Skylar's eyes drifted toward the black Porsche and landed on Sheldon,who had gotten off the car and was currently waving at her across thedistance.

While Tobias went to park the car in the garage, Skylar opened thefront door and stepped aside to let Sheldon in.

Sheldon had a cheeky grin on his face when he clarified, “I'm just hereto crash. I won't disturb you two.”

Skylar blushed slightly as she put down her bag. Even though she hadnot been here for a long time, everything looked pretty much the same.For some reason, she felt slightly edgy, as though she was a guest here.When Tobias came in, he told Skylar to wait for him as he had somebusiness affairs to handle, to which Skylar nodded obediently beforegoing upstairs to take a shower.

After coming out of her shower, she saw Sheldon sitting in the livingroom with his long legs resting on the coffee table.

“Are you watching a TV series?”

On the TV, the male lead was earnestly professing his love to thefemale lead.

Skylar rubbed her forehead, never expecting Sheldon to like watchingromance dramas. She remembered watching this particular series whenshe was in elementary school.

At that time, she was young and easily tricked into believing that truelove existed.

Skylar sat on another sofa with water still dripping from the ends of herhair. Sheldon yawned before remarking, “It's quite a nice series. Don'tall you girls like watching these kinds of romance dramas?”

Skylar vaguely sensed that there was a hidden meaning behind hiswords and wondered whether she was becoming paranoid.

Before long, Sheldon fell asleep and started snoring on the sofa. Hence,Skylar switched to another movie to watch. Just as the movie wasreaching its climax, Tobias came downstairs.

Skylar's eyes were still fixated on the TV screen.

Tobias sat beside her and glanced at Sheldon snoring away on the sofa.Suddenly, moans of pleasure came from the movie playing on thescreen

“Let's not watch anymore.” Skylar had turned slightly red in the faceand was grateful for the dim lights.

Tobias slowly leaned forward to kiss her lips. “Why not?”

His warm breath tickled the shell of her ear and the sound of his softyet heavy breathing was all she could hear.

His husky voice filled her ears and she stared transfixed as his gaze turnheavy with desire. As if having a mind of its own, her hand reached forthe remote control to switch off the TV.

Feeling an itch in his nose, Sheldon opened his eyes drowsily only tosee his brother pressing Skylar to the sofa while kissing and fondlingher.

He started grumbling in his heart. Why are they in such a hurry? I mean,c'mon. On the couch? What do they take me for? Air?

He immediately squeezed his eyes shut, pretending to be asleep as hewas afraid of seeing too much.

“Baby, let's go upstairs.”

Sheldon’s whole body had tensed up with cold sweat coating his

back. Oh, thank God. Finally, they're taking it elsewhere.

The next morning, Sheldon went downstairs to see Skylar coming outof the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist right before noticingthe piping hot food served on the table.

Skylar's face was without makeup, but with her exquisite and strikingfeatures, she managed to give off an exotic vibe.

Sheldon had to admit that Skylar was very beautiful, even more so thanher sister Avery.

He pulled out a chair and sat down. Three plates of visually pleasingspaghetti Aglio olio were placed on the table.

“Where's my brother? And what's wrong with your voice?” Sheldonqueried.

He suspected that the two of them had taken things too far last nightand that Tobias was still sleeping due to overexertion.

“He's showering upstairs. He'll be down soon.” Skylar sat acrossSheldon and gave him a pair of cutlery as her cheeks heated up.

She must have screamed her voice hoarse last night.

Recalling the past, Sheldon said wistfully, “My mother used to be busyall the time and would always leave my brother and me at home. Thetwo of us only knew how to cook noodles, and my brother's cookingwas beyond horrible.”
