Skylar didn’t dare tell Tobias that she was trying to lose weight as he wanted her to look plumper. Ideally, he wanted her to have big breasts and protruding hips so that it felt curvaceous to the touch. However, her figure was still pretty good with curves in all the right places.
Tobias had even asked her before if she had stopped growing after sixteen.
Despite sounding harmless, it was an utterly humiliating question.
She had actually put some serious thought into it. She only vaguely remembered that she had to wear a long sleeve school uniform even in summer. It had covered all her physical beauty that came along with puberty. Hence, no one thought about buying bras for her.
At that time, she thought how wonderful it would be if her mom were still around. However, she grew up with minimal supervision as her parents were not around. As Grandma was already old, this was one of the things that slipped her mind.
Skylar opened the fridge in front of Tobias. “The fridge is empty. So I’ll head to school first before stocking it up. What do you want to eat tonight?”
Tobias picked up the bread that Skylar had eaten halfway and took a bite. He immediately found it unpalatable.
“You can save the trouble. I won’t be staying here for the next few days. You decide whatever you want to eat. Or else I can get a chef to cook for you every day.”
When Tobias told her what his plans were, Skylar pursed her lips. She had many plans in her mind as she assumed he would be treating the place like home and spend more time with her. However, it now appeared that he had different plans.
“Where are you going if you’re not staying here?”
“Home. My mom is due for her heart surgery. The international team of specialists treating my mom concluded that we shouldn’t delay any longer. After all, it is an extremely risky surgery.”
When Tobias brought up the matter, his eyes were filled with concern. There were risks in any surgery and he was worried that his mom couldn’t survive it.
