Sheldon held his cheeks with one hand, staring at his mother. “Why should I? Everything I said is true. We’re both your sons, but you’re biased towards Tobias. If, by any chance, you picked me up from the streets, let me know now! At least I would have some closure when I leave.”
Tobias just stood there quietly. His eyes were riddled with disappointment as he let out a deep sigh. “So, this is what’s bothering you. Tell me, what do you want then?”
At that moment, Skylar was lying on the sofa, exhausted. She felt that her holiday was more tiring than when she was with the filming crew. On top of that, it would be ending soon.
It felt like nothing was done, yet she still did a lot.
After Tobias left the hospital that day, Skylar had not seen him since. Thus, she took out her phone and called to appease him.
“Are you still mad?” Skylar asked. She could tell that it was unexpectedly quiet on the other side of the phone.
“I’m not. Why did you call me? Is the issue with your friend all sorted out?” There were no signs of any emotion in Tobias’ tone.
Skylar felt perplexed, knitting her brows when she heard a knock on the door. It was Tobias, raising the phone in his hand at the door.
With that, Skylar ended the call and went on to tip her toes, wrapping her arms around his neck. “I thought I won’t get to see you before I head back to work. I didn’t even get to spend time with you during this holiday.”
Tobias was silent and kissed her forehead. “I’m not in a good mood today, so stay with me for a bit and don’t say anything.”
That’s a strange request. Skylar was stunned.
“Have you gone bankrupt?” she asked.
Tobias smiled. “Maybe in my next lifetime.”
After hearing that response, Skylar had nothing more to say. She took his coat from him and headed to the kitchen to prepare some food, even though she never asked if Tobias had eaten.
When Skylar came out, she noticed that the ashtray already had three cigarette butts in it, indicating that Tobias smoked that much in such a short span of time.
Thus, she quietly picked up the lighter he left on the coffee table and put it in her pocket.
“The food is ready. Do you want some?” Skylar placed the spaghetti she made on the table.
With that being said, Tobias had no appetite. “Go and take a shower. I’d rather have you instead.”
“I already did.” Skylar frowned. “I work hard to make this, so at least take a few bites and show some appreciation.”
However, Tobias grabbed her arm and pulled her in, pressing her onto the sofa. “Since you already took a bath, let’s enjoy the night with me, show me some passion.”
Skylar did not know what had upset Tobias, but she responded by endearingly wrapping her arms around his neck.
She figured she should give Tobias something to remember before she returned to the filming crew.
Moments later, Skylar’s nose was bright red. Her eyes, bloodshot as tears formed inside. Despite that, she bit her lip, enduring the pain she was going through.
Noticing that, Tobias paused. “What’s wrong? Is it too much? Is it your butt or somewhere else that’s in pain?”
Skylar kept quiet. Even though this was not the first time she experienced Tobias’ special treatment, she felt an inexplicable sense of indignant.
Her butt was bright red from the spanking that Tobias issued. That was one of his fetishes.
“You girls are too dramatic,” Tobias snorted. “This should be enjoyable, but you’re making it look like it’s a sort of torture. You’re inexperienced, so you don’t know the real pleasures of the flesh.”
Skylar’s face prickled as Tobias was, without a doubt, in a bad mood that night.
Usually, he would have comforted Skylar if something similar occurred.
But people like him would never understand how one’s word might hold so much influence over another individual.
