Tobias caught it in the air and frowned as well when he saw Idania’s texts. He knew how hard life had been for her ever since her parents died. To make matters worse, she had no friends to depend on and could practically die alone at home and no one would know.
However, her actions had caused him a lot of problems indirectly, especially after Skylar saw her messages as he had no idea how he could explain it to Idania either.
Skylar glared coldly at Tobias with a sarcastic smile as she asked, “Well? Aren’t you going to give me an explanation? I don’t quite like being lied to, as you know. Since when you got so close with your ex-girlfriend, hmm?”
Tobias didn’t like being accused of lying and said calmly, “You’re overreacting. She’s been having some problems with her health lately, so she needs my help with stuff. I’m only helping her out of respect for our previous relationship. That’s all.”
Skylar tried her best to be big-hearted and understanding about it but still found herself feeling disgusted no matter what.
“I don’t like you being in contact with her. We’re not living in the past where men could have a few wives, so leave me if you still have feelings for each other,” she said with her back facing Tobias while lying down in bed.
Tobias couldn’t help but find her statement a little ridiculous. Skylar was the pessimistic type who would overthink and jump to the worst possible conclusions whenever she got emotional.
He then sat down beside her on the bed and whispered into her ear, “I know. Don’t worry. I haven’t done anything that would count as cheating on you.”
Tobias sure knows how to pick his words! I can’t believe how casual he is making this all sound!
