When Skylar heard Madelyn’s preposterous excuse after being caught using her skincare products, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter before giving the leftover cream to Madelyn. After all, she didn’t like sharing something so personal.
At that moment, she realized that the number of little quirks she had seemed to have picked up. She had forgotten that she used to wear hand-me-downs from Eva. Moreover, she never had a pair of new shoes, let alone clothes.
Upon entering the house, the living hall was in a mess. The sofa cushion had fallen onto the floor while the leftovers from her morning breakfast were still on the coffee table. Furthermore, the trash can was full as no one had taken it out.
After throwing the breakfast away, Tobias took out a napkin and wiped the oil stains off the table.
Meanwhile, Skylar came back downstairs after getting changed. Taking off her hat, she revealed her new hairstyle: maroon-colored shoulder-length hair.
Her goddess-like side bangs were now replaced by air bangs. When she wasn’t wearing makeup, Skylar would look even younger. Only then did Tobias noticed that she changed her hairdo.
“Did you confront Idania? Why did you do that?” Tobias looked at her intently.
Tobias didn’t approve of Skylar’s new look. He felt that it was too young and girly. Therefore, they would look out of place standing together.
Don’t I look like an uncle standing next to my niece? All this while, Tobias was not bothered by the difference in age. But this time, he was concerned by it.
Fidgeting with her hair, Skylar felt uncomfortable with its awkward length. She replied, “No wonder you called me so many times. Are you trying to interrogate me? However, I don’t think what I did was wrong. Your hate people who like to express their jealousy. Unfortunately, I have become one of them.”
Skylar wasn’t sincere in her admission at all. She gave Tobias a cursory response and didn’t intend to dwell on the details.
Opening the window to get some fresh air, the cool night breeze blew across her exquisite-looking face.
