    Chapter 681 The Condoms Have Been Used


    “I hurt myself while peeling an apple. It''s no big deal. I''ll be fine in a few days.”


    Unsure whether Skr was telling the truth, Tobias sat next to her and swiftly loosened the bandages


    on her arm. Then, he saw the visible knife wound.


    To him, an injury like this was certainly nothing serious, but he couldn''t help but worry that she was in


    pain.

    “It''s fine if you don''t want to tell me the truth, but don''t ever put up with anyone picking on you. You


    have me, so there''s nothing for you to be afraid of,” remarked Tobias as he skillfully rewrapped the


    bandages around her arm.


    Skr grinned. “Who would ever pick on me? I''m a superstar now. I even have bodyguards! Only an


    idiot would think of messing with me.”


    Tobias kissed her on the back of her hand. “But why does a superstar like you seem so broke? I


    haven''t seen you buy anything for yourself. I''m curious to know where you spent all that money on.”


    Skr groaned internally. I could ask you the same thing. How could you have the heart to spend all


    your investors'' hard-earned money?


    She was so embarrassed that she couldn''t bring herself to admit that almost all the money had been


    used to pay off debts.


    I won''t be able to feed myself if I don''t film another movie.


    Female celebrities always ate, wore, and used the best things, but she couldn''t afford to buy herself


    anything branded at the moment.


    Tobias took a debit card out of his wallet and ced it on the coffee table. Since she refused to use a


    ck card, he figured that a regr debit card would do.


    Skr picked the card up and shoved it in Tobias'' pocket. “I''m not spending your money. Men and


    women should be equal. Why should I use your money when I can earn my own?”


    Tobias grew frustrated. “Why do you keep drawing the line and keeping a distance like that? When will


    you start treating me like family?”


    Yet, Skr knew from a young age that she could depend on no one but herself.


    She had lived with Meredith in an area where most families weren''t well off in the past. At times, there


    wererge households whose livelihoods depended solely on the man''s meager sry.


    That was why Skr couldn''t live without worries even if she had Tobias. She didn''t want to lie in bed


    all day and live like a noblewoman.


    For dinner, Madelyn had made some shrimp chowder. With chopped scallion sprinkled over the top, the


    dish smelled especially tempting.


    Skr grabbed her cutlery, but just as she was about to take a spoonful of the chowder, Tobias


    grabbed her bowl and ced it in front of him.


    She tried to reach for the bowl, only for Tobias to stop her by grabbing her hand.


    “Are we seriously fighting over a bowl of soup while I''m in this state?” she asked, referring to her


    injured arm.


    Tobias put his cutlery down and gazed deep into her eyes. “When have I ever taken the food you like


    from you? You shouldn''t be eating greasy stuff like this when you''re injured. It''ll cause your wound to


    heal less quickly. Don''t you have anymon sense?”


    Skr shook her head. No one had ever told her this. Besides, she used to live so simply that she


    didn''t get to learn such things.


    Madelyn had already left right after making dinner. It was her day off tomorrow, but she had asked


    Skr if she could leave earlier.


    When Skr asked why, Madelyn had turned red and struggled to answer. It was only after a long


    while that she exined, “My husband''s working on a site nearby. I want to see him.”


    That was when Skr recalled something. She had noticed a box of condoms while tidying one of the


    drawers earlier that day.


    As far as she could remember, the box had not been opened previously. But that day, the outer


    packaging had been unsealed, and there was only one condom left inside.
