Chapter 599


    Chapter 599 Skr Is Your Ex


    Tobias did not respond to Gavin’s question. He wanted to avoid the topic as he did not wish to discuss


    his romantic life with others.


    However, Gavin was certain that, even though Tobias had broken off his engagement, thetter was


    seeing someone new.


    The hickeys and scratches on his neck exined everything.


    During the brief chat with Tobias, Gavin had also mentioned that he did not intend to leave the country


    anytime soon.


    Even though Tobias did not ask for the reason, Gavin offered it willingly as he began to air his


    grievances. “My mom has started to arrange for my marriage. She kept saying that I’m already over


    thirty, and it’s time for me to settle down. She has even threatened to sever all ties with me if I don’t do


    that.”


    Tobias could empathize with how Gavin felt. Marriage of convenience wasmon for families like


    theirs. After all, for businesses, it was all about cooperating to achieve mutual benefits.


    Happily ever after only belonged to fairy tales. In reality, the most important thing was that both families


    were of simr social status.


    There was ady whom Gavin had dated for a few years. Tobias had even met her a few times. She was


    an attractivedy, but the both of them still broke up in the end.


    With a hint of sorrow in his voice, Gavin smiled and said, “When I told my mom that I wanted to marry


    Laurel, she said that other than bringing endless trouble into my life, marrying her would not bring me


    any benefits. Her family is not well-to-do, and we belong to two separate worlds. Due to our different


    upbringings, we wouldn’t have any simr values. Even if I gave her a credit card, she wouldn’t even


    know what to spend on.”


    Tobias fell silent as he recalled that he had a simr conversation with udia previously. udia had


    also questioned him about Skr’s value in his life.


    However, Tobias had never needed to rely on anyone, much less a woman.


    Gavin became increasingly dejected as he spoke. As Tobias promised Skr that he would be back


    before she slept, he got up to pay the bill. Noticing Gavin’s slightly drunken state, he asked, “Will you be


    able to get home yourself?”


    Gavin nodded and replied with slurred speech, “How can I let Mr. Ford send me back? I’ve already called


    for a driver. Where are you heading to? Do you need a lift?”


    Gavin’s house was just a short distance away from Tobias’, so he had assumed that they would be


    traveling home together.


    However, Tobias replied inly, “My girlfriend is waiting for me at home. I’ll be going to her ce.”


    Gavin’s eyes lit up when he heard that. It was the first time he had heard Tobias mentioned the word


    “girlfriend.”


    Teasingly, he replied, “Which girl’s heart are you going to break again? When do you intend to break up


    with her?”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Tobias shot a nce at his friend and said, “Do you really think I’m a yer?”


    After knowing Tobias for over a decade, Gavin knew Tobias’ character very well. “You’re not a yer,


    you’re just heartless. After a breakup, I’ll take more than a year to truly move on, but you probably won’t


    even feel anything at all,” Gavin replied.


    Tobias did not respond and merely let Gavin carry on with his story.


    A whileter, Tobias followed the address sent to her by Skr and found her favorite food stalls, located


    at the back gate of the woman’s high school.


    Even though it was alreadyte at night, a few stalls along both sides of the road were still brightly lit,


    providing supper for people returningte.


    Skr had requested doughnuts, roasted chestnuts, and a hotdog. Tobias thought that since he was


    already there, he might as well buy more.


    As such, he also bought some fried chicken and pizza.


    “I used to bring my ex-girlfriend here very often. As I did not have much money then, she always said


    that we should juste here once a week. She loveding here with me. Whenever we are here,


    she would want to sit next to me instead of us facing each other.”


    Tobias narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the young couple, who were sitting at a table at the kebab


    stall.


    The woman was resting her chin on her hand as she listened attentively to the man talking about his ex-


    girlfriend. It was obvious from the look in her eyes that she was very in love with him.


    “Is your ex-girlfriend really Skr? She’s so pretty and elegant. Herplexion is so smooth and fair as


    well.”


    “Of course! I won’t lie to you. This is Skr’s favorite stall. However, that’s all in the past. She’s so


    famous now, and we no longer belong to the same world. You’re not jealous, right?”


    The woman smiled coyly and replied, “Why would I be jealous? I’m not that petty.”
