Chapter 504
Skr showed him the member card she had acquired a few minutes ago and said, “Thanks, but I can at
least afford a meal. Allow me to turn down the offer since you have finished your meal.”
Out of the blue, Tobias asserted in a serious manner, “Are you sure you haven’t misperceived my words?
She had paid me a visit for a formal discussion regarding a proposal. In other words, she was here to
pitch her idea instead of the things you had in mind.”
“Mr. Ford, would you meet others in person? Haven’t you always sent your subordinates to deal with
prospects? Are you telling me you have always been such an enthusiastic and easygoing man?” Skr
replied with her lips twitching.
Tobias was irked by the things Skr mentioned and thought something had gotten into her mind.

Indeed, I have agreed to meet her in person because she’s my ex, but the things Skr has in mind
have never crossed mine!
Once Skr ced her order, Tobias took a seat opposite her to keep herpany.
She said, “If you’re serious about our rtionship, aren’t you supposed to act like my better half? I know
you dislike being nagged the most, but you need to stop picking on me.”
The man opposite her nodded in return.
A few minutester, he said, “You should be grateful I have stopped picking on you.”
She ced her cutlery aside and stopped savoring her meal because she wasn’t in the mood to eat
anymore.
“Why? To begin with, we’re never equal. I have no choice but to listen to you because you’re always the
dominant one in our rtionship. Unsure if you’re going to dump me in the near future, the thought of
breaking up and getting into a rtionship with an ordinary man crosses my mind. At least an ordinary
man will apologize instead of behaving like I’m the one at fault.”
Tobias identally shattered the cup he held into pieces when he heard Skr’s reply. Consequently,
his palm started bleeding.
She rushed over and grasped his wrist, trying her best to stop him from bleeding with a napkin.
“Have you lost your mind? Aren’t you aware of the consequences of your action when you’re an adult?
How could you hurt yourself?”
It was a serious cut, but Tobias didn’t even flinch. He said, “I guess you’re serious about the part you’re
no longer the same. You can always tell me when you’re ready to leave because I won’t try to stop you
as well.”
Skr pinched his wound with all her might when she heard him.
She regretted worrying about him because his reply had rendered herpletely speechless.
When she was about to tell him she had no intention to leave just yet, he got ahead of her and asked
with a frown, “Can you move away from me? Are you trying to get your revenge by hurting me?”
He was irked because she wouldn’t stop pinching his wound.
After that, she suggested rushing him to the hospital andpletely forgot the initial reason she was
there.
However, he rinsed his wound and said, “You need to stop making a fuss out of everything because it’s
not a big deal.”
His response piqued her curiosity and made her wondered if his tolerance level had something to do with
his upbringing. When Jeremy identally cut himself back in the day, he would shriek in pain as though
it was a serious injury.
However, Tobias didn’t even flinch when it was a deep cut.
At the end of the session, Skr returned him the member card since he was the rightful owner. On top
of that, she was never a fan of that particr type of cuisine. She had no intention to hang out around
the area of Tobias’pany either.
Once she returned home, Skr retrieved the first-aid kit and started searching for the gauze to bandage
the wound.
Standing behind her, Tobias said, “I think it’ll bepletely healed by the time you find it. How many
times have I told you to keep the items in the first-aid kit organized?”
She startedining, “Stop exaggerating things! I’ll go get one immediately! We need to keep it
bandaged to stop it from being infected!”
Suddenly, he held her wrist and said, “Just keep mepany for a short while.”
