Chapter 188


    She didn’t dare say too much as she knew udia wasn’t in good health. Being confrontational with


    udia would end badly for her. If anything happened to udia, it would be the end of her rtionship


    with Tobias.


    She could understand why Tobias feared his mother so much. It wasn’t because he obeyed her for no


    reason. Instead, it was on the ount all the years she had suffered as an indebted single mother who


    was still responsible for two boys. Those years were unimaginably tough.


    Tanya eximed angrily, “You should stop pretending to be innocent. You are literally his mistress. How


    can you still im that you didn’t hurt anyone? Unless you don’t even see me as a person.”


    When she heard Tanya’s voice trembling in anger, udia quickly consoled her as she was pregnant.


    Tobias looked at them pensively and asked, “Mom, what do you want? Will you only be happy if I married


    Tanya? So what if I married her? Do you want her to live like a widow? Even if you don’t think it’s a


    problem, I am already tired of this.”


    Tobias had made it clear how frustrated he was.


    “I’m willing to do anything for you including that.” Tanya’s expression was resolute while her eyes looked


    as if she would do anything for him.


    The more Tanya acted that way, the more udia sympathized with her. As a woman, she pitied Tanya


    for her predicament and hated Tobias’ irresponsible actions.


    “Go die then,” Tobias snapped with an icy gaze. Tanya was the most annoying woman he had ever met


    in his life.


    All this while, he had never allowed anyone to cling on to him like that. It was just that Tanya had the


    protection of his mother.


    Tobias’ expression grew so dark that it frightened Skr.


    Tanya burst into tears from the humiliation. Her pitiful look would earn sympathy from just anyone.

    udia gritted her teeth as she warned them, “For as long as I’m alive, I will never let this woman into


    the family. Since both of you are present, I hope I have made myself clear. Ms. Jones, you and Tobias


    are never meant to be. What right do you have to be together with him?”


    Skr was devastated by how harsh udia was. She felt the old times were a lot better where love


    was still innocent, unlike now. There were simply too many things to consider, to the extent there wasn’t


    any room for being willfully stubborn.


    She admitted, “I admit I’m not good enough. We may not be together in the end but I will treasure the


    days we are together.”


    Tobias took a deep breath as if he were trying to suppress his emotions.


    Finally, he spoke with an indifferent tone. “Mom, I wouldn’t be in such a difficult position if you would only


    believe me. There’s no point in continuing this meal. Also, you shouldn’t think it’s Skr’s fault. The only


    reason she is with me is that I gave her no choice. She has been forced topromise and ept me.


    Hence, you’re venting your frustrations on the wrong person.”


    He then stood up and prepared to leave with Skr, worried that she couldn’t take it. After all, she was


    only twenty and had limited experience in life. Given how sharp and aggressive his mother was, there


    was no way Skr would escape unscathed.


    Skr stood up and bowed slightly at udia. “Mrs. Ford, I know that you resent me. I can’t ask


    anything of you and I’m well aware of how inadequate I am. I will try to improve. Hopefully, you will


    approve of me the next time we meet.”


    Skr’s words were polite and respectful, regardless of whether udia wanted to hear them.


    “Tobias, you will regret this. She is someone that is willing to abandon her mother. Someone like that


    doesn’t deserve your attention,” Tanya called out to Tobias. Circling around the table, she stuck out the


    gentle bump on her belly on purpose.
