The ceremony lasted for more than an hour. After the ceremony ended,Tobias was called upon by one of the priests.

The priest was highly revered by his mother, Claudia.

“Mr. Ford, I wish you peace and happiness.”

Tobias put his palms together before leaving.

Claudia caught up to him and uttered, “Drive me home. I've preparedsome food at home. We can eat together.”

Tobias gave her a smile. “You should ask your driver to send you backinstead. I can’t have dinner with you tonight.”

Claudia was well-aware of where he was rushing off to. That woman hasmy son wrapped around her finger.

I told him countless times before to prioritize his responsibilities overhis relationships, but he just won't listen.

Everything started going awry ever since she came along...

When Tobias got in the car, the vise that was gripping Skylar's chestfinally loosened up.

Having spotted Winnie in the crowd just now, Skylar queried, “DidWinnie get permission from your mom to attend the ceremony?”Tobias explained, “There were a lot of people at the ceremony. My momwasn't able to recognize every one of them.”

Skylar understood the meaning behind his words. So he never evenintroduced Winnie to Claudia in the first place.

On their way back home, the traffic was rather smooth.

During the holidays, the large city they lived in would become lifelessand empty. This was due to the people in the city returning back totheir hometowns.

Tobias dialed down the air conditioner in the car to prevent Skylar fromcatching a cold.

Bored, Skylar was humming a song to herself. I must admit, this israther peaceful. If only I could preserve this moment forever.

She was delighted to have Tobias by her side.

Tobias continued to stay beside her for the rest of the week. The two ofthem didn’t lay a single foot outside the house during that entire week.At night, they would make love in the bed; and in the daytime, theywould watch movies together.

As for the movies that they watched, Tobias preferred classical movieswhile Skylar was more into comedies.

Their tastes in movies were quite different.

Skylar asked Tobias, “Do you like dramas?”

“No, they take way too long to finish. Dramas tend to stretch the storylonger than it needs to be.”

“What about the drama that I acted in?” Skylar was curious to know ifTobias had watched her drama “Unrequited Love.”

Tobias responded, “Oh, I forgot to watch it. I'll take a look at it when I'mfree. What's the name of the drama again?”

Are you kidding me? Even my acquaintances knew the name of thedrama I acted in.

When will he start paying attention to me?

Vexed, Skylar got up from the couch and sat further away from Tobias.The movie “Roman Holiday” was playing on the TV. What kind of stupidmovie is this? Ugh, I've had enough!
