Chapter 99


    She took a peek at him and exined, “I wasn’t sure what your cravings were—I didn’t want to ce the


    wrong order because I can’t afford to waste my money.”


    If it weren’t because of Skr, Tobias would never show up at a fast-food retail chain. He asked the


    waiter over to take his orders because he didn’t feel like getting into the long queue.


    “What brings you to me today? Do you need someone to get rid of your physiological needs again?”


    Since they were no longer on the campus, Skr didn’t bother to hold back and paid no heed to her


    choices of words anymore.


    She pretended as though she was fine, but she was on pins and needles whenever she was around him.


    Nevertheless, she had learned her lesson and figured a method to control her emotions.


    “Isn’t it the same for you? After all, it had been quite a few days since west met.” Tobias brought up an


    embarrassing topic casually and made it sound as if it was nothing worth making a fuss out of it.


    Even though Skr could barely remain calm when she heard his out blunt reply, she tried her best to


    suppress her emotion and asked, “Why are you here when you’re getting married tomorrow? I have


    sinned and vited the tenmandments over and over again. Do you want to put me on an express


    ride to hell? Why don’t you return to your loved ones if that’s what you’re here for?”


    “Can you stop chasing me away? Are you afraid of me?” he replied indifferently because he felt slightly


    helpless as well.


    Skr pursed her lips because she was at a loss for better words to reply to his query—he was spot on,


    yet she couldn’t possibly blurt out the things she had in her mind.


    She avoided his gaze and enjoyed her ss of coke that was full of ice, chomping the ice as though she


    had forgotten the things she told Tobias about half an hour ago.


    “Who will you be going out on a date with tonight?” Tobias peered straight into her eyes as he queried. It


    sounded as though he was trying to interrogate her.


    “Actually, there are quite a few handsome young men involved. I’ll think about it when I feel like itter


    on.”


    “Aren’t you heading out with your soon-to-be husband? Speaking of which, I should congratte you on


    getting everything sorted out within the span of a few days. You’re unbelievably swift.”


    Skr was taken aback by his words, but she knew it would be impossible to keep him in the darks. To


    be blunt, he was the reason she had to go through the series of misfortunes over the past few days.


    She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Are you the one who has sent him to propose to my aunt and uncle?


    Why does the dowry have to be three hundred thousand? Are you trying to gloat over my misfortune?”


    Smirking, Tobias cast a contemptuous gaze at Skr, indicating he was looking down upon her. “Are you


    serious? Three hundred thousand is all it takes to win your uncle and aunt over? I wasn’t the one behind


    this, though. Can you make use of the brain you have been blessed with? Why would I show up in front


    of you if I’m trying to get rid of you?”


    Skr’s eyshes quivered because she found his words logical. She received a text from her course


    mate out of the blue. It was a text that urged her to submit the contribution fees for the activities that


    would be held soon.

    Each of them was required to contribute a hundred. She gritted her teeth and transferred the required


    sum within a few minutes. After she was done, she got up from her seat and said, “I have to return to the


    campus, Mr. Ford. Since you’re getting married tomorrow, I believe we won’t get to see one another that


    frequently in the future. I don’t have anything for you to celebrate the joyous asion. Why don’t you


    take this cup of coke as your wedding gift from me? It’s all I have to offer.”


    She felt awful deep down after saying her piece. In anticipation of his response, she nced at him.


    He finished her cup of coke using the straw that was crippled and assured her, “Actually, we’ll be seeing


    each other quite frequently from today onwards. For instance, we’ll be spending a night in bed together


    tonight. Give me a call after you’re done. I’ll drop by and pick you up, but please be hurry because I can’t


    stay upte since I’m no longer young.”


    Skr lost herself, staring at Tobias as he finished her cup of coke because she was confused by his


    words.


    She thought Tobias would definitely be one of the tops in showbiz and put others to shame due to his


    outstanding look if he were involved in the industry.
