Chapter 323


    “Was the matchmaking sessful, Mr. Ford?” Skr coldly asked. Smilingnguidly, she leaned back


    into the sofa while desperately suppressing the raging emotions within her.


    Amidst the suffocating silence, Skr assumed Tobias would storm out in anger after being exposed.


    Given his character, she expected no less.


    Her cold and mocking smile had pierced his heart like a dagger.


    Finally, he broke the silence with a calm and deep voice. “Please listen to me. When I came home, the


    woman was already there; my mom invited her over. Do you actually think I need someone to


    matchmake me if I’m really looking for a wife? Did Kai tell you about this?”


    Despite being smart, Skr could also be impulsive at times. At that moment, she realized her


    questioning had carelessly exposed Kai, and it wasn’t appropriate to have done so.


    She tried to cover up her mistake. “No, it has nothing to do with him. Just take it that I’m blindly


    specting. You have so many servants at home. It’s not difficult for me to bribe any one of them.”


    Tobias didn’t bother to expose her ludicrous excuse.


    When he tried to hold Skr’s hand, she pulled it away instead.


    Tobias was stunned when his hand grasped at thin air. Lifting his gaze at her, she looked both alluring


    and defiant at the same time.


    Stung by a sense of bitterness, Tobias didn’t force the issue.


    Standing up from the sofa, Skr remarked with a self-deprecating tone, “Considering that you like


    obedient women, I must have crossed the line today. Tobias, I will not care about the women around you


    going forward. All I ask of you is to break up with me before you get married. As my career is just getting


    started, I don’t want to bebeled as a mistress. I have had enough of being embroiled in such


    controversies.”


    “Don’t worry, I won’t get married.”


    As he stared intently at her with his abyss-like gaze, the wrinkles by the corner of his eye made him look


    authoritative and difficult to read.


    “But I want to. In fact, I’m looking forward to having kids with the person I love.” Skr averted her gaze.

    Tobias didn’t respond to herment. As he raised his hand to stroke her face, he stopped mid-air. “You


    should rest early now. It’s obvious that you’re not in the mood to see me today. I’m leaving.”


    Before Skr could bid him goodbye, Tobias had already gone upstairs to get changed. Looking sharp


    as always in his suit, his face didn’t disy a shred of emotion.


    When Skr returned to the room after he was gone, she was greeted by the messy bed and an erotic


    scent. It reminded her of the vigorous scene that had just urred.


    Flipping the nket aside to get in bed, she suddenly noticed a ck velvet box on the pillow. Furrowing


    her eyebrows, she opened it and saw a blue diamond ne inside. It looked extremely exotic and


    expensive. No girl could resist the temptation of diamonds.


    It was now apparent that Tobias was aware of this. Staring quietly at the ne, Skr figured that


    she would never be able to afford something like that within her lifetime.


    Hence, she decided to keep it in the safe at home. When she unlocked the safe using her birthday as the


    combination code, she realized that it was stuffed with jewelry. Without her knowledge, Tobias had


    presented her with many gifts.


    The generosity he disyed toward her was simply unimaginable. He had the capability of fulfilling any


    materialistic desire she could ever dream of.


    To her, he was like a drug. Despite knowing how dangerous he was, she just couldn’t stay away.
