Chapter 571


    Tobias cleared his throat while trying to ease the situation for her. “Don’t take everything on the inte


    too seriously.”


    udia smiled with content as she felt her son had be more consideratepared to before. Years


    ago, he would not blink even if someone were to die in front of him.


    She was aware that the inte was full of lies. With the freedom of speech, anyone could fabricate any


    story they wanted without considering the consequences. Thus, she did not pay much attention to the


    information she saw online.


    If she did note across that news today, she would not have even thought of having dinner with


    Skr. If everything said by her cousin was true, she felt it was necessary to reevaluate Skr’s


    personality.


    In udia’s opinion, she always felt families and rtives should look after each other’s back. It was the


    minimum quality that any human should have.


    Hence, if Skr were the type who forgot about her close ones after she got famous, udia would


    certainly not be able to ept it.


    Skr was stunned when udia asked about Kevin, as she did not expect thetter to be so well


    informed.


    She must think I’m a selfish person who abandon my own family.


    Just then, Tobias’ finger poked Skr’s thigh gently below the table, signaling her not to exin too


    much.


    Before Skr could open her mouth, Tobias got ahead of her. “Kevin’s fine and healthy. It’s just that he


    has lost some money and could not pay his debt. That’s how the whole event was twisted.”


    udia furrowed her brows deeply as she began to grow a prejudice towards Skr’s family.


    She said with despise. “I hope this won’t happen again, regardless of the reason. Ms. Jones, you should


    reflect on what kind of rtives you have.”


    Skr did not respond but just disyed an unnatural smile.


    She could notprehend what exactly udia meant by that. What should I reflect my rtives for?


    It’s not like I can choose my rtives.


    Skr took a few bites, but she seemed to have lost her appetite, even though the dishes were mainly


    her favorite.


    A momentter, udia picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. Her expression turned


    displeased as there was chili in the dish.


    It was not a coincidence but was deliberately instructed by Tobias to the chef, as Skr loved spicy


    foods.


    udia expressed pickily, “Why’s the food so spicy today? My age cannot take such spices anymore.


    Ms. Jones, please eat more. Don’t starve yourself every time you dine here.”


    Skr nodded submissively and resumed her pace of eating. The rain was bing heavier outside,


    along with the strong cold wind.


    After dinner, as Skr was getting ready to leave, Tobias persuaded, “It’ste, and it’s raining outside.


    Why don’t you stay here tonight?”


    Skr gazed at the stormy night outside the window. At that instant, she recalled that Madelyn was on


    leave, so she would be alone if she returned home.


    Thinking of the disturbing midnight calls and the spookyughs, her heart skipped a beat.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    She whispered hesitantly, “That’s a little inappropriate. We’re not married yet.”


    Tobias let out a faint smile. “Are you seriously worried about this? Do you think that if you leave now,


    people will believe your innocence?”


    Skr was somewhat offended by Tobias’ment.


    However, she did not insist on leaving. As udia had gone upstairs to rest, Skr did not mind staying


    for the night.


    She followed Tobias to his room. What weed her was a room of elegant cold grey pigment with


    extraordinary simple interior design.


    It was a total contrast with the fancy luxurious design in the living room.


    Skr spotted the small bed in the room, which only had around one meter half in width.


    “What kind of man still uses a single bed? How are both of us supposed to sleep in it?”
