Chapter 261
Miranda was still a little reluctant to part with them when Skr and Tobias dropped her off at her house,
saying, “Today’s meeting was just too rushed. I’ll treat you to a meal one day whenever you’re free,
Tobias.”
Not wanting Miranda and Tobias to interact too much, Skr cut into the conversation. “He’s really busy,
so maybe next time.”
“I’m free anytime, Ms. Watts. Just ask Skr to pass on the message to me,” Tobias immediately
followed up with a smile.
Only then was Miranda satisfied. Tobias was a very powerful man and her savior. If he hadn’t been
dating Skr, she might have had to stay in jail forever. Even after so many years, I still have to rely on
Skr.
She’d always thought that it was useless to raise a daughter, but things were different now. Miranda
didn’t regret having given birth to Skr anymore, but she did regret taking out all her frustration from the
divorce out on Skr as a child.
“Thank you.” Skr rested her head against the car window, tired and in a bad mood.
“It’s not a big deal. You’re going to make it up to me anyway.” Tobias turned up the heating system in the
car, something he usually never did because the warm air conditioning made him feel stuffy and
ufortable.
“I’m way too tired, and besides, we already did “it” yesterday. Can’t I repay you in some other way?”
pleaded Skr.
“Well, what do you have to offer me?”
Skr grew quiet. How else can I make it up to Tobias? The twenty million cash deposit? It didn’t seem
like he’d want that.
Besides, her bank ount didn’t have that twenty million anymore. She’d transferred fifteen million to
Miranda because Miranda didn’t have any other source of ie after getting out of jail, and had never
purchased any kind of insurance.
Everything and anything required money nowadays, and she couldn’t just leave her mother to her own
devices. Plus, she had confiscated from her the card that Tobias had given Skr.
What if she’s unable to control herself and overspends on unnecessary things?
She was worrying herself to death trying to ensure that Miranda could live a normal life.
Shaking her head in resignation, Skr sighed. “I guess all I can do right now is selling my body. But,
filming for my new movie is starting soon. If I be famous, I’ll bury you in all the money I’m bound to
earn.”
That was an absolute lie. There was probably no one on earth who could bury Tobias in more money
than he already owned.
Noticing that Skr looked fatigued, Tobias decided not to press the topic any further. “I know, I know.
When you earn enough money to bury me alive, then it’ll be my turn to kick back and rx. I want to
experience what it’s like to be pampered and spoiled too.”
The sun had already risen when they arrived home.
Skr felt even guiltier for having dragged Tobias into her mess. If it weren’t for her, he would be asleep
on his bed about now.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
Yawning, sheid down on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. With her chin resting on top of the pillow
and a small pout on her lips, she resembled a lostmb.
The more Tobias stared at Skr’s new hairstyle, the unhappier he became. The cuteness that he
adored from before was reced by a sassy fierceness, and he didn’t like it. Her original ck hair was
more than good enough. Why did they have to ruin it?
“If you’re tired, go upstairs to sleep,” he told her.
Skr yawned again, rubbing her neck. “What about you? Are you going to sleep too?”
Taking a look at his wristwatch, Tobias said, “I need to make another trip to the office.”
That woke Skr up. Tobias going back to the office at five in the morning sounded suspiciously simr
to the excuse other husbands would give their wives, saying that they had to stay back at the office for
work even though it was the middle of the night. The sleepiness in her mind cleared and was
immediately reced by intrusive thoughts of whether there was actually someone else somewhere else
waiting on Tobias.
