It would be great if money could buy out the family relationship. After Miranda caused such a mess one after another, Skylar got utterly disappointed in her.
Tobias sent someone to comfort Miranda and promised he would help Quest Group. However, the woman was still skeptical and insisted he leave a written pledge.
Tobias could not have felt more offended by her gesture. “If you don’t trust me, then go ahead and continue with your act of committing suicide.”
Miranda was left speechless, while her heart was bewildered by how disrespectful Tobias treated her.
After all, there was a chance for her to become his mother-in-law in the future. With that thought in mind, she suddenly felt unsatisfied with her daughter.
This problem can be easily solved if Skylar is willing to beg Tobias. She’s the only reason I have to go this far.
Meanwhile, Skylar was standing by the pond in the garden with Tobias opposite of her.
“I think you should not help her. It would be an endless entanglement. Let me figure this out myself,” she spoke after pondering over the situation for a long while. Her voice sounded extremely tired.
Tobias let out a long sigh. “If money can solve the situation, even if temporarily, it would be considered a win for me.”
Skylar wanted to suggest that she would pay back the amount Tobias gave, but she knew there was no way she could afford it.
Initially, Tobias had gone to Skylar’s place purposely to wait for her, but after Miranda’s unexpected episode, all his mood for intimacy had vanished. Both of them slept on the same bed that night, but nothing happened between them.
The man woke up early the next morning. His mind was occupied with the plan to rebuild Quest Group. In fact, he had long expected that he eventually would need to take over the mess.
On the other hand, Skylar had woken up early too and was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. At that moment, she was determined to try everything she could think of to make up for Tobias.
She was making meatloaf from the beef and other ingredients that she had bought at the market that she went to before sunrise.
By then, Tobias had finished taking a shower. He walked into the kitchen in the new grey pajamas Skylar bought for him.
Skylar had just finished preparing the meatloaf and was washing her hands at the basin when he entered the kitchen area.
Tobias greeted her casually and grabbed her hand, pulling her into the bedroom.
The second they entered the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and started kissing her with tongue forcefully like a beast.
She immediately responded to his touch with passion, and the two of them clung to each other intimately. Skylar was satisfied with Tobias’ zeal. He must have gotten a good rest last night.
The kiss lasted for around half an hour before Tobias was finally willing to let go of her lips. Looking at her radiant eyes, he let out a satisfied smile. “Seems like you owe me a big debt now. How do you plan to pay it?”
Skylar hesitated to say she would pay him back with her body. She felt that her body was worthless when compared with the debt from the Quest Group.
“I will try my best to pay back as much as I can.”
Tobias shifted his gaze away from her and said, “Then I’m afraid I will become your debtor this whole life. Are you free now? I feel like going to play sports.”
Skylar propped herself upright with her arms, her expression somewhat puzzled. Tobias had even unzipped her pants but did not proceed to the next step.
She looked at him and joked, “Is your kidney failing?”
He chuckled before teasing, “You want to have sex, right?”
Skylar’s face instantly blushed red.
“It’s unlike your usual style,” she defended.
Tobias smiled. “Maybe I’m too tired from work recently. Just need to have a rest.”
