Tobias gave a confused look. “Who says that a man cannot sleep on asingle bed? The home's just a place for sleeping. It does not look like Ineed to do anything on it.”

Skylar raised a brow at him. “That sounds so sad. Do you not feel anylove in this house?”

Tobias pondered for a while. No, I don't. Long before he and his brotherturned ten, Claudia had been busy working all the time. And now, hewas the one who seldom left his work.

“Stop complaining. Just make do with it. If you don't like it, I can sleepin the guest room. There're plenty of rooms in this house, and you canchoose the one you like.”

Upon hearing that, Skylar shook her head firmly. She refused to stepout of his room as she worried that she might run into Claudia.

She scanned the room, and her eyes locked on the enormous bookshelfat one side of the wall. She stood on her tiptoes and randomly reachedfor an old photo album on the upper shelf.

“Can I have a look?” Skylar asked for permission from the owner.Tobias could hardly remember what was in the album. “Suit yourself.I'm yours anyway, so is everything in this room.

Skylar's face blushed upon hearing that, as it was rare for Tobias to saysomething so romantic.

However, a second after Skylar opened the album, her curiosity seemedto vanish. She shut the album right away and threw it on the table.Confused, Tobias walked over and picked it up to look inside. After afew pages, he realized a photo of him and Idania at the tennis court.Idania was dressed in a white polo shirt and a pink cap, while Tobias'shand was placed around her waist.

Idania’s smile was indeed warm and pure, just like the first sunlight inthe spring.

Skylar observed Tobias’ expression closely while his eyes were staring atthat particular photo for almost a full minute.

At that moment, Skylar's heart was filled with expletives, while a stringof curses flew past her mind.

“Are you done? It was such a good memory, wasn't it?” Skylar utteredcoldly.

Not responding to her question, Tobias took out the only photo of hisand Idania from the album.

Looking at his action, Skylar felt as though a thousand needles werestabbing through her heart.

She spoke in despair. “Tobias, can you stop treating me like this?Why're you taking out that photo? Do you want to put it someplaceyou can see? Look at me. I'm not dead yet, okay?”

Staring at Skylar's jealous expression, Tobias started tearing the photointo pieces and then threw it into the trash can.

“Stop overreacting, would you? I'm not particularly eager to keep thememory in the past. Are you happy now?”

However, Skylar was far from satisfied. It was not the photo thatmattered to her, but the fact that Tobias had brought Idania to playtennis.

Compared to that, most of the time she spent with Tobias was in bed.Tobias had brought her to the golf club once, but she ended up pickingthe ball most of the time. And it could hardly be considered a date, asTobias was talking business with someone else.

Trying to clear her thoughts, Skylar walked over to the bed and sneezedon the bedsheet. To her amazement, it was the scent of whitesandalwood, without a smell of man’s sweat.

Skylar could not comprehend why Tobias was so into this kind ofperfume. The scent reminded her of the smell of incense.

The one-meter-half bed was too small for the two of them. Skylar'ssleeping posture was poor, either with her thighs resting heavily onTobias’ stomach or accidentally slapping him in the face.

For a moment, Tobias even suspected she was pretending to sleep butgrabbing the opportunity to beat him.

At that point, Skylar was hugging his head like a pillow. She lookedhighly seductive wearing his shirt, as he could smell her body scentthrough the thin cloth.
