She had only suddenly thought of it and simply wanted to casually complain about it.
Outside, the winds were raging, but it was warm in the villa. She was afraid she would ruin the good atmosphere that night.
Whenever she interacted with Tobias, she always told herself not to be silly and to forget it. However, there was always some anxiousness present, and she could never be fully relaxed.
Once she said those words, Tobias, who had picked up his book again, put it aside and went to the kitchen to help her.
After all, if she had not mentioned anything, he would never have thought of it and would have felt that she was too hypocritical.
Moreover, such a small matter was ultimately within his power and was not tiring to do at all.
He did not understand what was going on in women’s minds and what they were thinking. However, he did not want to understand them either.
When he entered, Skylar had already heated the dishes. She then opened the pot and took out a serving of spaghetti.
Something doesn’t look right about this spaghetti.
She asked, “Do you want to eat? Should I get another set of utensils out?”
“I already ate. These dishes are for you,” he replied as he helped to open the boxes and placed them on the table.
Moreover, he was afraid that she would complain about working all day and being tired but having no one to give her some water. As a result, he poured her a glass of warm water before she could even think about it.
Afterward, Skylar sat down and scanned the array of dishes on the table. They all looked delicious and smelled heavenly. His home chef must also have a star chef background.
There were barbecued pork ribs, roasted asparagus, grilled salmon, and even steak salad. Although they were simple dishes, they were cooked to restaurant standards.
She first took a bite of the spaghetti. However, Tobias seemed to have cooked it for too short a time. Resultantly, the raw spaghetti had a hard, grainy texture that made it difficult to swallow.
“Does it taste bad?” he asked, thinking that there was a problem with the dishes.
She then pushed the plate over to him.
“The spaghetti’s too hard. I can’t eat it.”
Tobias had always been a determined, confident person. Up to the point that he ate the spaghetti, he did not think there was an issue with it.
Only after he took a bite did he realize that there was a weird taste. Although the outside was cooked, the inside was not.
He said, “Forget it, don’t eat it anymore. I don’t really cook, so I have no experience. I’ll take note next time.”
Nodding, she then bit into a pork rib before noticing that Tobias’ eyes were on her. It felt as if she were doing an eating show.
By that time, she had already gradually gotten used to others’ gazes. On the filming set, one always had many cameras focused on them and would not know which of their expressions would later be shown on screen. Thus, even when eating a simple salad, she would always be worried that food would get stuck on her teeth.
Although she was not afraid that others would stare at her, it did not apply to Tobias.
Consequently, she slowed down her eating, chewing so slowly that she could be described as a gentle lady.
“Eat quickly! You’re eating as if you’re at a slow wedding banquet.” Upon hearing that comment, she almost choked on her food.
She had thought that all men liked women who ate elegantly while sitting upright.
However, after staring at her for a long time, he instead thought that she was eating too slowly.
After the meal, Tobias began reading War and Peace again. Meanwhile, Skylar headed upstairs to take a shower. When she went back down again, he was still reading his book with a solemn expression on his face.
It was one of his habits that she admired a lot. That is, he was very dedicated no matter what he did.
Finding a comfortable position, she then leaned into him. In response, he freed an arm and put it around her shoulders, rubbing it for a while.
“Why did you let me act in Josiah’s show? I found out that it’s one of this year’s biggest shows,” she asked.
He smiled at her words, although the meaning behind the smile was unclear.
She then continued, “Is it because you really think I’m suitable or because you simply want to use such resources to carve a path out for me. Now everyone in the company’s discussing why I even got to become the female lead.”
“Don’t you want this role?” he asked. He only wanted to know the result, so others’ opinions were not important to him.
