Judy didn't stay for dinner since it was evident members of the Ford family didn't regard her as a guest.
Sheldon tried to get her to stay since he didn't want her to leave on an empty stomach. It was the Christmas season. He felt bad that she had to celebrate the holiday alone.
Judy patted his shoulder and assured him, “There's nothing I'm afraid of. I'm already used to being alone after so many years. I'll order some takeout when I get home. Even though it's Christmas, the deliverymen still need to earn some money.”
Allie was standing not far away from them, so she heard their conversation.
After Tobias' unpleasant meeting with Judy, numerous thoughts played in his mind. How many awful things did Skylar do behind my back? But she doesn't seem like someone who would blackmail others with nude photos.
Tobias had never doubted his judgment, but most of the time, he had hoped Skylar wouldn't be as kind as she was.
All lay loads on the willing horse. He had always taken those words and its meaning seriously.
During dinner, Kai would occasionally steal glances at Tobias.
Unconsciously, Skylar would come to his mind. Ever since the filming ended, he hadn't had any contact with her.
Most of the time, he wouldn't get a reply to the texts he had sent to Skylar, so he had simply assumed she was so busy that she didn't have the time to look at her phone. However, his notification tone pinged, informing him Skylar had just posted a new photo on Instagram.
That could only mean one thing: She was intentionally avoiding him.
Her scandal with Marcus had been brewing as of late. Kai had no idea what she was trying to do.
He knew she was walking on a thin rope but didn't understand the severity of the feud between Tobias and Marcus.
Most of the resentment stemmed from Marcus and was directed at Tobias.
“My daughter-in-law is pregnant. It's a boy this time.” Claudia's sister, Rose, shared the good news with everyone at the table.
