Kai saw Tobias entering the room in his black leather jacket, and thesmile on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, while heplaced a piece of pork on Skylar's plate.

Seeing his actions, Tobias frowned. Skylar was totally oblivious to theman’s arrival, smiling and teasing Sheldon, calling him “the retiredplayboy.”

Suddenly, she felt a cold breeze brush across her face and the familiarscent made her turn around. After lifting her head to look at the manbehind her, she blurted out, “Why are you here?”

Tobias pulled a chair over and sat beside her. “Why? Am I not welcomehere?”

Sheldon asked the server to prepare a set of cutlery for Tobias, but thelatter said indifferently, “No need.”

Skylar hurriedly explained, “I was surprised because Sheldon didn't tellme you'll be here.”

Tobias swept a glance at Kai meaningfully. Taking Skylar's spoon, hescooped the piece of pork cutlet and placed it on Sheldon’s plate.Sheldon was touched when Tobias gave him food. “Tobias, youremembered I like pork cutlet?”

Kai's expression turned dark. Why does he mind if I give food to Skylar?Did he use up his generosity doing business? He's so petty.

“Have you finished eating? Let's go home if you're done.” Tobiasobviously wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Chewing the piece of pork cutlet in his mouth, Sheldon hurriedly seizedthe opportunity and begged Tobias. “Tobias, can you give me somemoney, please? When will you stop freezing my account? It's almost mygirlfriend's birthday, and I can't even afford a Hermés bag for her.”Folding his arms, Tobias leaned against the chair and scrutinized him.“Don't buy it then. Must it be Hermes?”

Sheldon scratched his head in frustration. Never did he think Tobias wasserious about punishing him. A long time had passed, but his heartdidn’t seem to soften at his brother's suffering.

He mumbled, “When we went out, she was looking at the bag in theHermés shop. I'm sure she wanted that bag from the look in her eyes,and I can't afford to hurt her feelings.”

Even though Sheldon looked pitiful, Tobias ignored his pathetic stateand rejected him mercilessly once again. “I'll say it again. If you wantmoney, earn it yourself.”

Having his hopes extinguished by his ruthless brother, Sheldon was at aloss. Now, He didn’t seem like he was from a rich family. Instead, he wasso poor to the extent of buying a meal for himself would post an issue.Sheldon was anxious and fought back. “Tobias, what do you want me todo? Relatives are more important to you than money, no?”

Tobias didn't bat an eye at him playing the family card and saidindifferently, “Come work at the company and use your salary to buythe bag.”

Sheldon knew Tobias wasn't someone who would repeat his wordstwice, so he could only give in and hold on while waiting for a turningpoint.

Kai didn't blink as he stared at them while a whirlpool of emotions wasforming in his heart. Ever since Tobias came in, he sat so close to Skylar.After eating, the server verified the dish they ordered. Sheldon took alook at the bill, the meal was expensive.

Sheldon turned to look at Kai with a pleading look in his eyes, while thelatter took out his phone to pay the bill. Sheldon initially claimed hewas treating them to a meal, but in the end, Kai was the one paying.After paying for Skylar, Tobias walked away while the woman followedbehind him. His legs are long, so the distance between his steps wasquite far, and Skylar could only jog to catch up with him.

When she sat in the front passenger seat, Tobias commanded, “Sit inthe backseat.”

Skylar looked at Tobias. He was expressionless and didn’t seem angry,but it was obvious that he wasn't pleased.

Then she sat in the backseat while the man drove the car.

After a series of turns, they got further and further away from theirhouse, and it was over an hour's ride.

Skylar couldn“t help but asked, “Where are you taking me?”
