Chapter 131


    Skr whispered to him, “That’s enough now. He’s actually quite pitiful, you know? He was always


    bullied back in school. He didn’t really do anything wrong other than being a tad stubborn. He’ll realize


    his mistake soon enough.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Tobias retorted coldly, “Are you saying that I’m the one at fault? So I should just let my woman be


    subjected to such revolting photos in the middle of the night?”


    Skr grumbled silently. Why is he getting so worked up over this? It’s not like I looked at them on


    purpose.


    After receiving that kick, Jackson seemed like he was on the verge of death. Until now, the agonizing


    pain in his groin had not diminished one bit.


    He was no longer raring for a fight. Instead, he began to y the victim to garner sympathy. “I don’t know


    what I did wrong. Am I wrong to like you, Skr? All I want is to be there for you.”


    He staggered onto his feet and picked up the stic bag which had been thrown to the ground just now,


    then took out arge metal box from it.


    After that, he opened the metal box, revealing the hand-folded paper cranes and stars inside it, which


    were the results of his time and effort. There was also a handmade wool bag that he nned to give to


    Skr for her birthday.


    Jackson looked immensely aggrieved when he said, “I made these for you, Skr. Everything I want to


    say to you is written in them.”


    Skr lowered her gaze to the contents of the box. He must’ve poured a lot of heart into folding these.


    There’re so many of them.


    At that thought, her heart softened. Jackson was right. He’s not the one at fault. After all, he was dragged


    into this from the start.


    Tobias stuffed his right hand into his pocket, his handsome face frosting over as the corners of his mouth


    tightened. Then, he spoke in a voice that matched the unfeeling look on his face, “Wasting your time on


    meaningless things. Serves you right for ending up this way.”


    Jackson cried as he aired his grievances, choking on his own tears and sobbing harder when Skr


    looked at him.


    Skr took out a pack of tissues from her bag, but as soon as she extended it toward Jackson, Tobias’


    ominous voice scared her into withdrawing her hand. “Don’t you dare. Put your hand down.”


    Biting her lip, she nced at him before persuading him nicely, “Just let him go. He’s really pitiful, and it’s


    all my fault that I didn’t make it clear enough thest time.”


    Ignoring her words, Tobias approached Jackson, towering over him in height as he emanated an


    intimidating aura.


    Immediately, Jackson hugged the box to his chest tightly.


    Tobias took a lighter out of his trouser pocket and flicked it, the sound exceptionally crisp in the quiet


    night.


    Looking at the flickering me, a sneer formed on Tobias’ lips right before he threw his zippo lighter into


    the box.


    In an instant, Jackson’s efforts were engulfed in mes. He threw the box to the ground in fright, his hand


    almost being scorched by the fire just now.


    Skr took a few steps backward in shock as she stared at the mes licking the sides of the metal box.


    Tobias grinned mockingly. “Didn’t you say that you have strong feelings for her? If you pick up the box


    again, I’ll give her to you.”


    Jackson cowered in response. “You already lit the box on fire. How am I supposed to pick it up? Aren’t


    you deliberating making things difficult for me?”


    “You can’t even endure a little pain? Do you think a few words are enough to prove your feelings?”


    Tobias patted Skr’s bum affectionately and said, “Go back first. Tell me once you’re upstairs.”


    But Skr could not help but worry. She peered at Tobias anxiously, afraid that he would do something


    reckless.


    Sensing her hesitation, Tobias reassured her, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to him.”


    At that, Skr breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go upstairs. She did not look back once, trusting


    Tobias to keep his word. Besides, she did not have a choice anyway because she knew that it was


    useless no matter what she said to Jackson. It was as though her words could not get through to him, or


    perhaps he was merely ying dumb.


    Jackson stared after Skr’s retreating form with a crestfallen look on his face. Watching his efforts


    literally go up in mes, he roared angrily, “All you have is money. Do you think money can buy you love?


    It’s obvious that your feelings for Skr aren’t genuine because there’s no love in your eyes when you


    look at her.”
