Chapter 754 Perfect For Tobias


    Skr could empathize with Penelope. Having known each other for many years, Skr was


    extremely familiar with thetter''s family.


    Penelope''s mother, in particr, was the epitome of having a sharp tongue. Whenever Skr went


    out with Penelope, the older woman would always ask, “Will your mother ever be released from


    prison? Did you visit her? Do you still hate her?”


    Skr would be peppered with questions that added salt to her wounds.


    When Skr came out with Penelope in tow, she noticed the paparazzi taking pictures of them from


    afar. Hence, she waved in their direction, gesturing for them to stop.


    It went without saying that the paparazzi ignored her signal. Regardless of how hard she waved her


    hand, nothing would get in their way of clicking their cameras furiously.


    Right when she managed to hail a taxi, the driver was shocked by the sight of her. He eximed,


    “You''re actually taking a taxi. I can''t believe how down-to-earth a superstar like you is!”


    Skr gave the driver her address. Since Tobias was unlikely toe home that evening, she


    nned to take Penelope there. She didn''t care what was going through his mind. The thought of


    him abandoning her at the parking lot continued to infuriate her.


    As the drunk Penelope leaned against Skr''s shoulder, she let out a burp and began speaking


    with the stench of alcohol around her. “Do you know how much I envy you, Skr? I can''t believe


    how good your life is. To be honest, I still can''t bring myself to forget Brayden. I''m definitely going to


    make him pay for ruining my entire life.”


    Some time ago, Skr had run into Brayden. She also heard that his wife was given two-thirds of


    his assets in their divorce. The fact that she had been nning to exact revenge on him was the


    reason why she initially tolerated Brayden''s infidelity.

    With Penelope pining for Brayden still, Skr kept news of thetter''s divorce from her friend. She


    was worried that Penelope would attempt a reconciliation despite dering her hatred for him.


    Before she could retrieve her key, Skr heard a noise behind the door. At the same time, her back


    was about to break from supporting the drunk Penelope, who wasn''t cooperative at all. With sweat


    covering her forehead, Skr felt as if all the alcohol she had drunk earlier had already evaporated


    from her body.


    Thinking that it was Madelyn who was getting the door, Skr felt puzzled, for the former was


    usually asleep at that hour. Under normal circumstances, only family members would wait up for


    one''s return. Moreover, Madelyn was also someone who stuck to a strict routine.


    If Skr were toe home past ten, Madelyn would definitely go to bed first, as ten had


    inadvertently be her self-dictated time to get off work.


    Thus, Skr was stunned to see Tobias when the door opened. With her grip around Penelope


    tightening, she stood motionless at the door, showing no intention of entering. Consequently, an


    inexplicable tension descended upon the air around them.


    “I thought you weren''ting back tonight.” Worried that Penelope could no longer stay on her feet,


    Skr figured it would be wise to bring her into the house first. She then reminded Penelope to


    watch where she was going, for thetter could barely walk in a straight line.


    With her cheeks burning red and having lost all inhibitions, Penelope pointed a finger at Tobias'' face


    as if to challenge him. It was something no one in their right mind would ever dare do.


    “Did you go out and drink just because I''m noting home?” Tobias was not in the mood to hide


    his displeasure. He was, after all, someone conservative who didn''t like his woman to drink or


    smoke. The fact that Skr didn''t have any of these bad habits made her perfect for him.
