I even told Penelope before to have a backup plan for when Brayden decides to leave her, but she refused to listen. How naive can she be?
Skylar waited for almost three hours on the bed for Tobias, but he was still nowhere to be seen.
She went downstairs to check on him. The dining table was already cleaned up and so were the dishes. Wow, he’s way better at this than I am.
Skylar called out Tobias’ name, but there was no response.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard coming from the stairs. Skylar turned her attention toward the sound and saw Tobias treading down the stairs.
He had a black suit on and looked rather dashing.
“It’s already so late. Where are you going? You even changed into your suit.” Skylar lost count of the number of times she had asked him this same exact question.
“I forgot to visit my ancestors’ graves. It’s currently that time of the year. Claudia gave me a call and told me to hurry over. I need to go now. There’s about an hour left. I might still be able to make it in time.”
Skylar was rather perplexed. What kind of family visits their ancestors’ graves during festive seasons?
“Are you coming home tonight?”
Tobias murmured, “I’ll try…”
“Do you want to accompany me?” he added on.
Skylar replied indifferently, “I don’t think your mom would like that idea very much. As you already know, your mom isn’t exactly fond of me.”
Tobias smiled and responded, “It’s going to be fine. You can just wait for me in the car. We can head home together once it’s over.”
With her curiosity piqued, Skylar agreed to go with him. I’ll just stay in the car. I’d like to avoid seeing Claudia if possible.
In order to match Tobias’s outfit, Skylar wore a black coat paired with black leggings, which complemented very well with her slender physique.
Tobias caressed her face. “You should refrain from wearing this type of pants again. It’ll be hard for me to remove them on the car.”
I can’t believe he’s making lewd jokes at a time like this! Is there anything else on his mind besides sex?
Skylar replied, “It won’t be that hard. You’ll just have to untie the strings here and it’ll come right off.”
“Really? I’d rather you not wear anything at all,” Tobias teased her.
After that, Skylar got into Tobias’ car and they took off to their destination.
“Are we allowed to visit during festive seasons? Or rather, will it be opened?”
“This entire mountain is my property. So, it’s fine.”
After hearing Tobias’ response, Skylar was speechless. As a girl who had lived a frugal life, she couldn’t relate to his statement.
Waiting in the car, Skylar looked through the window and saw a copious amount of people at the site.
In the meantime, Claudia was speaking to Tobias. “Where have you been? I can’t even reach you. Why didn’t you come home?”
“Something came up at work.” Tobias gave a terse explanation.
In the car, Skylar saw a line of people in black suits, including Tobias, kneeling in front of his ancestors’ graves.
It’ll be nice if I can proudly kneel beside him right now.
