Before Skylar left the house, Claudia instructed a housekeeper to hand her a package of health checkups.
Skylar was left in total puzzlement. “Is this necessary? I am in good health.”
She scanned through the checkup list, including items like a premarital checkup and recessive gene screening.
Seeing that Tobias was not around, the housekeeper spoke frankly, “This is Mrs. Ford’s order. She wants to make sure your body is healthy.”
Even though it appeared to be an act of care, Skylar felt humiliated. Needless to say, after she completed the checkup, she would be required to hand the result back to Claudia. Who is she to expect that I’ll do everything she says?
Eventually, Skylar handed the package back to the housekeeper.
“Thank you, but I’ve just completed the annual body checkup conducted by the company. Anyway, please thank Mrs. Ford for me.”
The housekeeper advised, “If you don’t take it, I’m afraid Mrs. Ford will not be happy.”
However, Skylar had made up her mind that she would be bow down to anyone for whatever reason.
She replied with a smile. “Please explain to her for me then. I have anemia, so I cannot conduct checkups too frequently. It can wait till the time if we’ve decided to get married. I think she’ll understand.”
Tobias, who was waiting in the car, was confused about what was taking Skylar so long. The next moment, he impatiently honked twice.
Upon hearing that, Skylar turned and walked out of the house, ignoring the housekeeper.
“Why didn’t you wait for me in there?” Skylar complained the second she got into the car.
Tobias gazed at Skylar innocently. He came out earlier to start the car engine to warm the car. It has been raining the entire night, so the inside of the car was freezing.
