Sheldon answered with no hesitation. “Of course I am. She’s the kindest and prettiest girl I’ve ever met. She has a heart for stray dogs and will cry whenever she sees any homeless animal on the street. Though she doesn’t have a wealthy family, she’s diligent and ambitious.”
Skylar fell silent after hearing his reply. Alright, I’d better not meddle in their relationship. Sheldon has every right to love Winnie, even though I dislike her.
“By the way, since she has a humble family background, will Mrs. Ford be okay with it if you bring her home?” Skylar brought up the key issue in their relationship.
Her question killed two birds with one stone, even though she was close to giving up. Claudia’s attitude means nothing to me, since I’m not going to marry Tobias, so she and I will never be a family.
Tobias looked over his shoulder at Skylar. Resting her chin on her hands, she smiled at him. ”Don’t worry, I’m not planning on anything. I’m simply curious about it.”
On the other hand, Sheldon was already imagining how things would be like when his mother saw his girlfriend for the first time. Shaking his head, he brushed those scary images in his mind aside.
Afterward, Tobias asked his brother to pull over by the road. Skylar couldn’t help but gulp at the sight of the taco food truck by the roadside.
There’s nothing more enjoyable than having a beef taco when I’m starving in the middle of the night.
Sheldon got out of the car after the couple and took a seat beside Skylar. As Tobias went to order their food, the woman reminded him that she didn’t want any cilantro in her taco.
“Are you close to Winnie? She’s an innocent and straightforward person, so she’s still a kid and can be ignorant sometimes. Please take care of her, alright?” Sheldon’s lips twitched up instinctively when he talked about his girlfriend.
Skylar remembered clearly about Tobias’ opinion of his brother. Tobias described Sheldon as all brawn and no brain, and he’s born half-witted. At that time, I felt that Tobias was being too harsh to judge his own brother this way. Now I’m convinced that Tobias is right. Otherwise, how could he say that Winnie is still a kid when she’s two years elder than me?
