Chapter 378


    Skr took a sip of coffee, for she was desperately in need of some energy right then. She was in a


    terrible mood, was hungry, and even had a headache.


    “What’s she jealous about? She’s in her thirties and has already got everything she wants. There’s


    nothing about me that she’d be jealous of.”


    However, as an experienced person, Kate had already seen through everything. She got straight to the


    point and asked, “What do you think Valeriecks right now?”


    Skr pondered and replied, “A man?”


    Kate then patted her on the thigh in acknowledgment. “She’s jealous of Tobias’ kindness to you. She’s


    been beside him for so many years and definitely has some feelings for him. For a man like Tobias, you’d


    be hooked even if you only saw him once, much less if you’ve been by his side for so long.”


    In reality, Skr had never considered such a thing before and had never thought that Valerie’s single


    status for so many years had anything to do with Tobias.


    Isn’t that stupid? She wasted most of her youth waiting for someone but still ended up lonely?


    That day, after she left thepany, Skr immediately got a taxi home. If it were the past, she would


    have taken the subway instead.


    However, more and more people were starting to recognize her. Thest time she took the subway,


    someone had taken a photo of her and posted it online. In thements, some had said that she was


    putting up a front.


    Moreover, others also said that she had no morals and wanted to disrupt public order.


    Skr was speechless about such keyboard warriors.


    Since when had my poprity gotten to that extent?


    When she eventually arrived outside her house, she noticed that the lights were switched on


    inside. Tobias didn’t say he’d be over tonight.


    She then entered her password and opened the door only to see Tobias reading in the living room. As


    soon as he saw her, he put the book down on the coffee table.


    There were also many yellow-colored containers atop the coffee table.


    “You didn’t text that you’d be over today,” she said as she bent over to take off her stiletto heels.


    She had no idea why such international big-name high heels were so expensive. They rubbed against


    the feet and were ufortable, clearly not caring for the user’sfort at all.


    “I suddenly decided toe and see you.”


    Moving over to the sofa, she then sat down and nced at the book he was reading. It was neither a


    book about sess nor was it a self-help book.


    The title read: War and Peace. As soon as Skr noticed the title, she lost interest, for she did not read


    such literary masterpieces. At the age when she loved to read, she mostly read romance novels.


    Of the books she read, Sense & Sensibility was one that left arger impression on her. Back then, she


    envied Marianne Dashwood a lot because she met John Willoughby. He was attractive and was the man


    of all women’s dreams.


    However, once she grew up, Skr came to realize how distorted her views were back then. As a result,


    sheter came to dislike John and instead supported Colonel Brandon.


    Noticing that she seemed to be absent-minded, Tobias asked, “Why? Am I not wee? If I’m not, I can


    leave.”


    Only upon hearing his question did she snap back to reality. She smiled and replied, “It’s all written on


    my face. You’re very wee here.”


    He then pointed at the several ss containers on the table. “My chef made a few dishes tonight that


    were quite good, so I got them to make another serving for you. Just heat it in the microwave, and you


    can eat it.”


    In reality, such details made her touched, even more so than receiving diamond nes did.


    After all, it showed that he had thought of her. However, he had forgotten what she previously said. She


    did not eat after six o’clock.


    For some reason, Tobias often neglected a lot of her words.


    Yet, to prevent him from thinking that she was putting up a front, she took the containers and headed into


    the kitchen to warm the dishes up.


    From the living room, he said, “There’s some spaghetti in the pot. It’s already cooked. Just heat the other


    dishes.”


    Skr then stuck out from behind the wall and replied, “I just got home and haven’t even had time to


    take a breath. Why can’t you help me warm them up?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
