Chapter 143


    Tobias wasn’t as lucky as her when it came to falling asleep. He pulled down the nket covering


    Skr’s head and gently stroked her delicate cheek. She resembled a sleeping kitten as she murmured


    in her sleep, “Why did all of you leave me? What have I done wrong?”


    She was dreaming that everyone had abandoned her.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Gazing at the moonlight beyond the windows, Tobias remained wide awake. Hey on his side and


    supported his head as he quietly watched Skr. It was a peaceful feeling and how he wished he could


    freeze this moment.


    The next day, Skr opened her eyes and felt the space beside her only to find it empty, without a trace


    of warmth left. Tobias is gone again.


    She tottered out of the bathroom. Every time Tobias had his way with her, she wouldn’t be able to


    normally walk the next day.


    The sun was shining brightly this morning with its rays spilling in through the windows, enveloping the


    entire house in a warm glow.


    When Tobias noticed Skr still wearing a bathrobe, he quirked a brow at her. “Are you seducing me this


    early in the morning? Was my performance yesterday not to your satisfaction?”


    Skr hastily tightened the belt of her bathrobe and changed the subject. “Why are you up so early?”


    In answer to her question, Tobias served the breakfast he had prepared; fried eggs and sandwiches.


    Skr noticed that the fried eggs were out of shape and slightly burnt.


    She picked up a fork and took a bite out of the fried egg. A bitter taste instantly filled her mouth.


    “Is it good?”


    Skr nodded. “Pretty good.”


    Tobias sighed softly. “I don’t really know how to cook. It’s probably quite bad, right?”


    Skr put down her fork, slightly annoyed. Why did he even ask me when he knows that it tastes


    horrible?


    He poured a ss of milk for Skr, but she pushed it away. “I don’t drink milk.”


    Tobias gave her a sidelong nce. “Drink it. You’re no different from an underdeveloped child. Don’t you


    think you should focus on supplementing yourself? Do you wanna die from malnutrition?”


    He was obviously concerned about her, but he phrased it in such an awkward way.


    With a reluctant expression, Skr picked up the ss and chugged the whole thing.


    After that, she propped her cheeks on both hands. “Can I ask you a question, Tobias?”


    In the midst of clearing the table, Tobias halted his movements and looked at her.


    “What’s going on with you and your fiancée? Am I the third party now? I heard that she’s still living in


    your house. Everything is soplicated. What should I do?”


    Tobias replied in a clipped tone, “I already told you that I wouldn’t marry her, but I need time to convince


    my mom. Are you asking me this because you can’t wait to marry me?”


    Although Tobias’ answer was ambiguous, Skr had a strong hunch that he wouldpromise with his


    family and marry Tanya in the end.


    After all, he and Tanya were a match made in heaven to everyone else.


    With her chin resting on her hand, she smiled faintly. “I’m taking the train to N Province tomorrow. Filming


    will take at least three months. Are you going to stay here the whole time?”


    Tobias did not answer. What’s the point of staying here when she’s not around?


    After breakfast, he sent Skr back to university to pack up for her trip tomorrow.


    After Tobias checked his schedule using his phone, he ordered, “Come down earlier tomorrow. I’lle


    to pick you up. By the way, why aren’t you traveling by ne?”


    Skr replied wryly, “No one booked the tickets for me. Besides, taking the train is cheaper. You know,


    I’m starting to think the director has forgotten about me.”


    Skr’s thrifty personality made Tobias feel slightly exasperated. He clearly gave her a ck card, but it


    seemed like she was treating it more like a debit card.


    He didn’t want Skr to be so courteous with him.
