Winnie was on pins and needles. She thought everything was perfectly planned and under control. But little did she know, Skylar was such an expert when it came to food. She had such a discerning palate. How could she even know that? Her sense of smell is as good as a dog’s.
After dinner, Tobias let the housekeeper cut the cake into few pieces. Skylar put the plate in front of Claudia.
She didn’t insist on forcing Claudia to eat the cake. Anyway, she had shown her sincerity.
Claudia pointed at the sofa opposite her. “Have a seat.” She acted like a queen who was issuing an order.
Skylar did as she was told respectfully. She sat upright, resting her feet firmly on the ground and both feet close to each other. She didn’t seem overcautious.
She put every theory she learned from her lessons into practice.
Tobias was about to sit down as he was afraid that Claudia would make things difficult for Skylar. Before he could sit down, Skylar purposely gave him a nudge and smiled. “Mrs. Ford and I are having some women talk. What are you doing here?”
She could see from Claudia’s eyes that she didn’t want Tobias to be there.
Skylar simply sent Tobias away with some random excuses.
Before he walked away, he caressed her hair gently. His eyes were full of affection. Claudia had only seen that kind of gaze when Tobias was looking at Idania.
