Sheldon reminded him, “I would advise you to hold your horses. It’s not the time to cancel your engagement as Mom is still too weak. Is it because some lady is desperately giving you pressure?”
Leaning into his chair, Tobias ignored his question. He then remarked with his eyes closed, “I knew it. It’s a waste of time to get you to do anything. Keep a close eye on Tanya. She seems to be up to no good as she caused many outrageous incidents recently.”
Sheldon was jolted by how brutally honest his brother was.
Meanwhile, Skylar returned to school with her luggage in tow. When she checked the calls she blocked, there were three from Tobias. He adhered to his rule of not calling more than three times if the recipient failed to pick up.
If he blocked her, it would simply be redundant.
After completing the administrative procedures for her accommodation, Skylar looked forward to her new dormmates. The moment she opened the dormitory door, she was dumbfounded when she saw Avery.
Avery too was caught by surprise. Rolling her eyes at Skylar, her gaze was filled with disdain.
She reminded everyone with a smirk, “Going forward, all of you should lock up your valuables. I can’t believe the management decided to squeeze one more in here without seeking our opinions.”
Ignoring her, Skylar put down her luggage. As her phone lit up, she brought it out to check. When she saw that it was Tobias, she was so nervous that her hands perspired slightly.
Tobias: I’ll come visit you tomorrow. See ya.
Under the dim moonlight, Skylar looked out the window. She was so nervous that her heart pounded furiously. It was as if Tobias had put a GPS tracker on her and haunted her like a lingering spirit.
It seemed he was enjoying himself and not tired of playing this game.
Wendy asked, “Avery, do you want to have something together at the cafeteria?”
Avery yawned. “I don’t feel like it. Why don’t you help me get something instead? Besides, you’re being mean for not inviting Skylar along.”
Avery squinted her eyes and stole a knowing glance at Skylar.
