Skylar and Mackayla chatted the entire afternoon. When it was time to pay the bill for their meal, Skylar tried to foot the bill. However, Mackayla stopped her and uttered, “I was the one who invited you out for a meal. How could I let you pay?”
Skylar had to admit that she was slightly pretentious for wanting to keep up appearances. Even when she had no money, she tried to foot the bill when her friends invited her for a meal. She felt uneasy about accepting others' generosity.
Only when she went out to eat with Tobias did she not feel the need to pretend. Initially, she felt embarrassed and burdened but gradually felt at ease as Tobias refused to let her spend a single cent.
Skylar looked at the bill. They had spent about seven thousand for one meal. She was afraid she would go bankrupt if they kept eating like this.
Her grandmother once told her that the amount of food one could eat and the blessings one could receive were limited in one's lifetime. One's life would end once they reached a certain point.
Despite Mackayla's offer, Skylar still paid the bill with her credit card, and Tobias' card remained safely in her pocket.
Mackayla didn't want to argue with Skylar, so she compromised and said, “All right. I guess it has to be this way. I'll treat you next time!”
At this moment, her phone rang. The ringtone was an old-fashioned children's song, “Three Brown Bears.” Paired with her pink rabbit phone case, it gave her a cute and feminine vibe.
“Okay. I just finished my meal. Where are you waiting for me? I'll come over as soon as possible.”
Skylar initially wanted to go shopping with Mackayla and buy a few sets of pajamas. Her silk nightgowns had all been torn apart by Tobias.
He was too lazy to remove her clothes and simply tore them apart.
Upon hearing Mackayla had other plans, Skylar said, “You should go ahead. I'll shop around and go back later.”
Mackayla hit her head lightly and responded, “I'm sorry. I forgot I made plans with Grace to help her boyfriend choose a bag.”
