As for the specific amount, Tobias felt that he did not need to go into such detail with Skylar.
Soon, Tobias arrived at Harbourside. The night breeze was chilly, and as it hit him right in the face, even his breath condensed into clouds of white fog in the air.
Sitting down on the stone steps, he lifted his eyes. He cast his gaze at Skylar, who was standing by the window and had also spotted him.
She waved frantically as though afraid he would not see her.
In truth, he was very much earlier though she had told him to come an hour later.
As her boyfriend, it went without saying that he should go upstairs and greet her family. However, he merely sat on the stone steps downstairs and smoked.
She did not blame him for it since it was a matter of reciprocity. Choosing to be a coward that year, she had decided not to visit the Fords.
It was understandable that he did not head upstairs as he was averse to her family.
He was not acting high and mighty, looking down on them for being poor, but he found it annoying.
Skylar whispered into Miranda's ear, “I'll be leaving first, Mom. Tobias is here to pick me up. Besides, I have to attend the promotional event for my new movie's premiere tomorrow, so I can't stay too late.”
Every time Miranda heard Tobias' name, she would be exceedingly careful, afraid that she would do something to displease him.
In reality, everything she did infuriated the man.
“Why don't you ask him to come up for a visit and have some hot chocolate? Are you not going to continue the tradition of drinking hot chocolate at midnight? We should have it as a family during Christmas, with everyone gathered together. Then, the following year will be a blessed year.” Miranda did not want to allow Skylar to leave, for their relatives were already preparing hot chocolate in the kitchen.
Knowing that Skylar loved cinnamon hot chocolate the most, she even took out some cinnamon sticks from the cupboard when they were preparing the ingredients in the kitchen, planning to make some cinnamon hot chocolate for Skylar separately.
