“It’s just a dinner with my mother at my house. As for the theme, it’s not a formal dinner. It’s just a casual family dinner.”
Upon hearing that, Skylar spat out the water she had swallowed in. She almost coughed her lungs out.
She tilted her head to the side and spat out a mouthful of water on Tobias’ pants, and it was an awkward spot.
Immediately, Skylar took out a tissue from her bag and wiped it hurriedly.
Tobias grabbed her wrist and stopped her movements. “Stop wiping. You might get yourself into trouble. Did you do that on purpose?”
Skylar thought Tobias was definitely out of his mind. Is he wired wrong or something? What’s gotten into him?
She was afraid that Claudia would drug her through the food send her to hell.
Skylar repeatedly asked him for confirmation.
“Do I have to go? Do I really have to go? I wouldn’t get kicked out, would I? Should I prepare some gifts?”
Tobias was clearly annoyed by her questions. Hence, he stopped her mouth with his lips. He gently bit her tongue and shut her mouth quickly.
Tobias was actually taking his chances this time. Skylar was the one who pulled the trigger for it as she had been saying things about a sense of security all the time.
How to make her feel more secure? Meeting the parents? Acknowledging her existence? Tobias didn’t know what exactly Skylar wanted either.
He remembered it wasn’t his first time telling Skylar that the sense of security was self-growth, not given by others. One must be stronger and increase self-confidence in order to feel secure.
However, Skylar didn’t understand the meaning. Of course Tobias wouldn’t make things difficult for her. Perhaps, her family of origin had a huge impact on her. She had been yearning for love and warmth.
Few days ago, Sheldon introduced Winnie to Claudia.
Surprisingly, she behaved uncharacteristically. She didn’t care much about Winnie’s background nor her job. Instead, she liked Winnie a lot.
