    Chapter 609 Sharing Experiences Of Annulling Marriages


    Skr wrapped her hair up into a neat bun. Coupled with her minimally made-up face, there was an


    indescribably insouciant sense of beauty to her. Even without even eyeshadow, this simple look was able


    to entuate the snowy fairness of her skin.


    Tobias unraveled the ck stic band she had on. “I told you before that I like the way you look with


    your hair loose.”


    Wrapping that stic band around her wrist, Skr intended to wait until Tobias left before tying her hair


    back up. He has no idea how hot it is having my hair let down.


    She wanted to talk to Tobias some more, but he had already shifted his attention elsewhere and turned


    away in search of his earpiece.


    Skr briefly looked at the Bluetooth earpiece Tobias was wearing and his sleeves that were rolled up


    halfway. Inferring from that, she guessed that he was preparing to drive out and make a work-rted call


    along the way.


    He continued to stay on the line even when she stepped outside the door and made no indication that he


    meant to send her to work.


    After having his offers to drive her on a couple of asions turned down, Tobias seemed to have taken it


    as a given that she did not need him as her chauffeur.


    Though she had been standing in the doorway for some time, Tobias seemed to have overlooked her


    existence and no longer spared her any extra time that he might have.


    Even if she did not understand the content of the work he was discussing, his assertive disy was one


    that was unique to those who were used to being in high ces.


    Although his tone was stern, it never came across as unapproachable.


    She did not bid him farewell before she bundled up her own hair and departed.


    That sicko Charles did not callst night. Skr did not know what to do about him but opined that that


    man would sooner orter be a problem if he was not taken care of.


    Unable toe up with a good solution, she filed a police report. Though he was called in for


    questioning, Charles was released less than two hourster.


    There was little she could do apart from putting a tail on him. After all, she could not possibly have him


    killed on a personal whim!


    When Skr exited the house, she saw that Cinque and Lionel were already waiting outside. These two


    statuesque, strappingds were like her guardian angels, and she felt much safer having them around.


    Judging from their physical stature, she assumed that they should not have any problems individually


    taking on five opponents at the same time.


    Skr took up the seat to the rear of the front passenger seat as that was the most secure position to be


    in, even in the event of an ident.


    She was not sure what time Tobias left the house. As a boss, his schedule was more flexible than typical


    white-cor workers.


    Gavin had waited all night. It was only then that Tobias had time to return his call and arrange for them to


    meet at the office.


    However, the former looked crestfallen. Though the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly outside, he


    pulled out a cigarette and settled himself down in a smog of mncholy.


    “Laurel’s back. I told her that if she was willing, we could still continue dating even after I got married. But


    it has be apparent now that she wants to cut ties with mepletely. Women are a real pain in the


    ass.”


    Tobias snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray. “Really? Did youe over here this early just to gripe


    about that one woman? What advice can I possibly offer you?”


    The fingers that Gavin used to prop up the cigarette trembled. “You’ve already gotten yourself a girlfriend


    now, Mr. Ford! I just wanted to tap on your experience of getting a marriage annulled.”


    Gavin held Tobias’ past heroics in much esteem, as he heard that udia had nearly passed out in a fit


    before everyone present back then.


    He knew well how domineering the old matron was, being one who never took no for an answer. Tobias


    also had a reputation for being a filial son who rarely went against his mother’s will.


    Word had it that udia was full of praise for her then chosen daughter-inw with everyone she


    encountered. Hence, he wondered why nothing eventually came of it.


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


    It was only after Gavin returned to the country that he heard about Tobias’ infidelity through the


    grapevine. As for who the third party was, no one seemed to have a clue.


    However, Gavin was not surprised either. Tobias had always been an aloof person, quite unlike himself


    who was steadfast and tried everything to bridge the distance between Laurel and himself in spite of


    everything.


    How Gavin wished that he could carry out such a valorous act too! In the past few days, he had been in


    regr contact with his future spouse.


    At no point did he ever feelfortable in thepany of the woman whom he found to be nothing but


    pretentious. If he had to spend the rest of his life with this person he did not fancy, Gavin was afraid that


    he might lose his mind.
