Chapter 137
“I didn’t say we couldn’t get back together, did I? Are you here to see me off?” Skr countered in a t
tone.
Anxious, Thomas nced at Tobias, who was sitting in the car. Although he muttered a yes to Skr’s
question, his feet had already taken him to Tobias’ car.
Tobias raised his eyes to give Thomas a cursory nce. He couldn’t be bothered with customary
pleasantries and maintained his indifferent expression without uttering a word.
“Mr. Ford, I’m sure you haven’t had anything to eat yet. Would you like toe in for a meal?” Thomas
stered a ttering smile on his face.
Skr never thought that someone as cold-hearted and unfeeling as Thomas was capable of having that
expression.
“No need,” Tobias responded tersely.

Skr skirted past Thomas and hopped into the front passenger seat, urging Tobias, “Let’s go. I couldn’t
stomach anything here, so I’m hungry now.”
Tobias’ eyes flicked toward Skr, clearly sensing the sour mood she was in, and surmised that the
Joneses must have mistreated her. I clearly told her not toe, but she didn’t listen to me. This woman
really has a knack for tormenting herself.
It wasn’t easy for Thomas to get an audience with Tobias. The other time when his precious daughter
was bullied by Tobias, he had waited at the hotel lobby for a whole night before getting the chance to see
Tobias. Now, he greatly regretted his actions and cursed at himself for letting his anger get the best of
him.
Otherwise, he could have made a better impression on Tobias.
Thomas grabbed the door, preventing Tobias from closing it. “Mr. Ford, can you spare me ten minutes? I
need your help with something.”
Tobias nced at Skr, letting her make the decision.
Pursing her lips, she dered, “Let’s go. I don’t want to be here a second longer.”
Thomas was boiling with frustration, cursing at Skr silently for being ungrateful and not knowing her
ce. How dare she act all snobbish with me right now? Has she forgotten how pathetic she was when
she came here asking me for money to pay her school fees?
Before Skr attended high school, she needed thirty thousand for her school fees. Her grandmother
couldn’t afford it, so she told Skr toe over and ask him for money.
Thirty thousand was nothing to him, but he still hadn’t wanted to give it to her. Since he had already
divorced Miranda, he considered the child as hers and wanted to cut ties with her for good.
Furthermore, Skr’s birth was an ident. Miranda was the one who begged him to keep the baby.
Nevertheless, Thomas rposed himself and started to y the pity card, wearing a dejected look on
his face. “Juste in and sit for a while. Please be understanding.”
Skr thought she was hallucinating when she heard the plea in his tone.
Tobias pondered over it for a while. If he didn’t give Thomas a chance now, Thomas would definitely
continue pestering Skr, so he figured that he might as well make things clear between them once and
for all.
With that, Tobias killed the engine and stubbed out his barely smoked cigarette before getting out of his
car.
However, Skr remained seated in the front and grabbed Tobias’ arm. In a gentle voice, he coaxed
away the gloom on Skr’s face. “Be a good girl. Come down with me, hmm?”
This scene was deeply embedded into Thomas’ mind. The ruthless and strong-willed CEO, Tobias Ford,
was actually so protective of Skr and treated her so gently.
Thereafter, Skr followed Tobias out of the car without protest as though she was possessed.
Just then, Tobias’ phone rang. Skr was ustomed to Tobias’ busy schedule and had grown used to
his long conversations over the phone. She also knew that he would sometimes speak in a foreign
language.
Skr went into the house first. When the servant saw here back, she picked out the shoe covers
from the trash bin and handed them to her.
Tobias, who came in after Skr, saw the whole scene. While his chiseled face remained
expressionless, there was an ominous gleam in his eyes.
“Is this how your family treats guests?” His frosty voice could probably form icicles.
