might have dirtied the bedsheet…”
Skylar looked puzzled.
With Tobias pointing at the sheet, she shifted her gaze and looked down at the white bedsheet that was now blotched red.
She tried to hide them with her hands, her face flushing a beet red.
“Does your hands come with an automatic purifying function?” Tobias teased.
Oh, how I wish I have that special power. The first thing I’ll do is to purify your damned heart!
“Please turn around. I’m going to change the bedsheet,” Skylar said in embarrassment, and Tobias was surprisingly cooperative. novelbin
Skylar was about to remove the bedsheet when she stood frozen by the bed.
Wait a minute, why do I have to look after my image in front of him? I might as well present myself shabbily so that he’ll get sick of me and stop coming over.
Yes, that’s right. That’s what I should do!
With that, Skylar plastered a wicked smile on her face and said, “I think I’ll just let it be, Mr. Ford. It’s a little too troublesome. Are you sure you want to join me in bed? There’s blood on it, and it’s on your side of the bed, not mine.”
Tobias clenched his jaw in frustration. He looked back and saw that Skylar had hopped back into bed again.
“Move. You’re sleeping on that side,” he said, furrowing his brows.
With a man lying beside her and an extra weight on her waist, Skylar couldn’t sleep a wink.
It was five in the morning. The sky wasn’t fully lit, although a beam of light could be seen from afar.
Tossing around in bed, she turned around and looked sideways at the man beside her.
Tobias was sound asleep and half-naked, his strong muscles outlining his perfect figure.
This man beside her surely had the charm of a mature man that no woman could resist while he was asleep.
But awoken, he was a totally different person – a devil, in fact.
So given his look and wealth, why did he choose me? Or should I say I am only one of his many women who he had chosen to sleep with tonight?
Skylar scrambled out of bed, wanting to find something to eat downstairs when she suddenly remembered that they had been using the same blanket last night.
She was so used to sleeping alone and hogging the blanket to herself that everything felt odd that night. Occasionally, she would even use the blanket like a bolster as it was the position that made her feel safe.
Because of that, Tobias didn’t get to cover himself at all throughout the night, and his half-naked body was exposed to the air.
Skylar had wanted to tuck him in, but on second thought, she mumbled, “Forget it, it’s not like you’re shivering, anyway.”
In order to cut down on her expenses, Skylar had only eaten a portion of oden from the convenience store since yesterday.
Having stayed up all night, she was so hungry that her stomach was growling.
At that time, it was still too early, so Laura had yet to wake up.
Thus, Skylar put on her coat and found a morning market nearby through the navigation application on her phone.
It took her about half an hour by foot to eventually find a breakfast place.
International Garden was a high-end residential area, and one would usually travel by car to get to the facilities around the neighborhood.
Skylar ordered four croissants and a cup of soy milk.
Holding the cup of warm soy milk in her hand and gulping it down, she felt a warm current welling up in her stomach.
How she wished she could stay outside for as long she could.
Yet, no matter how reluctant she was, she still had to go back to the villa.
