Chapter 21


    She knew she would have to face him sooner orter, 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…”


    Skr looked puzzled.


    With Tobias pointing at the sheet, she shifted her gaze and looked down at the white bedsheet that was


    now blotched red.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She tried to hide them with her hands, her face flushing a beet red.


    “Does your handse 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,” Skr said in embarrassment, and Tobias was


    surprisingly cooperative.


    Skr 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 stoping over.


    Yes, that’s right. That’s what I should do!


    With that, Skr stered 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 Skr 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, Skr 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?


    Skr scrambled out of bed, wanting to find something to eat downstairs when she suddenly


    remembered that they had been using the same nketst night.


    She was so used to sleeping alone and hogging the nket to herself that everything felt odd that night.


    asionally, she would even use the nket 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.


    Skr 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, Skr 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, Skr 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 ce.


    International Garden was a high-end residential area, and one would usually travel by car to get to the


    facilities around the neighborhood.


    Skr 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 vi.
