Chapter 753 Suffocating Atmosphere At Home
Skylar got into the car with Tobias and sat in the passenger seat, fuming silently. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Tobias fastened her seatbelt and grabbed her left hand. Although Skylar was wearing the ring today, she was wearing it on her middle finger, as if implying that she was single.
Tobias took off the ring from Skylar's middle finger and demanded, “If I recall correctly, you can block people through your phone, right? Does your phone not have that function? You're usually an expert at playing with your phone...”
Skylar replied, “Yeah. Are you asking me to block Marcus? Since he used to be a producer, we've had work-related exchanges before. It won't be appropriate to block him just like that, right? There's nothing between us, anyway. Also, aren't you being hypocritical? You've got Idania saved in your contacts too. Why didn't you block her?”
Tobias raised his voice, now sounding slightly angry. “Skylar, listen up! Just because I haven't interrogated you about those nonsensical scandals doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. Even though you know that Marcus has impure intentions toward you, why are you still throwing yourself at him? You're not young anymore, so you don't need me to teach you everything. Are you unable to handle your relationships with men properly? I don't want to say these words again. If you understand, good. If you don't, let's stop being together.”
Skylar met Tobias' gaze, which was chillingly fierce. An aggrieved feeling surfaced within her.
Why is Tobias interrogating me so sternly even though I didn't do anything wrong? Does he want to break up? Why didn't he practice what he preached before demanding the same thing from me? Everyone in the company is talking about how biased he is to Saorise.
She rarely confronted Tobias about those rumors and instead chose to believe in him steadfastly. Yet, this was how he returned her favor.
With her suppressed emotions bursting forth, she demanded angrily, “You just don't trust me, Tobias. Why are you being so fierce to me? You didn't even give me a chance to explain. Even death row inmates have the opportunity to appeal. Yet, you gave me such a harsh scolding without clarifying anything. You're being too much...”
Tobias often acted in a domineering manner. He believed that some things did not require explanations, for they were nothing but excuses.
Not wanting to be in a confined space with Tobias, Skylar placed her hand on the car handle and was about to leave.
Tobias did not stop her either. He said indifferently, “Just leave. You want to get out of the car once you are angry. Who spoiled you like that? If you want to leave so badly, get out.”
Skylar became even angrier when she heard that remark. Whenever she argued with Tobias, he would not drag the fight on or say much. However, his stiff attitude was scarier than if he had just rambled on endlessly.
Furious, she blurted without any inhibitions, “So are you going to break up with me? Are you going to draw boundaries with me today just because of this trivial matter?”
Skylar did not dare to drink too much as she did not have an assistant or driver with her. In fact, she still had to send a drunk Penelope home.
When Skylar saw how Penelope kept pouring drinks down her throat, she coaxed, “What if you feel unwell after drinking so much? I'll send you home now.”
Penelope resisted adamantly. “Why should I go home? The atmosphere there is so suffocating! My mom scolds me every day for being shameless enough to have a kid before marrying. She says that I'm just a monstrous freak!”
