Chapter 588 Your Tone
The phone rang all of a sudden; it was like a dreadful reminder to Skr. She gazed at the clock on the
wall. It was twelve midnight.
Tobias put her down on the bed, and his hand was already reaching for the buckle of his belt when the
incessantly ringing phone extinguished his desire.
In that instance, Skr could only hear buzzing around her ears. Even the way she looked at Tobias had
changed since the phone started ringing.
“Why aren’t you answering it? Is it because I’m here so it’s inconvenient for you?” Tobias gazed at her
with aplicated look in his eyes.
“It’s a pervert. He calls every night at this hour. If I don’t answer it, he’ll keep calling, and if I answer it, I’ll
only hear his snicker through the call, which was very scary.”
Looking at the series of unfamiliar digits beaming on the screen, Skr bit the bullet and picked up the
call in order to prove that she wasn’t lying.
She had also switched on the speaker mode. As expected, as soon as she answered the phone, his
snigger came from the other end.
“Baby, did you sleep well? It wouldn’t take too long before we can sleep together. Baby, why aren’t you
talking? Without me hugging you at thiste hour, would you be able to fall asleep? I miss you… every
single cell in me is thinking of you.”
Tobias’ countenance turned extremely gloomy. He snatched the phone from Skr and asked, “Who are
you?”
There was a brief moment of silence before his snicker came from the other end again. “It’s sote now.
Why are you still with another man at this hour? I’m going to punish you dearly when the timees.”

With that, the phone was hung up.
When Tobias called the number again, no one picked up.
With a pucker between his eyebrows, Tobias turned to Skr and asked, “Who’s this person? Do you
know him?”
Skr shook her head. Recalling the words that the person said over the phone just a while ago, she
was spooked and had goosebumps all over her. Unnerved, she replied, “I don’t know him either. He calls
every day to harass me, and I can’t identify his voice. He’s using a voice changer. He spoke more
tonight. He normally just sneered and snickered over the phone.”
Tobias replied, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”
Skry back on the bed. Knowing that Tobias was turned off by then, she tossed the opened box and
condom into the bedside drawer.
“I’ve asked someone to check the call records, and they’re allwork numbers that can’t be traced. I
didn’t think it was important, so I didn’t tell you.”
Skr’s exnation was not epted by Tobias nevertheless. He was a little displeased as he said, “I
should be informed promptly about anything that concerns your safety. You can’t distinguish well
between what’s primary and significant from what’s not.”
Skr looked up at him. “Is this how you show your care for me? Your tone doesn’t sound right.”
“Then, who else shall I care about? Never go out alone next time. I’ll send some bodyguards to protect
you.”
Skr didn’t really want to be guarded by Tobias’ bodyguards. All of them were retired mercenaries from
overseas who had blood in their hands, and each one of them was more ruthless than the other.
Though she was reluctant to ept Tobias’ arrangement, she had to give in. She loved going around,
but things were looking good for her under such circumstances.
…
The phone call dashed the sensual atmosphere the night before, and Skr got up from Tobias’
embrace in the morning. Still dazed, shey her head against his chest, and with her dopey eyes, she
looked at Tobias who had already woken up, resting his head on his palm and ncing sideways at her.
Skr got up from the bed. Tobias’ gaze was rather pampering and earnest, instead of distant and cold.
“I should go to the filming crew soon, so I better get going now.” She lifted the nket and got out of bed.
She was so sleepy that her eyes looked misty.
