Tobias gently patted Skylar’s head. “What are you afraid of? An ugly daughter-in-law will have to face her parents-in-law sooner or later. Besides, you’re only going to meet mother-in-law today. Come on, it’s not your first time meeting my mom.”
Skylar didn’t know much about Tobias’ father as he rarely talked about him. The only information she had was Tobias’ father was still alive. He had a daughter and a son, and her daughter was Ingrid, the crazy woman.
Patricia opened the door for them. Skylar nodded and smiled at her.
She was a little surprised to see Winnie behind Patricia.
The two of them had been ripping on each other maliciously on the internet, and paying verified Instagram account to slander each other. But, on the surface, they still manage to pretend to be polite.
Claudia came down from upstairs. She was wearing a dark blue dress, with a hairpin on her hair. She didn’t look her age. Obviously, she had been taking good care of her skin.
Skylar wondered if Claudia had gotten an anti-wrinkle injection before. People would definitely believe she was in her fifties.
Winnie immediately held her arm lovingly as soon as Claudia got down. From the corner of her eyes, she gave Skylar a provocative stare.
“Mrs. Ford, it’s almost dinner time. Today, I’ve prepared pan-seared steak, scalloped potatoes, and grilled salmon for you. Sheldon told me that you like to eat fish. I specially learn to cook grilled salmon, thinking to impress you with my cooking skill.”
Claudia rested her hand on the back of Winnie’s hand. “That’s very kind of you. It’s not easy to make grilled salmon perfectly. Looks like my son could satisfy his taste buds in the future. How lucky!”
Skylar could remember Winnie’s public persona clearly. In a reality show, she presented herself as someone who didn’t know how to cook. She was even scared to turn on the stove and ended up covering her ears. Bullet screen comments flew across the screen.
Winnie is so adorable.
Don’t be scared Winnie. I will cook for you for the rest of my life.
Sob… Winnie, you did a great job.
Someone who didn’t even know how to turn on the stove knew how to cook grilled salmon. The phony b*tch was obviously putting on an act.
