Chapter 187


    Thest time udia was hospitalized, she was warded into the ICU as her condition was extremely


    serious. Luckily, they managed to get a foreign specialist to treat her.


    The doctor had constantly reminded them that she could not undergo any stress. And that became


    Tobias’ weakness which Tanya seized upon.


    “Ms. Jones, I’m sure you can see how I’m unable to pleasure Tobias in my current condition. Hence,


    you’re just my recement for the time being. But, you will soon end up just like me,” Tanya sobbed.


    She had inadvertently be the “wife” that everyone sympathized with. Her “husband” cheated on her


    while she was pregnant despite the fact that Tobias and her were not actually married.


    “Enough, do you have no shame?” Tobias pulled Skr closer to him and he could feel that her body


    was slightly trembling.


    Many onlookers had surrounded them and watched themotion.


    Skr felt the full brunt of their condescending gazes and mockery. Anyone who had a sense of justice


    would naturally sympathize with the pregnant Tanya.

    Tobias vented his frustrations on the bodyguards who were also watching from behind. “Send my mom


    and Ms. Hanson home.”


    Tobias wanted to take Skr away as she didn’t deserve to go through this.


    He was stumped by such humiliation. In the business world, he was ruthless and decisive in whatever he


    did. In fact, he would do whatever it takes to achieve his gains.


    However, resolving this problem was just like walking through a minefield. He had to be careful not to


    ignite any one of them for fear that his mother’s condition would deteriorate.


    He neither had the luxury to be gentle nor harsh. Tanya was staying with his mother on the ount that


    she saved her life.


    To the extent that he suspected someone had actually caused his mother to fall unconscious on the


    streets.


    Therefore, he was already investigating the matter.


    Not daring to disobey Tobias, the bodyguard suggested to udia, “Ma’am, let’s go home.”


    udia gave the bodyguard a side-eye and proposed, “It’s gettingte. I’m sure Ms. Jones hasn’t had


    dinner yet. Since we’re all here, I want to have a meal with my son. Ms. Jones, why don’t you join us?”


    Skr looked at Tobias as the decision was his to make. She was aware it wasn’t really a dinner


    invitation, but a trap instead. She would be made to suffer.


    However, despite how terrible it felt, she knew she had to face it sooner orter. There was no way to


    avoid it.


    Skr epted udia’s invitation as she wasn’t willing to put Tobias in a difficult position. Although he


    didn’t seem to be troubled at all.


    They arrived at a French restaurant with beautiful surroundings and exquisite decor. udia was a


    regr here. Every time she visited, she would dine in a private room reserved only for her because she


    did not like to be disturbed. When she wasn’t around, the room would not be used for other guests.


    Faced with Tanya’s jealous gaze, Tobias sat beside Skr. She wasn’t in control of today’s situation at


    all.


    Just a month ago, Tanya had assumed Skr was just one of the many flings Tobias had. She didn’t


    expect them to still be together and that they had spent so much time with each other.


    After udia ordered her usual from the waiter, she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. “Tobias’


    tastes are simr to mine. He prefers his food to be lightly seasoned. Ms. Jones, do you like French


    food?”


    Skr nodded. “I’m alright with it.”


    When Skr saw how well udia maintained herposure, it felt like the calm before the storm to


    her.


    “Just alright? It seems you have no taste in food, just like your taste in men. Despite knowing Tobias has


    a family, you still insist on interfering.”


    It was just as Skr had expected. She replied, “There’s no way I can exin myself. But I know I have


    not hurt anyone.”
