Chapter 39
Ever since she was a child, she had understood that there was no one she could rely on. She hoped that everything would go smoothly tomorrow even though she did not remind Tobias.
“Are you heading to the office this early? I’ll go with you.” Tanya got up early in the morning and waited for him.
Frowning, Tobias looked at her with a gloomy expression.
Tanya, on the other hand, added with a bright smile, “Since I’m gonna be Mrs. Ford soon, I have to get familiarize myself with the company’s operations. This is also what Mom wants me to do.”
She used Claudia’s name again as she knew very well that Claudia was Tobias’ weakness although he seemed tough and stubborn.
Whenever she was dissatisfied with Tobias, she would go to Claudia to fan the flames.
“Tobias, take Tanya with you. As you two are getting married, you should spend more time together.”
Claudia came downstairs in her pajamas with faint dark circles under her eyes. It was apparent that she couldn’t rest well.
“It’s not convenient,” Tobias said coldly and left.
Tanya, who was ready to go out, looked at him with tears in her eyes.
“Mom, Tobias treats me like this even when we’re not married yet. What should I do in the future? He must be having an affair, Mom. My parents are coming soon, so how should I explain to them?”
She cried aggrievedly, making people feel sorry for her.
Seeing how Tobias had treated Tanya, Claudia was so furious that she clutched her chest, and one of the maids hurriedly handed her the medicine.
She popped two tablets into her mouth. Only then did her breathing return to normal.
“Don’t cry, Tanya. I’ll definitely help you out. Not anyone can just marry into our family.”
Meanwhile, Sheldon was having a sandwich as he watched the scene before him, feeling like he was watching a sad drama.
He also did not know why Claudia liked Tanya so much to a point that she treated Tobias like he was not her biological son.
Unable to stand it, he said, “My dear future sister-in-law, my mom has a heart condition, but you’re bawling in front of her so early in the morning. What are you up to?”
Tanya wished that she could tear Sheldon’s mouth into pieces right there and then.
Holding herself back, she gave Sheldon an innocent look. “Something went into my eyes. I’m so sorry, Mom, I didn’t want to cry. It’s my fault for causing you trouble early in the morning.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The more understanding Tanya was, the more Claudia felt sorry for her as she thought of her as a good woman.
Shooting daggers at Sheldon, she chided, “Why don’t you think before you speak? Finish up your breakfast quickly and go about your business. And get out of my sight.”
After being made to eat dirt, Sheldon shrugged. He had a task from Tobias today, which was to go to the prison to pick someone up.
He stuffed all the remaining half of the sandwich into his mouth as he needed to shut his mouth, for fear that he would mock Tanya again.
At the same time, Skylar was restless all morning.
She did not know if Tobias would go to the prison or if he had already forgotten her request.
After all, he was an unpredictable man whom she could not fathom at all.
Thus, she now regretted not picking her mother up in person.
She would not have asked Tobias for help if she weren’t worried that her mother would be triggered and become mentally unstable again upon seeing her.
When she went to visit her in prison last time, her mother, Miranda, seemed to have lost it. Miranda said that she shouldn’t have given birth to Skylar in the first place and ended up getting her whole life ruined. Not only that, but she also told Skylar that she would not have lived so miserably if it weren’t for her daughter.
At that, Skylar stopped thinking about it.
As everyone’s phone was locked away in the locker during the physique lesson, she sneaked out under the pretext of going to the washroom so that she could call Tobias.
