“Was the matchmaking successful, Mr. Ford?” Skylar coldly asked. Smiling languidly, she leaned back into the sofa while desperately suppressing the raging emotions within her.
Amidst the suffocating silence, Skylar assumed Tobias would storm out in anger after being exposed.
Given his character, she expected no less.
Her cold and mocking smile had pierced his heart like a dagger.
Finally, he broke the silence with a calm and deep voice. “Please listen to me. When I came home, the woman was already there; my mom invited her over. Do you actually think I need someone to matchmake me if I’m really looking for a wife? Did Kai tell you about this?”
Despite being smart, Skylar could also be impulsive at times. At that moment, she realized her questioning had carelessly exposed Kai, and it wasn’t appropriate to have done so.
She tried to cover up her mistake. “No, it has nothing to do with him. Just take it that I’m blindly speculating. You have so many servants at home. It’s not difficult for me to bribe any one of them.”
Tobias didn’t bother to expose her ludicrous excuse.
When he tried to hold Skylar’s hand, she pulled it away instead.
Tobias was stunned when his hand grasped at thin air. Lifting his gaze at her, she looked both alluring and defiant at the same time.
Stung by a sense of bitterness, Tobias didn’t force the issue.
