Chapter 696


    Chapter 696 What Kind Of Life Did You Lead Back Then


    Tobias hated it when people disturbed his personal life. If his rtionship with Skr were to be


    exposed, he would surely end up on the covers of magazines.


    Skr did not sleep well the night before, so she got drowsy shortly after she slumped into her bed.


    However, just before she fell asleep, she heard Mavis talking on the phone. Although the woman was


    speaking in Spanish, Skr could more or less understand what was said.


    “I don''t have any more money. I''ve already lost count of all the creditors I paid off for you! We''re already


    divorced, and you still want me to clean up your mess for you? Why don''t you just drop dead?”


    I guess even superstars have quarrels when ites to money. Skr covered her head with her


    nket and pretended that she did not hear Mavis. She thought it was pretty awkward to overhear


    somebody else''s secret.


    Skr did not think that marrying into a wealthy family was the key to happiness, but somehow, her


    path crossed with Tobias'' nheless.


    Having rested for a while, Skr waited until Mavis fell asleep before going out to the little garden just


    in front of the hotel, where she saw Kai.


    The man was drinking alone there with a bottle of wine he got from the hotel owner. The alcoholic drink


    was not to his taste, but it was all he had.


    When Kai noticed Skr, his sense of loneliness immediately dissipated.


    Skr sat down on a swing next to him after he beckoned for her. “What are you doing drinking alone


    here? Aren''t you tired? In case you''ve forgotten, you have to wake up early tomorrow.”


    Kai was d that Skr seemed to be concerned for him. “I''m not tired. As long as you''re around, I''ll


    always be as lively as crickets. Besides, you''re still awake too. Is something troubling you?”


    “Of course not. I have countless fans rooting for me, which is something I still have trouble believing. To


    be liked by so many people is like a dreame true. I never thought that a TV show could kickstart


    my career like that. I''m doing so much better than before. At least I don''t have to worry about money.”


    Kai finished his drink before responding, “Well, it''s not just any TV show; we''re talking about Empyrean


    Sword here! Anyone who stars in that show is bound to be famous. Still, not everybody gets to


    fight for their dream like you do. Two years is all I have left in this industry.”


    Despite what Kai said, Skr did not think that it was her dream to be a superstar. On the


    contrary, she hated how her career had limited her freedom.


    She only joined the film academy because of Jeremy. Back then, she was in love and too young to


    think for herself.


    Skr took his boyfriend''s dream as her own and gradually lost herself along the way.


    Still, it was not something she would want to talk about, so she decided that it was easier to tell people


    that it was her dream to be a superstar.


    “Why would you want to quit when you''re so popr? It''s kind of a waste, don''t you think?” inquired

    Skr.


    Kai leaned back in the wooden chair and looked up to the night sky as the crickets'' chirped. “It''s not up


    to me. I have a family business to inherit, and my family''s not about to let me throw it away just


    because I have my own dream. My father only gave me two years to do what I want.”


    Skr knew close to nothing about the Ford family, for she had only met them once.


    Although, she did remember Kai''s father to be an amicable and polite person.


    Skr did not know what the Fords had been through or why nobody helped them when udia was in


    trouble.


    Tobias never told her what his life was like when he was little, but Sheldon would always tell her how


    pitiful they were back then.
