Chapter 178
Kai chuckled softly. “You really wanna know that badly? If I didn’t promise to tell you, you would never
havee.”
Skr did not respond. All she wanted was toy down and go to sleep. Her dark circles could hardly be
covered with concealer anymore.
“Tobias was abandoned by his father when he was young. His father took his mistress abroad and left a
huge debt behind. Because of that, Aunt udia became a single mother with two sons and a huge
debt. Thankfully, she is a very strong woman but they still lived a hard life back then. Tobias is known to
be a filial son and has never truly disobeyed my aunt, so stop being an idiot, Skr. As long as my aunt
doesn’t ept you, you can never have a future with Tobias. Plus, he’s not a one-woman kind of man.
I’m telling you all of this because I see you as my friend. You should seriously think this through. And one
more thing, he used to have many women.”
Feeling restless, Skr pushed the pasta around her te. Truth be told, she already knew about most
of what Kai told her, but she never knew that Tobias was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and
had a past like that.
She lowered her gaze. “I can’t leave him now. I understand everything you’re saying, but I just can’t let
go.”
Disappointment tore through Kai before helplessness filled him. “Well, when you need a shoulder to cry
on in the future, you cane to me.”
Skr was stunned for a moment but did not say anything. If need be, she would cry on her own. She
would never show her vulnerable side to others.
After they were done eating, Skr went to pay the bill. When she took out her phone to pay via the app,
she saw an unread WhatsApp message.
Tobias: I’ve arrived.
They were only two simple words, but a surge of warmth filled her chest at the sight of them.
She took sce in the fact that Tobias was at least trying to change. He was no longer like before when
he disappeared without a trace for a month.
He had probably grown used to her existence just like she did his.
The next day, Skr was with the crew all day. Even though she did not have any scenes, she hade
over to watch. Currently, she was sitting on a stool by the side, observing quietly.
Kai really liked Skr’s quiet and unassuming personality.
He tried offering Skr to cool off in his motorhome several times, to which she politely declined.
“It’s my aunt’s birthday today. They should be eating together now. Just imagine this; Tobias together
with his pregnant fiancée.” Without getting his makeup removed, Kai dragged a stool and sat opposite of
her the moment he was free.
Skr tucked some stray strands of hair behind her ear. “No thank you. And please don’t try to set me
off.”
Kai fished out his phone and browsed through social media, finallying across the perfect content to
show Skr but was afraid she would not be able to take it.
“Sheldon just posted a photo on his social media. Do you wanna see it?” He waved his phone in front of
Skr.
Skr took the bait, grabbing the phone from Kai’s hand, and scrolled through the content.
In the photo, udia was wearing a red dress and looking youthful for her age. It was apparent that she
was an absolute beauty during her younger days.
The photo that Sheldon had posted was a group photo. In it, Tanya was standing beside Tobias, but the
latter was not looking at the camera, seemingly uninterested.
Tanya’s baby bump was quite obvious and she was smiling broadly in the photo.

Feeling her heart turn cold, Skr returned Kai his phone.
Kai raised his brows. “Let’s go out for drinks tonight. You’ll feel better with alcohol in your system.”
Skr immediately declined, “No thanks. I don’t drink and I’m not sad either.”
Kai peered at her with a doubtful expression. “You’re really stubborn, you know that?”
That being said, Kai couldn’t help but admit that Skr was in fact a very good-tempered person as she
turned out to be calmer than he had expected.
When Tobias received a call from Skr in the middle of his meal, he stood to leave.
