Chapter 291


    Sheldon found her words hrious. Indeed, Skr was too young for his brother. She was just a little girl


    and had nothing inmon with Tobias.


    There was nothing else they could talk about other than having sex. Sheldon had never seen them


    chatting with each other. He was always the one who kept jibber-jabbering all the time.


    Right then, Tobias’ phone rang. Leaving his meal unfinished, he picked up the car keys and instructed


    the maid to hand him the coat.


    udia immediately stopped him. “What happened? Can’t you leave after the meal?”


    Tobias hesitated for a few seconds before he replied, “Something came up. I have to head to the


    company. You enjoy your meal. I’ll see you next week.”

    udia called out to Tobias, but he left in a hurry without looking back.


    Sheldon couldn’t help but whine, “Mom, why must you make him stay? I can apany you. You’re


    biased towards Tobias, Mom. You’re always worried about his marriage and you’ve never once cared


    about me. I’m not that young anymore. Don’t you think I should settle down and get married?”


    udia held her head with one hand and pinched her brows. “I had high hopes for Tobias. I expect him


    to get married and have a child soon. But I guess it’s not going to happen. Do as you please, Sheldon.


    Pick a few women from our family friends and choose the one whom you like.”


    Upon hearing that, the smirk on his face faded. Sheldon cleared his throat and asked with a serious look,


    “Can’t I go for the woman I like? Why must I pick one from our family friends? Those heiresses are spoilt


    and pretentious. We’re living in modern times now. Who still cares about social status?”


    udia raised her volume. “Stop dreaming! I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t behave like your


    brother and never get yourself a promiscuous woman. I loathe those gold-diggers who are calcting


    and materialistic. Just like Skr Jones, she’s a shameless woman and has ruined our family.


    Sheldon was lost in his thoughts. Judging from udia’s attitude towards Skr, his mother would never


    ept Winnie. udia spoke of Skr as if thetter was an unforgivable sinner.


    By the time Tobias arrived at the hospital, Skr had undergone surgery. She was still under observation


    in the operation theater.


    Tobias looked anxious when he arrived. Hannah didn’t expect to see him there. If she knew Tobias would


    come over, she would’ve contacted him in the first ce.


    Hannah gazed at Tobias. He was holding his ck coat and talking to Kate outside the operation theater.


    The red light above the door was off, yet Skr was still inside. Tobias started getting worried until Kate


    told him that the doctor was observing Skr’s condition.


    After Tobias found out Skr was fine, he turned around and was about to leave. Kate looked at him in


    disbelief. She was provoked by his reaction. She suppressed her anger towards him and kept the


    emotion to herself.


    Kate was worried sick about Skr, yet Tobias just took a nce at the door and left without looking


    back. He’s such a cold-hearted man.


    Kate tactfully asked, “Mr. Ford, are you leaving now? Skr may look for you after she regains her


    consciousness.”


    With one hand in his pocket, Tobias nced at her with a condescending sneer. “I’m heading to the


    counter to pay the expenses. If I don’t do it, who will handle it for her?”


    Kate realized that she had misunderstood him.


    Tobias went to the ward after he settled the payment. When he saw Skr, she had regained her


    consciousness.
