Kai let out a smile. “It’s just a temporary fix. It’s normal for my aunt to take me in, isn’t it?”
If that was the case, Skylar could only send him until one kilometer within the area. He would have to walk the remaining distance by foot.
After all, she did all this to prevent unnecessary trouble.
Skylar stared outside her car window, looking at the busy street and endless vehicles on the road. She was especially fond of the freezing night wind as it helped her clear her mind effectively.
She was not joking about the one-kilometer distance when she asked the driver to stop by a convenience store located exactly one kilometer away from Claudia’s house.
Kai started walking relaxingly after getting dropped off, while Skylar left without any hesitation.
It was past midnight when she arrived home, but her sleepiness disappeared when she spotted a blue Porsche parked outside the house.
She hurriedly keyed in the door’s password and entered the house, tingling with anticipation, but to her dismay, she was welcomed with deserted quietness.
Tobias was not there. He had only parked the car outside.
Not long after Skylar sat down, she received a call from Tobias asking her to get to the top floor of Tower 132 in Zachary Lane.
Before Skylar could ask why, Tobias had ended the call.
Recently, she had watched many videos on TikTok about how a man would surprise his woman. There were all sorts of creative acts, ranging from a gift planted in the car’s trunk to a candlelit dinner on the balcony.
On her way there, she kept on imagining what sort of surprise Tobias had prepared for her. Since when did he know to express romance? He’s changed.
Little did she know that what was awaiting her was not a surprise but a bombshell.
