After dinner, when they got into the car, she turned to look at him. “Are you full? You have such a small appetite. How did you even grow so tall? You weren’t born in a difficult time…”
Annoyed at her endless chattering, he interrupted her. “I don’t like it when people eat too much. It’ll make their minds unclear. Only when people are hungry will their thoughts be clear.”
Such a horrifying level of self-discipline made Skylar speechless. No wonder they say that successful people are extremely self-disciplined.
She whispered, “Is that necessary? You don’t need to think about anything at night.”
Tobias smiled slightly and replied, “Why wouldn’t you need to think? For example, what kind of posture should I use tonight so that you’ll be more comfortable.”
Even in a normal chat, he misleads the conversation. Skylar took out a small mirror and slowly touched up her lipstick. She said, “Not tonight. My period’s supposed to come anytime soon. The anticipation’s killing me. I’ve been under so much pressure recently that my period’s already been late for over ten days.”
He started the car and asked, “Should we go to the drugstore? To get a pregnancy test kit for you.”
Skylar frowned. He’s saying it as if this happens all the time. Hmph! He must be used to doing such a thing…
“How many women have you bought it for?” she asked.
He frowned at her question. “That’s upsetting. I haven’t bought it for anyone else. Or you can go by yourself, and I’ll wait in the car.”
She hurriedly held his arm and smiled flatteringly. “Don’t. I’m joking. Come on, why can’t you take a joke?”
In reality, she would definitely not go get a pregnancy test by herself. After all, people at the drugstore would surely recognize her.
Furthermore, even if she were not a public figure, she would not go and buy one. Otherwise, it would be obvious that she had done something shameful.
As she was easily embarrassed, she would not be able to stand such a thing.
By then, Tobias had driven to a twenty-four-hour drugstore. Before getting off, he asked, “What brand do you want?”
