She knew she would have to face him sooner or later, but until then, she wished to stall for time for as long as she could.
Before Tobias, she felt like a fish fresh out of the water, half-dying but struggling to live.
“I think you might have dirtied the bedsheet…”
Skylar looked puzzled.
With Tobias pointing at the sheet, she shifted her gaze and looked down at the white bedsheet that was now blotched red.
She tried to hide them with her hands, her face flushing a beet red.
“Does your hands come with an automatic purifying function?” Tobias teased.
Oh, how I wish I have that special power. The first thing I’ll do is to purify your damned heart!
“Please turn around. I’m going to change the bedsheet,” Skylar said in embarrassment, and Tobias was surprisingly cooperative.
Skylar was about to remove the bedsheet when she stood frozen by the bed.
Wait a minute, why do I have to look after my image in front of him? I might as well present myself shabbily so that he’ll get sick of me and stop coming over.
Yes, that’s right. That’s what I should do!
With that, Skylar plastered a wicked smile on her face and said, “I think I’ll just let it be, Mr. Ford. It’s a little too troublesome. Are you sure you want to join me in bed? There’s blood on it, and it’s on your side of the bed, not mine.”
Tobias clenched his jaw in frustration. He looked back and saw that Skylar had hopped back into bed again.
“Move. You’re sleeping on that side,” he said, furrowing his brows.
With a man lying beside her and an extra weight on her waist, Skylar couldn’t sleep a wink.
It was five in the morning. The sky wasn’t fully lit, although a beam of light could be seen from afar.
Tossing around in bed, she turned around and looked sideways at the man beside her.
