Chapter 613


    Chapter 613 Will You Be Back Tonight


    Marcus forced himself to forget about the face of the woman in his mind, for she happily went for a date


    but ended up losing her life.


    Marcus could still remember that she had chosen a white floral dress and proudly exined to him her


    reason for choosing it.


    At that unweed memory, he flung his lit cigarette to the ground, stomping on it as he watched Skr


    leave.


    Skr had a petite frame that would rouse men’s urge to wrap her in their arms.


    Marcus felt it was a waste for such a beautiful and innocent girl to be spreading her legs for Tobias at


    night.


    Skr had drunk a few sses of beer, so she had the scent of alcohol lingering around her. Afraid that


    Tobias would smell it, she rolled down the window, letting the cold breeze into the car to wash the scent


    away.


    The car waspletely silent. Cinque, Lionel, and the driver didn’t say anything throughout the ride. The


    only sounds were the wind blowing and the friction between the tires and gravel.


    Suddenly, she remembered the adult toy in Kate’s purse. It was a quick glimpse, but she could tell that


    the toy was a dildo with barbs.


    Skr couldn’t help butpare the toy’s length to Tobias’. After doing so, she concluded that the toy


    lost.


    Skr broke out in a cold sweat as she imagined Amelia on the receiving end of the toy. She couldn’t


    believe that Kate had such a fetish, and the reason for the despair on Amelia’s face finally clicked into


    ce.


    Is it truly worth it? I don’t understand why Amelia chose to jump into the dark abyss when she had other


    options.


    By the time the car stopped, Skr hade up with an exnation for Tobias for herte return. After


    a nce at the clock, she noted it was already a quarter after eleven.


    The lights were still bright in the living room. When Madelyn heard the door opening downstairs, she


    came down.


    “Where is he?” Skr bent down to pick up her shoes. She noticed the pair of blue house slippers sitting


    on the rack beside the leather boat shoes.


    “Mr. Ford is not back yet.”


    Skr lowered her eyes at her reply. Tobias sure was good at talking me into moving in with him but


    didn’t even send me a text about noting back.


    If a couple moved in together before getting married, the elders would usually look down upon the girl.


    Despite that, she had chosen to ignore the humiliation for Tobias’ sake. After all, she wasn’t the daughter


    of a wealthy family. Her background was nothing in the eyes of the Fords, to begin with.


    Initially, she thought moving in together would be the start of a perfect life. Instead, disappointment filled


    her as she realized it was no different from before.


    Plopping onto the couch, she rested her chin on an avocado-shaped pillow and dug through her purse


    for her phone. Then, she toggled to her call history and found Tobias’ number.


    A deep voice came from the phone. “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”


    His question was so direct that Skr couldn’t manage a response. At the same time, she could vaguely


    hear a man’s and a woman’s voices in the background.


    “If the bank doesn’t adjust the interest rate, all our efforts will go down the drain. Split the funds into


    three…”


    “But Mr. Ford, the regtorymission…”


    Skr listened to the broken conversation as she nced at the clock. It was nearly one in the morning,


    yet Tobias was still busy with work.


    At that thought, her resentment dissipated slightly. After all, she had imagined hearing a woman’s voice


    saying that Tobias was still in the shower.


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


    She wondered how to react to that.


    “I’ll hang up if there’s nothing important.” Tobias didn’t have a lot of patience for her that night.


    Skr could tell that he was busy, so her tone brightened slightly. “Will you being back tonight?”
