Chapter 414


    Winnie was on pins and needles. She thought everything was perfectly nned and under control. But


    little did she know, Skr was such an expert when it came to food. She had such a discerning pte.


    How could she even know that? Her sense of smell is as good as a dog’s.


    After dinner, Tobias let the housekeeper cut the cake into few pieces. Skr put the te in front of


    udia.


    She didn’t insist on forcing udia to eat the cake. Anyway, she had shown her sincerity.


    udia pointed at the sofa opposite her. “Have a seat.” She acted like a queen who was issuing an


    order.


    Skr did as she was told respectfully. She sat upright, resting her feet firmly on the ground and both


    feet close to each other. She didn’t seem overcautious.


    She put every theory she learned from her lessons into practice.


    Tobias was about to sit down as he was afraid that udia would make things difficult for Skr. Before


    he could sit down, Skr purposely gave him a nudge and smiled. “Mrs. Ford and I are having some


    women talk. What are you doing here?”


    She could see from udia’s eyes that she didn’t want Tobias to be there.


    Skr simply sent Tobias away with some random excuses.


    Before he walked away, he caressed her hair gently. His eyes were full of affection. udia had only


    seen that kind of gaze when Tobias was looking at Idania.


    Speaking of Idania, udia heard that she was back recently. She was an executive president of a


    foreignpany. Back then, udia didn’t like Idania very much.


    She disliked Idania for another reason. She had different feelings towards Skr. Women knew women


    better.


    Idania was a scheming one. She looked soft and weak on the outside, but her gaze was ruthless and


    tough. udia could never forget that look.


    At that time, the Fords weren’t as good as they were today. Ford Group was not that sessful either


    back then. Idania once revealed to udia from their conversation that she wanted to take over Ford


    Group after their marriage.


    udia sized Skr up from head to toe. She admitted that Skr was naturally beautiful. How could a


    man even resist a pretty woman like her? “Do you know the reason why I don’t like you?”


    She nodded her head. “I know, Mrs. Ford. I understand that you don’t actually care much about my


    family background. You thought it was me who ruined Tobias’ marriage. In fact, I have my own reasons


    and it wasn’t that easy for me to tell. I’m not as bad as you think. My parents got divorced because of the


    other woman. Since then, my father left my mother and I behind. I never have the chance to experience


    the feeling of being loved by a mother or a father. Therefore, I won’t do something that is against my


    conscience.”


    Skr could only defend herself by telling her history. She could not be possibly telling udia that it


    was Tobias who pushed her to the corner. She had no other choice but topromise.


    udia knew that much about her background. She pinched the bridge of her nose and replied weakly,


    “You’ve already reminded me about being together with my son for quite a long time. If I were to forcibly


    break you guys apart, it would only make me an immature and inconsiderate parent. However, even if I


    don’t object to your rtionship, that doesn’t mean I can ept that willingly.”


    Skr was relieved to hear that. It was such a load off her mind. Nothing was worse than udia being


    furious and iming to cut off all ties with Tobias.

    She smiled at her. “Mrs. Ford, I don’t know how to make a promise either. I really like Tobias a lot. I’m


    willing to give my everything for him. But who knows what the future holds? Anyway, I’m just a person


    who stays by his side and keeps himpany. He is a lonely soul. He doesn’t let others into his heart.


    To be honest, he is not going to marry me too. All I could do is to be by his side silently and make every


    day counts. If he gets tired of me someday, I will leave no matter how painful it is. Hence, Mrs. Ford, you


    don’t have to worry about the Ford family being aughingstock should I marry into the family. There isn’t


    always a happy ending even we love someone with all our heart and soul.”


    udia’s gaze gradually darkened. She closed her eyes and smiled bitterly after hearing Skr’sst


    sentence. “It’s always the woman who suffers in a rtionship. You’re going to regret it someday for


    betting on your youth.”
