Chapter 186


    Skr asked, “My uncle was fired from the factory and can’t find a job now. Is this your doing?”


    Tobias was silent for a while before changing the subject. “It’s rare for me to leave thepany so early.


    You must be hungry. Come, I’ll take you to dinner! What do you feel like eating? Or do you wanna buy


    something back to cook?”


    Skr did not prod further. What can I do even after getting the answer? use Tobias of being too


    ruthless in his punishment?


    “Let’s eat at home. I’ll cook for you. What do you feel like eating…” Skr looked at the time and found


    that it was almost six.


    “I’m fine with anything you cook.” Tobias did not make any requests. He was never a picky eater, anyway,


    his priority had always been to fill his belly.


    He brought Skr to the supermarket to buy the ingredients she needed for cooking.


    In the past, Skr had always envied couples shopping in the supermarket. The man would push the


    cart while the woman would carefully select the ingredients. Then, they would go home together and


    cook.


    In her mind, shopping for groceries with the person she loved was such a happy feeling.


    However, Skr was not lucky enough to feel this happiness because Tobias kept answering his phone


    while pushing the cart with one hand.


    Tobias was speaking in fluent French. Even though Skr could not understand thenguage, she could


    tell that Tobias was not in a good mood from his furrowed brows.


    Skr chose what she needed and gestured to Tobias, asking if he was done.


    Tobias hung up the call and said apologetically, “Sorry for the long call. Have you gotten everything you


    need?”


    Skr nodded, motioning at the shopping cart that was piled high with varying items.


    Tobias bent to rummage through the cart. “You didn’t get the most important thing! I don’t wanna have to


    go out to buy condoms when we’re already in the thick of things.”


    Skr’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, they had used up thest box yesterday night.


    Tobias really had a ravenous appetite for sex. Under normal circumstances, she would never get the


    chance to have a peaceful sleep at night.


    There were boxes of condoms on the shelves by the checkout counter. Without a second thought, Tobias


    took a few boxes that were zero one sizes.


    Skr lowered her voice and asked, “Is this one veryfortable?”


    “I don’t like wearing condoms, but you’ll worry if I don’t. To be honest, they’re not veryfortable,”


    Tobias replied.


    Even so, Skr was unwilling topromise on this. She still had her own bottom line.


    She wasn’t sure whether Tobias would take responsibility for the child if she were to get pregnant


    someday.


    In a way, he was like sand to her because she would never have the confidence to hold onto him.


    “It seems like my son hasn’t been very busytely, seeing as he left thepany so early to shop for


    groceries with a woman.” udia studied them coldly.


    udia had already seen Tobias grabbing the condoms earlier.


    Tanya was also present and had her arm linked with udia’s. They even had some bodyguards in


    casual clothes behind them, depicting a very grand sight.

    Skr immediately released Tobias’ hand just as the air around them went still.


    Skr greeted softly, “Mrs. Ford…”


    “Don’t you dare talk to me,” udiashed out.


    She took out a box of condoms from the cart and said in a voice trembling with anger, “Tanya is pregnant


    with your child, but you’re still fooling around with another woman every night. You even have the mood


    to go grocery shopping with her. Tobias Ford, how long are you going to keep bullying Tanya? How did I


    ever give birth to a son like you? In the past, I’ve always turned a blind eye to the things you did, but this


    is too much.”


    Tobias frowned deeply as his mother seethed with anger while Tanya had put on an aggrieved look on


    her face with tears pooling in her eyes.


    He found it embarrassing that his mother had aired their dirtyundry in public.


    A crowd had formed around them. Since they only heard one side of the story, all of them assumed that


    he had done something despicable.


    Indeed, he had done his fair share of shady things, but he was not despicable to this extent.
