Chapter 168


    With much patience, Tobias exined, “This is a Five Line Sak Yant, one of Thand’s most sacred


    tattoos. It is believed that having this tattoo will bring luck, protection, fortune, health, and good


    rtionships.”


    Skr tiptoed to touch the mysterious tattoo on his back. For a moment, she felt as if she had


    depreciated him by thinking he would tattoo her name. He is a mature man, after all. He’s not some hot-


    headed guy who would tattoo a woman’s name on his body.


    “You are already filthy rich, but you’re still hoping for more fortune?” she muttered.


    Tobias carried her to the bed and tucked her in. “Instead of fortune, I got the tattoo because I wished it


    would bring me good luck. For the past two years, life was not going my way. It’s hard to exin, but I


    feel like everything is destined. Now, I take all obstacles in life as my redemption to free myself from my


    sins.”


    Skr didn’t ask further questions. Although they were in a rtionship, the two of them lived in two


    completely different worlds. Even until now, she knew little about him and his life.

    Since there was no basin in the room, Tobias headed to the washroom to wet a towel for her to clean


    herself up.


    When he came out of the washroom with the wet towel, he realized she had already fallen asleep. The


    room was silent except for the buzzing sound of the air-conditioner.


    The size of the bed was quite small. Her body had upied more than half of the space even though


    she was only five feet tall.


    Tobias didn’t have the heart to shift her body for fear that he would wake her up, so he resorted to sitting


    on the armchair throughout the night.


    The next morning, Skr was awakened by the loud and continuous knocks on the door. “Skr, open


    the door! I need to use the washroom!”


    In an instant, she was fully awake when she recalled that Kai woulde to her room every morning to


    use the washroom.


    Tobias found the voice of the person speaking outside the room familiar. He turned to look at Skr, who


    had already put on her clothes though her hair was still messy.


    She was now in a state of agitation, and there was no time for her to tidy her hair. Since she was here to


    work, she was reluctant to let anyone know that there was a man in her room to avoid creating a bad


    impression. Apart from that, she felt that it was better to keep their rtionship on the down-low because


    of Tobias’s unique identity.


    That being said, there was no ce for him to hide in the room.


    Her heart thumped wildly in her chest when Tobias walked toward the door, reaching his hand for the


    doorknob. It was inevitable that the two men would meet each other face to face.


    As expected, Kai was stunned when he saw Tobias was the one opening the door.


    He was so shocked, in fact, that for a brief moment, he actually thought he was still dreaming.


    Casting his eyes over Tobias’s shoulder, Kai caught sight of the messy bed. From Tobias’s presence


    early in the morning and the strong fishy odor lingering in the room, as a man who had sexual


    experience, he could easily tell that they had had sex the other night.


    Skr felt awkward, especially when she recalled Tobias throwing the crumpled tissues and used


    condoms in the dustbin somewhere near where Kai was standing, beside the door.


    Meanwhile, Tobias wasposed all the while. As for Kai, he acted as if the world had crumbled upon


    him. “Skr, why are you two together? So, Tobias is your boyfriend?”


    Tobias cast a nce at Kai and then at Skr. “Why can’t we be together? Is there a problem with us


    being a couple?”


    It was not a heartwarming reunion of the cousins as Skr expected. Instead, there was tension in the


    air.


    Kai questioned her harshly, “Why didn’t you tell me? You know that I…” he trailed off.


    The atmosphere in the room became tenser.


    Truth be told, Skr didn’t tell him of her rtionship with Tobias because things were better left unsaid.


    She was afraid he would misunderstand her as someone who wanted to ruin Tobias’s engagement with


    Tanya.


    “Well, now you know,” Tobias said nonchntly and patted Kai on the shoulder. Then, he asked, “Have


    you eaten? Wanna have breakfast together?”


    Kai had lost all his appetite. The disappointment was barely veiled in his eyes when he looked at Skr.


    He thought she was just an ordinary girl with no background. He even felt sorry for her, thinking that she


    joined the crew alone. Now it turned out he was a fool all along.


    Skr stood rooted to the spot like a child who had done something wrong. Even though she knew Kai


    had misunderstood her, she couldn’t exin herself right now.
