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 prepared some food at home. We can eat together.”
Tobias gave her a smile. “You should ask your driver to send you back instead. I can’t have dinner with you tonight.”
Claudia was well-aware of where he was rushing off to. That woman has my son wrapped around her finger.
I told him countless times before to prioritize his responsibilities over his 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 chest finally loosened up.
Having spotted Winnie in the crowd just now, Skylar queried, “Did Winnie get permission from your mom to attend the ceremony?”
Tobias explained, “There were a lot of people at the ceremony. My mom wasn’t able to recognize every one of them.”
Skylar understood the meaning behind his words. So he never even introduced 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 lifeless and empty. This was due to the people in the city returning back to their hometowns.
