Tobias gazed at her sternly. “You were afraid I’d go back on my word and end up not taking your mother here, weren’t you? That’s why you came here to verify things. You said you didn’t want to see her, but here you are anyway.”
Skylar closed her eyes. This guy’s way too sharp! He knows exactly what I’m thinking.
“But how can I trust you? It’s not like we’re that close or in an actual relationship.”
Tobias let go of her and returned to his seat. Amidst his frosty presence, he silently cautioned himself to remain clearheaded.
“Not that close? How many times have we done it with each other? You told me all this, and I promised to help you, so stop doubting me.”
Skylar glanced out the window, feeling helpless and anguished. Deep down, she was so insecure that she couldn’t trust anyone.
Upon returning to International Garden, Skylar prepared to close the door, thinking that Tobias wasn’t going to stay the night.
She had also figured out his routine; the man would come every three days for official duties.
“What are you doing? I haven’t entered yet.” Tobias held out his arm, and Skylar nearly closed the door on him.
