Just then, Tobias came down from upstairs. He was still wearing the same light gray casual wear he had on before Skylar left home earlier. It seemed like he hadn’t left the house the entire day.
After changing into slippers, Skylar went upstairs with Tobias. Her footsteps were heavy, and her thoughts were written all over her face.
As Tobias could easily tell that Skylar was upset, he lifted her chin with one hand and asked, “Do you not like Madelyn? Even though she’s a little chatty, she’s an efficient worker and has a warm personality. She’s a great cook as well. I’ll get her to make a good meal for us tonight.”
Skylar sat down in front of her dressing table and removed her earrings. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she noticed that her makeup started creasing as she was so busy the entire day that she did not have time to touch up.
“I’m fine with any arrangement you make,” the woman replied placidly.
Tobias, who was standing behind Skylar, noticed the displeasure on her face. He leaned forward, and putting his face next to hers, he said, “You can tell me right away if you’re not happy with this arrangement. You know I’m bad at reading thoughts.”
Skylar met the man’s gaze and noticed a hint of impatience in his eyes. “I just haven’t been resting well lately and keep having nightmares. Do you have any solution for that?”
“I’ll get you a crystal bracelet. Crystals have calming properties. After wearing it, you should stop having nightmares. However, it might also be something psychological, and overcoming that aspect would depend on yourself,” Tobias replied.
Upon hearing his words, Skylar knew that Valerie did not lie to her. Her crystal bracelet was indeed given to her by Tobias.
“It’s the thought that counts. I don’t think I’ll need that bracelet. I guess there’s nothing I need to be afraid of since I haven’t done anything against my conscience.”
Tobias moved towards one side and said plainly, “You were the one who asked if I had a solution, but you rejected it. Well, I can’t help you then.”
