Sheldon did not greet her as enthusiastically as he usually did. Instead, he had a grave expression on his face as he remained silent.
Skylar had never seen Sheldon that way before.
“Skylar’s thinking of having some seafood. You’re okay with that, right?”
In a sarcastic tone, Sheldon answered, “I thought we were going to have tacos, but it seems like Skylar’s preferences are changing, huh? It seems like her tastebuds now crave better food.”
Skylar gave him a small smile. “I’m just worried that you might be upset about eating tacos with me all the time. Won’t it demean your status as a rich man?”
Skylar knew why Sheldon was acting in this way; she knew Winnie must have said something to Sheldon.
Glancing at Sheldon, Tobias uttered, “You should appreciate the fact that you’re getting to eat. Why are you so picky?”
Sheldon was in a foul mood. Ever since Skylar appeared, his place in his brother’s heart had been plummeting.
Thus, he complained, “Tobias, can’t you be fairer? Stop acting bias toward Skylar. Skylar was mean to my girlfriend, but you didn’t even bat an eyelash at it. Don’t you know how embarrassed I was in front of Winnie?”
By then, the trio had arrived outside a Ferropenian restaurant.
Sheldon’s expression was as dark as the night, and it was as if he was a sulky child.
He kept complaining in the car, and Tobias ignored him the entire way.
Upon thinking about how Tobias looked down on her stingy ways, Skylar pursed her lips. She was not one who did not mind troubling others.
When others treated her to a meal, she dared not order expensive dishes so that they would not need to spend so much on her. She did the same even when the other person is a rich man.
However, under Sheldon’s watchful eyes, she ordered six plates of lobsters.
