Skylar’s eyes drifted toward the black Porsche and landed on Sheldon, who had gotten off the car and was currently waving at her across the distance.
While Tobias went to park the car in the garage, Skylar opened the front door and stepped aside to let Sheldon in.
Sheldon had a cheeky grin on his face when he clarified, “I’m just here to crash. I won’t disturb you two.”
Skylar blushed slightly as she put down her bag. Even though she had not been here for a long time, everything looked pretty much the same. For some reason, she felt slightly edgy, as though she was a guest here.
When Tobias came in, he told Skylar to wait for him as he had some business affairs to handle, to which Skylar nodded obediently before going upstairs to take a shower.
After coming out of her shower, she saw Sheldon sitting in the living room with his long legs resting on the coffee table.
“Are you watching a TV series?”
On the TV, the male lead was earnestly professing his love to the female lead.
Skylar rubbed her forehead, never expecting Sheldon to like watching romance dramas. She remembered watching this particular series when she was in elementary school.
At that time, she was young and easily tricked into believing that true love existed.
Skylar sat on another sofa with water still dripping from the ends of her hair. Sheldon yawned before remarking, “It’s quite a nice series. Don’t all you girls like watching these kinds of romance dramas?”
Skylar vaguely sensed that there was a hidden meaning behind his words and wondered whether she was becoming paranoid.
Before long, Sheldon fell asleep and started snoring on the sofa. Hence, Skylar switched to another movie to watch. Just as the movie was reaching its climax, Tobias came downstairs.
Skylar’s eyes were still fixated on the TV screen.
Tobias sat beside her and glanced at Sheldon snoring away on the sofa.
Suddenly, moans of pleasure came from the movie playing on the screen.
“Let’s not watch anymore.” Skylar had turned slightly red in the face and was grateful for the dim lights.
